If you have not received any direct communications from KTT regarding the Incident, it means that KTT is not aware of any impact to you resulting from this Incident.
As an added level of assurance, KTT’s specialised cyber and forensic experts are also undertaking enhanced dark web monitoring as a precautionary measure.
General cyber security guidance
Be aware of scams
Phishing emails and scams are common risks associated with unauthorised access to personal information. We encourage everyone to be alert to unexpected emails, calls, or messages, especially those asking for personal information or money with a sense of urgency.
If a sender is purporting to be from a company, always verify the sender’s identity by contacting them through the company’s official phone number which can be found on the internet.
Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (“MFA”) and strong passwords
KTT reminds everyone to remain vigilant and always proactively take steps to keep yourself safe online. One such step you can take now is to regularly change your passwords and implement Multi-Factor Authentication (“MFA”) where available.
Device updates and Anti-virus updates
Always ensure your device such as computers and smart devices, and applications are up to date. Also ensure your devices are protected with strong passwords or biometric security features (where available).
