SINGAPORE - Singapore's privacy watchdog is investigating the Society of Tourist Guides after the personal data of over 150 of its members was found to be publicly accessible.
Acting on a tip-off, The Straits Times visited the society's website last week and found that a repository containing images of its members' NRIC and driver's licences could be accessed.
