There are a lot of options ( as to what ) people can do. Thus, this policy change, which was evidently implemented by ACRA much earlier than the rest of the government agencies, opens up a window of opportunity for computer crooks to seize the information.
In the world of computer crime, whether or not NRIC is still something that needs to be protected, whether or not it is a special identifier, or whether it is your full name, that really doesn’t matter. Basically, this information can be used and it has been used to really do evil and do harm.  ,
Crispina Robert, network:  ,
Allow me pick up on something you said, Aaron. I know you said that, cool this is quite surprising, but MDDI has  , said that,” Appearance, it’s kind of meaningless to face it because the algorithms are so superior”. Generally the scammers out that have become quite sophisticated…
I think what sits uncomfortably is that all this while, PDPA says don’t collect ( the ) full IC number, right? And then they’re saying, okay, the whole Circuit amount is not as resilient as we thought it was, or we first made it out to be. Is there a conflict between the scheme and the PDPA needs in any way?
Steve Tan, Rajah &, Tann Singapore:  ,
I mean, we can’t obscure the fact that through the years we’ve been definitely conditioned to the fact that, yes, we’ve got to address national identification numbers thoroughly because it’s eternal, and it in itself, is like your master key right, to opening lots of access to various platforms, data and stuff like that. And of course, then that MDDI’s declaration has changed ( with the press release on December 13 ), you should be aware of that. Therefore, PDPC released the transfer on December 14th, right? And the judge is not up yet, best?
If you read that launch properly, they’re focusing on identification, on password entry.
