The report claimed that the campaign is set to launch in Singapore on 21 June 2020. Based on the report, phishing emails would be sent from a spoofed email account from the Ministry of Manpower, to businesses, to offer additional support of $750 for their employees. Although the report suggests that the phishing campaign in Singapore would spoof the Ministry of Manpower and is targeted at businesses using COVID-themed lures, there are always ongoing phishing attempts by various cyber criminals who use different themes or lures, and spoof different entities. This is because phishing remains a common and effective technique by cyber criminals to gain access to individuals' accounts, deliver malware to victims, or trick victims into revealing sensitive information including account credentials, bank account numbers and credit card numbers.
