QUESTION FOR ORAL ANSWER

*1. Mr Yip Hon Weng: To ask the Minister for Communications and Information given the recent security breaches of several foreign government computer systems (a) whether the Ministry has detected similar attacks on our Government computer systems over the past three years; and (b) how does the Ministry respond to cyber acts by state-sponsored actors.

Answer:

  1. There were recent reports that a Chinese cybersecurity firm, I-Soon, had allegedly compromised nearly twenty foreign governments. Singapore was not listed as an affected country.

  2. The Cyber Security Agency (CSA) and GovTech work with our security agencies to monitor threats and respond to any cyberattack on our critical computer systems. Given their sensitive nature, we are unable to publicly discuss such operations and responses.
