News & Reviews:   phishing site

The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) has advised the public to be wary of a new scam that’s taking advantage of the 15th General Election (GE15). It involves giving out RM500 aid via a fake Touch ’n Go eWallet link shared through SMS.

The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) today warned Malaysians to be wary of a viral link related to a fake lucky draw allegedly organised by Petronas. It is believed that the link will take users to phishing website designed to obtain user data for illicit use.

The Ministry of Communications and Multimedia (K-KOMM) yesterday denied the authenticity of an alleged PerantiSiswa application link which has gone viral on social media. Instead, the ministry stresset that the website is only an unofficial individual website and not from any official channel.

K-KOMM secretary-general Datuk Seri Muhammad Mentek further clarified that the application system for PerantiSiswa is currently under development. It will only be launched this 15 April.

Facebook has made a few questionable decisions over the years, both internally in terms of management as well as relating to the platform’s algorithm and features. Well, it seems that Meta’s popular social media platform is at it again, this time by reportedly locking out users who doesn’t activate Facebook Protect out of their Facebook accounts. 

Worse, some users are even saying that they weren’t made aware of the necessity of turning on Facebook Protect. In fact, the only notice they got was from a spam-like email from Facebook titled “Your account requires advanced security from Facebook Protect”.
