Top 7 Ways Cyberscammers and Malware Operators Abuse Google Forms, According to Sophos Research

Sophos
, a global leader in next-generation cybersecurity, has published research, “
Phishing and Malware Actors Abuse Google Forms for Credentials, Data Exfiltration
,” describing how cyberattackers – from entry-level scammers to advanced adversaries – abuse Google Forms to implement a wide range of attacks, targeting both organizations and individuals.

“The extent to which cyberattackers abuse Google Forms came to light while we were researching how
malware abuses encryption
 to conceal its activities and communications,” said Sean Gallagher, senior threat researcher at Sophos. “Google Forms offer cyberattackers an attractive proposition: the forms are easy to implement and trusted by both organizations and consumers; the traffic to and from the service is secured with Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption so it can’t be easily inspected by defenders; and the whole set up essentially provides a free attack infrastructure.”

 “Our analysis shows that while most abuse of Google Forms by cyberattackers remains firmly in the low-skill phishing and fraud spam space, there are increasing signs that adversaries are taking advantage of the platform for more sophisticated attacks. Sophos’ examples of this include attackers using Google Forms to exfiltrate data and for malware command-and-control.”

Below are the seven ways that Sophos researchers have identified cyberscammers and malware operators abusing Google Forms:

Phishing:
 Despite the fact that Google warns users on every page of a form not to enter password details, Sophos found several examples where attackers tried to convince potential victims to enter their credentials into a Google Form laid out to resemble a login page. These forms were often tied to malicious spam campaigns.
Malicious spam campaigns
: One of the largest sources of Google Forms links in spam were “unsubscribe” links in scam-related marketing emails. Sophos has intercepted a number of spam-based phising campaigns that targeted Microsoft online accounts, including Office365. The spam claimed that recipients’ email accounts were about to be shut down if they were not immediately verified, and offered a link to a Google Form that asked the user to enter their Microsoft credentials. These Google Forms pages were decorated with Microsoft graphics but, still, clearly a Google Form.
Payment card data theft
: Entry-level scammers use Google Forms’ ready-made design templates to attempt to steal payment data through faked “secure” e-commerce pages.
Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs), such as adware:
 The researchers discovered a number of PUAs targeting Windows users. These apps use Google Forms pages surreptitiously, with the web requests collected and submitted to forms automatically without any need for user interaction.
Fake user interfaces for malicious Android apps
: Sophos found some malicious Android applications that made use of Google Forms to capture data without having to code a back-end website. Most of these were adware or PUAs. For instance, the researchers found “SnapTube,” a video app that generates revenue for the developer through web advertising fraud and which includes a Google Forms page for user feedback.
Data removal
: The researchers uncovered a number of more sophisticated threats abusing Google Forms. This included malicious Windows applications that used web requests to Google Forms pages to ‘push’ stolen data from computers to a Google spreadheet via Google Forms.
Part of the wider malicious cyberattack infrastructure:
 Sophos telemetry has detected a number of PowerShell scripts interacting with Google Forms. We were able to prototype how PowerShell scripts could be used to scrape Windows profiling data from a computer and submit it to a Google Forms form automatically.

Pay Like a Local with BigPay’s latest DuitNow Cross-Border QR Payment
“Google frequently shuts down accounts associated with a mass abuse of applications, including Google Forms,” said Gallagher. “However, the kind of low-volume, targeted use of Forms by some malware could stay under the radar. Business defenders need to be alert to this threat and apply caution whenever they see links to Google Forms, or any other legitimate services trying to obtain credentials, and they should not inherently trust TLS traffic to ‘known good’ domains such as docs.google.com.”

Sophos products, including Intercept X for endpoints, defend against most malicious spam that carry forms-based phishing campaigns and detect the behaviors of system information collection discussed in the new research.

Sophos also advises consumers to install a security solution, such as Sophos Home, on the devices that they and their families use for online communications and gaming to protect everyone from malware and cyberthreats.

Attacks Surge in 1H 2021 as Trend Micro Blocks 41 Billion Cyber Threats

Ransomware remains primary threat as threat actors evolve tactics; stresses on cybersecurity as a critical component of 12
th
 Malaysia Plan (12MP) and upcoming Budget 2022

Global cybersecurity leader
Trend Micro Incorporated
 announced today that it blocked 40.9 billion email threats, malicious files, and malicious URLs for customers in the first half of 2021, a 47% year-on-year increase.

In Malaysia specifically, Trend Micro found that:

A total of 232,701,368 attacks were blocked the first half of the year.
Over half consisted of email threats at 145,947,167, which registered an increase of 24% from 1H 2020.
The number of detected malware increased by 160% from 1H 2020 to 6,604,199.

Globally, ransomware remained the standout threat in the first half of the year as cyber criminals continued to target big-name victims. Working with third parties to gain access to targeted networks, they used Advanced Persistent Threat tools and techniques to steal and encrypt victims’ data.

The banking industry, in particular, was disproportionately affected, experiencing a 1,318% year-on-year increase in ransomware attacks in the first half of 2021.

Trend Micro’s report further revealed that:

Business email compromise (BEC) attacks increased by 4%, potentially as a result of new COVID-19 opportunities for threat actors.
Cryptocurrency miners became the most detected malware, having surged ahead of WannaCry and web shells in recent months.
The Zero Day Initiative detected 770 vulnerabilities, a slight (2%) drop from 1H 2020.
A total of 164 malicious apps related to COVID-19 scams were detected, 54% of which impersonated TikTok.

“The first step towards effectively mitigating cyber risk is understanding the scale, complexity, and specific characteristics of the threat landscape,” said Goh Chee Hoh, Managing Director of Trend Micro Malaysia and Nascent Countries. “In addition to comprehensive protection against fast-evolving threats like ransomware, phishing, and BEC that Trend Micro offers, our biannual roundup reports provide global organizations and stakeholders invaluable insights to help them build a more secure connected world.”

Cybersecurity critical component to 12
th
 Malaysia Plan (12MP) and Budget 2022 digital transformation emphasis

The biannual roundup report is timely and coincides with the tabling of the 12MP on September 27, which maps out a five-year development plan to put the economy back on a growth trajectory post Covid-19 pandemic and into a high-income economy status by 2025. This includes positioning Malaysia as a digital hub for ASEAN.

It also comes on the back of the first-ever 2022 Pre-Budget Statement issued by the Ministry of Finance on August 31, where the emphasis to accelerate the transition towards IR4.0 and digital transformation remains all the more urgent.

According to Goh, “We welcome the government’s unwavering commitment to stimulating Malaysia’s digital economy and infrastructure as a core element of the nation’s economic recovery.

The 12MP’s focus on digitizing businesses and facilitating strategic investments is a solid testament to Malaysia’s potential in its capabilities and offerings in the digital and cybersecurity space.

“While cloud transformation and enhanced connectivity have been identified as significant areas in this aspect, we are in tandem with the government’s emphasis on cybersecurity as a critical component in building the digital ecosystem of the future. Our roundup report evidently shows that the cyber risk and complexity of global attacks have significantly increased, thus the focus on cybersecurity is imperative and should be the foundation in any digitalization journey.”

The report’s overall findings highlight the effectiveness of – and increasing need for – a holistic and scalable cybersecurity solution at the enterprise level. As threats continue to increase in frequency and sophistication, enterprise SOC teams will require a platform that can streamline security processes without sacrificing reliability.

In addition, Goh expressed his hopes that the upcoming Budget 2022 announcement would explore initiatives to enhance existing policies to solidify the nation’s cybersecurity posture, especially in the areas of cybersecurity legislation and digital talent development.

“We urge the government to allocate substantial investments in upskilling the digital workforce, especially in the area of cloud and cybersecurity expertise, to meet the national digital agenda, as well as to reinforce cyber laws as a deterrent to malicious activities.”

Budget 2022 will focus primarily on continuing to protect and restore the lives and livelihoods of the people and businesses, rebuild national resilience, and catalyze economic recovery. In addition, the Budget will serve as a catalyst towards the implementation of the 12MP that will drive medium term economic growth, inclusiveness, and sustainability.

U Mobile Partners Allo to Expand its Unlimited Offering to High-Speed Fibre Broadband

U Mobile, the award-winning telco, has signed a collaboration agreement with Allo Technology Sdn. Bhd. (Allo), a telecommunications infrastructure service provider and wholly-owned subsidiary of Tenaga Nasional Berhad, to leverage the company’s fibre broadband infrastructure and growing location coverage to expand its accessible and affordable unlimited offerings beyond mobile data and wireless broadband to also include high-speed fibre broadband.

U Mobile’s maiden fibre broadband offering called
Ultra Unlimited Home Fibre Broadband
 is now available to new and existing* U Mobile customers in selected residential areas in Melaka, Cyberjaya, Perak and Kedah as a pilot. The telco does intend to make its fibre broadband plans available to more locations and to non-U Mobile customers soon.

 “U Mobile is excited to be partnering Allo as it marks the start of our foray into fibre broadband. We will definitely be looking to widen our unlimited fibre broadband offering to more customers at more locations in the coming months. This move has been particularly timely as we believe many of our customers will appreciate the affordable and accessible unlimited high-speed fibre broadband plans for their learning, productivity and work needs during this pandemic. Noting the pressures our customers are facing, we are even offering 50% off our fibre plans for 2 years and will also be waiving the first month’s fibre bill for U Mobile customers, making us the best mobile and fibre bundle in the country. U Mobile’s purpose is to unleash every potential, hence we are continuously looking at new ways to empower the country’s digital economy,” said Jasmine Lee, Chief Marketing Officer of U Mobile.

Allo’s Chief Executive Officer Rodzi Ahmad lauded the partnership with U Mobile as it is in line with the company’s purpose of providing last mile reach via its Open Access Network so that Malaysians will be able to gain access to high-speed fibre broadband. This partnership is especially timely and meaningful as demand for fibre broadband has increased as Malaysians are all working and learning from home due to the pandemic.

The new vivo Y33s will be coming to Malaysia soon, the latest addition to the Y-Series devices. A sleek and trendy smartphone that offers great overall performance, the vivo Y33s is suitable for all users who are seeking the answer to all their ‘That’s Y’ questions in a smartphone.

“vivo has always innovated smartphones for people to find their ‘That’s Y’ moments with technology. Packed with large battery capacity, 18W Fast Charge, new 50MP tri-camera lens and gaming chipset with performing processes in the vivo Y33s, there is much that is offered in a smartphone in this category. With its affordable price and stylish look, the vivo Y33s is the most suitable smartphone for Malaysians to unleash their creativity in every ‘That’s Y’ moment,” said Mike Xu, Chief Executive Officer of vivo Malaysia.

Sleek and Trendy Smartphone with Luxurious Feel. That’s Y.

Mirror Black
 and
Midday Dream
. The
Mirror Black
 uses vivo’s latest double layer coating technique that intertwines the elegant shade of black with a glossy sheen. Looking into the black mirror, users will discover a hidden world of light, shadow, texture and endless lustre. The
Midday Dream

vivo’s Flagship X70 Series and TWS 2 Series are Now Available in Malaysia

The X70 series advances mobile photography with ZEISS while the TWS 2 series is supported by vivo’s first 40dB Advanced Noise Cancellation technology

vivo has officially launched its X70 series of professional photography flagship smartphones in Malaysia. The X70 series – consisting of the X70 and X70 Pro – marks the next chapter in vivo’s global imaging partnership with ZEISS and their joint pursuit of creating the ultimate mobile photography experience. Launching alongside the X70 series, is vivo’s first 40dB Advanced Noise Cancellation TWS 2 series True Wireless Stereo earbuds, which are available in two models – the TWS 2 ANC and TWS 2e.

“As a longstanding pioneer in the industry, vivo is bringing joy to users worldwide by setting a new benchmark of mobile photography and smartphone innovation with the X70 series. Once again, we are breaking boundaries by delivering exceptional mobile photography advancements as we endeavour to make technology that is intuitive and functional to use,” said Mike Xu, Chief Executive Officer of vivo Malaysia.

Advancing Mobile Imaging Together with ZEISS

Reflecting vivo’s commitment to spearhead the field of smartphone photography, the X70 series is thoroughly equipped with premium mobile imaging software and hardware capabilities, from the camera system that has been co-engineered with ZEISS, a legend in the world of optics for 175 years, to the exclusive “ZEISS Portrait Style” feature, which allows users to take photos that mimic the look and feel of photos taken using classic ZEISS lenses.

“Smartphones are the go-to tools for users to capture memories, making them a digital gateway to tell their own stories and share those creations with the world. With the X70 series, empowered by the partnership with ZEISS, vivo is actively closing the gap between mobile and professional photography by infusing user-oriented innovation with cutting-edge technology,” added Xu.

The vivo X70 series incorporates top-notch imaging features inside and out, resulting in an intuitive photography experience that enables users to capture or record remarkably natural-looking photographs or videos. This is thanks to the entire vivo X70 lineup having lenses that are certified compliant with the ZEISS T* coating, which help to reduce unwanted light flares and enhance light transmission to reduce ghosting, stray light and other unnoteworthy image artifacts for photos and videos that look stunning.

The recognisable ZEISS logo and ZEISS T* Coating label is stamped on the X70 series’ rear camera array, while a ZEISS Vario-Tessar trademark has been subtly engraved on its protruding flashlight panel.

On the camera specs front, the entire X70 lineup have 32MP front cameras; the X70 Pro has a rear quad-camera array (50MP + 12MP+ 12MP + 8MP), and the X70 has a rear tri-camera system (40MP + 12MP + 12MP).

In addition to the Biotar Portrait Style’s legendary swirly bokeh, vivo has supplemented three groundbreaking ZEISS Style Portrait features – inspired by iconic, classical lenses Distagon, Planar and Sonnar – for X70 series users to shoot with. “Distagon” style gives off an anamorphic look, offering dynamic perspective effects for critical architecture and interior photography that exudes Hollywood filmmaking aesthetics. The “Planar” adaption introduces classic bokeh effects, revealing true characteristics and conveying genuine expressions through portrait photography. “Sonnar” mode is known for its creamy bokeh, making it well suited for portraiture with depth and clarity to document authentic events.

Enhanced Gimbal Stabilisation 3.0 and Night Mode for Unrivalled Visual Aesthetics

The X70 series includes new technologies and the latest iterations of vivo’s iconic multi-modal photography and videography features, allowing users to thoroughly manifest their creativity in high-definition and produce vivid multi-media content with no compromises to quality.

Both the X70 Pro and X70 variants possess the Ultra-Sensing Gimbal Camera coupled with Gimbal Stabilisation 3.0 technology for users to capture steady images or videos in dynamic motion. The series comes with VIS 5-Axis Ultra Stable Video technology which integrates enhanced Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) with Electronic Image Stabilisation (EIS) to aggressively stabilise the X/Y-axis, as well as Z-axis rotation for well-rounded stability.

Top-Notch Performance

Both the X70 Pro and X70 run on the MediaTek Dimensity 1200-vivo chip to provide unrivaled CPU and GPU performance. These power-efficient integrated processors allow users to get the most out of 5G connectivity everyday, while LPDDR4X and UFS 3.1 help provide lightning quick sequential reading and writing speeds.

The X70 Pro and X70 are equipped with 4,450 mAh (TYP) batteries and 4,400 mAh (TYP) batteries respectively, and are bundled with a vivo standard charger (FlashCharge 11V / 4A) that supports 44W FlashCharge technology for long-lasting performance. The X70 Pro and X70 devices are outfitted with 6.56-inch displays that can peak at 120Hz refresh rates and 240Hz response rates for smooth scrolling and viewing.

Perennial Design and Futuristic Construct

To live up to expectations as the ultimate professional photography flagship smartphone, vivo has gone all out on the X70 series and spared no effort in ensuring timeless style, as well as a formidable build.

Fluorite AG – a revolutionary industrial design process developed by vivo – has been utilised to shroud the X70 series devices in crystallised glass with a prismatic surface that exudes fluorescent effects under the light.

The X70 Pro and X70 models are available in Cosmic Black or Aurora Dawn. Cosmic Black is inspired by the eternal vigor and exuberant vitality of our universe, a colour symbolic of vast and deep darkness dotted by glittering silver hues to represent the stars during a pitch-black night. Aurora Dawn pays homage to the iridescent radiance of the Northern Lights in the polar sky.

Feather Lightweight wearable device with Advanced Noise Cancellation Technology

Equipped with 12.2mm super strong bass and with support for aptX adaptive codec technology, the vivo TWS 2 series earbuds offer an impressive audio experience. It also supports up to 40dB noise reduction that can detect external sound and emit precise soundwaves to counter the surrounding noise and automatically adjust the degree of noise cancellation with its intelligent algorithm.

What You Need to Know Before Investing in Your First Drone

Drones are a rapidly growing market, thanks partly to the rapidly changing designs and technology that allow more people to master the art of using drones personally and professionally.

The fact remains that drones allow for a perspective that traditional photography and videography can’t. Something is captivating about imagery captured from above, allowing us to see the world from an angle we don’t get to see frequently.

If you are new to
drones and drone technology
, taking that first step to finding a suitable drone for you can be daunting. Yet, with all the choices on the market, it isn’t as straightforward anymore to buy a drone for your needs.

This post looks at some of the essential considerations you need to keep in mind when buying your first drone.

What Do You Want From Your Drone?

You need to ask yourself what type of features you want for your drone before purchasing. Drones come in many different shapes and sizes and with a vast array of features and technology. If you are using it for personal use, then a simple, low-cost drone can help you get used to this type of technology and allow you to practice. However, if this is going to be for corporate use, you need to put more thought into what you want and need your drone to be capable of.
Learn More
 here about the different types of drones on offer and what you can expect at various price points.

How Do Much You Want To Spend?

Different drone capabilities come with other price points. It can be easy to get carried away and go for a drone with all the latest tech. But ask yourself, do you really need all of the features, and how much are you willing to spend on a drone?

Once you can pinpoint your maximum budget, you can narrow down your search.

What Local Drone Laws Do You Need to Know?

This is super important to know.
Each country
 and potentially each region will have different laws and regulations regarding drone usage. Most countries will require you to register your drone, which can require you to pay a fee. Responsible drone owners know all the laws and regulations regarding what they can and cannot do and are registered with the relevant authorities.

It is also imperative that if you are going to be travelling with your drone, you know the laws on bringing drones into the country. Even if you do not plan on using it and are stopping over, you may not even be allowed to have it in your luggage, and you run the risk of it being confiscated. Always check before travelling.

Insure The Drone

Always make sure you get the drone insured. It is an expensive piece of tech, and especially in the beginning, it can be easy to damage it. This can be through an accident or malicious intent via a third party. But if you cannot afford to replace it or repair it should it get damaged, you need to ensure it is fully covered by specific drone insurance.

Preparing Your Business For The Future: 11 Essential Considerations
A caveat with some drone insurers is that you have limitations on flying them and maintaining your policy. If you are planning on travelling a lot, this is important to give you peace of mind.

Practice Makes Perfect

Perfecting the art of drone flying has never been easier. Technology advancements have made learning to fly a drone relatively easy, and most people can pick it up quickly. However, just because it is easy to master the basics, it doesn’t mean you can always enhance your skills.

You can take online courses to improve your drone handling skills and photography and videography skills, along with apps you can download to your phone. One good point of call is the retailer or manufacturer of the drone, who can often have an extensive guide on how to get the best from your purchase.

Buy Accessories

Your drone may or may not come with added extras depending on your purchase. Once you have bought your drone and are used to using it, you may find that you want to take it out for more extended periods to get more experience.

Typically this will require you to have drone components to help you prolong your flying capabilities, including;

Spare battery
Car charging port
Storage case
Space propellers
Propellor guards
Battery charger

Pre Flight Checks

Not only do you need to check your drone and battery status before you fly, but you also need to do other checks in your local environment to make sure it is suitable for flying.

The wind frequently catches off people who are new to drones guard.
Each drone has a top-flight speed
 (airspeed). If the wind reaches this speed or higher, the drone will be unable to make considerable progress into the wind but will travel quite quickly downwind (meaning you could crash).

Before you go out, you can usually check the wind speed online, or you can download a wind speed app to use while you’re out in the field. In addition, your drone will come with an app that allows you to track it in the area. If it blows away from you, the app offers you a clear display of where it is, allowing you to determine if there is an issue usually.

Know The Rules

There are some basic rules regarding drone flying, and it pays to know what these are where you will intend to use your drone, but typically standard drone rules for considerate usage include;

No flying over 400 feet
No flight close to airports

ZTE 5G Innovations to Accelerate a New Wave of Industrial Transformation

ZTE Corporation shares leading edge innovations and technologies for various Malaysian industries

ZTE Corporation Malaysia recently organised a half day teleconference that highlighted the need for Malaysian industries and telecommunication operators to be open and receptive to the many opportunities that will manifest in the global post-pandemic era. This includes the implementation of efficient network modernisation and 5G evolution to support the growth of the country’s digital economy, promote industry reform and enhance socioeconomic values.

Featuring several of its top local and global executives, this virtual event, titled Empowering Digital Transformation, included key highlights such as the application of ZTE’s cutting-edge solutions and latest 5G innovations to address network transformation for 5G commercialization and deployment in the ecosystems including Urban, Extreme Data Venues and Data-Intensive Indoor.

A number of 5G business cases were also presented during the event to highlight how these new technologies are used around the world and can be applied in Malaysia in the digitalization efforts of a wide range of economic sectors.

This highly successful event which drew a wide-ranging audience including telecommunications operators, regulators and government agencies as well as private enterprises, was carefully curated by ZTE Malaysia. It shared information and cutting-edge developments of 5G around the world and how ZTE Malaysia can help the government and its partners to realise Malaysia’s national digitalization plan (Jendela) which aspires to increase coverage and strengthen Malaysia’s sustainable and inclusive Internet connectivity infrastructure.

In his keynote address, Bai Yang, Vice President of ZTE Corporation stressed on the transformative changes brought on by 5G and many other new information technologies. Examples of 5G used in the manufacturing, transportation and power sectors including that of renewable energy sources were illustrated. Bai Yang also stressed that ZTE is more than willing to cooperate with its partners to realise a new wave of iterative technology innovations in Malaysia.

The manufacturing sector which accounts for approximately 21% of Malaysia’s GDP is just one of the many key industries poised to benefit from digital transformation to turn production lines in manufacturing factories into “smart factories”. This can be done by creating 5G Standalone (SA) private networks. Bai Yang further elaborated that more efficient and intelligent production and manufacturing could be realized with lower power consumption through 5G Industrial Internet, Multi-access Edge Computing and Artificial Intelligence.

Sharing a 5G SA use case in Thailand, ZTE and Advanced Info Service (AIS), one of Thailand’s top wireless carriers and Internet service providers, are working in collaboration with Suranaree University of Technology (SUT) to develop Thailand’s first 5G smart factory. This was accomplished with the use of multiple advanced solutions such as 5G cloud machine vision, 5G industrial Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV), Augmented Reality (AR) remote guidance, Virtual Reality (VR) panoramic monitoring and unmanned inspection robots. These technologies could similarly be applied to Malaysia.

5G Innovations - ZTE Brings Mobile World Congress to Malaysia
Bai Yang also cited ZTE’s experiences in establishing China’s first 5G intelligent district in the Binjiang district of Nan Jing in 2019.  The coordinated incorporation of 5G within the industrial supply chain witnessed further growth in the use of 5G and promoted new 5G businesses in the surrounding areas. This enhanced not only production quality and improved worker safety but also upskilled workers to be able to meet the demands of the digital economy. ZTE had also showcased its 5G private network verticals in other industries such as the Austria 5G bee-o-meter and the Belgium Antwerp smart port.

He also pointed out that 5G and Cloud-based networks and services are already accelerating network convergence and are becoming increasingly crucial in building a unified and intelligent transport network for telcos, paramount for future network and services monetisation.

5G is definitely the future. A study compiled by IHS Markit (published in late 2019) underlines the potential of 5G. It projected that the use cases enabled by 5G will contribute a staggering USD 13.2 trillion to the global economy by 2035 and will be responsible for generating more than 22 million jobs. Malaysia cannot afford to be left behind.

In Malaysia, ZTE is working with its strategic partners DiGi, UMobile, TM and Celcom to bring quality connectivity to all Malaysians through the use of ZTE solutions and cutting-edge technologies. Malaysian operators will be able to leverage enhanced network capabilities in three key aspects – bandwidth, agility and scheduling to improve the quality of service, leading to better user experiences, and potentially wider access. This can be achieved with new innovations for 5G uplink enhancements and gigabit optical access for wired broadband.

Bai Yang also elaborated that due to innovations in base stations ZTE was able to improve the design of chipsets, power amplifiers and system integration for higher power efficiency while also aligning to the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) goals of companies and assisting Malaysian operators in building green networks more efficiently.

He also announced that ZTE was working with its partners to realise the Jendela initiatives to improve socioeconomic values and contribute towards knowledge transfer. This was to be accomplished through the establishment of the E2E Training Center in Multimedia University Melaka and the 5G Training Center in Multimedia University Cyberjaya by the end of 2021 which would not have been possible without the continuous support of ZTE’s partners and academia.

Here’s Why You Need to Add LG Styler Steam Cleaning to Your Laundry Routine

The importance of home appliances has progressed over the years with increasing consumer spending on clothing. Nowadays, we are looking for a more convenient alternative to using compact garment steamers that will help us with pollutant-free clothes.

Silk, cotton, batik – the yards of fabrics to choose from is overwhelming these days. The afterthought of splurging on clothes would be to think of ways to care for each article of garment especially when it comes to gentle care for the clothes you love. There is a way to gently care for your laundry and sanitise clothing efficiently while removing bacteria and allergen. How? Keep reading and you’ll find out!

Laundry care has not been the most talked about topic among Malaysians and yet it is one of the essential things we do at home — but how does being able to dry-clean your clothes at home sound? From virtually working to socially meeting online — people are beginning to dress up for any virtual sessions and wear all the clothes they missed out on wearing in the last year, even if it is just at home.

With the conventional wisdom that we all have, we would send our clothes to the dry-cleaners when we are allowed to and make sure our clothes look spiffy. However, with constant technological advancement, there’s a new breed of high-tech smart wardrobe on the market. One that does not only stores, but dry cleans clothing. Who knew we could now own such a capable, advanced wardrobe?

Not going to lie, we’ve never imagined that we would see a wardrobe like this. But with where technology is now, almost anything is possible. The brand-new LG Styler is the smart wardrobe helps with steam cleaning. Here’s why:

Hygienic Without Chemicals

Adequate sanitisation for our clothes and surrounding has become a necessity in every Malaysian household to maintain optimal hygiene. The demand for hygienic solutions has also increased. Keeping in mind that clothing is something we wear daily, it is also important to make sure that it isn’t exposed any possible microscopic airborne particles such as allergens, bacteria, and viruses. But we are wary of the chemicals we use to achieve that as they may not be good for overall health and the environment too.

In comes the LG Styler. Its TrueSteam™ technology sanitises clothing and fabrics with 100% water and eliminates 99.9% allergens, bacteria, and viruses. This innovative smart wardrobe can also help sanitise bedding and children’s soft toys. For some of us who don’t have the time for laundry, the LG Styler also offers a “refresh cycle” option that spruces and gives a makeover to any of your favourite suits or gowns in just 20 minutes.

Prolongs Clothes’ Lifespan

Want a wardrobe even Bernard Chandran himself would envy? We sometimes hold sentimental value to our clothes and cherish them for various reasons. We would pay extra attention to laundry care, which results in higher spending on dry-cleaning. Having something that can both keep our clothes hygienic, clean and prolonging their lifespan while fitting in perfectly with our home interior is a difficult task. What if there’s a solution that kills two birds with one stone?

The LG Styler would not only give you a 21
st
 century modern design and finish, but it also allows professional-level care for your clothes at home. The added bonus would be that you can now wear whichever outfit you want at any time without having to drop by the dry cleaners. Its sleek and stylish design truly enhances your home interior while its practical functions deliver a dry-cleaning session at home.

Quality Clothing Care

The general move away from fast fashion has been a catalyst of the “quality over quantity” school of thought when it comes to style. Malaysians are shifting towards shopping cautiously for better quality clothing, and these items may need better care.

With the heat pump system, the LG Styler has a low-temperature drying system that dries clothing faster than air drying. Clothes and fashion lover can now gently dry clothes that require special care without worrying about shrinkage or damage caused by heat with regular dryers. Care for suits, dresses, sweaters, and other delicate pieces of clothing becomes easier and more convenient. The LG Styler is also equipped with the Special Care mode that has tailor-made cycles for your clothing and customises every step of the laundry process to make sure your clothing stays new and prolong their lifespan.

Perfect for a Family

Every appliance in the home of a family has a singular goal of catering to the needs of each family member. When purchasing home appliances, our parents often look at the practicality of things. For the LG Styler, practicality works like a charm because it is not only catered to fashion lovers, but working adults, children, athletes or pet owners. If your family members are one or all of the mentioned, the LG Styler has got you.

The smart wardrobe is built to fit in up to three pieces of clothing and 1 pair of pants; it comes with the Moving Hanger that removes fine dust particles and allergens, wrinkles as well as odour in clothes with low noise operation at 41dB and 200 vibrations per minute, leaving them fresh as daisies! The LG Styler also dehumidifies closets and indoor spaces to keep the surrounding atmosphere refreshed. What’s more, it has an anti-wrinkle pants press hanger by the door, and a versatile rack for a variety of clothing. Whether it’s a suit, school uniform,
baju kurung
, towel, pillow, or a favourite stuffed toy, rest assured that the LG Styler will give you and your family the ultimate clothing or any fabric sanitisation and cleaning experience.

Remote Monitoring

Busy at work and you need to make sure you have something to wear the next day? As we work longer hours at home, it would be an added advantage to be able to have a smart wardrobe that we can keep track of remotely.

The LG ThinQ™ technology is embedded in the LG Styler that helps to operate or monitor your precious garments from anywhere, anytime. Through Wi-Fi connectivity and the LG ThinQ™ app, you can control, track energy consumption, or use Cycle Download to add newly developed care cycles. The app will also alert you when your garments are clean and ready to wear. One click of a button on your smart and all these can be done! Technology, am I right?

If we were to tell our parents or grandparents 10 years back that we now have smart wardrobes like this, they would call us crazy. As we pay more and more attention to the care and hygiene of the clothes we wear, the bed sheets we sleep on and even the
bantal busuk
 that we absolutely have to hug to sleep every night, we also need a versatile appliance that could help sanitise them. Having a home appliance that does that is most definitely an investment. Just think about how much it adds value to you and your family!
