Fullerton Health discovered unauthorised access to an isolated server dedicated to the Ministry of Manpower's Migrant Worker Primary Care Plan programme on Oct 31. Preliminary findings indicate the exposed data encompasses full names, FIN numbers, contact information, and addresses, without affecting medical records. The provider has contacted the police, data privacy authorities, and affected individuals, while keeping all core facilities fully operational. This breach contributes to a growing wave of local digital security issues that recently affected SATS, SPH Media, and Doctor Anywhere.
