Unauthorised withdrawals from POSB/DBS accounts
-
Note another precaution to consider - see page A16 of today’s (07/01) Straits Time on disabling one’s account from being accessed overseas : found on 2nd page of ATM screen under "More Services" tab under "Change of ATM Card Overseas Access".

Oh my god. This is scary… Have been checking my account regularly to make sure that everything is fine.

actually a simple solution would have resolved the problem any time and it is widely used by many many banks - each time a withdrawal is made, an automated sms should be sent to the account holder
what so difficult to do that ?
just like how NASA spent million$$ to research how to make a ball-point pen that could write in space… the Russians just simply use a pencil to write in space
some CEO just makes something unnecessarily complicated
the skimming of the data may not happen at the atm, it could happen at the POS terminal of any merchants
the bank could protect its atm 100% but not the POS terminal of any merchant around the world.
chipped-based card is not difficult to introduce too…most banks are using it now, except DBS -
I thgt DBS mentioned some time back that it costs them money for such transactions. That’s why I’m issued with the token thingy for internet banking. I do not have such prob with OCBC as they are sending the security code via sms.
Now, tis token thingy is getting larger in size of a pocket credit card. Sigh…
On the other hand, such notification could be use for unauthorised credit card tranx & wondering why cant they do the same for internet banking or ATM withdrawal too -
DBS = D B Slow in taking up latest banking practices in ATM / online security
years ago when they first introduced internet banking and it was full of problems, their usual excuse is to blame it on user’s computer setting, until one day I got so fed up and done a demo to show them how the problem came about — with their red faces all round -
For those of us who do not use atm overseas, it is better to disable it.
