Singapore to Apple and Google: Stop these fake messages on your apps
Singapore has mandated Apple and Google to combat spoofing on iMessage and Google Messages. Cybercriminals impersonating government agencies, including SingPost, have been targeting users. The directive, under the Online Criminal Harms Act, requires platforms to prevent fake "gov.sg" sender names and obscure unknown sender profiles to protect the public from scams.
