SPH Media hit by cyberattacks; says no customer financial data or access exposed
The cyberattacks were believed to be a concerted effort by the same threat actor, an SPH Media spokesperson said.
SPH Media has reported being targeted by a series of cyberattacks on five of its systems, though they have assured that no customer financial information or account access was compromised. The attacks, believed to be carried out by the same threat actor, affected two sets of systems; one with some personal data and another without.
The compromised data includes email addresses, names, mailing addresses, and phone numbers, accounting for 9% of the company's database. No payment card details, financial or banking information, or customer account access were affected. SPH Media has taken immediate action to secure the affected systems, engaged external cybersecurity experts, and reported the incident to relevant authorities, including the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC), Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA), Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), and the police.
