The personal details of some 40,000 job applicants have been leaked online, following a cyber attack on an employment agency here. Protemps Employment Services, which has an office at Paya Lebar Square, had its entire server swiped and deleted earlier this month. The personal details of about 40,000 people who submitted job applications to the company have since been uploaded online. The details include scans of their identity cards or passports, their phone numbers, salaries, jobs and home addresses. Most of the job seekers appeared to be Singaporean. The hackers, known as Desorden Group, said they were behind the attack on Oct 4, boasting about their heist on hacking forums on Oct 7. They made a video showing the stolen files and databases, with a message to Protemps, saying they had stolen all the files from the server and had wiped it clean. It also came with a warning for Protemps to "think carefully". The video is believed to have been sent to Protemps along with a ransom note. On Oct 14, Desorden Group uploaded the entire database online, making it accessible for the price of €2.10 (S$3.30). https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/courts-crime/spore-employment-agency-hacked-ic-scans-and-salaries-of-40000-job-seekershttps://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/courts-crime/spore-employment-agency-hacked-ic-scans-and-salaries-of-40000-job-seekers 😱😱😱
