SPH Media said it detected and responded to a series of cyberattacks that were believed to be part of a concerted campaign by the same actor. The company's security team moved swiftly to contain the threat and prevent any unauthorised access to sensitive systems.
In a statement, an SPH Media spokesperson confirmed that customer financial data remained secure and that no unauthorised access to company systems had occurred. The company did not disclose specific details about the nature of the attacks or the methods used by the threat actor.
The disclosure comes amid growing concerns over cybersecurity threats targeting major institutions in the region. SPH Media, one of Singapore's largest media conglomerates, operates multiple news and entertainment platforms serving audiences across the island.
The company said it is continuing to investigate the incidents and is working with relevant authorities and cybersecurity experts to strengthen its defences. SPH Media has not indicated whether customer personal data unrelated to financial information may have been affected by the attacks.
