DBS, OCBC, and UOB in Singapore are slated to retire the use of one-time passwords (OTPs) for customers who have digital tokens, in a move that aims to combat phishing scams. To be phased out within the next three months, OTPs will remain available to customers of the three banks who still rely on physical tokens. These users, however, are "strongly encouraged" to activate their digital tokens to better safeguard their credentials against phishing attacks, according to a joint statement released Tuesday by industry regulator Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and The Association of Banks in Singapore (ABS).

3 banks plan to retire one-time passwords for customers with digital tokens

Singapore has set in motion an aggressive plan to retire one-time passwords (OTPs) for its retail banking customers within the next three months. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Association of Banks in Singapore (ABS) said the new authentication process will employ digital tokens in lieu of passwords as a better way to protect against phishing attacks aimed at stealing customer banking credentials. Banking customers will use digital tokens on their mobile devices to authenticate to their accounts on mobile apps and on the banks' websites.

Another significant change that’s talked about less is the surge of multifamily rental fraud. Multifamily managers have increasingly shifted to online applications, widening the playfield for disreputable applicants who use more sophisticated fraud techniques. Meanwhile, many property managers are still using outdated fraud detection techniques that aren’t working.

AT&T Corp. disclosed today that a new data breach has exposed phone call and text message records for roughly 110 million people — nearly all of its customers. AT&T said it delayed disclosing the incident in response to “national security and public safety concerns,” noting that some of the records included data that could be used to determine where a call was made or text message sent. AT&T also acknowledged the customer records were exposed in a cloud database that was protected only by a username and password (no multi-factor authentication needed).
