Investigations are still ongoing but this incident serves as a reminder to all organisations to scrutinise their vendors and other third-party business partners closely.
DBS Bank and Bank of China's Singapore branch disclosed this week that some customer information was potentially compromised after a ransomware attack on their printing vendor, Toppan Next Tech (TNT).
The exposed data includes customer names, addresses, details of DBS Vickers equities and cashline loans, and some BOC loan account numbers. DBS assured that its core IT systems were unaffected and customer deposits remain secure.
