There is no reason to believe that Singapore was a target of the recent high-profile hacking attack involving cyber-security company FireEye and software provider SolarWinds Corp, the authorities said late on Tuesday.
Even so, the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) said that it sent out an advisory on Dec 9 for companies to disconnect affected cyber-security tools and update systems to protect against cyber criminals.
