Hi BGD. The problem is there is no obvious way to lock down the system (i.e. stop people misusing the data - i.e. a credit freeze or whatever). All it takes is this data and some reasonably good NRIC cards with the data and they can do a lot of harm to your credit - so yes I think they will be trying to monetize it. Even if it's a state actor they may still offer on the dark web to distract the investigators.
Who hacked it? Someone with a pretty good toolset - I doubt a script kiddie could have done it. It's appalling that it could happen and that the data wasn't properly segmented and separated into DMZ's. I truly hope Singapore Intelligence gets this one sorted. I've never, ever liked having all my data linked to one key (my IC).
