Students in Singapore are scrambling after a security breach wiped notes and all other data from school-issued iPads and Chromebooks running the mobile device management app Mobile Guardian.<\/p>\n

According to news reports<\/a>, the mass wiping came as a shock to multiple students in Singapore, where the Mobile Guardian app has been the country\u2019s official mobile device management provider for public schools since 2020<\/a>. Singapore\u2019s Ministry of Education said Monday<\/a> that roughly 13,000 students from 26 secondary schools had their devices wiped remotely in the incident. The agency said it will remove the Mobile Guardian from all iPads and Chromebooks it issues.<\/p>\n

Second breach in 4 months<\/h2>\n

Also on Monday, Mobile Guardian revealed its platform had been breached in a \u201csecurity incident that affected users globally, including on the North America, European, and Singapore instances. This resulted in a small percentage of devices to be unenrolled from Mobile Guardian and their devices wiped remotely. There is no evidence to suggest that the perpetrator had access to users\u2019 data.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
