Trend Micro has announced the launch of the new PC-cillin 2020 cloud version. It has also created the cybersecurity brand's first pop-up store, the "C-cillin Anti-Fraud Room," which will run from now until September 9nd in the lobby on the first floor of Eslite Macao. This will allow the public to experience the various online fraud crises that netizens face in their daily lives, demonstrating how PC-cillin 22 provides comprehensive protection for online security.
According to Trend Micro, phishing has become the main attack method used by cybercriminals. In the first half of 2019, more than 4 million malicious URL threats were intercepted globally. In addition to email, which is well known to the public, hackers are also trying to expand the scope of attacks through multiple channels such as instant messaging and mobile phone text messages, making the unsuspecting public more vulnerable to hacking.
Especially between June and August this year, the majority of malicious URLs for fraudulent purposes were online scams, phishing, fake system update messages, and fake technical support notifications. In just three months, the number of fraudulent malicious URLs detected by global users accidentally clicking on them increased by 6% compared to the previous three months.
Cybercriminals not only use emails for phishing, but also use legitimate advertisements via text messages, instant messaging, online social networks or portals to lure consumers in by mixing them with everyday life issues.
For example, scammers use fake home delivery text messages such as "The express has been sent, please check it," or one-page advertisements that use celebrity endorsements to sell clothing. This lowers consumers' vigilance and tricks them into clicking on fraudulent websites, entering their personal information and passwords, or even downloading malicious programs, in order to defraud them of money or steal their personal information.
Trend Micro announced the launch of PC-cillin 2020 Cloud Edition, which not only strengthens protection against online fraud and personal information, but also offers exclusive features to comprehensively safeguard computers and mobile phones, allowing consumers to enhance their security through the following features:
Smart Antivirus:
By leveraging advanced artificial intelligence and integrating existing multi-layered protection technologies, it provides precise and immediate protection against various unknown threats, and blocks financially targeted ransomware, online fraud, and other security threats.
Preventing fraud:
It uses the latest web page detection technology to greatly enhance the detection and protection capabilities for phishing and fraudulent websites, and can block the latest fraudulent and malicious websites before users are exposed to them.
Safe online shopping:
"Anxin Pay" provides multiple layers of online transaction protection, allowing users to block malicious attacks aimed at stealing transaction information when browsing shopping websites or using online banking.
Light and undisturbed:
PC-cillin 2020 Cloud Edition is not only lightweight but also features a "Distraction-Free Mode" specifically designed for gamers. When gaming or working in full-screen mode, Distraction-Free Mode automatically activates, pausing non-urgent notifications, scheduled scans, or apps like LINE while still providing full security protection.
As for the security protection of mobile devices, Trend Micro has added two exclusive features: Scam Killer and SafePay Mobile.
Among them, the Scam Killer function allows users to scan images and take photos or screenshots directly with their mobile phones to pre-check the security of the URL in the image.
The SafePay mobile version can also prevent fake Wi-Fi hijacking, blanket malicious Aapp attacks, and avoid device vulnerabilities, allowing users to pay with greater peace of mind through mobile apps or conduct online shopping.
In conjunction with the launch of PC-cillin 2020 Cloud Edition, Trend Micro is offering a special offer to customers who purchase three new PC-cillin 2020 Protection Edition devices and log in to receive a limited edition Collector's Edition EasyCard (containing NT$200 in stored value).
