DBS Bank said that it had $23,000 stolen from 17 customers' bank accounts last Sunday as fraudsters used Singapore ATM machines to make unauthorised withdrawals.

 

Security measures the bank put in place helped alert customers to the incident, and no further unauthorised withdrawals have since been made.

 

This incident is a continuation of the ATM skimming scheme that saw $1 million stolen from the bank accounts of 700 DBS and POSB customers last month.

 

'On Feb 19, Sunday night, DBS received calls from a handful of customers who were alerted to unauthorised ATM withdrawals in Singapore, after receiving real-time SMS alerts from the bank,' a spokesman for the bank said in response to queries from The Straits Times.

I know POSB ATM card can be used with DBS ATM. Can do the reverse using DBS ATM card with POSB ATM?

Where got so fast? So many POSB/DBS ATMs island wide. They just have to target machines that have not install the card jiddering device.

 

A faster method is to cancel your account and move to another bank. [:p]

This real time sms alert is already present in China very long and for all amounts.

 

It tooksomething to happen for dbs to initiate it but only above a certain amount.

 

It should be done for all amounts as long as customers opt in for it

This means that those compromised cards details are still usable, because the ATM car holders did not change their password!

 

Better to really change your password, else a third round may happen in near future. Who knows.
