Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) said in an announcement on Tuesday that it had “imposed a financial penalty of SGD315,000 on integrated resort operator Marina Bay Sands Pte Ltd for breaching the protection obligation” under the city-state’s Personal Data Protection Act.
The fine related to an incident that occurred in March 2023 during a large-scale software migration exercise but was only discovered in October that year.
