Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) would like to address a Financial Sector Cyber Threat Intelligence Platform (FinTIP) alert that was seen circulating on social media.

BNM and the financial industry regularly share information about potential threats in the cyberspace. The FinTIP alert is a routine precautionary notice meant for financial institutions and their connected counterparties. FinTIP constantly scans the cyber landscape and highlights emerging threats including potential escalation in hacking activities. The FinTIP alert allows financial institutions to take appropriate preventive measures to secure their systems and avoid any potential disruption to financial services.
