When I received this sms, my first thought was, is this another spam message?

 

Why?  This is because, SingHealth did not use their own secure url and instead use a spamy shortcut url by https://bitly.com/ which can lead you to a hacker site if you click on it.

 

As usual, I will not click on such spamy link but instead google it and found that there really was a cyber attack at SingHealth and the hackers have steal personal data of PM Lee and 1.5 million patients of online data.

 

As a government agency, I expect SingHealth cyber knowledge to be better but their action does not show that.  Hope that all government agency who are storing confidential information of Singaporean will buck up after this hacking incident.
