KUALA LUMPUR (April 7): A former staff of the Immigration Department is among the individuals suspected to have created the pathway for the Temporary Employment Visit Pass (PLKS) forgery syndicate to hack into the department’s database system, according to Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Datuk Seri Azam Baki.
He said the service of the staff, however, was terminated several years ago.
“It was believed that the staff had access to the immigration database system and had allowed the syndicate to steal the passwords used by immigration officers.
“They used various equipment, such as a router, to hack into the system to the extent of being able to duplicate the software and print the PLKS outside the immigration office,” he told the press conference on Op Hack at the MACC headquarters here today.
Azam said five suspects, including one with the title “Datuk” had been remanded for six days from today to facilitate further investigation into the case. – Bernama
