Letter Published in The National UAE on 23 July 18 It’s alarming that hackers are keeping step with authorities

I write in reference to your article Singapore says hackers stole 1.5 million health records in massive cyber attack(July 21): the enormous cyber attack in which hackers stole invaluable health records in Singapore was sad and entirely unacceptable. The records reportedly stolen are said to include those of the prime minister and health minister of Singapore, raising serious concerns over the motive of the criminals responsible. Despite the fast that governments are developing their technological capabilities, it is alarming that unethical acts like these are also on the rise.
