- Singapore Telecommunications Ltd unit Dialog faced a cyber attack on October 10 that potentially affected 1,000 current and former employees and fewer than 20 clients.
- Singtel first detected the attack on Australia-based IT firm Dialog on September 10.
- Dialog’s systems were completely independent of Optus and IT unit NCS, and there was no evidence of any link between the incidents of data breaches at Dialog and Optus.
- Last week, Dialog realized “a very small sample” of its data, including some employee personal information, had been published on the dark web.
- In September, the breach at Optus, Australia’s second-largest mobile operator, compromised the data of up to 10 million customers, Reuters reported.
- The Optus attack triggered an overhaul of consumer privacy rules to facilitate targeted data sharing between telecommunication firms and banks.
- Recently, Uber Technologies, Inc (NYSE:UBER) held the Lapsus$ group responsible for its recent hack. The breach forced Uber to shut down some internal systems temporarily.
- Lapsus$ was held responsible for the hacks of Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ: MSFT), Samsung Electronics Co, Ltd (OTC: SSNLF), Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ: NVDA), and Okta Inc (NASDAQ: OKTA).
