  "account": "Singapore migrant workers may have had their identification numbers, home addresses, and other personal data stolen in a cyberattack on healthcare provider Fullerton Health. The extent of the breach remains unclear, as the company has not disclosed how many workers may have been affected. The compromised information includes workers' names, Foreign Identification Numbers (FIN), dates of birth, mobile phone numbers, email addresses, and residential addresses. Fullerton Health discovered the unauthorized access on October 31 and has since activated its cybersecurity response procedures, including enhanced security measures and ongoing investigations. Singapore's Personal Data Protection Commission, police, and the Ministry of Manpower have been informed of the incident. The company emphasized that medical records, health information, and personal financial details were not compromised. The breach occurred within a server that supports Fullerton Health's Migrant Worker Primary Care Plan, a healthcare scheme for foreign workers. The PCP scheme provides affordable primary healthcare to eligible migrant workers, with employers required to cover certain work permit and S Pass holders. Fullerton Health assured affected workers that its healthcare facilities and managed care services remained operational. The company is contacting affected individuals and offering guidance on precautionary measures, acknowledging that some may require additional assistance understanding the implications of the breach.",
