IN support of the recently implemented SIM Registration Act, PLDT and Smart have intensified anti-cybercrime efforts to clamp down on illegal activities perpetrated over SMS and online platforms.

'The SIM Card Registration Law will help curb fraud and cybercrime as it will make it harder for criminals to buy SIMs anonymously. To expand on the government's effort, PLDT and Smart cyberwarriors are working 24/7 in blocking scams and fraudulent messages, as well as mobile accounts being used in criminal activities,' said Angel Redoble, first vice president and chief information security officer at PLDT and Smart.
