Over 3,000 people's names, NRIC numbers leaked due to CEA's IT system error
The Straits Times
|January 27, 2025
The names and NRIC numbers of more than 3,000 individuals were sent to 18 unintended recipients on Jan 21 due to a "technical issue" in the information technology system of the Council for Estate Agencies (CEA).
In response to The Straits Times' queries, CEA said on Jan 26 that it discovered the data leak at 11.21am on Jan 22.
The incident resulted in the inadvertent disclosure of a set of data containing 3,320 names and NRIC numbers belonging to those who had previously registered for the March 2024 Real Estate Salesperson or April 2024 Real Estate Agency examinations.
"No contact information such as phone numbers or e-mail addresses were disclosed," said CEA, the statutory board that regulates and develops the real estate agency industry here.
