Tabung Haji resumes services after cyberattack

KUALA LUMPUR: Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH) has returned to providing services after suffering a cyberattack last week that affected depositors. The institution suspended services on Thursday to safeguard depositors' funds and personal data. TH has since undertaken system recovery work and enhanced its security measures, apologizing for the disruption caused.

The organization has been collaborating with cybersecurity experts and authorities to investigate the attack and mitigate potential threats. TH has reported the incident to the police and notified the National Cyber Security Agency and the Personal Data Protection Department. TH's branches in Kedah, Terengganu, and Kelantan resumed operations yesterday, while those in other regions reopened as usual today.

Services through TH's banking partners have also resumed. However, THiJARI's password reset function, along with new user registrations and online account openings, still require additional recovery efforts. TH assures depositors that their funds remain secure and urges them to report any suspicious transactions immediately through the TH Contact Centre at 03-6207 1919.
