Demanding Accountability: Join the Class Action Lawsuit to Make Data Breaches Count
This legal action powerfully conveys that data breaches cannot go unnoticed or unpunished.
If you have been affected by the data leak from Perkeso and wish to join the class action lawsuit, it is crucial to seek guidance from the legal firm handling the case.
They will provide the necessary information and support throughout the legal proceedings.
This initiative highlights the importance of data protection and the need for organizations to prioritize robust cybersecurity measures.
As data breaches become more prevalent, it is essential to hold responsible parties accountable and ensure that individuals’ personal information is safeguarded.
Data "leak" is 1 of the most serious national security issues in Malaysia yet there is no real movement among lawmakers to get to the bottom of it. Hamzah can say the data is 'ours but not ours' and Opposition MPs will accept and move along.
