KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM) has identified four possible attempts to hack into the national defence communication network recently.
ATM Cyber and Electromagnetic Defence director-general Rear Admiral Datuk Shamsuddin Ludin said investigations showed phishing done by a group or individual was to hack and test the integrity of cyber defence technology while testing their skills in using current malware technology.
According to him, hackers used phishing emails in random attacks on the official email network used by several agencies in the Defence Ministry and Armed Forces recently. On Jan 13, ATM Commander Gen Tan Sri Affendi Buang confirmed that the entire ATM communication network which was exposed to Internet access had remained secure and that hacking activities were detected early.
