Global syndicate behind SMS scam job offers —NPC
A global organized syndicate operates the recent surge in SMS-based phishing scams, revealed by National Privacy Commission (NPC) on Tuesday. The government agency summoned the data protection officers of Globe, Smart, DITO, Lazada, Shopee, and several banks to provide information on their spam prevention measures in response to the said scam.
"We have summoned them to detail their current and future measures to combat smishing," said Privacy Commissioner Raymund E. Liboro.
Based on the NPC's initial investigations, a global crime syndicate operates the recent proliferation of scam texts. And it is not done by a group that has gained unauthorized access to contact tracing forms, as was initially suspected.
Liboro said that if their initial findings that personal data is being misused by criminals abroad is proven to be true, then this becomes a matter of national security. This should compel the government, the private sector, and advocacy groups to collaborate and take more immediate and concrete action to safeguard.
Privacy Commissioner reminded data subjects once again to exercise caution and avoid clicking on suspicious links. He also advised them to always carefully examine the message they receive and not be taken in by its lofty promises of easy, passive income and well-compensated jobs.
"If from an unknown number, and with an offer that is too good to be true, it is most probably not true and is a scam," added Liboro.
Moreover, Liboro assured that the NPC will keep monitoring the situation.
He also urged victims to file a report against the malicious senders immediately, especially if they believe their personal data has been compromised.
Previously, Globe has strengthened its data protection policy to stop scams such as "deceptive phishing" and "smishing."
