The Singapore Police Force has reported a massive scam impersonating Apple to steal cryptocurrency. At least five victims lost over 195,000 Singaporean dollars (nearly 130,000 euros) after being redirected to fake support websites (chat-apple.com, case-apple.com) and providing their Apple credentials and OTP codes during fraudulent calls from a +1 prefix number. The scheme relies entirely on social engineering: no technical vulnerability was exploited, as scammers simply used compromised Apple IDs to access iCloud keychains containing victims’ seed phrases. The city-state recorded over 51,000 scam cases in 2024 for approximately 1.1 billion Singaporean dollars stolen, a historic record.
