    Singapore's SMS SenderID Protection Registry pilot with the Mobile Ecosystem Forum (MEF) will be shut and rebuilt by the Singapore Network Information Centre (SGNIC), a subsidiary of the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), from Monday (Mar 7).

    On Jan 17, 2022, IMDA director of communications and marketing Foo Wen Dee announced the pilot in response to a spate of SMS spoofing attacks targeting OCBC customers.
