A WOMAN was fined a total of $12,000 on Monday for illegally accessing information of her former employer's insurance policyholders.

Helen Foo Mei Hwa, 41, was a clerk at The Asia Insurance Company when she committed Computer Misuse Act offences at Finlayson Green in August 2005.

She admitted accessing the company's 'premium system' on Aug 17, 18 and 19 that year to get information of the particulars of 156 policyholders belonging to the company.
