Email addresses and phone numbers of about 4,000 people have been taken from a data file on the Singapore Art Museum’s (SAM) website, and illegally published and uploaded to an overseas server.

According to a statement from SAM released on Wednesday, it was alerted by the Infocomm Development Authority (IDA) about the incident on 5 November.

It has since removed the data file from its website and filed a police report.

SAM also revealed that the affected individuals had participated in the museum’s events in 2011 and 2013.

In the statement, the museum also said investigations are still ongoing.

It has also contacted each of the affected individuals to inform them of the illegally published information, and to convey its apologies to them.
