Kaspersky Lab Tips On Staying Safe While Shopping Online!

Here is a short guide by the Kaspersky Lab team on how to stay safe while shopping online during the holiday sales, whether it’s for Black Friday, Cyber Monday or Christmas! Bookmark it for reference, and share this with your friends!

 

Kaspersky Lab Tips On Staying Safe While Shopping Online!

Why Is This Important?

14 families of malware targeting 67 different popular consumer brands around the world were recently detected. It caused the exposure of a large amount of client emails from a popular online shop.

Emails may seem a small matter but this sort of information is in fact precious to scammers. Any personal data can be used by cybercriminals to target their victims.

Increase in the share of financial phishing in the last years

How Do Scammers Compromise Your Personal Data?

If a company is compromised and scammers get hold of customer’s email addresses, they can create an automatized spam mailout that mimics an authentic email. This would entice users to follow a malicious link or download a malicious file onto their devices.

What Should You Do?

Be very careful as we head into the holiday sales season, from Black Friday till Christmas and Boxing Day sales – the busiest time of the year. Do not compromise your bank accounts by following a phishing link and entering your bank credentials. Research shows that malware designed to steal data from online banking and payment accounts has extended its reach to target online shoppers.

Amazon sent out a warning as soon as the leak was exposed. And, although Amazon’s actions have been criticized for a lack of technical detail and a recommendation not to change users passwords, it’s great that company’s representative’s didn’t hesitate to warn their customers about possible threats, asking them to be on the lookout to minimize possible damage,” said Tatyana Sidorina, security researcher at Kaspersky Lab.

Tips On Staying Safe While Shopping Online

To keep yourself safe from fraudsters while shopping online during this holiday season, Kaspersky Lab recommends taking the following precautionary measures:

  • Always check the link address and the sender’s email to find out if they are genuine before clicking anything – very often phishers create URLs and e-mails that are are very similar to the authentic addresses of big companies, yet differ from them with one or two letters.
  • To make sure you follow a correct link, do not click on it, but type it into your browser’s address line instead.
  • Do not enter your credit card details in unfamiliar or suspicious sites and always double-check the webpage is genuine before entering any personal information (at least take a look at the URL). Fake websites may look just like the real ones.
  • If you think that you may have entered your data into a fake page, don’t hesitate. Change your passwords and pin-codes ASAP. Use strong passwords consisting of different symbols.
  • Never use the same password for several websites or services, because if one is stolen, all of your accounts will be put at risk. To create strong hack-proof passwords without having to face the struggle of remembering them, use a password manager such as Kaspersky Password Manager.
  • To ensure that no one penetrates your connection to invisibly replace genuine websites with fake ones, or intercept your web traffic, always use a secure connection – only use secure Wi-Fi with strong encryption and passwords, or apply VPN solutions that encrypt the traffic. For example, Kaspersky Secure Connection will switch on encryption automatically, when the connection is not secure enough.

The Exclusive Galaxy Note9 Upgrade Program

This Yearly Upgrade Program is limited to customers in Malaysia who purchase a new Galaxy Note9 (direct from Samsung Malaysia) from 14 September until 2 December 2018. They will have the option of paying RM 100 extra for the following benefits :

  • automatic 10% discount on the Samsung Galaxy Note10 in 2019!
  • FREE 5,000 Samsung Reward Points
  • one month FREE instalment (if purchased with Easy Payment Plan),
    OR Samsung Protection Plus worth RM 298.

Now, let us break it down for you why this exclusive Galaxy Note9 Upgrade Program is such a good deal!

 

Why The Galaxy Note9 Upgrade Program Is A Great Deal!

First, take a look at this infographic on what you will actually get when you pay RM 100 to join this Galaxy Note9 Upgrade Program.

  1. Samsung Reward Points are worth RM 1 for every 40 points, so the 5,000 Samsung Reward Points are worth RM 125 – MORE than what you pay to join the upgrade program!
  2. The one-month instalment waiver is really a 8.33% discount on your new Galaxy Note9. That is worth RM 308.25 for the 128 GB model, and RM 383.25 for the 512 GB model.
  3. If you choose to pay in full (either in cash of 1-time credit card payment), you will receive the Samsung Protection Plus plan, which adds another year of warranty plus a display replacement at minimal service charge. That is worth RM 298.
  4. The 10% discount on the future Samsung Galaxy Note series is worth at least RM 369.90 to RM 459.90, and that’s assuming it’s not going to cost more.

In total, you stand to gain between RM 792.90 and RM 803.15 in benefits with this program. Your net benefit after deducting the RM 100 fee – RM 692.90 (full payment in cash or 1-time credit card payment) or RM 703.15 (with EPP). For your convenience, we created this to summarise it all for you!

This is why we strongly urge you to take up the Galaxy Note9 Yearly Upgrade Program if you are purchasing a Galaxy Note9 (direct from Samsung Malaysia) between now and 2 December 2018!

We also advocate that you take up the Easy Payment Plan (EPP) which lets you repay in twelve interest-free instalments, the first of which will be waived by this program. In fact, you stand to save almost RM 950 with the EPP plan!

The Samsung Galaxy Note9 Price + Availability

  • 8 GB + 256 GB : £999

In some countries (e.g. Malaysia), it will only be offered in Midnight Black and Metallic Copper with a matching S Pen, and Ocean Blue with a Yellow S Pen. There is also a Lavender Purple colour option that is available in certain countries. Samsung may eventually introduce it at a later date to the rest of the world.

Samsung Galaxy Note9 Offer + Promotion Guide

Samsung is never one to rest their laurels, so you can expect them to introduce regular offers and promotions to keep the pressure on their competitors. Let’s start with a look at the great Galaxy Note9 pre-order offers that quickly sold out!

The Samsung Galaxy Note9 Pre-Order Offers (Ended)

  • Samsung Galaxy Note9 (512 GB) : FREE Gifts worth RM 1,530 (Gear Sport smartwatch, Gear Sport Strap and Wireless Charger Pad)
  • Samsung Galaxy Note9 (128 GB) : FREE Gear Sport smartwatch worth RM 1,219

1. Samsung Galaxy Note9 Mystery Box (Ended)

Those who bought the Samsung Galaxy Note9 (US | MY Web | MY App) early got a nice surprise when they started to use Samsung Pay. They immediately received a Mystery Box containing a gift voucher or Samsung Points.

2. Free Starbucks Beverage (Ended)

Early purchasers of the Samsung Galaxy Note9 (US | MY Web | MY App) also received a free drink from Starbucks! Although the promotion was slated to end on 30 September 2018, it probably ended early due to the overwhelming response. If you did not get your free Grande-sized Starbucks drink, there’s no harm checking your Samsung Members app, just in case it is still available…

3. No Increase From SST (Ongoing)

This is not a Galaxy Note9 promotion per se. It applies to all Samsung mobile devices – smartphones, tablets and wearables. Samsung will absorb the 5% SST (Sales and Service Tax) on the purchase of those mobile devices. Great news!

4. Samsung Galaxy Note9 Yearly Upgrade Program (Ongoing)

  • FREE 5,000 Samsung Reward Points (worth RM 125)
  • one month FREE instalment (if purchased with Easy Payment Plan), OR Samsung Protection Plus worth RM 298.

As you can tell, this is a great offer as the 5,000 Samsung Reward Points are already worth MORE than what you pay to join the upgrade program. In fact, the whole deal gives you 7X what you pay into it! Read our detailed analysis @ Why The Galaxy Note9 Yearly Upgrade Program Is Such A Great Deal!

5. Samsung Galaxy Note9 512GB Ocean Blue Pre-Order (Ended)

The Samsung Galaxy Note8 Promotion & Roadshow

Kuala Lumpur, 18 September 2017 – Since its official unveiling in New York, interest in the Galaxy Note8, Samsung’s brand new flagship, has been sky-high. Pre-orders for the device saw tremendous response and although that is now over, Samsung Malaysia Electronics will continue its celebration of the Galaxy Note8’s impending arrival to Malaysian shores.

 

The Samsung Galaxy Note8 Roadshow

To celebrate the official launch of the Galaxy Note8 in Malaysia, Samsung invites you to be a part of a nationwide roadshow where consumers will have the opportunity to own the ultimate productivity device along with exclusive Galaxy Note8 promotion and deals!

From the 21st until 24th of September 2017, Samsung invites all Galaxy fans and tech enthusiasts to Do Bigger Things with the Galaxy Note8 firsthand at various locations across the country. Several roadshows will be ongoing at three locations simultaneously, at Pavilion (Kuala Lumpur), Gurney Plaza (Penang) and AEON Tebrau City (Johor Bahru). The roadshow queue at Pavilion (Kuala Lumpur) will start at 11am onwards, while the sales of the Galaxy Note8 will officially begin at 12pm. The roadshows at Penang and Johor Bahru will commence from 10am onwards.

For every purchase of a Galaxy Note8 during this 4-day celebratory period, customers of the roadshow will receive a free Samsung Gear VR worth RM499 and free Samsung Screen Protection worth RM149 that allows for a one-time cracked screen replacement (excluding Service Fee).

A bonus exclusive to the Pavilion (Kuala Lumpur) roadshow, the first 100 customers to purchase the brand new Galaxy Note8 will receive the opportunity to meet Running Man star Song Ji-Hyo on stage in person and collect a free Clear View Standing Cover autographed by the star herself.

Adding on to the fiesta, Samsung is taking the opportunity to reward Galaxy Note8 fans through Samsung Pay and mySamsung! For Samsung Pay, simply activate the app by provisioning a credit or debit card to redeem RM10 Petronas fuel voucher. Fans of the mySamsung app are also in for a treat thanks to complimentary goodies from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Clinique, Honest Bee, Air Asia, Agoda and Zalora!

 

Galaxy Note8 Promotion @ Samsung Experience Stores

Galaxy fans outside of the roadshow vicinity can also enjoy great deals during the roadshow period. Just head over to the nearest Samsung Experience Stores and enjoy exclusive bank promotion of 3x Maybank Treats Points and receive a free Dual Port Car Charger worth RM89 for every purchase of the Galaxy Note8 via Maybank 0% Ezy Pay Plan for a period of 12 and 24 months.

That’s not all, as Samsung is offering a special purchase-with-purchase offer for its Smart Care package. New Galaxy Note8 owners looking to further protect their device can purchase either the Samsung Protection (Promotion Price: RM88, RRP: RM149) with a one-time cracked screen replacement within the warranty period; or the Samsung Protection Plus (Promotion Price: RM238, RRP: RM298) that offers an additional 1-year warranty extension on top of the standard warranty and a one-time cracked screen replacement.

Samsung recently introduced the Galaxy Note8, the next level Note for people who want to do bigger things. With the Galaxy Note8, consumers get a larger Super AMOLED Infinity Display that fits comfortably in one hand, an enhanced S Pen to communicate in more personal ways, and Samsung’s first ever dual rear cameras to capture stunning photos. The Galaxy Note8 is designed for the way consumers lead their lives and lean on technology today.

Digi just launched Digi Freedom to Internet, offering more value, convenience and exclusive services. But there are not one, or two, but FOUR Digi Freedom propositions. Confused? We summarise the new Digi Freedom to Internet offers, so you know what exactly they mean for you!

 

The Digi Freedom to Internet Offers

First, let us remind you that freedom is NOT free – Digi is not giving away anything free. What they’re offering is a clearer, easier way to manage your costs while getting the services you want at a lower cost.

In this video, Digi’s Head of Digital Product & Services, Prashant Pathmanaban, and Benjamin Tan, Digi’s Head of Postpaid, gives an in-depth presentation of the Digi Freedom to Internet offers. There is even a hilarious short video starring pindaPanda!

Digi Freedom to Internet consists of four “Freedom propositions” – Music Freedom, Video Freedom, Gaming Freedom and Roaming Freedom.

Music Freedom

All Digi Postpaid and Prepaid customers, who have been with the company for at least six months, will receive an upgrade of their Music Freedom quota – from 1 GB to 5 GB. This is the music streaming quota monthly for music streaming services such as Spotify, Joox and Smule.

Video Freedom

[adrotate group=”2″]

For only RM 5 per month, Digi customers can buy 5 GB of video streaming quota to get access to and watch premium TV series and movies on Viu. Digi will offer launch a similar offer for iflix and Tonton very soon.

Gaming Freedom

Digi Postpaid and Prepaid customers can now purchase in-game items for their favourite Steam and Garena game titles, such as League of Legends, Dota 2, Counter-Strike and FIFA, without debit or credit cards. With Gaming Freedom, they can simply choose to pay through their Digi accounts.

Digi will also offer exclusive gaming offers like unique collectible top-up cards, in-game items, as well as access to top gaming events. Their first gaming offer – a series of League of Legends collectible top-up cards will be offered for sale beginning 1st July 2017.

Roaming Freedom
