Nov 9, 2018 - iPrice: Study on the Exponential Growth of Interest in the Singles' Day Sale Period

iPrice conducted a study to analyse the exponential growth of interest on the Singles’ Day (also known as the 11.11 Sale) event in Malaysia.

Though the event originated from China, the 11.11 Sale has found its way into local shores and have garnered a high number of interest from Malaysian consumers. As such, the study analyses the growth of interest of the sale event this year and also see how the top e-commerce players in Malaysia are promoting the event.

Here is a gist of our study:
  • According to Google, Singles’ Day has garnered much interest from Malaysians starting about more than two weeks from the event.
  • The announcement of the Digital Tax at the Budget 2019 event did not hamper Malaysians’ interest in Singles’ Day. In fact, searches for the event peaked a day after the Budget 2019 announcement.
  • Top e-commerce players has been introducing more unconventional sale features in order to stand out. Among them are big budget live shows across multiple platforms, tax free, flash sales and others in a bid to woo more buyers.

Nov 8, 2018 - Kaspersky : Your digital identity could be on sale for less than $50

A new study from Kaspersky Lab has revealed that while our identity may not be worth a lot in terms of dollars, it is a significant asset to criminals in other ways.

The research uncovered an appetite among cybercriminals for data stolen from popular services - including via social media accounts and remote access to gaming websites. User confusion about what their data is worth could result in a haphazard approach to security, making it all too easy for thieves to steal data and commit crime.

The most common way criminals steal this sort of data in the first place is via spear phishing campaigns or by exploiting a web related security vulnerability in an application's software. After a successful attack, the criminal gets password dumps which contain a combination of emails and passwords for the hacked services. And, with many people using the same password for several accounts, attackers might be able to use this information to access accounts on other platforms too.
