11 Dec 2025 Singapore Telecommunications Limited (Singtel)IMDA: SGD 1m against Singtel after hours-long fixed-line voice outage SingaporeCritical infrastructure €660,197

On 8 October 2024 Singtel's fixed-line voice service failed for more than four hours for around 500,000 residential and corporate users; customer service lines of government agencies, healthcare organisations and banks as well as emergency call services were also affected. The cause was that the virtualised firewalls of the voice system and of a monitoring system shared the same hardware, so that an overload of the insufficiently filtered monitoring system also disrupted the voice system and the automatic failover did not work cleanly; according to the investigation, there was no cyber-attack. The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA, Singapore's telecoms and media regulator) imposed a penalty of SGD 1 million under the Telecommunications Act because the incident had been within Singtel's control to prevent.

What organisations can take from it

Critical services need separated components and reliably tested failover mechanisms – shared hardware can turn a fault in an ancillary system into an outage of the core service.
