SINGAPORE: (Nov 25) Singapore Police has ordered Apple and Google to take steps to prevent government impersonation scam messages on iMessage and Google Messages.
These measures are aimed at preventing “spoofing”, a technique cybercriminals use to disguise themselves as a known or trusted source, said the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in a press release on Tuesday.
The mandated measures include preventing accounts and group chats from displaying names that spoof “gov.sg” or government agencies, or filtering messages from accounts and group chats with such names.
