Whitefly Behind Singapore Cyberattack
Return To ArticleSingapore’s worst cyberattack, which stole personal information regarding 1.5 million people, including the prime minister, from a health database, was the work of a state-sponsored espionage group called Whitefly, Symantec Corp said on Wednesday.
Authorities in the wealthy city state have said the attack, which they believed was state-linked, illegally accessed and copied the non-medical personal details of visitors to clinics between May 2015 and July 4, 2018, including those of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong.
