That’s not surprising because many people assume that most of life will take place on a computer or phone… More Internet usage means more scammers have a great opportunity to reach victims We recommend anyone who wants to invest to do their own research first, check every detail before transferring money or sharing personal information… Guys Scammers often put up ads that look professional and trustworthy, with pictures of celebrities that make people think it’s a legitimate investment,” Beach said. A Nottingham police representative advised people to double-check information if invited to invest via call, email or social media. The warning from Nottingham comes after British authorities launched a new campaign, urging people to be on the lookout for investment offers, to report immediately if there are signs of fraud. In May, a woman in the UK was scammed more than $12,000 after reading an article titled “Tesla buys $1.5 billion in Bitcoin, plans to give away $750 million worth of Bitcoin” on the BBC. fake. The article urges readers to send a Bitcoin to an e-wallet, after which “Mr. Musk” will double the amount. After sending over $12,000 worth of Bitcoins with no response, this woman realized she had been scammed. She said this is the money saved to buy a new house. How harmful is Bitcoin to the environment? To mine Bitcoin, one needs a lot of miners that work 24/7. The carbon footprint of Bitcoin mining is equivalent to Argentina’s entire carbon footprint.

On May 24, Huawei issued the “Statement Regarding Huawei Not Building Cars” stating that the company spokesperson has repeatedly clarified the false rumors about Huawei building cars. Today, we reiterate that Huawei does not build cars. This long-term strategy was clear in 2018, and nothing has changed. Huawei also stated that it will not participate in investing in any car companies, and BAIC (600166), Changan (000625) and Guangzhou Automobile Group (601238) will only serve as strategic partners and use Huawei’s solutions to help them create future-oriented car. The cooperation with Jinconcelis is also to solve the current survival problem of Huawei authorized mobile phone retail stores. On the 24th, affected by the “Huawei does not build cars” statement, Huawei’s automotive concept stocks fell across the board. Changan Automobile and BAIC Blue Valley fell by the limit. Xiaokang shares (601127.SH) plummeted by more than six points, and Guangzhou Automobile Group fell by as much as six points. 4.32%. Huawei denies building cars again In the “Statement on Huawei Not Building Cars,” Huawei said: We believe that what the industry needs is not Huawei brand cars, but Huawei’s accumulated ICT technology capabilities over 30 years to help automakers build future-oriented cars. , That is, to provide car companies with intelligent networked auto parts based on Huawei’s ICT capabilities. So far, we have not invested in any car companies. In the future, it will not invest in any auto companies, nor will it hold or participate in shares. In the future, all discussions that Huawei builds cars or participates in the auto manufacturing industry are rumours and don’t be credulous. We have chosen BAIC, Changan and Guangzhou Automobile as our strategic partners to support them in building their respective sub-brands. Cars that use Huawei’s autonomous driving solution can only use the HI logo with Huawei’s authorization, which represents Huawei Inside. Regarding the cooperation between Huawei and Jincon Sailus, a subsidiary of Chongqing Xiaokang Group, Huawei is a supplier of electric components for Celes SF5 and HiCar cockpit components. At the same time, in order to solve the problem of survival of Huawei authorized mobile phone retail stores in the situation where Huawei’s mobile phones are greatly reduced, Huawei is supporting some retail stores to sell this car, and retail stores can obtain corresponding benefits. It can be seen from Huawei’s statement that Huawei’s positioning of itself has not changed, and that it is a provider of automotive intelligent network components. Huawei will not directly enter the vehicle manufacturing industry, and rumors about “Huawei making cars” in the market are all false. Huawei said that it can help car companies build good cars. Of course, Huawei has the strength to fulfill its promises. Huawei has launched a comprehensive layout around the three core areas of “smart driving, smart cabin, and three-electricity”. On April 18, at the Huawei HI new product launch conference, Wang Jun, President of Huawei Smart Car Solutions BU, said that Huawei will release five new products, covering smart cockpits, computing platforms, radars, autonomous driving open platforms and thermal management systems. “From the perspective of business portfolio and technical solutions, Huawei’s full-stack self-developed almost all core businesses of smart cars, including hardware and software. Tesla’s advantage is the massive trip data of global users, Baidu’s advantage is algorithms, and Huawei’s However, the advantages of the company are all-round, and it can open up the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain. This kind of strength is not possessed by new car-building forces or cross-border car-building technology companies.” Industry insiders analyzed and said to reporters. “Catch up” with Huawei’s car companies Although Huawei has always stated that it will not build cars, rumors about Huawei building cars in the market have been uninterrupted. It was reported on March 9 that Huawei and GAC Group’s new energy vehicle company GAC Aian had begun to jointly develop the next generation of smart electric vehicles. Both parties invested in R&D teams of more than 100 people. After the news was released, on the same day, GAC Group’s AH shares soared collectively, with A shares rising 6.39% and H shares rising 4.26%. At the end of April, there was news that Huawei was negotiating with Xiaokang shares to acquire a controlling stake in Chongqing Jinkang New Energy Automobile, in order to produce smart cars with the Huawei brand. Subsequently, Shen Wei, the secretary of the board of Xiaokang shares, said that the cooperation with Huawei was only in business, and he clearly denied that Huawei will control or participate in Jinkang. And Huawei also said that “there is no such thing.” But even denying it will not affect the performance of Xiaokang shares in the capital market. The share price of Xiaokang shares has risen from around 23 yuan in early April to 66.54 yuan on May 18, which has soared nearly three times. Since the new energy vehicle Cyrus SF5 under Xiaokang shares entered the Huawei Mall on April 19, only one week, the order of Cyrus SF5 reached 6,000. In sharp contrast, the sales volume of SF5 in 2020 is only 732 units. SF5’s weekly sales volume is eight times that of last year’s full-year orders. On the eve of the Shanghai Auto Show on April 17, Huawei and BAIC New Energy Jihu released the first smart car jointly created-Alpha S, officially called the “global new benchmark for autonomous driving.” Since then, BAIC Blue Valley’s share price has risen from about 12 yuan in mid-April to a peak of more than 19 yuan. At the Shanghai Auto Show on April 20, Changan Automobile’s chairman Zhu Huarong revealed that he has teamed up with CATL and Huawei to create a smart electric networked vehicle platform (ie CHN). The plan for high-end smart electric vehicles is on track, and a new high-end brand name is about to come. Announced. On May 20, Changan Automobile issued an announcement to formally rename its holding subsidiary Changan Weilai New Energy Automobile Technology Co., Ltd. to Avita Technology Co., Ltd., and jointly create autonomous and controllable intelligent electric vehicles with Changan Automobile, Huawei and CATL The connected car platform (CHN) creates a rich series of smart car products. On May 21, the share price of Changan Automobile rose 8.46% to close at 25 yuan per share. In the past 40 trading days, the share price of Changan Automobile rose 76%. Although in this process, Huawei has not formally stated its position to build cars, news about Huawei’s participation in car building has been spread out one after another, which has continuously aroused the enthusiasm of the market. As long as car companies have a relationship with Huawei, the market will definitely buy it, and it will have the most direct manifestation in the stock price. And this time Huawei completely denies building a car, which can be regarded as breaking the market’s thinking about Huawei building a car. Huawei’s 2020 annual report shows that its growth has slowed sharply, with annual revenue of 891.4 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of only 3.8%. In the previous three years, Huawei has achieved a year-on-year growth of about 19%. On April 28, Huawei announced its operating results for the first quarter of 2021. Due to the sales of Honor and the decline in mobile phone sales, operating income fell 16.9% year-on-year to 150.57 billion yuan. Huawei’s overall revenue is expected to face greater pressure in 2021. “The automotive business may be the focus of Huawei’s efforts in the next few years. Huawei needs to find new profit growth points. At the moment when smart cars are in the air, with Huawei’s technical strength, they choose to help automakers build good cars instead of their own. It is undoubtedly a safe and wise choice to build a car in person.” said the industry insider. Editor: Zhai Yanan Editor: Wang Dayong

The victim said that on June 18, 2020, he had invested in GBhub Company and was introduced to this business as a partner of… Google. The reason is that after consulting and researching, this retail investor saw that GBhub Company has a logo similar to Google’s logo, and there are many websites associated with the “giant” of technology Google. Therefore, Mr. Du trusted him, so he invested without thinking much. To open an ID (account) to log into the company’s website, Mr. Du must pay an account activation fee and receive weekly interest. CEO of GBhub . Company After officially becoming an investor of GBhub Company, Mr. Du was given a promise to make investors throughout the provinces and cities in the country more confident such as: opening a visa payment gateway in August and September 2020; open a private exchange of GBPro coin for investors to trade on the exchange quickly; opened an investment fund company, a Block Chain academy in Vietnam in October; and finally opened the “banking portal” GBCloudbank (self-proclaimed international affiliated bank; trading more than 22 different currencies around the world) in November of the same year. Through this “banking portal”, GBhub company said it will pay interest daily and withdraw money directly from USD to VND. Initially, the company paid interest for regular withdrawal so that investors had confidence in the future of the business, so some people in different provinces and cities also put their savings to invest in. However, up to now, GBhub Company has not fulfilled any promises, only opening GBCloudbank and allowing investors to withdraw money in the first month. After that, this account… does not allow withdrawal anymore. For example, investors deposit 10,000 USD, then they will receive interest of 40% of the deposited amount. The next week, they paid $6,000 again, and got a 40% interest again. The third time, they have to enter 10 thousand USD, this time they can withdraw 40% of the amount paid. The fourth time, they paid another 10 thousand USD and the company… locked the phone. GBhub . Company’s “explosive” advertisement From January 2021 up to now, virtual currency participants have not been able to withdraw a single coin from the bank portal and were also emailed by a representative of Google Vietnam “warning about abuse of power and spreading fake logo images”. by Google”. The money that they are receiving daily interest will be sold to the so-called “managers” in Vietnam at extremely low prices compared to the USD price.Currently, the company has blocked the contact of phase 1 investors. with stage 2 and lock the ID (password) so that these victims can do nothing more. According to our research, many victims have used money in savings books, even borrowed, mortgaged real estate documents… to participate in playing virtual money and “lost money”. On April 6, GBhub Company held an office opening ceremony on Le Hong Phong Street (P2Q10) but did not have… a license to operate. Then, on April 24, this business also opened an office in Nghe An, located on Nguyen Quoc Tri Street (Hung Binh Ward, Vinh City). The director of this company is both Malaysian and Vietnamese. On its website, the company advertises that “global membership will surpass one million in the next three years”. LS Nguyen Thi Sinh (Ho Chi Minh City Bar Association) said that the Ministry of Finance needs to coordinate with departments and sectors to come up with regulations to protect the rights and interests of investors when investing in the virtual currency market. Despite always being warned about potential risks, what makes virtual money still attractive to investors is the huge profit offered to attract. Not to mention, more sophisticated, many virtual currency exchanges also entice investors to buy real virtual currencies, then use these virtual currencies to buy back “junk” virtual money to make high profits, then investors lose everything. their investment amount. Currently, many people are interested in investing in GBhub, especially the elderly in rural areas. It is easy for them to lose money for real money investment games on virtual networks because the servers are located abroad. The company will call from person to person to transact with cryptocurrencies in a short period of time, to avoid statements and documents. After that, the company will close the server (server), that is, delete all original data information of customers, causing them to lose money.

Bitcoin and Ethereum are the two largest cryptocurrencies on the market today. Photo: Getty The days when Bitcoin was the only option for investors looking to get rich in the crypto market are now a thing of the past. Ether, the world’s second-largest digital currency, has just continued to set new records as interest in so-called altcoins continues to soar. Dogecoin, which was originally a joke, now has a market value of nearly $ 90 billion. For the majority of people, the 2 biggest cryptocurrencies still receive the greatest interest. Both Bitcoin and Ether had a great start in 2021, Bitcoin’s price doubled, Ether also more than quadrupled, compared with an 11% increase in the S&P 500 index. Where to invest in Ether Ether is the most commonly used token in the world, and Ethereum is also the currency that Microsoft Corp pays for in exclusive digital art (NFT) purchases and sales, which are causing the ‘ fever ‘in the market recently. Pat LaVecchia, CEO of trading platform Oasis Pro Markets, said, “Ether is a blockchain platform has the same role as the app stores of Apple and Android”. Whereas “Bitcoin is a commodity like gold, or is a store of value”. Unlike Bitcoin, where many features (eg supply) have been fixed since inception, the Ethereum platform is still evolving with updates that promise to help improve the system. It is even possible that regulations change and cause the supply to drop, which will drive Ether prices up. “Investors often see Ethereum as a growth investment, betting on a decentralized ecosystem that continues to evolve,” said Phil Bonello, research director at Grayscale Investments. Bitcoin investment case Although Bitcoin’s lead has weakened somewhat recently, Bitcoin now accounts for about 46% of the total crypto market cap, compared to almost 70% at the start of the year. However, according to crypto tracking firm CoinGecko, it remains the largest digital currency in the world with a market value of more than $ 1 trillion, compared with Ethereum’s $ 380 billion. Bitcoin is still the choice of big businesses. Tesla and MicroStrategy buys Bitcoin, not Ether. When Paul Tudor Jones or Ray Dalio talk about cryptocurrencies, they just talk about Bitcoin. Cornerstone Macro analysts have studied how Bitcoin and Ether prices played during a plunge.

Thousands of emails and documents from the citizenship and citizenship consulting firm Henley & Partners have revealed an unprecedented “door” on the mechanism of the so-called “golden passport” program, in which countries are semi-national. citizenship for foreign giants. This revelation showed for the first time how some people buy Malta passports through a government investment program, allowing them to pretend they are “residing” in the country for a year by renting an apartment. then leave it blank. Two weeks to own a “golden passport” Officially known as the Individual Investor, this program is designed to attract wealthy investors and enrich the national budget. Eight years ago, Malta announced plans to “sell” passports making the European Union (EU) not satisfied. The EU authorities are concerned that “buyers” can travel freely within the EU and Schengen bloc as well as be able to travel to many countries without applying for a visa in advance. In January 2014, a spokesperson for the European Commission gave a speech contradicting the proposals and stressed that EU members should only provide passports to individuals with “real affiliation”. to their country. After two weeks, the issue was somewhat resolved when the Government of Malta released a joint statement announcing anyone “buying” Maltese citizenship would need to reside in the country for one year, while also demonstrating the authenticity of the relationship with their new home. However, Malta’s golden passport program does not specify “place of residence”. Government officials also eluded when asked about the ratio between those who applied for a 12-month period and those who would actually be present.

The vulnerability has allowed some customers, who pay more than 1 million euros under the program, to successfully confirm that they have an “authentic link” with Malta. What they need to do is just spend a few weeks there and do a few activities over the loudspeaker, such as yacht rental or donation to a local charity. Guardian reviewed 250 open letters clients sent to Henley explaining their intentions to Malta. Internal emails show customers constantly asking if they can spend less time here. In the case of a 2014 Middle East client, the representative even asked their manager if “would go to Malta in about 7-14 days (ie the minimum time period) to take a biometrics. study and register and receive card (residence) ”. “If it is not possible to visit for longer, opening a bank account, donating to local charities and becoming a member of a local club will help demonstrate the bond with the country,” the manager answer. This advice shows that instead of 12 months, it seems just two weeks is enough to get a “golden passport” here. “The applicant does not have to be present in that country,” advised a client. “However, in order to create an ‘authenticity link’, (the Malta government) would appreciate it with at least 14 days’ time.” Out of all 250 letters, the applicant’s average commitment to stay in Malta is 16 days. Two bedrooms for 12 people To demonstrate commitment to a new home, Malta “golden passport” applicants will be required to invest € 1.15 million in the country, including a purchase of at least a real estate. 350,000 euros or a 5-year rental for 80,000 euros.

In one case, Chinese citizens even rented a two-bedroom apartment for 1,500 euros / month despite applying for citizenship for 12 people, including 6 children. A Maltese citizenship-seeking South African businessman refused to pay Henley an apartment management fee on the grounds that no one would visit it. “The apartment is not used, no one will be there in a year,” he complained in a letter to the company. Malta’s immigration regulatory loopholes have the potential to have serious consequences such as security risks, money laundering, tax evasion, corruption and the risk of escaping water criminals. outside of residence, traveling freely within the EU territory. The European Union Commission recently accused Malta of “selling” citizenship, allowing individuals with little or no connection to the EU. However, the Malta government denied any allegations that the country’s residency requirement was “fake”. It argued that “authentic links” are not defined in EU law and the government of Malta “sets the rules as well as makes the final decision on all citizenship applications”.

A global customer survey conducted by Statista shows that Vietnam has the second highest cryptocurrency usage rate in the world, after Nigeria.

With millions of dollars traded every month, cryptocurrency exchanges are a good prey for cybercriminals. Fraudulent acts on electronic transactions include developer and investor information collection; attack with malware, phishing, malicious code, fake notification, navigate to fake website, DDoS … and steal electronic wallet security key.

A notorious cybercrime gang that targets cryptocurrencies is Lazarus and its members. Since 2019, Kaspersky researchers’ investigations show that Lazarus is behind the recent attacks in Singapore.

BlueNoroff, “family member” Lazarus specializing in the financial attack, is also said to be carrying out cryptocurrency-related attacks in Southeast Asia under the name SnatchCrypto.

The gang targeted banks, and was also accused of being involved in the theft of $ 81 million by Bangladeshi banks. Kaspersky researchers have been tracking SnatchCrypto since the end of 2019 and found that the guys behind the campaign have resumed operations with a similar strategy.

Chris Connell, Managing Director of Kaspersky Asia Pacific said: “In the near future there will be more new crypto investors across Southeast Asia as the bargains from different cryptocurrencies are undeniable, and Vietnam is one of the countries that are at the forefront of this transformation.

The development of cryptocurrencies is an integral part of digital transformation in the region and in Vietnam, so we encourage individuals who access these financial technologies to have a basic knowledge of security measures to keep our cryptocurrency safe ”.

Experts at Kaspersky share some basic ways to protect yourself against cybercriminals on cryptocurrency exchanges:

– Transaction research: Before investing, learn about cryptocurrency exchanges. These platforms provide the means for buying and selling virtual currency units, but there are over 500 transactions to choose from. Do research, read feedback and talk to experienced investors before going any further.

– Know how to keep your virtual currency: After purchasing cryptocurrency, you need to keep it. There are different types of wallets, each with different benefits, technical requirements and security. When trading, you should research your storage options before you invest.

– Diversification of investment: Diversification is the key to any smart investing strategy, and so is when you invest in cryptocurrencies. Don’t put all your capital into Bitcoin just because it’s the only name you know. There are thousands of options, and it’s best to divide your investments by a few different currencies.

– Prepare for instability: Cryptocurrency is a volatile market, be prepared for volatility. You will see amazing fluctuations in prices. If your investment ability or mental health cannot tolerate volatility, then cryptocurrencies may not be a wise investment.

Cryptocurrency is booming, but it’s still in its infancy. Investing in something new always presents challenges, so be prepared. If you are planning to invest, do your research carefully and invest carefully.

– Always give security: Transacting using your home network is safer than using a public network, but you need the right security. For starters, it’s a good idea to change the default router password because the root password is usually the same for all routers of the same model, making your WiFi vulnerable to attack.

In any case, it is best to do all electronic transactions over an encrypted VPN channel, which will add an extra layer of security.

When choosing a VPN service, pay attention to the connection speed (depending on the number and quality of the server group of the provider).
