The Brunei Darussalam Central Bank (BDCB) has issued a warning to the public regarding the proliferation of artificially generated fake news, cautioning that such content, often bearing BDCB’s name and logo, can mislead and deceive unsuspecting individuals.
These fake news are often posted on social media and use “clickbait headlines” to attract readers’ attention and deceive them into providing personal or financial information. They also often promote unlicensed financial products/services or deceive the victim into installing malicious applications on their electronic devices.
