“We’re aware that some users are having trouble connecting to google.com.my, or are being directed to a different website. Google services for the google.com.my domain are not compromised. We’ve reached out to the organisation responsible for managing this domain name and hope to have the issue resolved,” the company said in a statement.
Also, Google Malaysia has declined to comment further but has confirmed that it’s a DNS redirect attack on its official Twitter page.
