SINGAPORE – Incidents of data leaks within the public sector rose by 10 per cent to 201 cases in 2023, likely due to the increase in digital services, said the Ministry of Digital Development and Information on July 30.
This is partly due to a progressive roll-out of security measures and more awareness on data security within the public sector, said MDDI. The committee was formed in 2019 after a spate of high-profile cyber-security breaches, including Singapore’s worst data breach involving 1.5 million SingHealth patients’ data in June 2018.
Since March, government user accounts that are no longer needed are automatically removed as part of a Central Accounts Management system, built to reduce the risk of unauthorised access by former officers or exploitation by malicious actors.
