Singtel, StarHub join forces to help combat WannaCry ransomware

The two will be setting up helplines for customers.

With the current global ransomware attack by the WannaCry virus, the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore has sought the helping hand of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) Singtel and StarHub to provide further information on the ransomware to businesses and members of the public.

The two will be setting up helplines to provide advice to their customers.

"This is an issue of national importance and we will take all the necessary measures to counter the spread of the ransomware and help businesses and members of the public prevent or recover from it as quickly as possible,” CSA CEO David Koh said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
