After reading about the SingHealth cyber attack, I realised how vulnerable online databases are.

If hackers could easily retrieve medical information, what else could they get?

Although having our information stored online is a step forward to being a smarter nation, we must not forget the threat hackers present to our personal information. Online security should be emphasised to the public. Let's take this incident as a learning point and improve Singapore's online security, lest hackers get their hands on something more important and are driven by sinister motives.
