Cybercriminals continue to prey on Malaysian job-seekers. Here’s why.

If money motivates cybercriminals to trick, swindle and steal, then why are they targeting job-seekers who are supposedly income-less and are themselves in need of money? Job scams have been around for a long time. But it’s getting extra attention lately as Malaysians report receiving way more job invitations through text messages than ever before. These unsolicited job offers promise unbelievably generous earnings in exchange for seemingly easy work that is too tempting to not even try. Official statistics reveal that as of First Quarter 2022, there are 671.2 thousand unemployed Malaysians. According to a poll by a local university, about 66% of Malaysians are now keen on hybrid working environment due to pandemic concerns such as health and safety. For scammers, this is a goldmine they just wouldn’t miss taking advantage of. Personal information such as name, birthday, phone number, email address are already valuable — it can actually cost up to $10 on the dark web, according to Ka...

#MakeNightsEpic #withGalaxy in Your City

To inspire the Gen Zs to break the rules of low light photography and videography, Samsung’s newest flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S22 Series launches its newest campaign – urging everyone to #MakeNightsEpic #withGalaxy in your city with the Nightography starting today until 30th June 2022! There’s something magical about city at night – the excitement, spontaneity, and beauty of it make us love our city even more, and make us want to capture every priceless moment. But light can be hard to come by when you’re snapping away in places like dimly-lit pubs and restaurants or shadow-soaked streets. When capturing in low light, the results are always fuzzy and blurry. We often run across issues with light reflecting back into the camera lens, resulting in terrible lens flares and little light patches surrounding the light sources, such as street lights, being caught in photos. Thankfully, Samsung has built a new low-light camera experience with bigger pixel sensor, Adaptive Pixel technol...

Calling All Malaysians: #BringOurTurtlesBack Campaign Aims to Raise RM150,000 for Critical Turtle Conservation

Sea turtles have graced earth’s oceans for well over 100 million years, covering vast distances and playing a vital role in maintaining the balance of marine habitats. They are among the gentlest and most beautiful creatures on the planet, with the leatherback turtle even acting as the state icon of Terengganu, one of Malaysia’s hottest tourism spots. However, turtle sightings and beach nestings have dwindled considerably over the years. The once-iconic leatherback turtle is virtually non-existent to natives of Terengganu. Moreover, the overall number of sea turtles continue to dive to critically low numbers. Determined to address this issue, a group of impassioned Malaysians have banded together to launch a #BringOurTurtlesBack campaign. This campaign is a collaborative effort between The International SeaKeepers Society, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT), and Kapas Turtles. Local content and production house Pinang Films and 360 communications agency VoxEureka have also joined in ...
