Singapore Land Authority Data Breach Exposes 70,000 Records via IBM Testing Environment
Personal data belonging to about 70,000 individuals has been compromised in a cybersecurity incident involving the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) and a cloud environment managed by IBM. The breach stemmed from unauthorized access to a dataset created for vendor development and systems integration testing, which was intended to contain only mock and anonymized data. However, it was found to contain names, NRIC (National Registration Identity Card) numbers, and property addresses. IBM has revoked access, and SLA is notifying affected individuals and investigating with government agencies.
