GLGT - [BREAKING!] ICA temporarily suspends e-service after 80 unauthorised attempts to change residential address

[Nickypigu]

If can hack SingPass to change address then all those that link SingPass to bank how? Claim from ACRA for giving half the information/NRIC to hackers?

 

[crunsik]

Someone open back door. Come clean pls

 

[tExtra]

They probably guess la. No one will give ic to stranger what

If the act is deliberate / persistent, the perps will have an easier time guessing the date of issue of the compromised NRICs. E.g. between now and March 2025. The date range would likely be narrower since ICA needs to send the victims a replacement quickly as part of service recovery e.g. now and end-Jan.

In other words, re-issuing NRIC is not an effective solution.

 

[我是内鬼]

Wonder what kind of creative reasons they will give this time

 

[Glectrix]

If I want to change my nric can I ownself say I'm affected?

 

[Tetsuconek]

U want them to take responsibility?

 

[m0n0n0ke]

Monitoring.....i love pappy

 

[hoolala]

 

[iluvchickenwing]

better re-register thumb and fingerprints and iris better. all 3 must match then let ppl change watever they want. dun rely on nric liao.

 

[Devoan]

The screwup is if I'm the scammer I just do it again after CNY and guess Jan 2025 issue date..... Wtf SPF thinking

 

[Mechafanboy]

Becuz it requires the IC date of issue. There are lots of kumgongs who will knowingly let others take snapshots of their physical IC, probably for money lending. A while back, there was a thread about a massive IC leak on telegram.

Let these morons learn the lesson the hard way.

 

[purplewave]

[purplewave]

Cos those shops and companies etc take photos of back of NRIC for address portion isn't it

So can't blame them

Obviously don't expect the mickey mouse shops to treat such information as top secret when they are on verge of collapse at any second

 

[kuti-kuti]

gov what are u doing?

getting unbelieveable man....

 

[SkyNinja]

LOL

What a joke.

so hacker can try again with jan 2025 issue date

Got 31 tries to test from 1st Jan to 31st Jan. If ICA don't work on 1st Jan New Year and Sundays, can minus a few dates.

It's pure stupidity to rely on dates as the "secret". The brute force range is so small. They need an infra overhaul to either facial or biometric thanks to acra.

I know calling for jo teo indranee and acra head to step down is impossible but this is the perfect case of sinkies get what we vote for
