Tan Teck Seng Electric (Co) Pte Ltd Listed by 8Base Ransomware Group

On February 1, 2025, Singapore-based electrical supplier Tan Teck Seng Electric (Co) Pte Ltd appeared on the leak site of the ransomware group known as 8base. The company, founded in 1973, supplies steel and flexible pipes, cable support systems, lightning protection, grounding systems, cable entries and lugs to electrical engineering contractors and construction firms across Singapore. Public reporting indicates that internal files were exfiltrated during a ransomware attack.

What Public Reporting Shows

Available reporting describes the listing on the 8base leak site hosted at an onion address. The victim count remains unknown, and the precise volume or specific types of files taken have not been publicly detailed beyond the broad description of internal files. No customer records, payment information, or personal data categories have been explicitly confirmed in the initial listing. The company’s website, http://tts.sg/, remains operational at the time of writing.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a local supplier that serves construction and electrical contractors is hit, your data can be caught in the net even if you never directly interacted with the company. Contractors, subcontractors, site workers, and their families often appear in invoices, delivery addresses, employee contact lists, insurance forms, and project bids. A single exposed spreadsheet can link your home address, phone number, email, and sometimes NRIC or passport details to your place of work or a family member’s job site. Once that information leaves a secure environment, it travels quickly through underground markets.

Credential leaks like this one frequently cascade into account takeovers. Passwords or email addresses reused across personal accounts, online banking, government portals, or children’s gaming logins become immediate targets. What begins as a corporate ransomware incident can quietly become a household problem within days.
