MELAKA: The Election Commission (EC) is working with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and other relevant parties to strengthen the security of its website following reports of a suspected cyberattack.

EC chairman Datuk Seri Ramlan Harun said a report on the incident had also been submitted to the relevant authorities as an initial measure to ensure the commission’s systems remained protected.

“We have already worked with all relevant authorities to ensure that this does not happen again. Insya-Allah,” he told reporters.

He was speaking after inspecting the early voting process for the 16th Melaka State Election at Sekolah Menengah Kem Terendak in Sungai Udang today.
