SINGAPORE: Authorities are investigating a cybersecurity incident involving Shanghai Tunnel Engineering Co (Singapore), a contractor involved in works on the Jurong Region Line and Changi NEWater Factory 3.
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) told CNA on Monday (Apr 27) that as a precautionary measure, it has temporarily suspended the company’s access to its digital systems.
“There is no impact to the ongoing construction of the MRT line,” said LTA, without elaborating on the nature of the data involved.
Nevertheless, LTA said it has reported the incident “to the police and relevant regulatory authorities”.
National water agency PUB said separately that no sensitive data on Changi NEWater Factory 3 was impacted.
“The data that was compromised consisted of project tender documents, which are publicly available on the government procurement portal GeBIZ,” PUB said, adding that Shanghai Tunnel Engineering Co (Singapore) has no access to the water agency’s digital systems.
