Likely it is those whose phone numbers are also Paynow accts with OCBC are scamned
I suspect the Paynow accts phone numbers are either leaked or it is an inside job
Someone who knows the protocol well and so this scam is very targetted and hijacking the OCBC sms channel can be done within or through knowing the sms header weakness
Unlikely is a one man job, it is a syndicate

So many aspects were stand down during the convening of this scam
Like in 911 WTC, the jets were deployed away from Manhatten and Dick Cheney ordered a stand down during the attack!

But Paynow has quite a few banks participating in it. DBS, UOB, Stanchart, BOC, Citi, Maybank, CIMB, HSBC etc.
Strange that only OCBC kena.

Those promote what scanned and transact I tell them to F...k off. I see so many loopholes in civil service. I have no confidence in them. Now one thing I need to do is to cancel my debit card with UOB. It can be used for $200 transaction without keying pin. If you drop it that's it.
