SPH Media breach exposed data from 9% of database in Singapore
What's new: The company linked five intrusions to one threat actor and said the attacks may have been AI-enabled.
SPH Media said cyberattacks on five of its systems exposed data tied to 9% of its database, mostly email addresses along with some names, mailing addresses and phone numbers. The Singapore media company said no payment card details, banking information or customer account access were compromised, and its news sites and subscription services were not affected. It detected the first incident on Nov. 4 and the latest on Nov. 8, describing the breaches as a coordinated effort by the same threat actor. SPH Media said preliminary findings suggest the intrusions could have been AI-enabled. It has reported the case to the Personal Data Protection Commission, Cyber Security Agency of Singapore, the Infocomm Media Development Authority and police.
