Malaysia bans Wise app for government staff
The Malaysian authorities have issued a directive banning all government employees from using the "Waze" navigation app, citing security concerns related to the application's association with Israeli institutions and its inclusion of laws that serve their interests. This decision was made out of fears that the app could collect personal data and spy on government movements. "Waze" is one of the applications established in Israel before being acquired by Google in 2013, and it relies on gathering large amounts of user data. As an alternative, the government has recommended using the local "Toggo" app, developed by the Malaysian Road Authority, to strengthen digital sovereignty. This step is part of a broader strategy to protect the electronic space from potential cyber threats that could exploit applications connected to Israel.
