  "account": "Fullerton Health, a healthcare provider in Singapore, experienced a cybersecurity breach affecting its Migrant Worker Primary Care Plan programme. The incident, discovered on October 31st, may have compromised personal data of migrant workers, including their full names, foreign identification numbers, dates of birth, mobile numbers, email addresses, and residential addresses. The Ministry of Manpower administers the programme. Fullerton Health has not disclosed the exact number of affected workers. The breach, limited to a standalone system, did not impact other programmes, projects, clients, or patients. No health, medical, or financial information was involved. Fullerton Health promptly activated its incident response protocols, implemented security measures, and notified the Personal Data Protection Commission, police, and MOM. They are cooperating with authorities and will notify affected workers and provide guidance. The breach follows other recent data leaks involving telco M1, telehealth provider Doctor Anywhere, Singapore Airlines, and SATS.",
  "summary": "Personal information, including migrant workers' names, foreign identification numbers and mobile numbers, may have been affected, the healthcare provider said.",
