Data of Singapore luxury resort customters hacked
Hanoi (VNA) – The Singaporean intergrated resort operator Marina Bay
Sands (MBS) announced on November 7 that a recent cyberattack has affected
personal data of 650,000 members of its Sands LifeStyle rewards programme.
MBS’s chief operating officer Paul Town said the
investigations have found that an unidentified third party accessed the data on
October 19-20, including customers' names, email addresses, mobile numbers, countries
of residence and their membership numbers and tiers.
He said the
company did not have evidence to date that the unauthorised third party has
misused the data to cause harm to customers, adding that it does not believe that membership data from the rewards
programme was affected. At present, it is working with a leading external
cybersecurity firm to strengthen its system and protect data.
It is the latest cyberattack in a series of major
cybersecurity incidents recorded in the island state./.
