SPH Media says it has been hit by cyberattacks and is investigating the incident, after identifying compromises affecting some of its systems. The company states that customer financial information was not exposed, and it says no payment card details were compromised.
Across outlets, SPH Media’s assurances focus on what customers’ data was not affected. Free Malaysia Today and The Straits Times both emphasize the absence of credit card and other financial or banking information. Channel NewsAsia adds that the attacks are believed to be linked—part of a concerted effort by the same threat actor—and reports this as coming from an SPH Media spokesperson.
The reporting also differs in emphasis and timing: The Straits Times specifies that SPH Media identified the cyberattacks on five systems on Nov 10, while the other summaries focus more broadly on the exposure claims. Overall, all sources present the same core point: the company reports an attack but says sensitive customer financial data and access were not compromised.
