Apple and Google have been directed by the police to put in place measures to prevent the spoofing of Singapore Government agencies via iMessage and Google Messages by Nov 30.This comes amid over 120 cases involving the impersonation of SingPost, said the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in a statement on Tuesday (Nov 25).MHA added that the police have also seen scams involving the impersonation of other SMS sender ID registry-registered (SSIR) sender identities on Apple's iMessage and Google Messages. Government agencies have been using the «gov.sg» SSIR to send SMSes since July 2024. This helped to protect the public from impersonation scams by allowing the public to identify legitimate government SMSes easily.Those measures currently do not apply to messages sent via iMessage and Google Messages.MHA said that while government agencies do not use the «gov.sg» ID to send messages via iMessage and Google Messages, members of the public may assume that messages they receive from accounts claiming to be from «gov.sg» on the two said chat messaging platforms are legitimate because they are not easily distinguishable from SMSes.
