    Mobile Malware Advisory for iOS users


    5 Mar 2024     - DBS Bank (Hong Kong) Limited (“The Bank”) would like to alert our customers and the public of the Mobile Malware Advisory for iOS users.

    Beware of scammers specifically targeting Apple iPhone and iPad users using mobile malware. This malware is designed to collect sensitive information (e.g. facial recognition data, identity documents etc) and intercept SMS messages. Scammers make use of this facial data, combined with ID documents and the ability to intercept SMS, to gain unauthorized access to the victim’s banking account.

    The scammers distribute this malware via TestFlight, Apple’s mobile application testing platform, or social engineer potential victims to install a Mobile Device Management Profile (MDM) which would allow the scammer complete control over the victim’s device and access to the victim’s banking account for unauthorized banking transactions.

    If you suspect that your device is infected by malware, do this immediately:

    • Turn on airplane mode on your phone or turn off your phone.
    • Call DBS immediately so we may help you.
    • Check and remove any suspicious MDM profiles by going to Settings > General > VPN & Device Management.
    • Verify that apps only have permissions that they should.


    To Protect Yourself:

    • Only download mobile apps from official app stores like Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
      • Official app stores have security measures to minimize your risk of installing a malicious app. However, always check the reviews and ratings of apps to ensure their trustworthiness. Never sideload apps from third-party websites, emails, SMSes, or social media. Be wary of MDM profiles and TestFlight application installations from unknown parties.

    • Pay attention to the permissions an app asks for and use a reputable mobile security software.
      • Think twice if an app requests accessibility permissions, full control over your device, or access to sensitive information like SMS and emails. These requests are often red flags for malicious activities. Consider using reputable mobile security software to detect and block any malicious apps or alert you to potential risks.


    If customers are concerned that they may have disclosed their personal information or have conducted any transactions through such channel, they should immediately contact the Police and DBS Bank (Hong Kong) Limited’s bogus calls enquiry hotline at (852) 2290 8345.

    SMS Sender Registration Scheme


    To help members of the public verify the identities of SMS senders, the Office of the Communications Authority, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the Hong Kong Police Force, the Hong Kong Association of Banks and the telecommunications industry have established the SMS Sender Registration Scheme. Starting from 28 Jan 2024, major banks in Hong Kong will only use Registered SMS Sender IDs with the prefix “#” to send one-way SMS to local mobile users.

    With effect from 28 Jan 2024, the sender address of one-way SMS sent by DBS will be replaced by four Registered SMS Sender IDs #DBSHK, #DBS-HK, #DBS.HK and #DBS_HK.

    Please note that the SMS Sender Registration Scheme is not applicable to:

    1. SMS messages of which receiving parties are expected to reply to the senders via phone numbers; or
    2. Local subscribers of Single-Card-Multiple-Numbers/One-Card-Two-Numbers mobile service provided by non-Hong Kong operators.

    Please stay highly vigilant when receiving SMS with sender ID not having the prefix "#", especially when such SMS is sent from an unknown sender. Under all circumstances, you must not disclose to unidentified senders any personal information, bank account numbers or credit card details, transfer money or access any hyperlink in the SMS, to avoid suffering any loss.

    For other information about the SMS Sender Registration Scheme, please visit the Office of the Communication Authority’s website (www.ofca.gov.hk/ssrs).
