SINGAPORE - The credentials from several government agencies and educational institutions, as well as more than 19,000 compromised payment cards from banks here, have been discovered to have been put up for sale online by hackers.
A Smart Nation and Digital Government Group spokesman told The Straits Times that GovTech was alerted to the presence of e-mail credentials in illegal data banks in January this year. He added that the credentials were leaked not from government systems, but from the use of these government e-mail addresses for the officers' personal and non-official purposes.
"Users' accounts from government resources are either sold on underground forums or used in targeted attacks on government agencies for the purpose of espionage or sabotage," he said. The discovery comes after a string of breaches and cyber attacks both in the public and private sector.
