The National University of Singapore was named in a list of organisations allegedly hit by a global data breach seen online on May 8. A number of local institutions, including the National University of Singapore and the Singapore Institute of Management (SIM), have been named in a list of organisations allegedly hit by a global data breach seen online on May 8.
The Singapore College of Insurance, the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA), NTUC LearningHub, The Learning Lab, KLC International Institute and The Learning Space SG were also listed. Thousands of institutions, including Harvard University and Stanford University, were hit by a massive cyberattack on May 7, following an earlier data breach. The attack, which blocked access to the Canvas learning platform, was claimed by ShinyHunters, a well-known cyberextortion group active since at least 2019.
In a message allegedly sent by ShinyHunters and seen on forum platform Reddit, the affected institutions are threatened with the release of stolen data. The institutions are given a deadline of May 12 before “everything is leaked”. Instructure, the US-based education technology company behind the Canvas system, confirmed on May 2 that it had suffered a cyberattack.
The Singapore College of Insurance said its systems are unaffected and that it is not aware of any data compromise involving it or its students. The Singapore Institute of Management (SIM) said it is closely monitoring the disruption affecting access to the Canvas learning platform together with Instructure, which is working to restore services as soon as possible. In the meantime, alternative arrangements will be implemented for affected students
