KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia Berhad (“Bursa Malaysia” or “the Exchange”), in collaboration with the Securities Commission Malaysia (“SC”), has swiftly contained and quantified the recent incidents of unauthorised access and trading activities reported on 24 April 2025.
The breaches, which were isolated to online client accounts at a handful of brokers, have been thoroughly identified. Immediate measures have been taken to prevent further occurrences, with the Exchange working closely alongside the affected parties to resolve the situation in a fair, transparent manner.
To safeguard investors, Bursa Malaysia has issued a directive requiring the relevant brokers to retain affected securities and proceeds for 14 days—or longer if necessary—to facilitate ongoing investigations. Discussions with the brokers are already underway to determine a fair resolution for the impacted trades.
Notably, the unauthorised activities were confined to trades involving Bina Puri Holdings Bhd and Bina Puri’s Warrant-B last Thursday afternoon. No other incidents have been reported since. As a preventive measure, all brokers have been instructed to further strengthen their internal controls and cybersecurity frameworks.
A comprehensive forensic audit has also been commissioned to uncover the root cause of the breach and ensure accountability.
Bursa Malaysia emphasised that its trading and clearing systems remain robust, secure, and fully operational, ensuring continued market confidence and accessibility for all participants.
