⚠️ Scam Alert: #Singpass ⚠️

Did you receive an email claiming to be from Singpass informing that your account is on hold or locked due to a security update?

This is a phishing scam! This fake email contains a link to a fake website phishing for the user’s email and password.

We’ve worked with the relevant authorities to take down the website, but new ones can appear. We’d like to remind users to be vigilant:

1️⃣ Check that the web domain of the #Singpass website is singpass.gov.sg before entering your details!
2️⃣ The official Singpass Helpdesk email address is support@singpass.gov.sg.

πŸ“ž If you suspect that you have fallen prey to a phishing scam, please call the Anti-Scam Hotline at 1800-722-6688 or make an online report at πŸ”— www.police.gov.sg/iwitness.

You can also reach the Singpass Helpdesk at 6335 3533 and press β€œ9” for 24-hour scam support.

🧠 How well do you #KnowYourTech ?

We use it daily without really noticing it πŸ‘€ But what actually is HTTP? Is HTTPS its plural form? πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™€οΈ

πŸ‘‰ Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a medium that lets your browser communicate with servers through the exchange of data.

πŸ‘‰ Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is an extension of that, powered by Transport Layer Security (TLS), that – you probably guessed it by now – transfers data more securely by encrypting it. This makes HTTPS websites a lot less vulnerable to hackers!

Give this a πŸ‘ if you learnt something new today!

πŸ“’ PSA: Download Government apps only from their official app stores, e.g. Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

⚠️ Installing apps in other file formats, like Android Package Kits or iOS App Store Package, from third-party websites puts you at risk of viruses and malware attacks.

Malicious actors can modify the installation files to gain unauthorised access to your data, spy on your activities or even steal your passwords.

These sites are common and malicious actors can strike anytime, so stay vigilant! πŸ‘€

🧠 How well do you #KnowYourTech ?

πŸ’‘The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the vast network of interconnected objects and systems that exchange data with each other via the Internet. These devices can be found everywhere, from household appliances to industrial tools!

The IoT offers many benefits that can help us in several ways:
βœ… We can access information anytime, anywhere
βœ… We can connect electronic devices more effectively
βœ… We can save time & money transferring data packets over a connected network
βœ… We can automate tasks and reduce the need for human intervention
