He said the bank had lodged a report at the Seapark police station in Petaling Jaya on the day they realised the data loss.
Fuzi said an investigation was being carried out under Section 379 of the Penal Code for theft.
“The issue is an internal problem of CIMB and they have taken the necessary security measures and will issue a statement on it.
“If they need police help, we will help and the case will be investigated by the Commercial Crimes Department, Bukit Aman,” he told a press conference after the closing ceremony of a gathering of civilian staff of the police department at the PDRM College in Cheras here.
Last Tuesday, CIMB Group Holdings Bhd was reported to have intensified security measures in all its outlets after several magnetic tapes containing back-up data were lost during a data transaction.
However, CIMB Group said the tapes did not contain any personal information such as Personal Identification Numbers (PIN), passwords or Card Verification Value.
