Malaysia's Ministry of Health Confirms Official Website Hack
The Ministry of Health (KKM) has confirmed that its official website was targeted by hackers, following reports of unauthorized access early this morning.
Unauthorized Website Access
The confirmation comes after a social media user shared screenshots of the Ministry of Health (KKM) homepage, alleging that the site had been compromised. The digital evidence presented by the user suggested that unauthorized parties had successfully gained access to the site's interface during the early hours of the day.

While the initial reports focused on the visual changes to the homepage, the ministry is working to assess whether any sensitive data or backend systems were affected by the intrusion.
Incident Investigation
Following the public claims on social media, the KKM technical department initiated protocols to secure the platform. Security experts typically monitor such incidents to identify the entry point used by the hackers and to prevent further unauthorized activities within the national health database.
