The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) has lodged a police report after finding — for the second time in three days — a duplicate of its website.

It assured the public in a Facebook post yesterday that access to its official website remains unaffected.

“There have also not been any reports of user data being compromised to date,” said the MOM statement. “We urge the public to only use the official MOM website at www.mom.gov.sg for all MOM matters.”

The ministry also cautioned the public to look out for small variations in the URLs they click on.

It noticed the first duplicate website — www.momgov.sg — last Thursday and lodged a police report the following day. The website was deleted at close to midnight on Friday.

The second duplicate website — www.movgov.sg — was found on Saturday. Titled “Ministry Of Workpermit”, it resembled the official MOM website in its layout, colour scheme and images used. The MOM’s logo and a Government insignia were also present.

Visitors to this duplicate site will be greeted with pop-ups informing them of incoming messages, or of being the 100,000th site visitor and inviting them to claim prizes.
