Stay alert for SMSes from scammers posing as OCBC Securities. Our SMSes are always sent from 'OCBCSec' or 'OCBC Bank' and never include links.

Look out – especially if you have an Android device.

New variants of Android malware (‘malicious software’) allow scammers to control your device remotely or steal sensitive information like login credentials or card details. This means that scammers can log in to your account and make fraudulent transactions or transfers without your knowledge.

Android malware may be found in apps available in the Google Play Store. They could also be disguised as ‘helpful apps’ in Android Package Kit (APK) files that you may be tricked into downloading. By downloading them or giving access to certain functions, you may unwittingly allow scammers to take control of your device.

The Police and the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore have released an advisory on malware. Read more.

Here is how you can protect yourself against malware:
