As a Singaporean, I'm shook that the system can be broken so seemingly easily.
As for a human being (myself) it is hard as it is to transfer my CPF (similar to a pension fund) for payments such as housing, medical, investments etc without having a million OTPs, gov app (Singpass) verifications etc.
All things considered, $100+K out of $10M is ~1%, is not much for scam amounts lost from CPF (pension).
That must've been one heck of a social scam; probably got the person to input a lot of their personal details as well.
And this is why, as per another post about someone asking why their banking app doesn't work, banking apps are locked down much harder.
We need to educate people not to fall for this shit.
