Show Notes
The Ministry of Education disclosed that device management app Mobile Guardian, which is installed on most personal learning devices, was recently hacked, resulting in 13,000 students getting their devices remotely wiped. How did this lapse occur, and what can be done to help the students who lost years of notes? Also, residents of Holland Road were shocked to find out that an international housebreaking syndicate had targeted their estates, leading them to question whether they’d been too complacent with their safety. Do Singaporeans take their safety for granted?
