Full breach record for PeopleSearch

Regulator's decision — not a breach notification

This record is a regulator's decision, not the organisation's own breach notice. Breach-notification fields (discovery date, notification clock) are structurally absent — what this source establishes is the outcome and the provisions the decision cites.

A financial penalty of S$5,000 was imposed on PeopleSearch for failing to put in place reasonable security arrangements to protect personal data of its clients. The incident resulted in the data being subjected to a ransomware attack. Click here to find out more.

No linked breach filing · watching

Compliance clocks stay unassessable until a breach filing is linked. This record is the regulator's action, not a breach notice. Dashed segments fill in automatically when corroboration arrives.

Evidence ladder

Leak-site claim

Attacker assertion only. Establishes: claim date, group, alleged victim.

Press / market report

Unlocks: incident narrative, operational impact. Still no compliance clock.

State AG / regulator filingThis record

Unlocks: discovery date, data types, affected count, compliance clock.

SEC 8-K / victim statement

Unlocks: materiality, stated response, full audit trail. Ceiling removed.

Source ceiling

  • outcome + obligations
  • fine (SGD) and affected count where a grounds document states them
  • discovery date
  • notification clock
