School supervisor's e-mail account hacked, spoof appeals for donations sent

SINGAPORE - E-mails supposedly from a staff member seeking donations prompted Hai Sing Catholic School to release a statement on its Facebook page and school website last week.

In the statement, principal Daniel Ang said:"The school has received information on spoof e-mails circulating from Sister Maria's e-mail address, seeking donations and fund-raising for other unverified causes. "Sister Maria and the school wish to state that these involve a case of hijacking of her e-mail and do not originate from Sister Maria's person ."She is responsible for activities related to canvassing and appealing to donors in support of the school's building fund, the statement said.He would only confirm that an e-mail appealing for donations from Sister Maria's private e-mail account had been circulated.

He added:"For concerned parties who wish to verify whether an appeal for donations was made by the school, they can contact the school by phone on 6582-7864 or by e-mail at hshs@moe.edu.sg. "We hope that these malicious spoof e-mails do not discourage donors from supporting the school's fund-raising efforts."
