Malaysia Cyber Consumer Association president Siraj Jalil said cyberattacks had also become a feature of geopolitical conflicts, with warring parties leveraging cyberspace to target the infrastructure and systems of adversary nations.KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia must step up its vigilance against threats posed by state-linked hacker groups capable of breaching networks and crippling essential services, says Malaysia Cyber Consumer Association (MCCA) president Siraj Jalil.
He said these well-organised groups were allegedly backed or funded by specific entities to launch large-scale cyberattacks against organisations and other nations.
One of them is the North Korea-linked Lazarus Group, which is believed to be involved in several international hacking incidents, including attacks on the financial sector and cryptocurrency exchange platforms.
