Most online scams start with just one click

Every day, hundreds of Malaysians fall victim to online scams — and it usually starts with a single click. Whether it’s a fake link in a message, a 'lucky draw' post, or a cloned website, scammers rely on that one moment of curiosity or carelessness. According to CyberSecurity Malaysia, phishing remains the most common online threat, making up more than half of all fraud reports in 2024. Once you click a malicious link, attackers can steal login details, install spyware, or redirect you to fake payment pages that look perfectly real.
