On January 25, 2017, the PDPC ruled that a real estate agency failed to make
reasonable security arrangements to prevent the unauthorized access
of personal data stored online, and failed to cease storing
documents containing personal data on its system until a security
scan had been conducted. The Commission imposed a financial penalty
of S$10,000 for violating the Personal Data Protection Act of
2012.
