Meal ordering app Tappee hit by data breach; SATS says four schools affected
Four schools have been affected by a cyber attack involving Tappee, a school meal ordering app used by students.In a statement on Tuesday (Nov 10), food solutions provider SATS said it detected the "malicious access by an unauthorised external party" to Tappee and immediately instructed Serial Multivision Pte. Ltd, the third-party technology vendor that developed and maintains the platform, to suspend access.The app is currently implemented across four schools in Singapore.SATS said the hack happened through a vulnerability in the Tappee platform that was detected by its cybersecurity monitoring capabilities.Based on investigations to date, the compromised data includes student names and email addresses, student financial assistance status, student concession card numbers and certain parent and guardian email addresses, according to SATS."A small number of records contain information on height and weight profile, allergy profile and caloric intake data," it added.
