Delete, Replace, Rebuild: A Survivor's Guide to Post-Breach Identity Repair
After the Dark Web Leak: Amicus International Consulting Offers Legal, Secure, and Complete Identity Restoration for Victims of Cyber Theft VANCOUVER, B.C. — In the wake of an unprecedented wave of data breaches and dark web leaks, millions of individuals are discovering that their personal information — names, addresses, Social Security numbers, banking credentials, and even biometric data — has been exposed, sold, or weaponized online. In response to this growing digital crisis, Amicus International Consulting has launched a comprehensive identity restoration program titled 'Delete, Replace, Rebuild: A Survivor's Guide to Post-Breach Identity Repair.' The program delivers a structured and lawful path for individuals whose identities have been compromised, empowering them to erase vulnerable traces, replace compromised documents, and rebuild their lives with renewed legal safeguards and digital privacy. 'Cyber theft is no longer about just your credit card — it's about your entire existence being up for sale,' said a spokesperson from Amicus International Consulting. 'Our clients come to us not for recovery, but for reinvention — legally, ethically, and securely.' Delete: Wiping the Digital Footprint After a Breach When a breach occurs, the exposed information can be sold repeatedly on dark web marketplaces, used in synthetic identity fraud schemes, or exploited for blackmail, account takeover, or stalking. The first step in recovery is digital deletion — tracking the leak, identifying exposed assets, and eradicating or mitigating that presence online. Amicus International's deletion services include: Dark web threat scanning and continuous monitoring Cease and desist notices and takedown demands to illicit data brokers to illicit data brokers Database scrubbing to remove or obfuscate personal data from open-source directories to remove or obfuscate personal data from open-source directories Biometric risk assessments, including facial data leak mitigation Case Study: Dark Web Exposure Triggers Identity Theft Across Three Continents In 2023, a Toronto-based tech executive discovered that her leaked facial scan and ID documents were used to open cryptocurrency wallets in Dubai and Singapore. Amicus tracked the data trail, executed digital takedowns, and assisted with securing a new passport and updated biometric profile. Replace: Legal Reissuance of Credentials and Identity Documents Once compromised, traditional credit monitoring or password resets are insufficient. Amicus's legal services help clients replace the core identifiers used to access financial, medical, and legal systems. Key services include: Legal name changes through court petition and international compliance through court petition and international compliance Government-issued ID reissuance , including passports, driver's licenses, and biometric ID cards , including passports, driver's licenses, and biometric ID cards New tax identification numbers (TINs) for use in offshore banking, corporate registration, and tax planning for use in offshore banking, corporate registration, and tax planning Custom document replacement plans tailored to specific countries and legal requirements Case Study: Replacing a Compromised Identity in the Wake of a Political Hack After a high-profile political campaign breach exposed personal data, an Amicus client in Brazil requested a complete identity replacement. The firm successfully processed a legal name change, secured new documentation, and rerouted all digital authentication through new TINs and encryption protocols. Rebuild: Starting Over With Legal Security and Digital Anonymity The final stage of the program focuses on rebuilding a secure life, including reputation management, digital shielding, and establishing a new legal identity for those at extreme risk of further compromise. Rebuild services include: Second citizenship acquisition through legal naturalization, ancestry claims, or investment programs through legal naturalization, ancestry claims, or investment programs Residency-by-relocation for individuals facing persecution, targeted harassment, or cyberstalking for individuals facing persecution, targeted harassment, or cyberstalking Biometric data cloaking using proprietary technologies like facial obfuscation and alias documentation using proprietary technologies like facial obfuscation and alias documentation Reputation cleansing and online privacy architecture to protect future digital engagements Case Study: Digital Disappearance and Identity Rebuild for Whistleblower In 2022, a Southeast Asian whistleblower sought to erase all ties to his prior identity following a leak by government insiders. Amicus created a new life blueprint with legal citizenship through the Grenada Citizenship by Investment Program, digital disconnection protocols, and biometric masking. Why This Program Matters Now In 2024, identity theft surged to a record 35 million cases globally, with dark web exposure being the root cause of nearly 70% of fraud incidents. Standard credit monitoring services are no longer sufficient. Victims need legal, international, and comprehensive solutions. 'This is not about escaping — it's about surviving,' said an Amicus case advisor. 'We help victims recover with dignity, legality, and long-term security.'

YAHOO POLL: Do you support SDP's petition calling for electoral reform?
The Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) isn't letting its general election (GE2025) loss keep it quiet. Instead, it's kicking off a new campaign – Renew, Rebuild, Reignite – with a bold petition to reform how elections work in Singapore. From calling for longer campaign periods to abolishing the GRC system, SDP says voters need more time, transparency, and say in how democracy operates. One big ask? Moving the Elections Department (ELD) out from under the Prime Minister's Office. Critics say the system is too opaque. Supporters say it works just fine. Who's right? Other polls YAHOO POLL: Do you support harsher punishments for animal abusers? YAHOO POLL: COVID-19 cases on the rise – are you staying vigilant? YAHOO POLL: Would you approach otters if you saw them in Singapore? The petition – launched with fanfare and fried noodles at a thank-you dinner – has already sparked chatter. But SDP isn't stopping there. They're doubling down on youth engagement, with plans to bring political dialogue to campuses, publish a book for young voters, and roll out a social enterprise to build grassroots support and business savvy. Dr Chee Soon Juan says it's about starting conversations now, not just waking up every five years before polling day. If you've ever grumbled about rushed campaigns or confusing constituencies, here's your chance to be part of the reform – or at least the feedback. Of course, this isn't a one-party issue. A transparent, robust electoral process is something every voter – regardless of political leanings – should care about. After all, if you're going to queue and cast your vote, shouldn't it feel like it counts? Have your say and take the poll.

SDP launches petition to reform election system as part of new campaign, Singapore News
SINGAPORE - Putting aside the results of GE2025, the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) has resumed its groundwork by launching a petition calling for changes to the election system. It was launched by party chief Chee Soon Juan on May 18, during SDP's thank you dinner for its volunteers. About 180 volunteers attended the dinner, which was held at The Legacy at One North. The petition calls for six changes to the current election system in Singapore. This includes ensuring a minimum three-week campaign period, and setting a six-month gap between boundary changes and the dissolution of Parliament. It is one of the SDP's three initiatives launched as part of its new campaign "Renew, Rebuild, Reignite", in the lead-up to the 2030 General Election. SDP lost in all four constituencies it was contesting in the 2025 General Election. Speaking to the media at a press conference before the dinner, Dr Chee said that the recent election did not give the electorate sufficient time to grasp national concerns which affect society. "This has been the feedback we've been getting over and over especially (from) the younger voters, who are just coming together to learn about the (election) process." Other proposed changes in the petition include removing the election department from being under the Prime Minister's Office, abolishing the GRC system, and reviewing the Newspaper and Printing Presses Act. Dr Chee did not give details on how many signatures the party hopes to get for the petition, or what it plans to do after this. Mr Muhammad Aqmal Harris, a member of the SDP's youth wing Young Democrats, said: "This is not just a 'sign it and forget it' campaign. "This document is the beginning. A conversation starter, a rallying point, and it will evolve with your input." Mr Ariffin Sha, who was part of the SDP's slate contesting Marsiling Yew-Tee GRC, said: "The whole idea is to start this important conversation about electoral reform. "And I think one thing that has been quite interesting that we have seen is many young people, even those who are too young to vote, expressing an interest, and that's very heartening." Besides the petition, SDP will ramp up youth engagement, said Dr Chee, who added that he hopes to publish a book targeted at younger voters. The party also hopes to engage university students through dialogue in universities, and through their social media channels. He said: "We want to engage our younger voters, get them knowledgeable about what politics in Singapore (is about), and about current affairs. This is what is going to be important." The SDP also intends to launch the Orange & Teal social enterprise and cooperative (OTSEC), said Dr Chee, who added that members can join the cooperative for a $100 fee. "The OTSEC is meant to be a ground-up (initiative) where we are looking for Singaporeans to own a part of this business, and to encourage young entrepreneurs." Said Dr Chee: "I look to all of you to actively participate. Let's not go back into our comfort zone (and) keep quiet and lie low for the next four to five years and then awaken again just before the elections, only to find results like what we're seeing today. Let's go out and make the change that we want to see."

Dr Chee Soon Juan vows SDP will press on after GE2025 defeat, unveils Renew, Rebuild, Reignite movement
Dr Chee Soon Juan, secretary-general of the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP), has reaffirmed the alternative party's commitment to serve the nation, despite its recent loss in the General Election 2025. Speaking after the election, Dr Chee declared, 'Let's not wait until 2030 to start our work,' signalling the party's determination to continue engaging residents and advancing its quest to return to Parliament. He congratulated Poh Li San of the ruling People's Action Party (PAP) for her victory in Sembawang West Single Member Constituency (SMC), where she secured 53.19 per cent of the votes against Dr Chee's 46.81 per cent. A challenging post-election period Reflecting on the aftermath, Dr Chee admitted, 'It's been a harrowing few days… trying to make sense of the results, figuring out the next steps and clearing up post-election work.' Despite the setback, he thanked voters and supporters, calling their messages of encouragement 'nourishment for the soul.' Dr Chee also expressed gratitude to the SDP team and volunteers, describing them as a 'dedicated group of Singaporeans answering the call of democracy.' True to the party's spirit, Dr Chee emphasised that the SDP remains 'undaunted.' Plans are underway to advance the Renew, Rebuild, Reignite Movement, which will be unveiled in the coming weeks. He promised continued engagement with residents using 'reasoned argument' and 'the force of logic, not fanciful rhetoric,' reflecting his belief that Singaporeans 'hunger for educated views and logical persuasion.' Dr Chee urged Singaporeans to join the campaign, highlighting its goal of achieving 'a democratic society based on justice and equality,' as articulated in the national pledge. Calling for public involvement, Dr Chee invited supporters to sign up as SDP changemakers via the party's website. He assured them, 'It is going to be an uplifting and gratifying endeavour.' A promise to keep fighting Despite the repeated setbacks, Dr Chee assured supporters that 'the flame of democracy kindled decades ago burns brighter now than ever before.' He pledged to keep the public updated on the SDP's initiatives and expressed confidence in the party's future. 'Believe me, the SDP is on an upward trajectory, and you are going to play a large part in it,' he declared. Dr Chee closed his address by encouraging Singaporeans to take an active role in shaping the nation's future, saying, 'Sign up now and be a part of history in the making.' SDP's performance during GE2025 The General Election on 3 May 2025 saw Poh Li San winning Sembawang West SMC with 11,978 votes, while Dr Chee garnered 10,541 votes out of a total of 22,519 valid votes. Poh, a former member of the PAP team in Sembawang Group Representation Constituency (GRC), had previously secured 67.29 per cent of the vote in the 2020 election. The Sembawang West area became an SMC after a review of electoral boundaries earlier this year. Dr Chee has a history of challenging PAP incumbents. In the 2020 General Election, he contested Bukit Batok SMC but lost to PAP's Murali Pillai with 45.2 per cent of the vote. SDP chairman Professor Paul Tambyah also contested Bukit Panjang SMC, where he lost to PAP's Liang Eng Hwa, who secured 61.41 per cent of the votes. Additionally, the SDP fielded a team in Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC and Sembawang GRC but failed to win seats.
