College CEO Sues Telco Over Phone ‘Data Leak’
A chief executive officer has filed a RM20mil suit against a telecommunications company for allegedly revealing contents of her SMS exchanges and recordings of her teleconversations with other individuals to third parties.
Haslina Abdullah, 39, who is CEO of a private college in Kuala Terengganu, filed the suit against the telco at the High Court registry here at 2pm yesterday through the law firm of Messrs Rafizi Zubairi & Co.
In her statement of claim, she said her feelings were hurt, besides suffering trauma and mental stress as a result of the episode.
She alleged that when she arrived at her office on March 11, she received a package which contained nine A4 sized pages with information about her SMS exchanges and a pen drive that had recordings of her telephone conversations.
She added that she lodged a police report on the matter on March 14 and sought relief from the telco, but was ignored.
She is seeking damages totalling RM20mil and other relief deemed fit by the court. – Bernama
