SINGAPORE: The Singapore Red Cross said May 16 its website had been hacked and the personal data of more than 4,000 potential blood donors compromised in the latest cyberattack on the city-state. 

Singapore, one of the world’s most digitally advanced countries, has been the target of multiple high-profile hacks in recent times, including the theft last year of 1.5 million citizens’ health records.
