Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has said that he refused to pay a US $10 million ransom demanded by hackers who, according to some reports, paralysed operations at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).
Anwar described how he had refused to comply with a ransom demand after a cyber attack on Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB), which operates the country’s airports, in the early hours of Sunday morning.
“When I was informed about this … I did not wait five seconds. I said no,”
