Marina Bay Sands fined S$315,000 for 2023 data breach exposing 665,000 guests’ data due to poor security.
Marina Bay Sands was fined S$315,000 by Singapore’s PDPC for a 2023 data breach exposing over 665,000 patrons’ personal information, including names, emails, and phone numbers.
The breach occurred during a software migration when a critical API identifier was omitted, allowing unauthorized access and data theft later found on the dark web.
The PDPC found the company failed to implement adequate security measures, relying on a single employee to manually manage configurations without oversight.
The breach went undetected for six months, though MBS voluntarily admitted liability and restored security promptly.
The fine reflects Singapore’s updated data protection rules allowing penalties up to 10% of annual turnover.
