Nearly 130,000 Singtel customers’ personal information, including NRIC details, stolen in data breach

Categories:

SINGAPORE: Personal information of nearly 130,000 Singtel customers was stolen after a recent data breach of a third-party file-sharing system, the local telco said on Wednesday (Feb 17).

Singtel has completed initial investigations into the breach and established which files on the Accellion file transfer appliance were accessed illegally, the company said in a news release.

The personal information taken includes about 129,000 customers’ NRIC numbers and a combination of names, dates of birth, mobile numbers and addresses, said Singtel.

In addition, bank account details of 28 former Singtel employees and credit card details of 45 staff members of a corporate customer with Singtel mobile lines were taken.

“Some information” from 23 enterprises, including suppliers, partners and corporate customers, was also stolen.

The telco has started notifying all affected individuals and enterprises to help them and their staff manage the possible risks involved and take appropriate follow-up action, it said.

Singtel’s Group CEO Yuen Kuan Moon said: “While this data theft was committed by unknown parties, I’m very sorry this has happened to our customers and apologise unreservedly to everyone impacted. 

“Data privacy is paramount, we have disappointed our stakeholders and not met the standards we have set for ourselves.

“Given the complexity and sensitivity of our investigations, we are being as transparent as possible and providing information that is accurate to the best of our knowledge. We are doing our level best to keep our customers supported in mitigating the potential risks.”

Singtel said a “large part” of the leaked data includes its “internal information that is non-sensitive”, such as data logs, test data, reports and emails.

In response to queries from CNA, the Personal Data Protection Commission said it is aware of the data breach and is investigating.

“SOPHISTICATED” CYBERATTACK ON ACCELLION

Accellion, which Singtel used as a third-party file-sharing system, was the target of a “sophisticated” cyberattack exploiting a “previously unknown vulnerability”, said the telco.

When it was first alerted to exploits against the system in December last year, Singtel “promptly applied” a series of patches provided by Accellion to “plug the vulnerability”, it said. The last patch was on Dec 27 last year.

On Jan 23, Accellion advised that a new vulnerability had emerged that rendered the earlier patches previously applied in December ineffective.

Singtel immediately took the system offline, and the FTA system has been kept offline since Jan 23, said the company.

“On Jan 30, Singtel’s attempt to patch the new vulnerability in the FTA system triggered an anomaly alert. Accellion informed thereafter that the system could have been breached,” said Singtel.

The telco’s investigations later confirmed the breach and identified Jan 20 as the date it had occurred.

“On Feb 9, Singtel established that files were taken as a result of the breach and informed the public two days later on Feb 11,” said the company.

IDENTITY MONITORING SERVICES FOR AFFECTED CUSTOMERS

On Wednesday, Singtel said it is appointing a global data and information service provider to provide identity monitoring services at no cost to affected customers to help them “manage potential risks”.

This service monitors public websites and “non-public places” on the Internet, and notifies users of any unusual activity related to their personal information, the telco explained.

Affected individual customers will be notified via email or post about what personal details were accessed and how they can best manage the risks involved, Singtel said in an FAQ on its website.

“We are working with the utmost urgency to ascertain the nature and extent of data that has been potentially accessed. We will reach out to individuals and organisations whose information may have been illegally downloaded,” it added in the FAQ.

Singtel’s core operations and functions remain “unaffected and sound” as the incident involves a standalone system provided by a third-party vendor, said Mr Yuen. 

He thanked customers and partners for their “patience and understanding” as it continued its cyber and criminal investigations to “understand the full extent of this breach”.

“Information security remains our highest priority and you have my commitment that we are conducting a thorough review of our systems and processes to strengthen them,” he added.

Covid-19 (Feb 16): 2,720 new infections, active cases continue downtrend

Categories:

The country reported 2,720 new cases of Covid-19 as of noon today, most of which were still concentrated in the Klang Valley.

A total of 1,391 (51.1 percent) new cases involved Malaysians, while the remaining 1,329 (48.9 percent) were non-citizens. All of the latest cases were locally transmitted.

Only 57 of them (2.1 percent) involved prisons and other detention facilities.

The number of active cases continued to slide for the fifth consecutive day, helped by a record-high 5,718 discharges in a single day.

This would provide much-needed relief for the strained healthcare system.

However, it must be noted that the Health Ministry had reduced testing on Jan 13, especially for asymptomatic close contacts.

Nevertheless, Health Ministry director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah today assured that the level of testing in Malaysia was still adequate.

  • Active cases: 44,129
  • Patients in ICU: 253
  • Intubated: 118

Cases in Selangor were back to four-digit figures with 1,300 cases reported, while Sabah recorded 132 after dipping into the double-digits yesterday for the first time in months.

The number of cases was also high in Johor, which reported 451 today compared to 269 yesterday.

Cases in Johor were mainly driven by four newly identified clusters, three of which involved factories. Together, the four clusters accounted for 70.1 percent of cases in the state.

Similarly, a newly identified construction site cluster in Kuala Lumpur accounted for most of the new Covid-19 cases there.

Perlis – which is the only state to be under the recovery movement control order beginning Feb 19 – reported no cases for the third consecutive day.

Deaths

Another eight people succumbed to the virus, bringing the death toll to 983.

Three of the deaths occurred in Kuala Lumpur, two in Selangor; while Sarawak, Sabah, and Negeri Sembilan each recorded one death.

The oldest of the deceased were two 86-year-olds – a female with diabetes and high blood pressure who died at Keningau Hospital, Sabah, and a male with chronic lung disease who died at Tuanku Jaafar Hospital, Seremban. 

The youngest was a 47-year-old male with no history of chronic illness who died at Kuala Lumpur Hospital. He was the only non-citizen among Covid-19 deaths reported today.https://e.infogram.com/c8a28e8e-d511-48c1-bc1b-3eec0f7c699a?src=embed

Covid-19 (Feb 15): 2,176 new cases, lowest since Jan 5

Categories:

The country reported 2,176 new cases of Covid-19 as of noon today.

Of these, 1,618 were Malaysians and 557 were non-citizens.

It’s the lowest number of daily cases since Jan 5 when 2,027 new cases were recorded.

It should be noted that the government stopped testing asymptomatic patients since Jan 11 due to the high caseload. 

However, there were indications that things were improving with the number of intensive care unit (ICU) patients remaining stable at 260, down from a peak of 319 on Jan 30.

The Health Ministry also reported 4,521 recoveries, helping to bring the number of active cases to the lowest level since Jan 29.

The lower number of active cases will give some breathing space to the health system which had been under strain.

  • Active cases: 47,135
  • Patients in ICU: 260
  • Intubated: 112

New daily cases in Sabah dipped under 100 for the first time since September last year when the third Covid-19 wave just started.

In Selangor, it also dropped under four-figures for the first time since Jan 24.

However, Negeri Sembilan and Sarawak saw a spike, both seeing the highest number of cases in around two weeks.

Deaths

Another 10 people succumbed to the virus, bringing the death toll to 975.

Half of today’s deaths were from Selangor while the remaining were in Kuala Lumpur (2), Johor (1), Perak (1) and Sabah (1). All of them were Malaysians.
