  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR: Duopharma Biotech Bhd has suffered a cyberattack which granted unauthorized access to its information technology systems, according to preliminary investigations. The company disclosed in a filing with Bursa Malaysia that personal data may have been taken from the stolen data files. The breach was identified by the firm's internal cyber defense systems that detected a system access attempt without authorization. The company's core corporate network and internal operational systems have remained secure and functional despite the incident. Duopharma Biotech has launched a thorough incident response review after the containment. Initial findings confirm that there has been no disruption to the company's core business operations, and all corporate activities continue to operate normally. The pharmaceutical company intends to collaborate with internal and external cybersecurity professionals to conduct a digital forensic investigation and establish the precise scope of the files involved. The company's cybersecurity posture will also be reviewed, and additional measures may be put in place to enhance the security of its systems and data if required. Duopharma Biotech does not believe the incident has any financial repercussions, but it will continue to assess the impact as more details emerge from the ongoing investigation. The company will notify the Personal Data Protection Commissioner within the required timeframe concerning the alleged exfiltration of personal data. The firm will continue to monitor the situation and may release additional announcements if there are any material developments related to the incident.",
