KUALA LUMPUR, June 14\u00a0(NNN-Bernama) — Prudential Assurance Malaysia Bhd (PAMB) and Prudential BSN Takaful Bhd (PruBSN) have\u00a0confirmed that they have been affected by the global MOVEit data-theft attack, \u201cwhere a zero-day vulnerability was exploited.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two insurance companies said that as soon as they became aware of the breach, \u201cwe took action to isolate the affected server while the incident response team launched a thorough investigation and also notified relevant authorities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It is very likely personal agent and customer data are affected which may include name, contact number, national identification number, bank account and\/or partial credit card information, which will reduce the risk of unauthorised transactions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
