SINGAPORE: The Singapore Prison Service (SPS) said on Sunday (Feb 17) it has made a police report over an email from Mikhy Brochez containing information of 13 HIV-positive individuals.
The email contained photographs of a piece of paper which had a list of NRIC/FIN numbers of those 13 people, said SPS.

The email was sent on Saturday to some government authorities and media organisations, SPS added.
“Brochez appears to have secured unauthorised possession of a copy of the list prepared for 28 March 2018 by Parkway Shenton, who is SPS’ appointed medical service provider,” SPS said.
It added that it is in the process of reaching out to those on the list to inform them that their information had been disclosed illegally by Brochez, the American man believed to behind the leak of data belonging to 14,200 HIV-positive people from Singapore’s HIV registry.
