SARCOMA Cyber Security Incident

updated as of 18 November 2024

Dear Valued Investors,

This notice serves as an update to our earlier communication on 22 October 2024 regarding the SARCOMA Cyber Security Incident.

Pheim Unit Trusts Berhad (PUTB) experienced a cybersecurity breach that led to the unauthorised access and exposure of certain client data, including information related to some EPF investors. It has come to our attention that some personal data may be circulating online. The PUTB Incident Response Team is actively working to assess the situation and mitigate any risks. We are working closely with the relevant authorities to address this issue and ensure a swift resolution while maintaining the security and confidentiality of client information. Further updates will be provided as the investigation progresses. To safeguard the interests of our EPF investors, the EPF has temporarily suspended all EPF-Members’ Investment Scheme (EPF-MIS) approved funds effective 18 November 2024, until further notice.

Due to this suspension, no new sales or switch-ins will be accepted for our existing EPF-MIS funds and for new EPF-MIS. However, please be assured that the existing investments of all unit holders remain unaffected. Existing EPF-MIS may either retain their investments or opt for redemption. Meanwhile, all non-EPF members’ investments, as well as redemptions, will continue to be accepted and processed as usual upon booking.

For any further inquiries or concerns, please contact us at support@pheimunittrusts.com or call 03-2142 8888.
