Protection for Bank Customers against Attacks Which Hijack Messages or Passwords and Misrepresent Banks

104 Ms Joan Pereira asked the Prime Minister regarding fraudulent credit card payments made by hackers (a) what protection do bank customers have against sophisticated attacks on bank systems which hijack messages or passwords, or misrepresent the banks; (b) what are the measures that can be taken by customers to protect their own credentials, and (c) how can customers know which online services and purchase platforms are considered trustworthy by banks.

Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam (for the Prime Minister): This question will be answered by my reply to Dr Tan Wu Meng's PQ filed for a subsequent Sitting.
