A Case of Unprotected Personal Data

What most Malaysian companies are doing...unfortunately...

Most of us get calls, texts and emails from random strangers or companies. Surprisingly, some of them have some private information about us that we should be wary about. For example, recently I got a call from someone who knew I had just applied for a credit card from a local bank. He even quoted my new credit card number, and wanted me to reveal more private information. Makes me wonder how they got all this information. Could it be from the bank's documents containing my information that were not protected properly? Things like this sadly happens, and that is one of the many reasons why the recent Data Protection Act came into force in Malaysia. One SIMPLE way Malaysian companies can do to limit information 'leakages' is simple, that is to SHRED!

Companies often just sell their papers for recycling, and this includes confidential documents. Companies fail to realise the importance of proper document destruction and the risks involved in failing to do so. Recyclers have no fiduciary responsibility to ensure the security of the papers in their custody and control. Basically companies are left with just 2 options; destroy those confidential documents themselves or outsource it. Now, employees would not want to waste hours of their productive time just to do shredding, which is why the popular and most efficient move is to hire a 'specialist' in shredding.

And that is why MyShred Mobile is here. We shred in 10 minutes what a typical office shredder can shred in 3 hours!! Our process is secure, from locked bins in your office, until its shredded to pieces. And if you really care about the environment, we recycle! Or if you are really paranoid about the security of your document, we can let you have the shredded pieces back.

Time to move on and change our habits....we need you to encourage companies to destruct documents responsibly.

Identity theft: Contractor landed with RM206,550 debt

KUALA LUMPUR: A contractor, who lost his identity card, has been blacklisted for not paying up a RM206,550 loan that he had no knowledge of.

Abu Bakar Ariffin, 70, said he only came know about the situation when he wanted to open a bank account last May.

"The bank told me I had failed to settle the loan for purchase of a parcel of land in Langkawi on Dec 7, 2004, when in fact I do not know anything about it," he told Bernama here today.

Abu Bakar, who used to be a stringer for Bernama in Muar, Johor in the 70s, said prior to that he had lost his identity card three times and believed it had been used by someone to apply for the loan.

He lodged a police report at the Kajang police station on Aug 25 and has also filed a complaint with  Lembaga Kesedaran Pencegahan Jenayah Malaysia (LKPJM).

He added that he planned to take legal action against the bank that gave out the loan for not practising due diligence. -- BERNAMA
