Professor Hahn Jungpil from NUS Computing was featured in Lianhe Zaobao on consumer fraud in the digital economy, where he commented on how scams are becoming more targeted and sophisticated, particularly towards older consumers. He noted that while seniors in Singapore tend to have higher scam awareness compared to those in other Asia-Pacific countries, they also face greater financial losses when defrauded due to their accumulated assets and the nature of scams such as impersonation of government officials.

He advised businesses to take proactive steps against online fraud, including monitoring for fake websites and social media accounts, clarifying official communication channels, and collaborating with platforms and authorities to swiftly remove impersonators.
