Read a Yahoo news post about DBS and POSB accounts being illegally withdrawn by a total amount of $200,000.
Some of the victims had $2000 withdrawn from their accounts from ATMs located in Malaysia. Somehow, the details of the accounts and their pins were skimmed by these fraudsters.
A few of the victims interviewed said that they did not have internet bank accounts nor Paypal accounts from which these fraudsters could have gained their bank account information from.
So please check your bank accounts to see if there are any unauthorised withdrawals and approach the bank officers or call 1800-220-1111 as stated in the Yahoo article for help.
Have a Happy New Year and may you have an interesting and fruitful year in 2012, the year of the Dragon.

That is so true Lemizeraq . As an author and business man, I can relate to how you said "A few of the victims interviewed said that they did not have internet bank accounts nor Paypal accounts from which these fraudsters could have gained their bank account information from". I hope more people discover your blog because you really know what you're talking about. Can't wait to read more from you!

Man, all i can say is DBS sucks big time. I watched the news, I pity those people who got their accounts hacked.
It's time to upgrade Singapore, DBS is far behind compared to most international banks.
