Minmed Group hit by cyberattack affecting telehealth platforms

Minmed Group confirmed on Monday that it had fallen victim to a cybersecurity incident affecting its digital health platforms, including teleconsultation and health screening services. The company did not immediately disclose details about the scope of the breach or the number of affected users.

The attack on Minmed follows similar incidents reported by two other major healthcare providers in the past seven days. Fullerton Health and Doctor Anywhere each disclosed cyberattacks against their systems, raising concerns about the vulnerability of Singapore's digital healthcare infrastructure.

Cyberattacks targeting healthcare providers have intensified across Asia in recent months, with patient data and personal health information among the most sought-after targets for malicious actors. The incidents underscore the critical importance of robust cybersecurity measures in the healthcare sector, where system breaches can potentially compromise sensitive medical records and patient privacy.

Minmed has not yet released a comprehensive statement regarding remediation efforts or whether patient data was accessed or exfiltrated during the breach. The company typically manages a range of occupational health and wellness services across Singapore and the region. Authorities have not yet commented on the incidents.
