StarHub says personal data of its customers, including email addresses and mobile numbers, have been found on a dump site. The Singapore telco, however, insists none of its customer database or data systems have been breached.
The data breach was discovered during a “proactive online surveillance” on July 6 by its cybersecurity team, StarHub said in a statement late-Friday unveiling the breach.
On its website informing customers of the incident, the telco said it needed “time” to investigate the incident and assess the impact before confirming the breach publicly. The relevant authorities, however, were informed of the breach.
According to its statement to local media, StarHub said an illegally uploaded file containing the leaked data was found on a third-party data dump website. It added that the information appeared to date back to 2007.
