THE Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has instructed Citibank and DBS to conduct a “thorough investigation” into a recent disruption of numerous online services, and said it will take “appropriate supervisory actions after gathering the necessary facts”.
This comes after a technical issue at an Equinix data centre in Singapore led to the disruption of services last Saturday (Oct 14), including those of Citibank and DBS.
