Letter on blocked websites fake, says MCMC

KUALA LUMPUR – The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has denied issuing a digital letter with its Penang chapter’s letterhead on user support service feedback on blocked websites.

In a statement today, the internet regulator said the fake letter was spread by irresponsible parties.

“MCMC has never issued such a letter to the public. The public is reminded to always be vigilant and not be easily deceived by the actions of certain parties who spread letters, emails or messages whose authenticity is unverified.

“At the same time, avoid replying to messages and clicking on the link in the letter.”

People are also urged to immediately report suspicious content so that follow-up action can be taken by the authorities, it said. – Bernama, December 12, 2020
