Officials for Star Hub, a Singaporean Telco, have recently revealed that the company suffered a data breach in July that resulted in the leak of personal data belonging to over 57,000 customers. It is believed that the leaked data reaches back to 2007, and contains mostly contact information for customers including email addresses and phone numbers, which could be bought and used for further phishing campaigns.

Amazingly, this malware has been spotted on devices in almost 144 countries across the globe, with the small number of total downloads.
