NUS caught in global data breach


A number of local institutions, including the National University of Singapore, have been named on a list of organisations allegedly hit by a global data breach.

The other two institutions are the Singapore College of Insu­rance and the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants.

Local media have contacted the three institutions for more information.

Thousands of institutions, including Harvard University and Stanford University, were hit by a massive cyberattack on May 7, following an earlier data breach.

The attack, which blocked access to the Canvas learning platform, was claimed by Shiny­Hunters, a well-known cyberextortion group active since at least 2019. — The Straits Times/ANN
