Tech blogger sets up website for verification


Pix from Keith Rozario

The tech blogger and IT expert expressed concern that since some of the information leaked, like the 46.2 million phone numbers, MyKad numbers and addresses, were unchange­able in nature, the victims could be “exposed” for life.
