AsiaOne reports:
A spate of cybersecurity incidents involving unauthorised access has been reported over the past two weeks, including those affecting systems of healthcare and healthcare-related entities.
Those affected include Alliance Medinet, Doctor Anywhere Group, Fullerton Health Group, Minmed Group and Dementia Singapore’s CARA mobile application.
In a Nov 12 statement on these recent incidents, the Ministry of Health (MOH) revealed that the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC)’s Advance Care Planning IT system was also compromised.
“MOH is taking these incidents very seriously,” the ministry said.
It noted that these breaches have not disrupted patient care operations and that there is no evidence thus far to suggest that patient safety and care have been compromised.
They do not seem to be implementing any new regulations or requirements, however, but rather are urging all entities to be vigilant, increase monitoring to detect any attacks, and to strengthen their security.
