Singapore's Land Transport Authority has suspended a government construction contractor's access to its digital systems following a cybersecurity incident involving the company.

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) took the action after the contractor experienced a security breach, according to Channel NewsAsia reporting. The suspension restricts the contractor's access to LTA's digital infrastructure, a precautionary measure to protect government systems from potential compromise. Details regarding the nature of the cybersecurity incident and whether any data was accessed or compromised remain limited. The move reflects Singapore's ongoing efforts to strengthen cybersecurity protocols across government agencies and contractors handling sensitive infrastructure. The city-state has made digital security a priority following previous incidents affecting public institutions. No timeline for restoring the contractor's system access was announced. The LTA has not disclosed additional details about the incident or the investigation's scope.
