The recent attacks has caused great distrust in SingHealth. Many patients are now more wary of giving out any personal information to them in fear of their information being accessed illegally. The recent attacks have resulted in the breach of critical information. Even the slightest alteration of their medical records may result in fatal consequences due to wrong issuing of medication. In the long term, this may perhaps result in refusal of patients to cooperate with SingHealth.

The cyber attack is a timely reminder that the threat of Singapore being attacked is very real. It is a reminder that even though people feel that we have quite a strong defense againt cyber attacks, we have to remain alert as growing threats emerge. The fact that the hackers succeedes in accessing our information shows the vulnerability of the system. Most people feel that the attack was not critical as they didn't think that the information stolen can do much harm. However, if they were to strike again with improved methods, they could steal more critical information. For example, they could edit medical information of patients, thus leading to wrong diagnosis and distribution of medicine, which may be fatal. Furthermore, these information that are stolen may be sold on blackmmarkets, where one's information could be used in harmful ways. Eg. Registering a weapon under their name, registering a bank account to launder money.

Cyber attacks are a reminder to everyone that no matter what, we are not as safe as we feel we are. Especially in Singapore, we are a nation that is technologically very advanced. I think that businesses will definitely be very affected and spread futher than just the organisation, Employees will fear for their personal information of their family, and business vendors and partners will worry if their involvement has led them to be affected. Thus, I think that the government should be vigilant on the lookout for such cyber attacks.

In this advanced society that we live in, cyberattacks affect greatly throughout the world. It is no doubt that all of us should be aware and be prepared for these attacks that might come to us anytime. People these days are equipped with the latest gadets and therefore would post anything and everything on social media to boast or to share. Henceforth, their personal information will also be posted online but can only be seen by ‘ themselves ‘ when in reality, anyone who can access their accounts can also view on their personal information illegally. As such, we should be careful on what we post and wish to add on online to avoid having to face such cyberattacks that can leak our personal information.

The attacks are constantly widening the gaps between hostile countries such as Islam as the attacks lay a sense of unease and distrust amongst the world leaders.
By doing so, diplomatic efforts will be less or have no effectiveness and countries will shift more of their resources towards conflict based assets. The cyber attacks signify a vulnerability and bring it to light which will usher a new type of warfare which has the potential to crush economies and societies whole.

Individuals and businesses can suffer significant financial loss because of cyber crime with the most obvious impact being theft. In addition, reputational damage can also be a significant factor following cyber crime. Alternatively, the attack may be opportunistic, because cyber criminals have found vulnerabilities they can exploit. Thanks to the sharing culture on social media, it has become as easy to be fall prey to a cyber crime. Sometimes, emails from your bank might seduce you into clicking on infected links or attachments containing malware, which have the effect of compromising online banking transactions.

Technology is constantly changing. The popularity of cutting-edge platforms that connect individuals and allow them to share and store data is increasing – daily. No one is immune to online security threats. As attackers employ innovative techniques and exploit new vulnerabilities, the demand for increased protection grows.With the convergence of IT and OT worlds, hackers can now reach industrial systems such as automated processes and more. As a result, our health and safety are put at risk. For instance, in the transport sector, cyberattackers can infiltrate the control systems to shut off lighting in a tunnel or interfere with the running of traffic signals. Back in 2006 during a strike in Los Angeles, disgruntled employees connected to the city’s network from their homes and caused traffic jams over several days just by reprogramming four traffic lights! This puts the lives of many innocent people at risk. People could have died from that particular stunt. Therefore an obvious impact that those people faced is the endangering of their lives.This in turn impacts one financially as well. While it may not be a direct impact, a victim of this incident will have to pay for his hospital bills, and the price is definitely not cheap!

the cyber attack can cause an economic decline in countries. Businesses that were attacked will face economic loss as they will lose customers. Customers informations may also be stolen for eg bank card information. This will cause the customers to lose their trust in that company.
Countries may also stop investing in our country and hence the country will face an economic decline

These attacks further strains relationship between countries and create conflicts. Friends of the countries that are involved, are also included in the conflict. For example, singapore and us. Due to past history or knowledge that Iran is active with terrorists, it is most likely targeted to Iran. Hence, false accusations can be carried out. It affects our community as citizens may feel unsafe and doubt SG’s security. Internet working may also be slow and cause inconveniences to citizens 😃

Singapore is one of the most developed and technologicallly advanced countries. Hence this should serve as a reminder for the Singapore government that we still have weak spots we need to work on.
Yes this may not be as serious as we think it is, but we should also consider the fact that thousands of patients’ information got hacked and yet we still can’t track down the origin of the source. This may just be part of a big plan to bring down Singapore from a terrorist organization.
Furthermore, most victims were the pioneers. If their personal informations were being altered, even more severe consequences would arise. Not only that, much more inconvenience will arise and affect everyone islandwide. On a deeper level, it is possible that it already affected the country’s economical and political stability. These types of hacks not only endanger individuals but also the whole country in general.
Singapore is an advanced country with proper equipment and tools to handle such situation, and in this fast paced society we should not let our guard down and always stay vigilant so to move forward as a “smart nation”

Singapore is a small nation with an increasing aging population. Hence there are more elderly and less people who can deal with technology-based attacks, meaning we are more vulnerable to cyber attacks. Cyber attacks targets the general public or nation meaning everyone is affected. If everyone is not able to keep up with the times and be tech savvy, the chances of us being cyber attacked is higher. More action needs to be taken by the Government to educate people to be familiar with technology and how to react when a cyber attack occurs. Cyber attacks such as the recent SingHealth cyber attack serve as a reminder to us that even national organisations are prone to cyber attacks and not everything is safe from hackers. As a smart nation, we should not only aim for progress but also to work our existing flaws and improve on it.

A successful cyber attack can cause major damage to one’s business. It can affect his bottom line, as well as his business' standing and consumer trust. For instance, cyber attacks may lead to affecting one’s business reputation. In certain cases, it erodes the trust the customers had for that particular business. This, in turn, could potentially lead to the loss of customers, loss of sales and a dramatic decrease in profits.  Additionally, the effects of this drop in business reputation may even impact suppliers or affect relationships with other business partners or investors.

In order to become a “smart nation”,Singapore needs to be technologically advanced in keeping the systems in Singapore safe.Without a good security system,hackers can use other people’s identities for other uses.Wih regards to the recent SingHealth attack,medical records of the people are accessed and their personal information of the people are illegally used by hackers for other purposes.With the wrong medical records,it causes it to not be compromised and the wrong medications and medical issues can be diagnosed.On individuals,Singapore’s security system will not seem reliable nor trustable.

The cyberattack should be a reflection for all Singaporeans that we should stay vigilant and keep a look out for threats at all time . The government should spend more money to improve the security of our systems in order to ensure that such cyberattack will not occur again .
