Singapore ranks first as launchpad for global cyber attacks
http://www.businesstimes.com.sg/tec...s-first-as-launchpad-for-global-cyber-attacks
Singapore has overtaken nations including the US, Russia and China as the country launching the most cyber attacks globally, according to Israeli data security firm Check Point Software Technologies. "It is not particularly unusual for Singapore to be featured among the top attacking countries," said Eying Wee, Check Point's Asia-Pacific spokeswoman.
That means a cyber attack recorded as coming from Singapore may have been launched outside the country, she said. "Singapore is likely to be used as a gateway for attacks which may be based elsewhere," said a Cyber Security Agency of Singapore spokeswoman in an email.
