The vendor has advised customers that the August 4 attack 'resulted in a small percentage of devices to be unenrolled from Mobile Guardian,' which somehow led to remote wiping. Customers in Europe and North America are also at risk.
Singapore's Education Ministry, which became a Mobile Guardian customer in 2020, revealed on Monday that some 13,000 school students' devices were wiped. The Ministry subsequently ordered the removal of Mobile Guardian's software from its devices.
In April, another unauthorized access incident saw names and email addresses of parents and school staff from 127 Singaporean schools exposed.
Both MoE and Mobile Guardian have confirmed the latest cyber attack is unrelated to the configuration error incident. But whatever went wrong this time is serious enough.
