MOVEit Cyber Security Incident
Prudential Assurance Malaysia Berhad (PAMB) and Prudential BSN Takaful Berhad (PruBSN) can confirm that we are among many companies around the world that have been affected by the global MOVEit data-theft attack, where a zero-day vulnerability was exploited.
Our customers and our agents are our highest priority and as soon as we became aware of the breach, we took action to isolate the affected server while the incident response team launched a thorough investigation. We have also notified relevant authorities.
It is very likely personal agent and customer data is affected which may include name, contact number, national identification number, bank account and/or partial credit card information. The risk of unauthorised transactions is reduced as only partial credit card information is included.
Our investigation is still on-going. We are working to confirm this as quickly as we can.
Immediate steps are being taken to notify impacted customers and provide appropriate support. We have also set up a dedicated hotline with extended hours that our customers can call now.
To safeguard yourself, we recommend our agents and customers to:
• Remain cautious of any unsolicited communications.
• Avoid clicking on links or downloading attachments from suspicious email.
• Review your bank accounts and credit card statements regularly.
• If you are suspicious that your credit card is compromised in any manner, we recommend that
you contact your card issuer directly
Globally, cyber security attacks are increasing. We are constantly reviewing and updating our defence systems and we have responded swiftly to this vulnerability in the MOVEit software.
Our businesses remain fully operational and there is no impact to our customer operations.
