SINGAPORE: The company announced on Monday ( Mar 3 ) that some of HomeTeamNS servers had been the victim of a ransomware attack.
On February 25, the assault was discovered.
HomeTeamNS reported that the affected machines, which included data of employees and ex-employees, as well as the car details of some members and affiliates members, were soon disabled and removed from its IT community.
There is no proof of data removal at this time, but the company is closely monitoring, it continued.
The National Service Members of the Singapore Police Force ( SPF ) and Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) have established a non-profit organization called HomeTeamNS.
To look into and correct the tragedy, third-party security professionals have been sought out. HomeTeamNS stated that it is cooperating with the government.
The passwords for all of our administrative records have been changed, and safety scans and routers have been strengthened further to improve networking safety, the statement read.
HomeTeamNS said it has spoken with those who have been affected to help them with hacking or illegal transactions and minimizing the impact of this event.
HomeTeamNS believes that HomeTeamNS is putting the most value on the protection of the personal information of its stakeholders.
” We are working closely with our security experts, the officers, and the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore to look into and resolve this affair.”
In ransomware assaults, threat actors generally encrypt files on servers with malicious software before demanding a payment in exchange for these files being unlocked.
