    • Real videos, fake voices: Here's how scammers built a convincing Zoom call featuring Singapore leaders that cost a victim at least S$5 million, a CNA investigation has found.   https://cna.asia/4zvCiAv     How scammers built a fake Zoom call using real videos of Singapore leaders — full details   📌 Overview   Published by CNA on 22 Aug 2026 , this investigation reveals how scammers constructed a convincing fake 19-minute Zoom conference call featuring real footage of PM Lawrence Wong, President Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Minister Indranee Rajah, and other global figures — costing one victim at least S$4.9 million . The premise: claiming urgent funding was needed to stabilise shipping through the conflict-hit Strait of Hormuz .       🎣 How the scam began   1. The victim received a WhatsApp message from an account impersonating Secretary to the Cabinet Wong Hong Kuan, inviting him to an urgent meeting with PM Wong . 2. An email followed — from  [email protected]  (not an official  gov.sg  address) — containing a letter of guarantee with PM Wong’s forged signature, promising full government reimbursement within 15 business days . 3. The victim was told to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and treat everything as highly classified . 4. He joined a Zoom call that appeared to be an official high-level briefing .       🎬 How the fake Zoom call was built — the techniques   ✅ Real videos, from obscure YouTube sources   Scammers did not generate faces from scratch — they repurposed public but little-seen footage :   - PM Lawrence Wong: April 2022 COVID-19 press conference video, starting at the 41-minute mark — hard to identify  - President Tharman Shanmugaratnam: November 2020 virtual panel, fewer than 200 views as of Aug 2026 — filmed before he became president  - Minister Indranee Rajah: March 2023 Money FM 89.3 interview, ~350 views — originally about housing/urban planning  - Canada’s Foreign Minister Anita Anand: March 2025 virtual press conference — her original speech actually matched the scam’s theme, so it was used unedited as a "trust anchor"  - Other participants included UAE diplomat Anwar Gargash and a BlackRock representative    At least 7 distinct video segments were traced back to publicly available YouTube videos .   ✅ Fake audio over real video   - Original audio was replaced with synthetic or altered voice audio — likely AI-generated or voice-cloned speech  - Result: lip movements often did not match the words being spoken  - Exception: Anita Anand’s segment — her original speech fit the narrative perfectly, so it was left unchanged and perfectly in sync, which helped build trust    ✅ Covering tracks — fake branding   - Original watermarks (Money FM 89.3, The Straits Times) were covered up with a fake "Live Zoom Recording" graphic overlaid in the corner — authentic Zoom calls never display such logos inside participant feeds    ✅ The "extra participants" trick   - 4 additional Zoom accounts appeared as silent participants — including Tharman and a BlackRock representative - Their video feeds were playing in a loop — creating the illusion of a crowded, legitimate meeting    ✅ Telltale flaws — how it could have been detected   - The main video feed always showed the account name "Lawrence Wong" — even when completely different people were speaking on screen  - Everything was broadcast from one single account, rather than individual participants joining separately  - Lip-sync mismatches were visible — though strong emotions or urgency can cause victims to overlook this  - One 15-second sequence showing PM Wong and Indranee together was flagged as AI-manipulated — likely stitched from different clips or generated from scratch        💸 The outcome   After the call, someone posing as a lawyer contacted the victim. He transferred at least S$4.9 million across multiple transactions into corporate accounts provided by the scammers . He only realised he’d been scammed on 14 May 2026, when he contacted the real Secretary to the Cabinet .       ⚠️ Broader trends & warnings   - Government official impersonation scams in Singapore more than doubled — from 1,504 cases in 2024 to 3,363 in 2025  - Deepfake-related fraud losses worldwide hit US$347 million in Q2 2025 alone, per Group-IB  - These scams are now "alarmingly easy to replicate": no hacking required — just public videos, cheap voice-cloning software, and fake accounts  - Advice from experts: Always verify meeting invitations independently — use official  gov.sg  contacts, never trust email addresses from external domains, and be suspicious of urgent demands involving money or secrecy agreements        Source: CNA | Singapore Police Force

    • #财商 #缺德必备 #六大条件 | TikTok     Here is a simple, plain-English breakdown of those six personality types:    * The Dodger (狡 - Jiǎo): A quick-thinking excuse-maker. Whenever trouble shows up, they dodge responsibility and make excuses, only stepping forward when there’s an easy benefit for them.    * The Smooth Talker (猾 - Huá): A slippery politician type. They play all sides, keep their true opinions hidden, and never take a stand just to make sure they never lose.    * The Actor (诡 - Guǐ): A fake personality. They put on a complete act to hide what they’re really up to so you never know their real intentions.    * The Scammer (诈 - Zhà): A trap-setter. They actively lie and scheme to trick you out of your money or trust.    * The Backstabbing Opportunist (奸 - Jiān): A ruthless selfish operator. They have zero morals and will gladly break rules or betray friends the second money or power is on the line.    * The Brown-Noser (佞 - Nìng): A suck-up. They use non-stop flattery and sweet talk to get on your good side while secretly using you.
