SINGAPORE - The original Singapore registry that let listed organisations protect their brands from being misused in SMS for scams will be shut down from Monday (March 7) in a surprise move.
All major retail banks and government agencies in Singapore were required to get on the Singapore SMS SenderID Protection Registry pilot, in the wake of recent SMS phishing scams targeting OCBC Bank customers.
