SINGAPORE: Twelve men allegedly linked to a money-laundering syndicate believed to be behind a recent spate of banking-related malware cases have been arrested.

On Thursday, the police said they had received numerous reports concerning banking-related malware cases from June to August 2023. They typically involve unauthorised transactions made from victims’ bank accounts, even though these victims did not share their one-time passwords (OTP) with anyone.
