For him, any organization that falls victim to a cyberattack, is just a victim. Kamal Brar, Vice President and General Manager, Asia Pacific and Japan at Rubrik shared his views on the data breach with Tech Wire Asia. The medical service provider discovered the breach shortly before informing Agape on Oct 19. Agape was engaged as a vendor to handle bookings by Fullerton Health customers. Reports show that the breach was of a server used by Agape Connecting People, a social enterprise that provides contact center services. Singapore media also reported that the data uploaded included customer names, identity card numbers, information about bank accounts, employers, and medical history as well as the personal details of the customers’ children. The hackers claimed they managed to steal the data of some 400,000 people, including the insurance policy details of many Singaporeans. Hackers have since removed the data sale set, indicating someone may have bought it, or to avoid the authorities. The Straits Times reported that the data was put up for sale on hacking forums from Oct 11 and could be bought for US$600 in Bitcoin. This time, personal details of Fullerton Health customers, a leading integrated healthcare platform provider, was stolen by hackers and hawked online - after a vendor of the private healthcare group suffered a breach earlier this month. Cisco’s Cybersecurity for SMBs: Asia Pacific Businesses Prepare for Digital Defense study showed that two in five Singaporean SMEs have suffered a cyber incident in the past year, with more than half (56%) of these incidents seeing customers lose information to the hands of malicious actors.Īnd just as predicted, the Singapore healthcare industry has suffered another breach. Several security vendors have warned that organizations in the region particularly in Singapore are at imminent threat of cyberattacks, especially with many organizations still not implementing enough cyber security protection, as well as not updating their solutions as much as they should.
