CNA report : Two Malaysians jailed for possessing ATM skimming equipment

SINGAPORE: Two Malaysian men were jailed six years each for possessing skimming equipment to make false ATM cards.

 

Twenty-seven-year-old Loke Siew Fei and 39-year-old H'Ng Gaik Chin each pleaded guilty to two counts of contravening the Computer Misuse Act and one count of possessing equipment for making a false instrument.

 

An additional charge of unauthorised use of computer service was also taken into consideration.

 

The duo were tasked to bring skimming devices into Singapore to conduct skimming activities on ATM machines.

 

In January, they tampered with three ATM machines - a DBS ATM at Bugis Village, and two UOB ATMs at Sims Avenue.

 

After installing skimming devices on the machines, they would steal data from the ATM card's magnetic strip.

 

A camera was also installed near the machines' key pad to record the Personal Identification Numbers (PIN) of users.

 

They then emailed the information to a syndicate in Malaysia, where unauthorised withdrawals would be carried out by other members.

 

The court heard that within an hour of them tampering with the machines, bank customers carried out more than 200 transactions involving 100 bank accounts at the affected ATM machines.

 

However, none of the accounts were misused and there was no actual monetary loss to customers.

 

 

 

Just in posession of skimming equipment and no $$$$ loss, get 6 years jail each.

 

Head-butt police officer, probation only....

wouldn't you appreciate that the government shows that it values compromises affecting the public more important than to its own civil service officers? Or would you have it the other way around?
