In a statement tonight, he said the ministry calls on the public to halt all baseless speculations being circulated on social media as it not only clouds the situation but could also create unrest.
The government is now strengthening cybersecurity measures to prevent cyber attacks such as the hacking of the Social Security Organisation (Socso) website last Saturday (December 2).
In a statement today, Socso's communication and corporate affairs division said the incident last week was not the first time it had been targeted with such attacks.
The Personal Data Protection Department has taken note of the allegations and is taking appropriate action, said a spokesperson for the Communications and Digital Ministry in a message in its media WhatsApp group.
