20 Jun 2025 Goldheart Jewelry Pte. Ltd.Goldheart Jewelry: 58,000 SGD over security patch applied eleven months late SingaporeData breaches and data security €39,197

The jeweller applied a patch released in February 2022 for a known vulnerability (CVE-2022-24086) in the Magento platform of its online shop only in January 2023; through the gap an attacker extracted the customer database with data on 41,379 individuals and posted it on an online forum in May 2023. The Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC, Singapore's data protection authority) found a negligent breach of the Protection Obligation because the company relied entirely on its maintenance vendor for patching without directing or monitoring it, and rejected the argument that the vendor had been a data intermediary. Alongside 58,000 SGD (provisionally 64,000 SGD; the finding on credentials stored in plain text was dropped after representations) it directed an external security audit of access controls and the remediation of any gaps.

What organisations can take from it

A company that outsources the maintenance of its web shop remains responsible for patching and must assign responsibilities and monitor implementation.
