SINGAPORE - The home addresses of about 80 people were changed online without their knowledge, after scammers had obtained their NRIC and Singpass details. Scammers had used compromised Singpass accounts to circumvent several security safeguards in the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority's (ICA) change of address system. Initially, only several cases were reported in 2024. But they've increased recently, and it appears this is one method for crime syndicates to gain access to and control the victims' Singpass accounts. On Saturday (Jan 11), ICA said it started investigating cases of unauthorised changes of residential addresses in September 2024. All NRIC holders are required to report a change of address within 28 days of moving into a new residence, whether it is located in or outside Singapore. Anyone who reports a false residential address can be fined up to $3,000, jailed for two years, or both. It is also an offence if a user does not fix the new address sticker to the NRIC.

Malware scams involving phishing links sent through messaging platform WhatsApp have led to at least $625,000 in losses since last December. Giving the figures in a news release on Friday (Jan 10), the Singapore Police Force said at least 82 cases of such scams have been reported. The victims fell into a recent type of scam when they responded to fraudulent advertisements promoting travel and cleaning services on Facebook or TikTok. After leaving their contact details to indicate their interest, scammers would contact them through WhatsApp to request for a $5 payment as «membership fee or an upfront deposit» made through a phishing link. The victims would key in their credit or debit card details and encounter payment issues. Scammers would then instruct them to download a malicious application in an Android package kit (APK) file format through WhatsApp to 'resolve' the payment issues. The malware, once downloaded, would allow scammers to steal sensitive information such as SMS one-time passwords.
