Twitter pun kena SPAM

2010-06-13T23:12:00.000-07:00

Spammers on Twitter Rampage

by Jonathan Leopando (Technical Communications, Trend Micro Inc.)

14^th June 2010, Kuala Lumpur - Spammers seem to be on something of a Twitter rampage of late. They have sent out a wide variety of spammed messages recently that all appear to be from Twitter:

The first mail sample shows a phishing attack mounted against users. The second contains links to a malicious file that is already detected as TROJ_FAKETWT.A.

Even pharmaceutical spammed messages are exploiting Twitter:

All of these attacks are dealt with by Trend Micro products via the Smart Protection Network™. The spammed messages and the phishing pages are already blocked. The malicious file is already detected as well.

For users without Trend Micro products, the usual warning about links in email messages applies—clicking links in emails is a very bad idea. Twitter does not send links to a secure module. Similarly, legitimate Twitter emails changing the email address of user accounts include the new email address in the message body and do not describe nor promote any new service, as many of these phishing emails do.

Of course, Twitter itself, beyond being a social-engineering bait, has something of a spam and phishing problem. On their official blog, they have announced that later this year, all links in Tweets will pass through Twitter’s own internal link shortened, which is located at http://t.co. This particular service turns out shortened links with a fixed length of 20 characters.

What’s more important, however, is how these links will be presented. On text messages, the shortened version will be shown. On the Web or on applications, however, either the full URL, the page title, or a shortened version that does not hide the domain might be shown. As Twitter says in its blog:

Ultimately, we want to display links in a way that removes the obscurity of shortened links and lets you know where a link will take you.

It will be interesting to see how both Twitter and the many available applications make use of this information. Some clients have similar features already but as this tends to be reliant on the shortening service used it is not always available. When this feature is finally implemented, it can only be a good thing for users.

ING adopts Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0

2006-04-17T03:04:00.000-07:00

In a move that validates its commitment to continuously deliver enhanced customer service, ING Insurance Berhad today signed a memorandum of understanding with Microsoft (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd to deploy Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0. The move makes ING the first organisation in any industry in Malaysia to deploy this new business solution, strengthening its competitive advantage in its sector, and reinforcing its commitment to customer service excellence.
Rien Hermans, Executive Vice President, Retail Financial Services at ING Insurance Berhad said, “Being customer-focused has always been, and still is, a way of life in ING, and we strongly believe in leveraging technology to give us the edge in our effort towards customer service excellence.”
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0, the newly-launched CRM solution with additional functionalities that allow for increased business productivity and performance, will be deployed to all frontline customer services within ING by October 2006. Easy to install and smoothly integrated across ING’s business processes, Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 will enable ING to achieve its vision of having a one stop service centre known as ING One Service, to set new standards in excellent customer service to its policyholders and potential clients.
“Deploying Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 will allow us to have one view of the customer, in say, customer interaction and service request status. This then enables us to react and serve their needs better and more efficiently,” said Hermans. “Our customers can expect consistent service levels, regardless of the customer touch points they come in contact with.
“We appreciate the power of technology as a business enabler, and even more so, with the right technology that is suitable for ING’s current infrastructure,” Hermans explained. “Hence, our decision to deploy Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0.
“Microsoft products have a de facto stamp of approval in the industry. We are confident that we can deliver superior customer service with the help of Microsoft technology,” he added.
“We’re very excited about the additional benefits on our business and customer relationship management practices. We are expecting to use this new technology as the tool to reengineer our processes system by creating the ‘one view of our customer’ through ING One Service which allows different operational and servicing units in the Company to access related enquiries and service transactions of the customer all under one system.’’
As one of the leading insurance companies in Malaysia, ING’s mission is to set the standards in financial services and to date has achieved several milestones towards this goal.
Chris Yong, Director, Business Marketing Organisation at Microsoft Malaysia, said, “We’re proud to have a leading insurance provider as our first customer for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 in Malaysia.
“Whether you are a small business or a large enterprise, Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 is focused on providing the right level of functionality to meet the real world challenges of a wide range of organisations.
“We all wish for solutions that are easy to install, deploy; don’t require extensive training to use; can leverage their current IT platform and infrastructure; and maximise their return on IT investment. And we now have them,” Yong remarked.

Autodesk design competition reveals high competency among ASEAN manufacturing designers

2006-04-17T02:53:00.000-07:00

Technology that facilitates the transformation of big ideas into physical reality will herald a new era of design excellence in Asia, according to judges for the ASEAN leg of the Autodesk Asia Pacific Design Competition 2005 organized by Autodesk, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSK).
The competition, which ran from September through December 2005, saw entries from working professionals, companies, and tertiary students across the Philippines, Singapore and Malaysia. Participants submitted original designs based on three categories – Manufacturing Design, Civil Design, and Building Design. Entries were judged on design and technical excellence, creativity and innovation, and business impact.
“Asian designers are highly creative and have the unique ability to marry innovative thinking with the practicalities of market demand. This was a key aspect that shone out during the judging process,” said competition judge Dr Stephen K. Wittkopf of the Department of Architecture, School of Design and Environment, National University of Singapore.
“Asia is poised to take the lead in becoming a global powerhouse for creating and designing some of the world’s most successful products, the tallest buildings and the longest bridges,” said André Pravaz, Autodesk’s Vice President for South Asia Pacific. “Autodesk understands the value of turning great ideas into reality, and we hope this competition gives ASEAN designers the due recognition, and motivation needed to bring them to the next stage.”
Participants were provided with free, trial software of Autodesk’s latest family of cutting-edge 3D design solutions - Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk Civil 3D, or Autodesk Revit Building – to help turn their ideas into 3D virtual representations for the competition submissions.
First time entrant from Malaysia, Jaafar Hamdan, won second prize in the manufacturing design category. He designed an assembly line for printers that is used in his company, which manufactures electrical components. “The competition has been very good for us as we are able to see how other candidates used Inventor and push the capabilities of the solution to its limits. I believe this type of show case is also beneficial for the development of the industry as a whole.” said Jaafar.

MIMOS STRENGTHENS GLOBAL POSITIONING THROUGH MoU WITH INSTITUTE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ASSESMENT (IITA), KOREA

2005-08-30T00:42:00.000-07:00

Kuala Lumpur, August 25, 2005 - MIMOS Berhad, Malaysia’s leading research and development (R&D) organisation in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and microelectronics, today expands its network of global partnerships through a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Institute of Information Technology Assessment (IITA) of Korea.

The MoU sees MIMOS and IITA combining forces to encourage and promote cooperation in technology strategy, commercialisation, R&D management , as well as personnel exchange and training, among others.

“This initiative is part of MIMOS’ ongoing efforts to build R&D collaborations with global partners. We have been impressed with the calibre of IITA researchers as well as its role in the development of Korea's successful high-tech industry,” said MIMOS President and CEO, Tengku Dr Mohd Azzman Shariffadeen.

MIMOS has always believed in the power of partnerships in order to advance in the realm of ICT R&D. The MoU will not only benefit the organisation by knowledge sharing, but most importantly Malaysia will gain through tapping the experience of Korea in becoming undeniably one of the most advanced ICT countries, he added.

The MoU is the result of a MIMOS delegation visit to IITA in January 2005 to benchmark the Korean IT industry.

Established in 1992, IITA is Korea’s leading R&D institute specialising in information and telecommunications. The institute has played a vital role for the growth and increasing competitiveness of the Korean IT industry. The IITA had strongly supported the Korean government's successful implementation of the IT839 Strategy – which turned Korea into one of the strongest IT nations in the world. The institute was also involved in devising Korea’s “IT New Growth Engine” to increase the country’s global IT competitiveness and connectivity.

By collaborating with MIMOS, IITA will gain from joint research programmes, and an extablished platform to interact with the Malaysian ICT industry. Through MIMOS, they could also access into the ICT and microelectronics research network in Malaysia, and in other ASEAN member countries.
The MoU signing coincided with a return visit to MIMOS from a team of IITA researchers headed by its President Tae Hyun Kim.
