Trend Micro launches Scam Radar tool to detect fraud in real time

Three in five residents have encountered scam attempts, and one in three say they’ve fallen victim, according to the firm.

Cybersecurity firm Trend Micro has rolled out a new AI-powered tool called Scam Radar in Singapore.

Integrated into its ScamCheck app, the feature offers round-the-clock monitoring to alert users of coordinated scam activity across SMS, websites, and messaging platforms.

According to Trend Micro’s 2025 online scams survey, three in five residents have encountered scam attempts, and one in three say they’ve fallen victim.

The study highlighted that all age groups are affected, not just seniors, with the so-called “sandwich generation” (aged 35–55) being particularly vulnerable due to time pressures and caregiving responsibilities.

The firm said Scam Radar analyses behavioural patterns and content cues to detect scams in progress—before users interact with them.

It also includes features like deepfake detection during video calls, screenshot scanning, SMS filtering, and privacy-first design, ensuring no data is stored.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
