Possible the terrible thing can also happen to iPhone, if we didn’t jail break it?

Referring to the last paragraph, the whole fiasco is getting crazier. It is not just SMS/call, recently someone posted on facebook claiming that after answering those suspicious call, they tried to call the number on the back of their debit/credit card, it directed to the scammer, and when they tried with another phone, it goes to the legit call centre.

nothing to do with malicious apk files and all these bull la at this point in time. There are already statements made by those impacted that they did not install or have clicked on any linked in emails etc.

Banks have to investigate if police says this is not in their purview to investigate. If not it's up to BNM to find out what is the issue.

For now.. you do what you need to safeguard your hard earned money. If banks does not strike confidence from their investors is their problem that people would not put more cash in banks moving forward.

Steps I've taken to protect myself.
- Only have less than 5k at one time in bank.
- Keep more in EPF which requires more manual intervention.
- Limit bank footprint. Have only 1-2 banks.
- If possible have overseas bank if you're able.
- Keep some in cryptos. You are your own bank.
- Keep in physical assets. gold/silver.

Other possiblities:
- Joint account which requires 2 person to remove cash.
- Put money in investment platforms that uses more secure 2FA authentication like 30secs codes i.e google authentication type of platform.
- Secure your email with Yubikey as recovery and Remove your phone number from Gmail recovery procedure.
