Aside from experiencing heavy traffic on its website for the new Apple iPhone 6 models, M1 now has to deal with a potential security breach.

The telco made the announcement on its Facebook Page at about 7.30PM that it is suspending pre-orders for the iPhones temporarily to protect customers' personal information while it is "urgently investigating this issue". 

We've reached out to M1 for more information on this matter and will update this section soon.
