Sg: App managing student devices in 127 schools hacked; names and e-mail addresses leaked: MOE

Posted on April 20, 2024 by Dissent

Lok Jian Wen reports:

The names and e-mail addresses of parents and teachers of 127 primary and secondary schools were leaked after a mobile platform on students’ personal learning devices was hacked, said the Ministry of Education (MOE) on April 19.

The Mobile Guardian app, which is installed on personal learning devices including Chromebook laptops and Apple’s iPad tablets, helps parents manage their children’s device use and restrict specific websites, apps and screen time.

Mobile Guardian’s user management portal was compromised at its headquarters by an incident of unauthorised access, which led to the leak of names and e-mail addresses of parents and teachers from five primary schools and 122 secondary schools, said MOE in a statement on its website. The figure means around a third of all primary and secondary schools in Singapore were affected by this leak.
