MOE Singapore to remove Mobile Guardian app from students' devices after hacking incident
Preliminary checks showed that about 13,000 students from 26 secondary schools in Singapore had their devices wiped remotely by a hacker, said the Ministry of Education on Monday (Aug 5).
In a media statement on Monday (Aug 5), MOE said it was alerted by schools late Sunday night that some students who use iPads or Chromebooks as personal learning devices could not access their applications and information stored in them. MOE said through Mobile Guardian's investigations, it found that there had been a "global cybersecurity incident" involving unauthorised access to its platform, which affected customers, including those in Singapore. MOE noted that Sunday's incident was not related to earlier technical issues students faced at the end of July due to a human error in configuration by Mobile Guardian.
