The Singaporean government-owned biz responsible for that country's patient database has fined senior executives, including the CEO, and dismissed two managers, after blunders allowed hackers to siphon off private records.

The punishments were meted out by Integrated Health Information Systems (IHiS), which run a patient record database for Singapore healthcare organization SingHealth, a database system that was hacked in 2018. Miscreants gained access to the network, and stole 1.5 million citizens' health records, including those of prime minister Lee Hsien Loong, who is presumed to be the ultimate target of the attack.
