MOE to remove Mobile Guardian app following cyber breach

13,000 students’ applications and stored information were wiped out remotely.

MOE will remove the Mobile Guardian app from all iPads and Chromebooks after alerts of students being unable to access the app.

Based on Mobile Guardian’s preliminary checks, the incident, which happened on 4 August, led to 13,000 students from 26 secondary schools having their devices wiped remotely by an unnamed hacker.

There is currently no evidence that the perpetrator had accessed user files.

The MOE said efforts are underway to safely restore devices and they will deploy additional IT roving teams to schools.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
