For now, however, SingHealth and two other providers of healthcare services have had to respond by disconnecting all workstation computers from the internet by way of precaution. Various e-health projects have, moreover, been suspended for the time being, until the full story behind <a href=\"https:\/\/www.straitstimes.com\/singapore\/pm-lee-and-other-ministers-among-15-million-patients-whose-records-were-stolen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\">the SingHealth hack<\/a> has been cleared up and additional security checks have successfully been passed.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/graphics.straitstimes.com\/STI\/STIMEDIA\/Interactives\/2018\/07\/sg-cyber-breach\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\">attack on SingHealth<\/a> was carried out so professionally that the government is now assuming that the attacks were state sponsored according to a press statement. Among other things, the statement goes on to say, the attackers repeatedly targeted their efforts on attaining the health details and prescription of medication of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who has already survived two cases of cancer.<\/p>\n<p>The data thieves gained access to SingHealth\u2019s network through a carefully selected \u201cfront-end workstation\u201d. From there, they managed to get hold of log-in details with a high degree of access rights for the patient database. Whether the malware was sneaked onto the workstation by means of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.retarus.com\/services\/email-security\/\">email<\/a> or some other vector of attack requiring physical access is as yet unknown.<\/p>\n<p>More than 700,000 of those affected, for whom SingHealth has mobile phone numbers, were informed of the data theft without delay <a href=\"https:\/\/www.retarus.com\/services\/sms\/\">by means of SMS<\/a> (there were also a few misdirected messages). Clients were also given the opportunity to check for themselves via an app and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.singhealth.com.sg\/about-singhealth\/data-security-check\">a website set up by the company itself<\/a>, whether and to which extent they were affected by the data heist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs Singapore embraces the digital revolution, security breaches are bound to happen. Our growing digital footprint is growing every day, and enterprises need to take strict measures to safeguard and protect their data,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rappler.com\/world\/asia-pacific\/singapore-cyberattack-state-actor-involved\">local website Rappler quotes<\/a> Shahnawaz Backer, a local security specialist with F5 Networks, as saying in a report from the French news agency AFP.<\/p>\n<p>Eric Hoh of FireEye took the same line <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2018\/07\/20\/asia\/singapore-hack-intl\/index.html\">in a statement given to CNN<\/a>. \u201cMany businesses and governments in Southeast Asia face cyber threats, but few recognize the scale of the risks they pose.\u201d It is crucial that companies and authorities work together to ensure their mutual security, so that in case of an attack the consequences can be kept as minor as possible. Singapore is a cyber security leader, Hoh goes on to say. \u201cWe would like to see more governments follow their lead in disclosing breaches\u201d, he wrote in a statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The personal data of roughly 1.5 million patients has recently been stolen from healthcare services provider SingHealth, and around 160,000 of those impacted also had details of their outpatient prescriptions pinched.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":2790,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8,15],"tags":[102,1137],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.5 (Yoast SEO v22.5) -
