Unfortunately, there’s little you can do.

Your IC number is a permanent fixture of your life –and can’t be changed. This is bad design, but it’s the design we have at the moment.

If you lose your Phone Number, Credit Card details or E-mail address, you’d still have some form of mitigating the damage. But if someone gets your IC number, you can’t go to the NRD and get them to issue you a new one.

To be fair IC numbers (in their modern form) are at least 25 years old, so I’m not blaming anyone — but the reality is that we should either stop using IC numbers so extensively , or find some way to make them mutable. Not and easy task, but until that happens the damage of this leak will continue… in perpetuity.

Now onto the good news!

The leak is from 2014, so the chances of you having the same phone is minuscule. I know of only one person whose phone is older than 3 years old, everybody else has changed their phone. So IMEI numbers (which are tied to your phones) from 2014 are pretty useless.

IMSI and SIM are almost the same as well. Over the past 3 years, I’m almost certain a large percentage of the victims (50-80%) would have their sim cards swapped — primarily from buying a new phone that required a micro or nano sim or from porting telcos, or just losing their phones.

What’s not so good is the fact that most people still keep their Name, Address and Phone Number. So those are the top 3 (4 if you count IC Numbers) data elements in the breach, and unfortunately their almost all there
