MAS urges caution amidst intensified phishing attempts

Some emails claim to come from MAS itself.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) is urging banking customers to exercise caution amidst increasing number of reported phishing attempts over the past week.

A number of messages purportedly circulated by banks have been asking customers to update sensitive personal information, with a few messages claiming the authority of MAS.

Often done via spoofed emails, phishing aims to obtain personal particulars like banking account details, PIN, credit card numbers, one-time passwords to perform unauthorised banking transactions.

“MAS also expects all financial institutions (FIs) to take action to protect their customers,” the de facto central bank said in a press release. “They should promptly alert their customers of any phishing activity and remove phishing websites that target their customers.”

We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
