MALAYSIA WANTS TO INTRODUCE AN ANTI-HACKING APP. WTF IS THIS?

The Ministry of Communications and Multimedia (MenKOMM) announces that they will
be introducing a special app that is meant to curb hacking. According to
Minister Annuar Musa, the app “can help to check hacking activities, which are
getting prevalent now”.



The Minister said that the “anti-hacking” application “can be used by all
gadgets registered in this country”. However, it might be a paid application,
and he explained that the payment aspect of it has yet to be decided.






“If there is a charge, we will ensure that the price is reasonable and suitable
for all parties,” he added.

Annuar Musa said that he is planning on meeting with the app’s owner outside the
country soon. He also mentioned that Cyber Security Malaysia will be reviewing
the app before the launch.






“I am also asking Cyber Security Malaysia (CSM) to conduct specific studies on
this application because there are still several matters that need to be
scrutinised before it is launched for the people in this country,” continued
Annuar Musa.



The announcement of this new “anti-hacking” app is a little worrying,
considering the quality of the previous apps released by government ministries
and agencies. Just for an example, JPJ’s eAduan app that was meant to be helpful
was hidden inside another app. And in Rory and Anep’s top-notch video where they
tried using Malaysia’s public transport, Anep pointed out how terrible the Pulse
app is.

Also, recently Prime Minister Ismail Sabri and Minister Saifuddin Abdullah’s
Telegram accounts were reportedly hacked, despite being perceived to be more
secure than WhatsApp. They’ve asked members of the public to ignore messages
from those accounts. We can only hope that the “anti-hacking” app would take
these concerns into account before launching it to the public.

As we know, there’s no such thing as a single app to prevent hacking.
Cybersecurity and hacking prevention involves multitudes of factors as criminals
resort to phishing or social engineering where victims are fooled into providing
their credentials.

But while we wait, there are other apps you can use now that can help beef up
security. You can use password managers like like Bitwarden or even the Google
Password Manager to ensure each service and website uses a unique complicated
password. Also, VPN apps can encrypt your data and traffic when using shared
WiFi networks. It’s also good advice to not click on links or download APK files
sent from strangers. There are malware apps which can steal your online banking
credentials and OTP.
