Jail for RSAF regular who targeted victims in phishing attacks to access their intimate images

SINGAPORE – A man targeted at least 22 victims in phishing attacks over the course of two years to access multiple women’s intimate images on their social media or cloud storage accounts for his own sexual gratification.

The prosecution said that, in several instances, he even reached out to the victims’ contacts by posing as the victims. He then asked these contacts for intimate images.He was released on bail but continued to commit a similar offence, targeting a woman in a phishing attack in January 2023 while he was under investigation.

Deputy Public Prosecutors Matthew Choo and Joshua Phang said in court documents: “The accused told victims that their intimate images had been posted onto social media sites. Login credentials they entered on the phishing page were captured by the website, and Eshwaran could then access them via a page on the portal titled “My Victims”.He entered e-mail addresses linked to his victims’ social media accounts into the illicit website, which generated a list of possible login credentials for these accounts.

In some instances, Eshwaran impersonated the social media account holders to ask their online contacts for intimate images. He targeted people he thought might have an intimate relationship with the account users.
