It’s not often that I review a phone and fall in love with it almost immediately. This is exactly what happened with the new Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G. I received the device last month in October before its official release and I have been using it ever since. I mentioned in
my preview
 of the device that it could be the best mid-range contender and I’m about to confirm it in this full review.

After a whole month of testing and using the Galaxy A52s as my daily driver, I find that it is, in my opinion, better than the flagship Galaxy S21 (which I also own). And for that reason, I ditched my Galaxy S21 and now I’m 100% on the Galaxy A52s.

Even my best friend thinks I’m crazy to ditch the more premium flagship but I find that the Galaxy A52s feels better. With that being said, why not have a further read on my full review and find out why I love the Galaxy A52s so much.

Design and First Look

The overall design is basically the same as the Galaxy A52 variant (without the “s”) and a little smaller than the Galaxy A72. Even the rear camera bump looks exactly the same. Although it is about 20 grams heavier on paper than the Galaxy S21, it doesn’t feel any heavier in my hand. I would say that it weighs almost the same.

The large 6.5” Super AMOLED display comes with 120Hz refresh rate to give the smooth navigation and scrolling experience. It is so smooth that it feels premium at times. I often mistaken it for my S21. It gives the same performance and experience as its flagship sibling. The screen shines bright up to 800 nits which is good enough for me.

There is also a punch hole 32MP selfie camera right at the top center and an under display optical fingerprint sensor near the bottom.

Looking at the back, there are 4 cameras sitting on a smooth camera bump that seamlessly protrudes from the back panel. If you’re looking at it from afar, you wouldn’t notice the camera bump. Perhaps it’s because I’m having the Awesome White version of the phone that made the bump look a little less obvious.

The Galaxy A52s is surrounded by a stainless steel body that adds quality in the aesthetic department. On the right side of the body, there’s the usual volume rocker and the power button right below it. There’s nothing on the left side. The dual SIM and MicroSD card tray is now located at the top of the phone along with one of the two stereo microphones.

At the bottom, there’s a 3.5mm audio jack (thank God), a second microphone, a USB type-C data and charging port, and a bottom firing speaker grille. Speaking of speakers, the Galaxy A52s comes with a stereo speaker with the ear-piece doubles up as a loudspeaker as well.

As I said, the Galaxy A52s looks exactly the same as the Galaxy A52 so you won’t have much problems looking for a phone casing or tempered glass for an additional protection.

Daily Use and Performance

This is where things get interesting. And this is probably the reason why I ditched my S21 (temporarily maybe?).

The Galaxy A52s is powered by Snapdragon 778G SoC which to me, is just a little less powerful than the flagship Snapdragon 888. It is supported by 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. Of course, I can expand the storage via a MicroSD card but 256GB is more than enough for me.

Using the Galaxy A52s is really fun. The device responded well to any tasks that I threw at it. Multitasking is a breeze. I don’t usually leave many apps opened at any given time but I don’t worry about that on the Galaxy A52s. I’m sure most of you will discard any older apps that are opened to keep your phone at optimum performance. I do that too. But not that often with the Galaxy A52s.

With more than 10 opened apps, I can still breeze through the phone and did heavy loads of graphical tasks without any hiccups. I do lots of photo editing on my phone. Also some video editing as well. But the Galaxy A52s just kept going without breaking a sweat. Best of all, it doesn’t heat up.

To power the phone up, the Galaxy A52s comes with a Li-Po 4500mAh battery that can last me a day and a half on heavy use that includes gaming. That is really good battery endurance if you ask me. If you want to save more juice, you can also turn off the dynamic screen refresh rate and only use the 60hz refresh rate. That will add another hour or two to your battery life.

As for the OS, the Galaxy A52s comes with Android 11 and One UI 3.1 out-of-the-box. Good news is, the One UI 4 based on Android 12 is just around the corner and the Galaxy A52s will receive that update once it rolls out. Now I am very excited for that upcoming update.

There are many ways to unlock the Galaxy A52s. You can use the under display fingerprint sensor, face recognition or with an old-skool pin number input. I’ve set mine to use both under display fingerprint sensor and facial recognition. The fingerprint sensor is very quick and accurate. The facial recognition is even quicker. It unlocks the phone as soon as I press the power button, except when I’m wearing a face mask. And it can still unlock with facial recognition even when I have the phone 1 meter away from my face. Thumbs up for that.

Performance wise, it is beyond my expectations. If you’re familiar with my usual performance test, then you’ll know I will test its full potential with gaming. So how does a Snapdragon 778G device perform with my favourite game of PUBG Mobile? Spectacular!

I loaded up PUBG Mobile on the Galaxy A52s and I knew I would be able to set the graphics to the highest framerate and settings. Of course, I turn on the 120Hz screen refresh rate as well to maximize the whole gaming experience and push it as far as I can. I even paired the Galaxy A52s with the new Galaxy Buds2 for an amazing surround sound. Before that, be sure to turn on Game Mode on the Galaxy Buds2 settings for low latency connection.

The overall gaming experience is way above my expectations. The gameplay is super smooth, zero lags and low heat. I am loving the smoothness in the overall graphic rendering throughout the whole gameplay. The screen is highly responsive and the super AMOLED display is simply gorgeous to look at.

Can I get nauseous because the whole gaming experience is too damn smooth? Yes I can. That happened to me after long hours of gaming. But I’m kinda used to that so that’s fine with me. But yeah, the whole gaming experience is just too good. And the Galaxy Buds2 doesn’t disappoint as well. And also with Dolby Atmos turned on. Just wow.

Even after 2 hours of continuous gaming on PUBG Mobile, I still have about 20% of battery left. Take note, all these are with 120Hz screen refresh rate turned on and with wireless earbuds connected to the phone. That is good battery endurance. Think I’ve said this already.

Celebrate Siblings Day with the New Galaxy A Series
As for Antutu Benchmark, the Galaxy A52s scored a rather impressive 492188, which is considered above average and good for heavy gaming.

So in terms of overall performance, I dare to say that the Galaxy A52s surpassed the performance of Galaxy S21 by a good margin. But in terms of build quality and exclusivity, the S21 is better. I forgot to mention that my Galaxy S21 is powered by Samsung’s Exynos 2100 SoC, not the SD888 version.

Just too bad that we still don’t have a publicly available 5G network connection to try out the 5G speed performance yet. I’m pretty sure there will be a significant improvement in its overall performance while we’re out and about. So we just have to wait for that.

The Galaxy A52s is also IP67 rated for dust and water resistance up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. That is another plus point that you can consider.

Camera System

Let’s check out the camera specifications:

Main camera

64 MP, f/1.8, 26mm (wide), 1/1.7″, 0.8µm, PDAF, OIS
12 MP, f/2.2, 123˚ (ultrawide)
5 MP, f/2.4, (macro)
5 MP, f/2.4, (depth)

Selfie camera

32 MP, f/2.2, 26mm (wide)

Now, the Galaxy A52s camera system is exactly the same as the one on Galaxy A52. It also has the same layout and megapixel counts. But there will be a slight difference between the two because of the different chipset. AI post-processing will be different and any software updates will process the photos differently too. So let’s see some of the results taken by the Galaxy A52s camera.

Landscape Shots

Normal zoom
Ultrawide angle

Outdoor shots are easy. The Galaxy A52s managed to capture good details with good clarity and colour balance.

Normal zoom
Normal zoom

Details on the building photo above is good. Highlights from the sky is well balanced with the dark areas around the trees. But HDR could’ve worked better to brighten up the dark areas a little bit. Of course, sunset shots are always pretty to look at.

When shooting in the dark, the Galaxy A52s managed to keep the noise at minimum. In fact, I don’t see much of the noise in the photo above. The details are actually good.

Again, when there’s enough light, the Galaxy A52s is able to capture good details and well balanced colours.

Food Photography

When it comes to food, I know many of us love to take photos of your meal before you eat for your social media post, right? Let me tell you that the Galaxy A52s will not disappoint you with great punchy colours and superb details. It will make your food too darn good to eat. The camera’s AI will automatically select the “food” mode when it detect the food subject. With this, the phone will enhance the image to make it all look better.

Selfies

Outdoor, normal zoom
Outdoor, wide angle
Indoor selfie
Near total darkness selfie

When it comes to selfies, it may be a hit and miss. But most of the time I got a hit. Outdoor selfies are good most of the time. If you’re indoors, make sure you have some sort of light source nearby to get a good detail on your face. But it still managed to get an okay shots in near dark areas. But you may have to stay motionless to get a good shot when it’s dark.

Test Subject

Normal zoom
2x zoom
Ultrawide angle
Macro mode

When shooting a product or a small subject like I did above, it’s good to know that the normal zoom managed to capture near perfect photo without any flaws. The colours are good, details are there and overall, it’s just good. Zooming in 2x, it still managed to get a good clear shot. But then using the ultrawide angle mode, the image tends to get blurry near the corners. I hope the next software update can resolve this minor issue. Macro mode is good. You can go as minimum as 3 cm away from the subject to get a clear shot.

Here’s another sample taken with the macro mode. Like I said, details are good. The foreground grass blades are blurred nicely for that bokeh effect and I’m happy with this shot.

Portrait

Probably the best mode of all. I only managed to get one clear shot of mini me because he wouldn’t sit still even for a few seconds but the result is really good. Background is blurred seamlessly for that bokeh effect and it doesn’t look artificial. Colours, details and clarity are on point.

The Galaxy A52s performed above average in the camera department. I won’t say it’s the best, but 95% of the photos in my gallery are usable and came out beautifully. Some night shots are blurry, probably because the “shutter” takes longer to capture enough light. I prefer to use the portrait mode when I have a human subject in front of me but most of the times I simply use the normal 64MP main shooter because it’s easy and can’t go wrong with it.

Conclusion

By far, this is the best mid-range Galaxy series that I’ve tested. My previous best was the mid-high range Galaxy A72 which I also liked. Now the throne has gone to this Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G. Keep in mind that I’m only comparing it between all the Galaxy series. I’ve yet to try the latest M Series, so that will compare nicely between all the Galaxy ranges.

Having said all that, I am very pleased with the Galaxy A52s and I will continue to use it until the next best mid-range comes around. The performance for daily usage is up there. I’ve used some other mid-ranges weeks before this but those were just okay in my opinion. I have always loved the gorgeous AMOLED display. I love the size and it’s very pocketable.

Another thing that I love is the battery endurance. A full 100% charge can last me close to two days if I turn the dynamic screen refresh rate off. But even when it’s on, it can still last me the whole day without needing to plug in the charger. And no, I don’t need to carry a powerbank when I have this phone with me.

So if you’re looking for an upgrade from an older Galaxy A series, I will highly recommend that you get this Galaxy A52s. It is future proofed, thanks to the 5G network ready. Or if you’re looking to level up your gaming experience, this will be it as well. The stereo speakers sound amazing while gaming or watching any movies. It’s a pleasure to use, definitely.

Strong Shopping Activity On Shopee 11.11 Big Sale As Malaysia’s Economy Reopens

The reopening of the economic sector has not slowed down e-commerce demand. In fact, Shopee has wrapped up its most successful 11.11 Big Sale, with more Malaysians able to enjoy exclusive deals, bigger savings, and the widest variety on the platform.

On 11 November, Shopee users in Malaysia continued to stock up on groceries such as Milo, cereal, instant noodles and fresh fruits and vegetables. More than 1.8 million home improvement and decoration products were also sold on Shopee.

With Malaysians resuming their out-of-home activities, health and personal care supplies on Shopee such as face masks continue to be one of the top products purchased. The product recorded a sellout of more than 13 million pieces whereas Covid-19 test kits saw close to 30,000 units sold on 11 November as Malaysians are reminded of their responsibilities and the Government’s call to ensure their safety as well as others around them.

Shopee saw the same robust support for 11.11 Big Sale across the region. Over 2 billion items were bought throughout the festival period, smashing Shopee’s previous record set in 2020. Excitement peaked on 11 November, with visits spiking 5.5 times in the first two hours compared to an average day.

Shopee’s year-end shopping festivals continued to bridge millions of Malaysians with brands and sellers. As such, offline merchants also enjoyed the surge in online-first customers to their outlets when users collectively claimed over 5 million in ShopeePay Vouchers through ‘Deals Near Me’ across the 11.11 Big Sale shopping festival period.

Entertainment continues to be a core part of the online shopping experience. Throughout the 11.11 Big Sale, Malaysians also spent more time connecting to sellers and watching their favourite celebrities on live streams, with a total of 4.8 million hours spent watching on Shopee Live. More than 41 million Golden Tickets were also given out as users played Tap & Win A Condo and Spin & Win for a chance to win a condominium unit worth over RM500,000 at SkyMeridien Residences @ Sentul East, and a BMW 218i Grand Coupé M Sport, respectively.

Terence Pang, Chief Operating Officer at Shopee said,
“It brings us great joy to see the impact of our efforts on shoppers, businesses and the local community. The digital economy and e-commerce continue to present many opportunities for growth. We want to enable more people to benefit from this growth by increasing e-commerce adoption and helping more consumers and businesses come online and connecting them with one another.”

11.11 Big Sale has encouraged more people to access and enjoy the benefits of online shopping, particularly those outside major cities where digital awareness has been relatively lower. Across the region, a 5 times increase was noted in the number of shoppers from rural and smaller towns, whilst ShopeePay transactions outside the big cities grew 9 times from an average day as users pay for their Shopee orders seamlessly.

For businesses in the region, the 11.11 Big Sale was a springboard for growth and recovery. Local sellers benefitted from the spike in shopping activity, with those joining 11.11 for the first time saw their orders on 11 November soared 18 times compared to an average day.

It’s Time to Unlock Your Ultimate Gaming Potential With realme Gt Neo2

Playing mobile games has become a common pastime among people of all ages, especially during stay-at-home periods. An adventurous battlefield or virtual role play is an exciting entertainment choice and some say an all-rounded stress reliever.

Despite Malaysia’s loosening of the Standard Operation Procedures (SOPs) in the hopes of regaining economic growth, Malaysians are likely to turn to gaming as a solution to momentarily escape life’s troubles and excite their emotions by clearing level after level in the world of gaming or as a way to stay in touch with friend in the virtual world.

You may have the skillset of a pro gamer but how do you ensure a smooth sail towards victory or take those headshots to the next level? Nothing beats utilising a phone made specially for your gaming comfort and pleasure, the best gaming flagship smartphone from realme, the realme GT Neo2.

Here are
5 reasons why realme GT Neo2 is your best gaming partner
:

1. Gripping Comfort

Comfort is definitely one of the main things a pro gamer needs to fully execute their gaming abilities while in game. The realme GT Neo2 prioritises comfort as it is relatively lightweight and slim at only 200g and 8.6mm for a snug grip which reduces discomfort and hand fatigue when gaming for long hours.

With comfort at the palm of your hands, you would feel more relaxed and at ease while battling your opponents for that sweet taste of victory.

2. Immersive Gaming Experience

What makes a gamer proficient and a victor? Having the skills is an important factor but to execute flawlessly, you need a device that is capable to support your gaming needs. It is important for a gamer to be connected to their role or as some say being one with the game.

This requires a crisp and clear graphics display with vibrant visuals so that the gamer is fully immersed in the gaming world to perform stronger.

The realme GT Neo2 provides such an immersive experience with its impressive 120Hz E4 AMOLED display for gamers to have a realistic and fluid visual presentation as they play.

3. Total Manipulation

In order to game with total control, your device should enable you to manipulate your role with complete ease so that your gaming skills can break through for you to attain victory. The presence of 600Hz touch sampling rate triggers extraordinary responsiveness to detect your motion and input in no time giving you utter control over the game without discrepancies.

4. Gamer worthy cooling system

As you’re in the zone, you wouldn’t want your phone heating up becoming a distraction while you perform. Not forgetting how uncomfortable it feels, as though the palm of your hands are exposed to some kind of radiation. This occurrence would also cause your phone’s functionality to decline which is another worry that would likely disrupt your ability to enjoy the game.

Fear not, realme GT Neo2 employs stainless steel vapour cooling to achieve incredible heat dissipation and it is the first ever to use an 8-layer structure with diamond thermal gel as its cooling system so that your hands won’t encounter that worrisome heat up in the midst of your game. What better than ultimate comfort to lead you to victory!

5. Non-Stop Gaming

You’re on a winning streak and all fired up to keep playing but you’re suddenly cut off by your battery percentage. Even worse, mid game you realise your battery percent is 5% and you’re then forced to exit the game ruining your streak and letting down your teammates as well.

This is nothing a massive battery capacity can’t cure. The realme GT Neo2 comes with a 5000mAH battery capacity that allows gamers to game non-stop up to 8 hours! A very generous amount of time for a gaming session.
But if you wish to continue playing after that 8 hours of non-stop gaming but your battery is low, the realme GT Neo2 comes with a 65W SuperDart Charging Cable, which offers you quick charging as it only takes 36 minutes to fully charge (13 minutes can be charged to 50 percent).

No more forcing yourself to wait for hours for your gaming session to start. All you need is half an hour and you’re good to go!

It’s time to unveil your gaming skills with this impressive weapon. realme GT Neo2 with colours of NEO Green and NEO Blue is now available in Malaysia on realme’s Official Store on Shopee and Lazada at RM2,099.

Secure

PDF packed with great security features. A single tap of your mouse will help you in deciding who has access to your PDF document files. So, now you could be able to protect sensitive business documents with powerful encryption. Don’t fret as you can set permission only certain parts of the PDFs that are available to edit. Also, you could securely convert JFIF to PDF with the assistance of an online JFIF to PDF converter online.

A Glimpse into the Future: Trend Micro’s Project 2030

Connectivity, data, and AI will change the way we live, work and operate in society
.

Trend Micro Incorporated
, a global cybersecurity leader, today released a visionary new report and video dramatization articulating how the world might look at the start of the next decade — and how the security sector might respond to evolving cybercrime innovation.

By 2030, connectivity will impact every aspect of daily life, on both the physical and psychological levels. Malicious threat actors will evolve to use and abuse technological innovation – as they always do.

 to learn more about Project 2030.

“Project 2030 is not a definitive vision of what will be, but a thought-provoking take on what could be — detailing a future that is plausible based on current technology and trends,” said Goh Chee Hoh, Managing Director for Malaysia and Nascent Countries, Trend Micro.

“We hope this possible future will spark a debate within the security industry and wider society. Only by carefully anticipating future scenarios can we offer governments, businesses, and individuals a way to prepare for the cyber challenges of the coming decade.”

The report itself looks at the world in 2030 through the eyes of a fictional citizen, a business, and a government. It offers a detailed analysis of evolving cyber threats and how these might impact security stakeholders.

Among the predictions are:

AI tools democratize cybercrime on a whole new scale to individuals with no technical skill
Attacks cause chaos with supply chains and physical harm to humans through their cyber-implants
Social engineering and misinformation become more visceral and harder to ignore when delivered via ubiquitous Heads Up Displays (HUDs)
Massive IoT (MIoT) environments attract sabotage and extortion attacks targeting manufacturing, logistics, transportation, healthcare, education, retail, and the home environment
AI-powered obfuscation makes attribution virtually impossible, pushing the security industry’s focus towards incident response and IAM at the edge
5G and 6G connectivity everywhere drive more sophisticated and precise attacks
“Everything as a Service” turns cloud providers into hugely lucrative targets for cyber-attackers
Grey markets emerge for those that want tools to confound workplace monitoring
Techno-nationalism becomes a key geostrategic tool of some of the world’s most powerful nations, with the gulf between them and the have-nots widening further

“The exponential growth of modern technology has brought abundant future possibilities, along with cybersecurity challenges,” said Dr. Victoria Baines, cybersecurity futurist.

“These scenarios and their associated threats will require changes to the business and regulation of cybersecurity. The cybersecurity industry must evolve both technology and training to prepare for a future in which everything is connected and at risk.”

A successor to Trend Micro’s acclaimed 2012 report,
Project 2020
, the new paper was compiled from open-source research, vendor threat landscape reports, scientific abstracts, patents, an invitation-only online survey, and a CISO poll.

The video dramatization of the report is meant to be an engaging, entertaining way to visualize the future and enable organizations to think about how they will need to adapt to new realities.

A Week in Dallas on a $48,000 Salary

Welcome to Spending Notes, where we do a weekly deep dive into how our readers spend their cash.

Today: a personal trainer who makes $48,000 a year
Occupation: personal trainer
Age: 32
Location: Dallas, TX
Salary: $48,000 (approx. $1,600 per pay period)

Day One

Now that most gyms are back in full swing, I’ve been really busy at work and usually have back-to-back clients. I started personal training in my early 20s, but it didn’t become my full-time job until my late 20s. I didn’t have a lot of time for lunch. Thankfully, there’s a cafe in the gym where you can order healthy meals. I bought a hummus vegetable wrap.

Total: $9

Day Two

Working in the health and fitness industry, you pay attention to what you put in your body more than the average person. I’ve been looking into protein manufacturing recently because I’m thinking of potentially selling my own product line.

I found a
protein manufacturer
 called Makers Nutrition that makes whey, casein, and soy protein products. I want to offer a custom formula for all of my clients, so there have to be options for whey protein and soy protein for clients who are vegan or don’t consume dairy products.

Makers Nutrition looks like a promising choice because I’ve been looking for a company that makes the entire manufacturing process easy. That means it has to meet FDA standards. On top of that, Makers Nutrition protein supplements come in different flavors, which is always a plus! I’m planning on requesting a free quote when I have the chance.

Total: $0

Day Three

My grandmother isn’t feeling the best, so I decided that the siblings should put together a gift. My sister J. suggested a site where you can
send plants online
. Lively Root offers free delivery for any plant gifts you might want to have delivered to a loved one. I think my grandmother would really love getting a new plant. Unlike me, she has a green thumb. So, J. and I picked a ruby rubber tree as a get-well gift. We split the cost three ways with our other sister, H.

ALSO READ

Do You Like To Take Pictures Of Your Food?
Total: $13.35

Day Four

I’m planning on eating a lot of carbs throughout the day because I’ve got a
long workout
. For lunch, I pack some Tupperware full of quinoa, lentils, beans, veggies, and some leftover chicken. I also bring a pea protein shake in a thermos.

Total: $0

Day Five

There are times where I work out alongside my clients because it helps motivate them. But most days, I like to get my workout in at night. My sister H. is asking me to go out to dinner. Even though I was hoping to go to the gym and
stick to a specific diet plan
, I have difficulty saying no to her. I plan on suggesting a restaurant where I can still hit all my macros. It would be even better if the restaurant uses organic ingredients.

Total: $14

Day Six

I had back-to-back clients again. A lot of people like to work out on weekends because it helps them start their day in the right way. Plus, it can be hard to exercise after a long day at work. Today, most of the workouts
focus on strength training
. Later, I plan to order food for the next couple of days from a meal-prep service. I like to try some of them out in case my clients ask for any recommendations. Most of the meals from this service cost around $9.50.

Total: $60

Day Seven

It’s Sunday, and I only have one client today. Some people just prefer to keep it low-key on Sundays, and I totally get that. I’m the same way. Once I’m done for the day, I plan on going home to do more research into protein manufacturing.

Total: $0

Total for the week: $96.35

Cybercriminals Are Using MSPs’ Own Internal Tools Against Them According to Acronis Cyberthreats Report 2022

Acronis
, the global leader in
cyber protection
, has released its annual Acronis Cyberthreats Report 2022, an in-depth review of cybersecurity trends and threats worldwide.

The report warns that managed service providers (MSPs) are particularly at risk — having more of their own management tools, such as PSA or RMM, used against them by cybercriminals, and thus are becoming increasingly vulnerable to supply chain attacks.

Supply-chain attacks on MSPs are particularly devastating, since attackers gain access to both their business and clients — as seen in the SolarWinds breach last year and the Kaseya VSA attack earlier in 2021, one successful attack means crippling hundreds or thousands of SMBs.

The report also shows that during the second half of 2021, only 20% of companies reported not having been attacked — as opposed to 32% last year — indicating that attacks are increasing in frequency across the board.

“The cybercrime industry is a well-oiled machine, using cloud and machine intelligence to scale and automate their operations. While the threat landscape continues to grow, we see that the main attack vectors stay the same — and they still work,” says
Candid Wuest
,
Acronis VP of Cyber Protection Research
.

“While the attack surface is growing and 2022 will surely bring us surprises, cyber protection automation remains the only path to greater security, reduced risks, lower costs, and improved efficiency.”

Key trends of 2021 — and predictions for 2022

Beyond the growing efficiency of cybercriminals and the impact on MSPs and small businesses, the Acronis Cyberthreats Report 2022 shows:

Phishing remains the main attack vector.
 94% of malware gets delivered by email — using social engineering techniques to trick users into opening malicious attachments or links, phishing has been topping the charts even before the pandemic. It still continues to grow rapidly: just this year, Acronis reported blocking 23% more phishing emails and 40% more malware emails in Q3, as compared with Q2 of the same year.
Phishing actors develop new tricks, move to messengers.
Now targeting OAuth and multifactor authentication tools (MFA), these new tricks allow criminals to take over accounts. To bypass common anti-phishing tools, they will use text messages, Slack, Teams chats and other tools for attacks such as business email compromise (BEC). One recent example of such an attack was the infamous hijacking of the FBI’s own email service, which was compromised and started sending spam emails in November, 2021.
Ransomware still the #1 threat — to big companies and SMBs alike.
 High-value targets include the public sector, healthcare, manufacturing, and other critical organizations. But despite some recent arrests, ransomware continues to be one of the most profitable cyberattacks these days.
Cybercrime Magazine
 predicts ransomware damages will exceed $20 billion before the end of 2021.
Cryptocurrency among the attackers’ favourite playing cards.
 Infostealers and malware that swaps digital wallet addresses are the reality today. We can expect more such attacks waged directly against smart contracts in 2022 — attacking the programs at the heart of cryptocurrencies. Attacks against Web 3.0 apps will also occur more frequently, and new and increasingly sophisticated attacks, such as flash loan attacks, will allow attackers to drain millions of dollars from cryptocurrency pools.

Data Leak: Prevention is Better Than Cure
Acronis Cyberthreats Report 2022

The Acronis Cyberthreats Report 2022 is based on examining attack and threat data collected by the company’s global network of Acronis CPOCs, which monitor and research cyberthreats 24/7.

Malware data was collected by more than 650,000 unique endpoints around the world running Acronis Cyber Protect — either as a client of an MSP using the solution or a business running the solution. The end-of-year update covers attacks targeting endpoints detected between July and November, 2021.

The full report provides in-depth insights into the top cybersecurity and threat trends the CPOCs observed during the second half of 2021; a review of malware families and related statistics; a deep dive into ransomware’s most dangerous groups; the vulnerabilities that contribute to successful attacks; and Acronis’ security recommendations for 2022 and beyond.
