Leave a comment

Touch ‘n Go Digital (TNGD) is making the Touch ‘n Go eWallet even more feature-packed with a new partnership with Amanah Saham Nasional Berhad (ASNB).

The partnership brings ASNB investment management to users’ fingertips. Existing ASNB unitholders will be able to manage their investments without the need to physically visit a branch or agent. The ASNB dashboard on Touch n’ Go Wallet will enable users to check their portfolio performance and make new investments at any time. It also allows users to view a breakdown of ASNB’s units trusts, review their 5 latest transactions for each invested fund, subscribe to new funds and invest in current funds. Users will also be able to manage their dependent’s account on the dashboard.

How To Access ASNB On Your Touch 'n Go eWallet

New unitholders will be able to access the same dashboard after completing the online registration and onboarding process on the myASNB app. This separation is due to the need to use ASNB’s internal eKYC system for onboarding. However, once the process is completed, all future transactions and account management can be done on the Touch n’ Go eWallet app.

ASNB unit trusts are available to Malaysians from birth. Newborn accounts need to be opened in person over the counter or at any ASNB Kiosk while those 18 years or older simply need to do it online via the myASNB app. These unit trusts are categorised into two categories: Fixed Price Funds and Variable Price Funds.

WashMe Holdings Revolutionizes the Car Wash Industry by Partnering Up with HokuApps and inkbyte to Build a Cutting-Edge Mobile App Which Gives Customers The Ability To Wash Their Cars At Any Partner Wash In The WashMe Network.

Leave a comment

WashMe Holdings is a pioneer in the car wash space, building the first nationwide car wash membership platform using a multi-branded network of independent and franchise-owned car wash locations in the United States, and soon beyond. WashMe has quickly built their “Partner Wash Network” to over 70+ locations, across 13 states, seamlessly integrating platforms with each brand and location. WashMe offers access to a wide variety of car wash types, from full-service to express, soft touch to touchless, all with one membership at one low price. This convenience at an affordable price makes the WashMe membership and Partner Wash Network, the way of the future in the car wash industry.  

FLORAHOME, Fla., Aug. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — WashMe Holdings, Inc. partnered with inkbyte LLC, a full service creative agency and HokuApps, a global player in the next-generation of enterprise mobility solutions, to build and deploy a robust one stop solution that allows them to serve their customers digitally wherever they are. WashMe Holdings stands out as the first national car wash network. By using the WashMe app, customers can now have any vehicle they own, including family cars, company cars, and rental cars, washed at any Partner Wash across the country, rather than being limited to just single brand car wash. All of this is available at a single, affordable monthly fee. WashMe Holdings utilized HokuApps’ low code platform to develop a centralized booking management system that is inclusive of functions such as viewing nearby Partner Wash locations and their ratings, transaction history, referrals, membership profile and benefits, QR codes, notifications and alerts as well as providing reporting capabilities. 
 
inkbyte is a renowned full-service creative agency located in the United States that specializes in devising innovative approaches to enhance their clients’ Brand Voice. They focus is on identifying the underlying factors that motivate consumer behavior for their clients. inkbyte offers WashMe a wide range of services, such as brand identity, strategy, web design, creative design, print, and signage. 
 
By deploying this application, WashMe Holdings provides their customers with digital access to their services anytime, anywhere while also improving operational efficiency. This marks a groundbreaking development as it is the first time any organization has attempted to overcome technical challenges associated with such an implementation. As a result, a membership created at one car wash brand cannot be validated at another, causing customers to hold multiple memberships. Adding to the complexity, each car wash has a different entry mechanism, ranging from key codes to bar codes, manual entry, and NFC taps. WashMe Holdings and inkbyte teamed up with HokuApps to overcome industry challenges, enabling customers to access any car wash with a single membership, a feat never before accomplished in the industry.  

“Thanks to HokuApps’ state of the art technology, we are able to deliver innovative digital solutions to our customers, granting them quick access to car wash services right at their fingertips. We are able to work towards our goal all while retaining full control over the user experience that we wanted to create,” said Patrick Osredker & Denny Axman, Owners and Co-Founders at WashMe Holdings.

Email-based Phishing Attacks Up 464% in H1 2023

Leave a comment
Acronis Mid-Year Cyberthreats Report

Acronis has published its Mid-Year Cyberthreats Report, revealing concerning trends in the cybersecurity landscape. The report highlights a 464% increase in email-based phishing attacks in the first half of 2023 compared to the previous year.

Cybercriminals are increasingly using generative artificial intelligence (AI) systems like ChatGPT to craft malicious content and conduct cyberattacks. Acronis states that ransomware remains a dominant threat to small and medium-sized businesses. This is mainly due to attackers leveraging AI-created malware to avoid detection by traditional antiviruses.

The cyberattack landscape is evolving

Acronis Mid Year Cyberthreats Report Top 5 Trends

In the report, Acronis also emphasizes the increasing sophistication of cyberattacks. These attacks utilize AI and existing ransomware code to penetrate victims’ systems and extract valuable data, making detection more challenging. Cybercriminals use public AI models to find source code vulnerabilities and develop attacks (including deep fakes).

Additionally, the study shows that phishing is the primary method cybercriminals use to steal login credentials. The use of large language model-based AI platforms has enabled cybercriminals to create, automate, and scale new attacks more efficiently. The report reveals a growing number of data stealers who exploit stolen credentials to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.

Breaches demonstrate major security concerns

Artboard 8 copy 3@3x

Acronis points out some major security concerns that contribute to successful breaches, including a lack of strong security solutions to detect zero-day vulnerabilities, delayed updates of vulnerable software, and inadequate protection for Linux servers. Moreover, some organizations fail to follow proper data backup protocols, which can lead to severe consequences during attacks.

Acronis encourages companies to take a proactive stance in cyber protection. A comprehensive cybersecurity posture requires a multi-layered solution that combines various security measures. This includes anti-malware, email security, vulnerability assessments, backup capabilities and more. The report also includes steps that companies can take to increase their cyber protection:

ViewSonic Presents the 4th ColorPro Awards: “RISE” to New Heights in Photography and Videography

Leave a comment

BREA, Calif., Aug. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — ViewSonic Corp[i], a leading global provider of visual solutions, is thrilled to announce the launch of the 4th ColorPro Awards. A celebration of artistic expression and innovation, this year’s global visual arts competition takes the theme of “RISE,” inviting participants to soar to new creative heights as they capture their moments of transformation. This year’s edition widens its creative scope beyond photographs to embrace videos as well, offering new possibilities for creatives to express their vision. From August 15th to September 24th, 2023, participants can submit their entries to compete for prizes exceeding US$20,000 in value. Additionally, participants can take part in the Social Media Lucky Draw for a chance to win the ColorPro VP2756-2k monitor.

The theme “RISE” symbolizes transformative power, inviting participants to explore narratives of growth, achievement, empowerment, and resilience within. Whether conveyed through striking photographs or compelling videos, the theme offers artists a platform to captivate and inspire their audience with their visual storytelling. Notably, industry leaders SHOOTERS, PANTONE®, Capture One, Calibrite, and Shoot The Frame will collaborate, not only to host workshops and promotional activities during the Awards, but also as esteemed members of the judging panel.

“Last year, we achieved a remarkable breakthrough by transforming the ColorPro Awards into a global visual arts competition, welcoming more partners and creators into our vibrant global community,” stated Oscar Lin, General Manager of the Monitor Business Unit at ViewSonic. “As we venture into the 4th ColorPro Awards with the new theme ‘RISE’ and the introduction of the Videography category, we aim to inspire and empower creators worldwide to pursue their moments of transformation, urging them to explore uncharted territories and achieve their artistic ‘RISE.'”

Alongside the cash prize, winners will receive top-of-the-line ViewSonic ColorPro monitors, specially designed for creative professionals seeking true color accuracy and remarkable performance. Winners will also receive a suite of products and memberships designed to optimize their creative workflows. These include Capture One perpetual licenses, color management products courtesy of PANTONE® and Calibrite, and exclusive memberships from Shoot The Frame.

A distinguished panel of internationally acclaimed photographers and videographers will meticulously review the submissions, ensuring impartiality and acknowledging excellence in artistic expression.  The submitted artwork will be evaluated by the panel considering its storytelling, aesthetics, creativity, relevance to the awards theme, and technical execution.

Amongst the panel are four ColorPro ambassadors and creators, invited to share their narratives of “RISE.” Luke Stackpoole captures the theme through awe-inspiring photography of natural wonders, as seen from his drone during his global explorations. Photographer Jack Harding associates the concept of “RISE” with a shoot in Madeira, Portugal. Following a four-day wait for clear weather, the sunshine ignited the clouds, painting the sky with stunning colors and casting a beautiful light over the landscape. Requiring patience, this precise moment marked the culmination of the shoot.

Filmmaker JustKay presents his unique perspective on rising against the odds and confronting the unknown. His compelling short film “Take a Leap of Faith” vividly captures the turning point of his life when he chose not to attend college, bravely abandoning the conventional path to pursue his dream wholeheartedly. Echoing the theme of “RISE,” filmmaker Alice Greenfield beautifully intertwines her love for swimming with her narrative. She conveys the solace she finds in the ocean – a rejuvenating space that clears her mind and empowers her to rise and face each day with renewed vigor.

ViewSonic ColorPro aims to inspire and encourage artistic growth worldwide. Through offering a platform for creators to share their unique visions, ColorPro provides a space for artistic expression to flourish.

5G Finally Comes to Maxis Users with New Plans

Leave a comment

Maxis subscribers rejoice! You can finally access 5G connectivity thanks to the new plans being rolled out today. The plans come after more than a year of Maxis holding out on signing the Access Agreement with Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB). In fact, the plans are literally being rolled out the day after an EGM with shareholders yesterday.

Maxis 5G

The new plans come with even more data and at more affordable prices than the previous ONE plans. Users who opt for these plans can access data up to 30 times faster on DNB’s 5G network with perks like access to new devices through Maxis’s Zerolution plans.

The All New Maxis Postpaid with 5G

Maxis’s commercial offerings are getting a total revamp. Brand new plans starting at MYR75 will be available to customers. New sign-ups can only opt for these plans while older Maxis ONE users will be able to upgrade via the Maxis app.

The all-new Maxis Postpaid plans start at MYR79 a month for 80GB of data on both 4G and 5G with an additional 40GB exclusively for use on 5G. A step up will get you 100GB for MYR109 with 50GB of additional 5G data. MYR139 gets you 120GB with an additional 60GB of 5G data while MYR169 gets you 150GB of data with an additional 75GB of 5G data. Maxis’s postpaid offerings cap out at MYR199 for 200GB of data with a 100GB additional 5G data. All the new plans come with unlimited SMS and calls.

Maxis Postpaid with 5G

Supplementary Lines & Maxis Family Plan Users

Users who are on Maxis’s supplementary lines will automatically get 5G access when the principal line is upgraded to the new 5G plans.

However, if you’re on the family plan, it doesn’t look like Maxis is updating their plans for 5G just yet. Instead, you’ll need to activate your 5G pass which will set you back MYR10 a month. Activating the pass does not get you any additional 5G data quota. It simply allows you access to 5G connectivity provided you have a supported device.

This activation is also done on a per-line basis, so for the Family Plan for 4 which costs MYR299 for 4 lines, you will need to fork out an additional MYR40 for 5G access on all your lines. The only consolation is that your first month is free.

Maxis Business Postpaid

Maxis business postpaid customers will benefit from the same plans as the regular Postpaid plans. In addition, they will be getting additional productivity data of up to 100GB and access to digital marketing solutions in their company subscription plans. New business postpaid customers and customers who opt to upgrade to the 5G plans can take advantage of an MYR10 rebate for up to 12 months.

Hotlink subscribers will be able to take advantage of a bevvy of new plans offered on both Hotlink Postpaid and Hotlink Prepaid. The plans not only come with perks like “roam like home” which gives you access to your home data quota in Thailand and Singapore and a MYR60 rebate spread across six months.

Hotlink 5G Plans 2

The new Hotlink Postpaid plans come with highspeed 5G internet access and unlimited calls and SMS. The new plans start at MYR30 for 2GB of internet and cap out at MYR70 for 70 GB. The highest tier – Hotlink Postpaid 70 – comes with an additional 35GB of 5G quota.

On the prepaid side of things, users can opt to choose from a wide selection of new 5G-enabled plans that come along with additional features like Hotspot connectivity, and cashback as part of the Malaysian Government’s Pakej Belia initiative. Plans start at MYR3 a day for 3GB of data. The monthly passes come in at MYR45 a month and MYR60 a month. the MYR45 pass comes with 50GB of data with a bonus 25GB of 5G data while the MYR60 pass comes with 70GB of data and a bonus 30GB of 5G data. The latter also comes with Roam from Home capabilities unlocking data connectivity in Thailand, Indonesia and Singapore with the same quota.

Hotlink 5G Plans 1

There are also monthly “Unlimited” plans available for Hotlink Prepaid users which offer speed-limited access to 5G. The MYR55 pass gives you 100GB of data after which your speed is capped at 12Mbps while the MYR45 gives you 80GB beyond which your speed is capped at 6Mbps.
