SINGAPORE — Singapore officials said Tuesday that it isn’t in the country’s interest to nab — or even name — the perpetrator of a cyberattack that breached 1.5 million health records, including those of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. The country has strengthened its cybersecurity portfolio since the breach, Iswaran said. Around 1.5 million people who visited outpatient clinics in Singapore from May, 1, 2015, to July 4 last year had their personal data accessed and copied. They also said hackers did not have access to other records, such as diagnosis documents, test results or doctors’ notes. ADVERTISEMENTLee, who has been prime minister since 2004, has said he didn’t know what the attackers were hoping to find.
