Singapore says cyber espionage group targeted telco infrastructure

SINGAPORE: Singapore’s four telecom companies, Singtel, StarHub, M1 and Simba Telecom, were targeted by ⁠cyber espionage group UNC3886 in attacks last year, Singapore’s Cyber Security Agency said on Monday.

The agency said the hackers were able to penetrate ‌and gain access ‌to some parts of the telecom systems, but could not disrupt services and ‌did not access personal data.

“They also managed to exfiltrate a small amount of technical data; this is believed to be primarily network-related data to advance the threat actors’ operational objectives,” the agency said.
