Cybercrime is now one of the most pressing threats our world has ever faced. In hyperconnected Singapore, online crimes like e-commerce scams, phishing attacks and malware infections accounted for more than a quarter of all criminal cases in 2019. And what’s perhaps surprising is that millennials and teenagers are becoming the ones most at risk.
Actress and host Ching Shu Yi ventures into the cyber underground and discovers how the very technology cyber criminals use to attack their victims is now being used to beat them at their own game. With a group of white hats and cyber sleuths as her guide, Shu Yi visits a dark web marketplace where stolen data is traded, and soon finds herself hacked, stalked and spied on by the electronic devices around her, from hidden drones to her own mobile phone.
