SYDNEY - A second Australian business owned by Singapore Telecommunications suffered a cyberattack, compounding the data-security crisis at the company following the huge data breach at mobile-phone operator Optus.
Dialog found out on Oct 7 that a"very small sample" of its data, including personal employee information, had been published on the so-called Dark Web. The attack itself took place almost a month earlier, on Sept 10. More than 2 million people had identity document numbers compromised, triggering concerns about widespread financial fraud.Dialog's systems are completely independent from those of SingTel, NCS and Optus, and there is no evidence that the two recent incidents are linked, SingTel said.
