SPH Media breach exposed data from 9% of database in Singapore
What's new: Regulators are investigating five linked intrusions detected between Nov. 4 and Nov. 8.
SPH Media was hit by cyberattacks on five systems that exposed data from about 9% of its database, the Singapore publisher said. The compromised information was mainly email addresses, along with some names, mailing addresses and phone numbers. SPH Media said no payment card details, banking data or subscriber account access were affected, and its news sites and subscription services continued to operate normally. The first intrusion was detected on Nov. 4 and the latest on Nov. 8. The company said the attacks appeared to be coordinated by the same threat actor and may have been AI-enabled, though investigations are ongoing. SPH Media has reported the incident to the PDPC, CSA, IMDA and police, while regulators investigate the cause.
