SPH Media breach of five systems exposes about 9% of customer database
Singapore's SPH Media detected cyber-attacks on five systems between 4 and 8 November 2026, with about 9% of its customer database exposed. The exposed data consisted mainly of email addresses, along with some names, postal addresses and telephone numbers, and also included employee email addresses, but financial information and customer account credentials were not affected. A combination of software bugs and system configuration issues contributed to the breach, and the company is investigating whether the same attacker used AI. The company investigated the breach with a specialist cyber security firm and strengthened its cyber defences.
