'CHINA CYBER-ATTACKS SINGAPORE': What We Know So Far

Singapore has publicly named a Chinese Government cyber espionage group for attacking the nation’s critical infrastructure.

The group, known as "UNC3886", is believed to be part of a broader Chinese state cyber strategy.

Experts are warning the digital assault may be a test run for more aggressive operations across the Indo-Pacific region.

Singapore’s Coordinating Minister for National Security, K. Shanmugam (below photo), confirmed on July 18 that UNC3886 had targeted “high-value, strategic targets” with the intent to conduct espionage or disrupt essential services.

“If it succeeds, it can conduct espionage, and it can cause major disruption to Singapore and Singaporeans,” Shanmugam said.

The naming of UNC3886 is Singapore’s first public attribution of a cyberattack to a state-linked actor, a stark departure from its traditional policy of strategic ambiguity.

While other Western nations like the US and UK frequently ‘name and shame’ government-affiliated cyber actors, Singapore has historically avoided direct attribution — until now.

Singapore has now sent a sharp message without triggering full-blown diplomatic retaliation.

Even then, China’s response was swift.

The Chinese Embassy in Singapore denied involvement, calling the allegations “groundless smears”.

The very next day, Singapore’s Defence Minister Chan Chun Sing revealed the cyber response had escalated to involve the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) and the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) in a whole-of-government operation to root out the hackers.

That escalation is unprecedented in the city-state’s cyber defence playbook and suggests the severity and scale of the intrusion surpassed previous breaches.

In 2018, a similar China-linked attack on the country's SingHealth compromised the personal medical records of 1.5 million Singapore citizens, including it's Prime Minister.

The military’s response now could indicate that Singapore’s security and emergency services infrastructure itself may have been targeted — or that the government is attempting to avoid a worst-case breach similar to the US’s Salt Typhoon incident, where hackers gained access to military and nuclear networks via compromised telecom systems.

UNC3886 is no ordinary hacker collective.

According to Mandiant (a cybersecurity firm owned by Google), the group has conducted stealthy, long-term intrusions into US and Asian defence, tech, and telecom networks, exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities and deploying custom malware to avoid detection.

“This is not ordinary cyber spying,” one analyst noted.

“It’s pre-positioning for disruption.”

Singapore has already been targeted multiple times before.

In 2024, Volt Typhoon, another China-linked group, breached Singtel, the country’s largest telco.

That attack is now believed to have been a test case for larger campaigns — including potential attacks on US infrastructure, given Singtel’s ties to Australia’s Optus.

Singapore is a key US strategic partner, quietly supporting operations that deter Chinese aggression in the Taiwan Strait.

The country trains troops with Taiwan and maintains robust security ties with Washington.

Singapore also took part in Exercise Talisman Sabre, Australia's largest bilateral military exercise with 19 countries including the United States, in a show of force against China.

Reports from the Wall Street Journal earlier this year suggest China views cyber operations as leverage to deter support for Taiwan, targeting infrastructure in countries seen to be backing US-led Indo-Pacific strategy.

“This isn’t just about stealing data anymore,” said one regional security official.

“It’s about shaping decisions without firing a shot.”

Despite the severity of the breach, Singapore has chosen not to issue a direct diplomatic condemnation of China — a choice analysts interpret as strategic restraint to avoid escalation, while still demonstrating it won’t tolerate cyber incursions silently.

Even the attribution to UNC3886 was cautious.

Singapore used the Mandiant threat label, avoiding official government terms that would tie the actor directly to Chinese state agencies.

“Attribution is never binary,” said a former Singaporean cyber official.

“You don’t go from silence to confrontation."

"You test, you calibrate, you message.”

HULKAMANIA LIVES FOREVER: Wrestling Legend Hulk Hogan Dies at 71 After Iconic Career That Elevated WWE and Pro-Wrestling to Global Mainstream Status.

Hulk Hogan — the 6’7” wrestling icon whose charisma, ripped yellow singlet turned pro wrestling into global entertainment — has died at 71.

US media outlets including NBC News and TMZ confirmed Hogan (below with Mohammad Ali) , born Terry Bollea, died at his Florida home after reportedly suffering a cardiac arrest.

WWE announced his passing on social media, calling him “one of pop culture’s most recognisable figures” and “the man who helped take wrestling mainstream.”

“Hogan helped WWE achieve global recognition in the 1980s,” the statement read.

“WWE extends its condolences to his family, friends, and fans.”

Hogan burst onto the wrestling scene in 1979 but became a household name in the mid-1980s, headlining WrestleMania alongside Andre the Giant, Mr. T, and “Rowdy” Roddy Piper as Vince McMahon transformed the then-WWF into a global powerhouse.

With his red-and-yellow tights, bleach-blond hair, “24-inch pythons,” and explosive promos, Hogan was the all-American hero kids worshipped — ripping his shirt in the ring and urging fans to “train, say your prayers, and eat your vitamins.”

His stardom carried him beyond the squared circle into Hollywood, appearing in “Rocky III”, “No Holds Barred,” “Mr. Nanny,” and even TV hits like Baywatch and The A-Team.

Few images in sports entertainment are more iconic than Hogan body-slamming the 500-pound Andre the Giant at WrestleMania III before a record crowd of 78,000 at the Pontiac Silverdome.

In the 1990s, Hogan reinvented himself as “Hollywood” Hulk Hogan, turning villain to form the New World Order (nWo) wrestling faction with Scott Hall and Kevin Nash — a storyline that helped rival promotion WCW crush WWE in ratings for 83 consecutive weeks.

He later returned to WWE, was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005, and continued to make sporadic appearances, with his final on-screen WWE moment in January 2025 during Raw’s Netflix debut.

Hogan’s career wasn’t without scandal. A leaked intimate video led to a $US140 million lawsuit that bankrupted Gawker Media, and a 2015 racial slur controversy saw him briefly ousted from WWE before being reinstated.

He also became a vocal Donald Trump supporter, memorably tearing his shirt at the 2024 Republican National Convention to reveal a Trump-Vance tank top as he hyped the crowd.

After Hogan’s death, Trump posted:

“He entertained fans around the world, and the cultural impact he had was massive. A great friend and a true American hero," said the US President.

Hogan, who endured serious health issues in later years from decades in the ring, is survived by his two children, Brooke (37) and Nick (34), from his first marriage to Linda Bollea.

He later married Jennifer McDaniel in 2010 (divorced in 2022) and wed Sky Daily in 2023.

Vice President JD Vance also paid tribute on X, calling Hogan “a great American icon” and recalling a promise to share beers the next time they met:

“The next time will have to be on the other side, my friend. Rest in peace.”

From slamming giants to starring on the silver screen, Hogan’s legacy is undeniable — the man who turned professional wrestling into a pop-culture juggernaut and brought Hulkamania to millions around the world.

For many of his fans around the world, his famous catchphrase will now be booming louder than ever to immortalized the all time greatest wrestler in history;

Whatcha gonna do, when Hulkamania lives forever?

JOSEPH GROGAN: Family Demands Probe After Irish Multi-Millionaire Dies Day After Wedding

The sudden death of a wealthy Irish farmer and property mogul just one day after marrying his girlfriend has sparked a storm of suspicion.

His family is now calling for a forensic police investigation amid claims there are “an awful lot of unanswered questions.”

Joseph Grogan (below), 75 — owner of a sprawling 220-acre farm worth AU$9.5 million in County Offaly — tied the knot with Lisa Flaherty, 50, in a low-key ceremony on April 14, 2023.

Joseph was diagnosed with stage 4, high-grade non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

The next day, Grogan was dead.

Despite a coroner ruling his death was most likely linked to infection from a weakened immune system, Grogan’s cousins and their legal team insist the circumstances surrounding his sudden passing warrant further investigation.

At a recent inquiry, Coroner Raymond Mahon said Grogan’s exact cause of death could not be conclusively determined because his body was embalmed within hours, leaving any deeper forensic testing impossible.

Family barrister Damien Tansey slammed the hasty embalming and argued the death was “sudden and unexpected,” noting that Grogan’s local doctor had indicated his passing was not due to cancer or organ failure.

“None of the claims that Joe was at the end of life were true or accurate,” Tansey told the inquiry.

“There are serious questions about what really happened.”

In the tight-knit community of Screggan, Grogan’s relationship with Flaherty had been controversial long before his death.

Flaherty, the mother of three, was known locally for her open relationships with multiple men.

She also claimed her romance with Grogan began when she was just 16 — allegations Tansey said had caused “significant anxiety” for the Grogan family.

The secrecy surrounding their last-minute wedding, just months after Grogan’s diagnosis, has only deepened family suspicions.

Flaherty’s lawyer, Stephen Byrne, accused the Grogan family of attempting to cast his client as a villain without evidence.

“He knew his own body, and he knew he was not going to beat this cancer,” Byrne told the hearing.

“Dragging my client over the coals achieves nothing.”

The inquiry also heard testimony from Martin Keyes, a lorry driver, part-time undertaker, and family friend who transported Grogan’s body for embalming just four hours after his death.

When Tansey questioned why the removal was so swift, Keyes denied any rush.

“It was about 7.30pm by the time I took Joe Grogan to Longford. He died at 3pm, I think,” Keyes said,.

He admitted later that he had not seen a death certificate and that the attending doctor was not Grogan’s GP.

The coroner ultimately ruled that Grogan died of natural causes related to cancer and treatment, likely from infection due to his compromised immune system.

But Grogan’s family remains unconvinced, with Tansey urging police to open a full forensic investigation into his final hours.

COLDPLAY SCANDAL: Billion-Dollar CEO Andy Byron Axed After Viral Affair at Concert

A billion-dollar tech CEO has been stood down after a Coldplay concert kiss-cam captured him cuddling with a woman who wasn’t his wife — a viral moment that has thrown his company, Astronomer, into chaos.

Andy Byron, CEO of the $1.5 billion data company, was filmed at Coldplay’s Boston show with his arms around Kristin Cabot, the company's head of HR.

The footage, broadcast on the stadium’s big screen and plastered across social media, sparked global headlines after Chris Martin himself joked:

“Either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy.”

Byron's wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron and mother of his two children, has since removed all traces of her husband on social media, even dropping his surname on Facebook.

In a statement posted to LinkedIn on Saturday, Astronomer confirmed it had launched a formal investigation and that Byron had been placed on leave.

“Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability,” the company said.

“The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter… cofounder and chief product officer Pete DeJoy will serve as interim CEO.”

The company also clarified that senior executive Alyssa Stoddard, who was mistakenly identified online, was not at the concert and had no involvement.

Byron has yet to break his silence as fake statements attributed to him continue to circulate online.

The scandal has dominated LinkedIn, Reddit, and X (formerly Twitter), with Astronomer scrambling to control the fallout.

The company, reportedly worth more than $1.5 billion, is now facing a PR crisis as the saga threatens investor confidence and its carefully crafted image.

While Byron remains silent, the impact on his family has been more visible.

Megan Byron has deactivated much of her online presence and removed her husband’s last name, while friends say she’s been inundated with messages since the footage went viral.

The video — now viewed millions of times worldwide — shows the couple laughing and embracing, seemingly unaware of the kiss-cam as it zeroed in, prompting Martin’s quip that sent the crowd into roars.

What started as a light-hearted concert moment has now exploded into a corporate and personal scandal, with Astronomer’s leadership shaken and Byron’s marriage reportedly in turmoil.

Astronomer has promised “further updates” as its investigation continues, but insiders say Byron’s future at the company is now in serious doubt.
