SINGAPORE: About 140,000 work pass holder records were compromised in the cybersecurity incident involving Fullerton Health's Migrant Worker Primary Care Plan (PCP) programme that was first disclosed earlier this week, the healthcare provider said on Saturday (Nov 14).

Of those, about 43,000 records belonged to individuals whose work passes were no longer valid, Fullerton Health said in response to CNA queries.

“No health, medical or personal financial information was compromised in the incident,” it said.

Fullerton Health had said in a Nov 9 notice on its website that it became aware of the breach on Oct 31, without disclosing the number of workers affected at the time.

Preliminary investigations showed that migrant workers' full names, foreign identification numbers, dates of birth, mobile numbers, email addresses and residential addresses may have been affected.
