Google Singapore, CSA pilot scam protection feature for Android users

One in two Singaporeans falls victim to online scams.

Google Singapore and the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) launched a new enhanced protection feature within Google Play Protect, safeguarding mobile users from malware-enabled scams by blocking the installation of potentially risky sideloaded apps.

Singapore will begin the phased pilot of the feature on Android devices in the next few weeks.

Google Singapore reported that one in two online users in Singapore fall victim to online scams despite their confidence in spotting scams and avoiding them.

The new feature has multiple layers of protection, including Spam Protection in Messages, Safe Browsing on Chrome, and Google Play Protect to protect users from fraud, scams, phishing, and other security threats on Android and Google Play.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
