Singapore says hackers stole 1.5 million health records in massive cyberattack

A North Korean hacking group has infiltrated more than 16 organisations in 11 countries including the United States, and stolen more than US$100mil (RM416mil).

SINGAPORE: Hackers have stolen the health records of 1.5 million Singaporeans including Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, authorities said Friday, with the leader specifically targeted in the city-state’s biggest ever data breach.

Singapore’s health and information ministries said a government database was broken into in a “deliberate, targeted and well-planned” strike, describing the attack as “unprecedented”.
