Singaporean Man Working for China Used Social Networks to Recruit Spies

Dickson Yeo admitted to using various social media sites to help him identify Americans—including US military and government officials—who had access to confidential information.

A Singaporean citizen working for Chinese spies was apparently using LinkedIn to help him recruit informants in the US.

On Friday, the US Justice Department announced that a Singaporean national named Jun Wei Yeo entered a guilty plea for acting as an illegal agent of the Chinese government since 2015.

Yeo, whose English name is Dickson, admitted to using various social media sites to help him identify Americans—including US military and government officials—who had access to confidential information. The goal was to hire the Americans to write reports on sensitive matters, which were then secretly sent back to the Chinese government.

Naver transfers Hong Kong backup data to Singapore

The South Korean search giant denied allegations that its sensitive user data stored abroad was at risk.

South Korea's Naver said on its official blog page that it has moved user backup data that was stored in Hong Kong to Singapore.

The data in Hong Kong was destroyed between July 6 to 10 and the server that was used to store it has been rebooted, the company said.

The company's move comes shortly after China introduced stringent, new national security laws that are aimed at tightening Beijing's control over the territory.

The decision to transfer backup data to Singapore was also in response to allegations made by local media that Naver's sensitive user data stored in Hong Kong was at risk of being leaked and that the Chinese government could access the data at any time.

Singapore's Universal Studios deploys facial recognition for entry

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Visitors to Universal Studios in Singapore will now have to pass through facial recognition scanners to enter the park, in the city-state’s latest foray with a technology that has stoked privacy concerns.

Resorts World Sentosa (RWS), which owns the sprawling area of tourist attractions, hotels and restaurants in which the park sits, said the scheme which started this month would help smooth access for guests.

“Facial recognition provides contactless verification of tickets and ticket holders, enabling our customers to enjoy our park experience in a more efficient and seamless manner,” RWS said in an emailed statement.

UK firm to power face verification in Singapore's digital identity system

British firm iProov inks deal to provide face verification technology used in Singapore's national digital identity system, enabling four million users to access e-government services with a biometric scan.

Singapore has inked a deal with British vendor iProov to provide face verification technology used in the Asian country's national digital identity system. Already launched as a pilot earlier this year, the feature allows SingPass users to access e-government services via a biometric, bypassing the need for passwords.

The agreement also sees Singapore-based digital government services specialist, Toppan, involved in the deployment of the facial verification technology.

Flatten the curve

The future of banking for a cashless society in Singapore short of implementing CBDC.

"Digital banks in #Singapore are offering more than just higher interest rates to entice sign-ups in a market that is dominated by traditional banks.

Among their offerings, the banks are ramping up promotions and services to help clients offset higher inflation.

Unlike traditional banks where customers can make transactions at physical branches, digital banks operate entirely online.

They do not have automated teller machines (ATMs) to dispense cash, nor physical bank outlets."
