Synopsis: This is a special-edition podcast series by The Straits Times to raise greater public awareness of the modern scourge of scams in Singapore and globally.

In Singapore, nearly $1 billion has been lost by scam victims since 2016. Mutating and spreading, different types of scams have infiltrated every aspect of our lives, from romance to work. The police are cracking down on offenders. What can you do to protect yourself?

In the series’ fifth episode, ST’s deputy news editor Andre Yeo, crime correspondent David Sun and journalist Jessie Lim speak with Mr Willis Lim, director of the National Cyber Threat Analysis Centre, the research division of the Cyber Security Agency (CSA) that oversees Singapore's cyber security strategy. Mr Lim talks about the ways cyber criminals identify potential victims and new scams the CSA is seeing in 2022. 

Mr Lim explains why the use of Singlish words, which are not commonly found in most dictionaries, makes it much harder for cyber criminals to crack your passwords. He also provides tips on how Singaporeans can protect themselves from tech support scams. 

Highlights (click/tap above):

08:49 How cyber criminals look for victims’ personal particulars online and on the Dark Web

09:36 Why Mr Willis Lim stopped his mother from throwing his phone bill into the dustbin 

11:10 Scams the Cyber Security Agency is seeing in 2022, such as phishing and tech support scams

20:30 How to set a strong password using Singlish and unique passphrases 

21:50 How tech support scams work and the steps you can take to protect yourself 

28:29 The dollar value of personal data stolen from data breaches

Synopsis: Every first and third Monday of the month, get our tips on working smarter, getting ahead in your career and investing like a pro with ST's business correspondents and editors.

They say the ones pitching against women at workplaces aren't men, but women who have crossed the bridge of success and decided to blow it up. Do such women exist and why? What are working women up against at the workplaces, and how should they navigate them? How do men feel about being the apex body that just cannot seem to win?  

In this episode, ST's senior correspondent Krist Boo hosts Professor Chong Sin Hui, assistant professor of organisational behaviour from Nanyang Technological University, and Mr Toh Keng Hoe - a corporate executive, a part-time lecturer, a Singapore Computer Society volunteer, and most pertinently... a man.

Highlights (click/tap):

04:00 What are Queen Bees and why do they exist?

10:08 Are women just pretty faces that sell solutions in the tech industry?

14:43  Man vs woman - if you win, I lose. Or is it?

18:09  What a man wishes a woman would do to help men support them

22:47 Ask-the-Expert: Can Singapore avoid quota-based gender policies?

Synopsis: The Straits Times examines the ins and outs of pop culture in the Asian entertainment and Hollywood scene.

The defamation suit between former Hollywood couple Johnny Depp and Amber Heard have put the ugly details of their marriage out for public scrutiny. The two stars were married briefly from 2015 to 2016, after dating for several years.

In 2018, Heard wrote an op-ed in The Washington Post saying that she "became a public figure representing domestic abuse" in 2016. Depp sued for defamation over this and alleged instead that Heard was abusive towards him.

The ensuing trial has become a media circus. Social media is flooded with memes, spliced and edited videos of the trial, pseudoscience analyses of Depp and Heard's body language and hashtags such as #JusticeForJohnnyDepp and #AmberHeardIsAPsychopath trending on Twitter. 

PopVultures host Jan Lee gives her thoughts on why the public reaction to the trial has been deeply troubling and how the whole saga has been mired with backlash over the #MeToo movement. 

Highlights (tap/click above): 

03:04 Introduction of the Depp-Heard relationship and defamation suits Depp has embarked on 

12:04 The disturbing memeification of the trial and why it needs to stop 

21:03 How #MeToo ties into the trial
