PR - Mar 26, 2018 - Quann Malaysia: Beware Potential Cybersecurity Threat in Clickbait Links on Malaysian Election
Quann Malaysia (formerly known as e-Cop Malaysia), a leading regional managed cyber security services provider, urged Malaysians to be prepared for a rise in Clickbait Phishing links that could potentially be a cybersecurity threat during the upcoming 14th Malaysian General Elections (GE14).
Ivan Wen, General Manager of Quann Malaysia says, “When a news sounds too good to be true, it is likely fake news.
However, the masses still fall for these and this is how Clickbait phishing sites or emails with attachments are often sent with sensational titles that bait users to click links for ‘Exclusive’ or ‘Shocking’ stories.
Once clicked, users are led to a phishing site that tricks victims into giving their personal data such as email addresses, identity card numbers, and even credit card information. These could compromise critical financial information. These phishing emails can also launch ransomware attacks that encrypt important information on the device. In a worst-case scenario, this can become a national threat.”
“Besides that, these phishing links could automatically be shared with your contacts once they have access to your device, potentially putting your contacts at harm,” Wen adds.

With Patient Zero Detection, Berjaya is able to immediately identify recipients of infected messages and mitigate the impact of ransomware attacks on its enterprise network once it has been infiltrated by malware. By delivering instant alerts upon discovering malware in attachments or phishing mechanisms in emails, Retarus Patient Zero Detection enables Berjaya’s IT administrators to stop malware or data breaches from wreaking further havoc across the entire organisation.

McAfee, the device-to-cloud cybersecurity company, today released its McAfee Labs Threats Report: March 2018, examining the growth and trends of new malware, ransomware, and other threats in Q4 2017. McAfee Labs saw on average eight new threat samples per second, and the increasing use of fileless malware attacks leveraging Microsoft PowerShell. The Q4 spike in Bitcoin value prompted cybercriminals to focus on cryptocurrency hijacking through a variety of methods, including malicious Android apps.
“The fourth quarter was defined by rapid cybercriminal adoption of newer tools and schemes—fileless malware, cryptocurrency mining, and steganography. Even tried-and-true tactics, such as ransomware campaigns, were leveraged beyond their usual means to create smoke and mirrors to distract defenders from actual attacks,” said Raj Samani, McAfee Fellow and Chief Scientist. “Collaboration and liberalized information-sharing to improve attack defenses remain critically important as defenders work to combat escalating asymmetrical cyberwarfare.”
