News & Reviews:   phishing website

The Communications and Digital Ministry (KKD) has advised the public to be wary of a new scam that is being shared via SMS and messaging apps. The viral message alleges that RM900 will be credited to Bantuan Warganegara Malaysia (BWM) recipients via their Touch ’n Go eWallet, which is nothing but a front for a phishing website.

The Malaysia Computer Emergency Response Team (MyCERT) has warned Malaysians of cybercriminals that are using malicious Android apps to target internet users in our country. Through a campaign called ‘SMSSpy’, these cybercriminals are utilising mischievous tactics to steal and obtain users’ private banking information.
