Insecure Database Exposes 800,000 Singapore Blood Donors

Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) received the initial report on March 13 from the security expert who discovered the unsecured database. The database contained the personal information of 808,201 blood donors who registered to donate since 1986 in Singapore. The only individual who accessed the passwordless database was the expert who reported the incident during the time it was exposed to public Internet access. The HSA CEO Mimi Choong apologized for SSG’s security slip and that the authority will also increase vendor checks from now on.
