A single wrongly sent email or an unauthorised ChatGPT upload can now trigger a statutory 72-hour reporting deadline under Malaysia's updated PDPA. Ong Johnson and Lo Khai Yi of Halim Hong & Quek join Tech Talk to explain why "simple negligence" is legally indistinguishable from a hacker attack, the RM250,000 fines facing directors, and why a fire drill for your data is no longer optional.



Tune In To Learn More About:




The "Output" Doctrine: Why the law disregards your intent, whether it's a sophisticated ransomware hit or a misplaced paper form, the legal breach is defined solely by the effect on personal data.


The 72-Hour Clock: The strict timeline for assessing "significant harm" and why internal delays for board meetings or procurement can lead to a "love letter" (investigation) from the Personal Data Protection Department.


The LLM Leak: The hidden risk of employees using unpaid, consumer-grade AI chatbots to process client lists, effectively training global models on your private data.


Director Accountability: How failing to notify regulators doesn't just hurt the company; it exposes individual directors to personal liability and potential two-year imprisonment.


The Multi-Jurisdictional Logistical Nightmare: Managing live updates and conflicting timelines across APAC, Europe, and the US during a global breach.


Simulations vs. Policies: Why everyone "has a plan until they get punched in the face", the critical need for annual breach simulations over static manuals.


Data Processing Agreements (DPA): The "10-out-of-10" requirement to mandate that third-party suppliers return or destroy data once a relationship ends.
