And I quote:"But in its Dec 14 statement, the Ministry of Digital Development and Information (MDDI) said people can make a good guess at someone's full NRIC number from the masked number using basic algorithms, "especially if one also knows the year of birth of the person"."  :flash:



Is doxxing going to be legal since everything is public info and can play guessing game

Hmm..doxxing law was introduced about same time as pdpa amendment in 2020 wrt data breach. Maybe now that nric is declared as non sensitive data, doxxers might be given more second chances.

Anyways, citizen's data on Bizfile is only worth $33 per person. Can get to verify their nric, full name and home address. (apart from knowing which companies they are a director/shareholder of). There is nothing to hide because sinkies are the lowest caste in Singapore.
