CNA: Former Miss Universe contestant gets jail for unauthorised online shopping using memorised card numbers

SINGAPORE: A Miss Universe Singapore 2017 contestant was given six weeks’ jail on Thursday (Feb 11) for using her friends’ debit card details to make unauthorised purchases after memorising them.

Ashley Rita Wong Kai Lin, a 27-year-old e-gaming commentator, had pleaded guilty in December to four charges under the Computer Misuse and Cybersecurity Act, with another 27 charges taken into consideration for sentencing. 

She targeted two friends in 2016 by memorising their debit card details when they were unaware, and later using the information to shop online. A third victim was included in a charge taken into consideration.
