09:10 Min

Following the disclosure of PHP2Shell vulnerabilities in software systems, GovTech and the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) acted swiftly to secure government and critical information infrastructure systems, with no evidence of exploitation detected across government systems, including those maintained by third parties. Senior Minister of State for Digital Development and Information Tan Kiat How said this in parliament on Wednesday (Nov 4) in reply to an MP’s questions. He added that because AI is accelerating the speed and scale of cyberattacks, the government will continue to assess if established requirements for managing vulnerabilities are sufficient. He advised organisations to actively monitor for compromise and to refer to CSA's resources for guidance.
