Goldheart&rsquo s e-commerce website breached with close to 42,000 customers&rsquo personal information compromised
Aspial Lifestyle 5UF 0.00% says its e-commerce website for jewellery brand Goldheart has been breached. This was due to illegal and suspicious activities from an external party that had targeted the site specifically.
The incident, which took place on May 24, saw the personal information of close to 42,000 customers compromised.
However, the brand&rsquo s personal information from November 2022 has not been compromised, says the group.
&ldquo We took immediate steps to mitigate any further illegal access by suspending our e-commerce website, securing our systems, and working with cyber security experts and relevant authorities. Our top priority is to protect the data of our customers and prevent any further unauthorised access,&rdquo says Goldheart.
According to the group, the unauthorised access was limited to customers&rsquo names, addresses, email addresses, dates of birth and phone numbers.
The Personal Data Protection Commissioner and the police have been notified, along with all of the customers who were affected.
No other data, including financial data such as credit card information or passwords, have been compromised.
&ldquo Due to the nature of the compromised data, we believe there is limited risk of fraudulent activity for those affected. That said, we have asked all affected customers to take all necessary precautions, including ensuring that emails received are from legitimate senders and to review email links carefully,&rdquo says Goldheart.
Aspial Lifestyle was formerly known as Maxi-Cash Financial Services Corp. In July 2022, Mainboard-listed Aspial Corporation, the controlling shareholder of then-Maxi-Cash, sold a group of businesses into the latter for $87.8 million. The businesses include Aspial Lee Hwa Jewellery Singapore Gold Purple and BU2 Services, which runs the Lee Hwa and Goldheart jewellery brands.

Maxi-Cash to launch S$36.75 million more in 6.05% notes due 2025 after investor interest
CATALIST-LISTED pawnbroker Maxi-Cash Financial Services Corp is launching another S$36.75 million in Series 003 Notes, after " interest from its investors" , the board has said.
The new set of 6.05 per cent notes due 2025 will be issued on Jan 24 and, combined with the initial notes announced earlier this month, will take the final aggregate principal amount of the Series 003 Notes to S$60 million, the board said on Monday (Jan 17).
Maxi-Cash disclosed that investors - including some directors and controlling shareholders or their associates - had shown interest in launching more notes under the issue, which is part of the group' s S$300 million multi-currency medium-term programme.
Such investors have been allocated some 42.9 per cent of the extra notes - which takes their share of subscription to a substantial 40.4 per cent of the entire Series 003 Notes issue.
Series 003 Note holders also have the option to require Maxi-Cash to redeem their notes if chairman Koh Wee Seng and his siblings Ko Lee Meng and Koh Lee Hwee no longer have a combined shareholding interest of more than 50 per cent in the company.
Net proceeds from the issuance of the latest set of notes will be used for general corporate purposes, such as refinancing or repayment of borrowings, as well as investments, acquisitions, expansions, working capital and/or capital expenditure requirements, the board added. CIMB and DBS have been appointed the joint lead managers and bookrunners.

Maxi-cash' s earnings declines by 20% in 1H21 declares interim dividend of 0.65 cents
Maxi-cash financials services reported earnings of $8.1 million in 1HFY21 ended June, down 20% from the $9.9 million logged in the year before.On a fully diluted basis, earnings per share was 0.77 cents, down 21% from 0.97 cents in 1HFY20.
With this net asset value per share was 13.97 cents on June 30, compared to 14.64 cents on Dec 31.
Revenue for the first six months of the year was up 9% to $111.6 million thanks to higher revenue from the retail of jewelry and branded merchandise as well as an increase in interest in interest income from the pawnbroking business in Singapore and abroad.
These helped to offset the overall revenue recorded by the pawnbroking business following lower intersegment sales that mainly consist of sales from unredeemed pledges.
Operating expenses &ndash comprising employee benefits, depreciation and amortisation and finance increased by $1.9 million due to higher staff and depreciation costs in support of business expansion locally and regionally.
As at June 30, Maxi-cash' s cash and cash equivalents was $14.1 million, down from $28.7 million in the year before.
The group has declared an interim dividend of 0.65 cents per ordinary share for 1HFY21, down from the 1.15 cents paid out previously.
Going forward, the group reckons that the resurgence of the pandemic may continue to affect business and consumer sentiments in the countries it operates in.
Still, it expects operations in Singapore to be " fairly stable" as local vaccination rate increases. The group adds that it will look to improving the effectiveness and efficiency in delivering its products and services by leveraging on innovation and staff training.
Shares in Maxi-cash closed up 0.4 cents or 2.2% at 18.6 cents on Aug 6.

Brother, this is a very pertinent pt. One reason for coys to list is to have earier access to capital from the public domain. MC' s recent rights bears out that pt.

I was kinda mocking since so much had been written abt the risks of Aspail bonds .... . But u look at the family, the way they have managed to make well over a billion, n still counting, n u wonder the risks are in investing in the Aspail bonds. In their stable, Fragrance, GPH, Aspail, Maxi-cash, AF Global, substantial stake in Tuan Sing (n I think stake in Oxley too?), etc. Which one or ones, where they have majority control, are they taking private?
