Ensure that MPs’ email usage is secure

The digital age has brought many benefits, but these can be reaped only if cyber security measures are implemented (“Businesses must make their own call on cyber security”; Aug 2).

Such measures are especially important in email usage, where attacks have been noted globally.

The Singapore Government Directory shows that some Members of Parliament could be using potentially insecure email accounts for working purposes, as evidenced by the domain names gmail.com, outlook.com, live.com and yahoo.com.

Information breaches could affect our state’s well-being. It would be prudent to firstly investigate whether any may have occurred, secondly provide cyber security education and thirdly help with a transition to more secure email services if needed.
