Bank Rakyat has disabled access to most of its websites after several of its banking pages, including the iRakyat online banking login page, were defaced in a suspected cyberattack late on Friday.
Shortly before midnight, the bank posted a notice on its social media channels after the defaced sites were taken offline. The bank did not immediately confirm the incident as a cyberattack.
The defacement was claimed by a threat actor going by the name MARLANWG. The same actor previously claimed to be offering webshell access to production MySQL databases belonging to the Royal Malaysian Customs Department.
