        "summary": "Indonesian state-owned enterprise PT TASPEN has warned its participants and the public about a rise in digital fraud schemes misusing the company's name. Scammers are employing increasingly sophisticated methods, including fake social media accounts, phishing links, and even artificial intelligence, to target pensioners. The company has urged the public to adopt a 'Hold, Verify, Report' approach and to only use official communication channels.",
        "content": "<p>PT TASPEN (Persero) is urging all participants and the public to\nincrease their vigilance against various modes of fraud carried out in\nthe company\u2019s name. These schemes continue to evolve, ranging from the\nuse of fake social media accounts, messages via WhatsApp, the spread of\nphishing links, forgery of official documents, to the exploitation of\nartificial intelligence (AI) technology. One recently discovered modus\noperandi involves the offer of a fund distribution programme for\npensioners through unofficial communication channels, which has the\npotential to mislead the public. Corporate Secretary of TASPEN, Henra,\nstated that participant protection is a top priority for the company\namidst the increasing variety of digital crime methods exploiting the\ncorporate name. \u2018TASPEN is consistently committed to protecting\nparticipants from various potential digital crimes that misuse the\ncompany\u2019s name. We urge participants and the public to always verify any\ninformation received and not to easily provide personal data to parties\nwhose legitimacy cannot be confirmed,\u2019 he said. Data from the Ministry\nof Communication and Digital shows that the national digital literacy\nindex stands at 3.54 on a scale of 5. Although this figure continues to\nshow improvement, the digital security aspect still needs strengthening\namid the evolving modes of cybercrime. Furthermore, data from the\nCentral Statistics Agency (BPS) and several studies indicate that the\nelderly demographic still faces challenges in understanding digital\nsecurity and verifying received information. This condition is a\nparticular concern given that the majority of TASPEN participants are\npensioners, making improved digital literacy a crucial step to protect\nthem from technology and digital media-based fraud. As a protective\nmeasure for participants, TASPEN urges the public to apply the \u2018Hold,\nVerify, Report\u2019 principle when responding to any information received.\nThe public is expected to refrain from immediately believing circulating\ninformation, verify its truth through official TASPEN channels, and\nreport any accounts or parties suspected of committing fraud. TASPEN\nfirmly states that the company never asks participants to pay any\nadministrative fees, send OTP codes, PINs, passwords, or other\nconfidential data to obtain services or programme benefits. TASPEN also\ninvites the public to obtain information exclusively through official\nchannels, including the TASPEN website, official social media accounts,\nthe Andal by Taspen application, TASPEN branch offices, and the TASPEN\nCall Centre at 1500 919. This preventive measure aligns with TASPEN\u2019s\ncommitment as a Centre of Excellence in social security, prioritising\nsecurity, transparency, and comfort for participants. With guaranteed\nsecurity and comfort, TASPEN demonstrates tangible support for President\nPrabowo Subianto\u2019s Asta Cita vision to improve the welfare and\nprotection of civil servants and state officials. TASPEN is committed to\nensuring that every participant\u2019s rights are fulfilled in a timely,\nsecure, and accountable manner through reliable services and sustainable\nprotection for all participants.<\/p>",
