Singapore's Telecom Sector Targeted by China-Backed Cyberattack Group UNC3886
Singapore's telecommunications sector was targeted by a China-backed cyber-espionage group known as UNC3886. The attack, which was confirmed by Singapore's government, involved the country's four largest telecom companies: Singtel, StarHub, M1, and Simba Telecom. The hackers used advanced tools, including rootkits and zero-day exploits, to gain limited access to critical systems. However, they did not disrupt services or access personal information. The Singapore government, through Operation Cyber Guardian, successfully mitigated the threat, marking the largest anti-cyber threat initiative in the country's history.
