The 2026 report continues to draw on data from SonicWall's global network of more than one million security sensors to reveal a threat landscape that is growing more precise and more relentless. Some key statistical findings include: High and medium severity attacks surged 20.8% to 13.15 billion hits. Attackers aren't striking more often, they're striking smarter. Automated bots now generate more than 36,000 vulnerability scans per second, accounting for more than half of all internet traffic. Bad bot traffic alone has surged to 37% of all global internet traffic. IoT attacks climbed 11% to 609.9 million hits; Log4j alone generated 824.9 million IPS hits in 2025, four years after disclosure. Identity, cloud, and credential compromise account for 85% of actionable security alerts. The stolen password, not the zero-day, is the attacker's weapon of choice. SMBs bear a disproportionate ransomware burden: 88% of their breaches involved ransomware in 2025, more than double the rate seen at large enterprises. "SonicWall data reveals attacks are getting faster, and in some instances, they're getting a little more sophisticated," said Michael Crean, SVP and GM of Managed Security Services at SonicWall. "But the vast majority of the attacks that we're seeing and investigating are ba ......read more

Organizations Overlook AI Risk as Governance Fails to Keep Up

TrendAI™ research reveals pressure to deploy AI for business speed is outpacing control, visibility and accountabilityHONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 2 April 2026 - TrendAI™, the enterprise AI security leader from Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), has published new research revealing that organizations worldwide are pushing ahead with AI deployment despite known security and compliance risks. To read the full report visit: https://www.trendmicro.com/explore/trendai-global-ai-study/ The new global study of 3,700 business and IT decision makers found that 67% have felt pressured to approve AI despite security concerns, with one in seven describing those concerns as "extreme" but overridden to keep pace with competitors and internal demand. Rachel Jin, Chief Platform & Business Officer, Head of TrendAI™: "Organizations are not lacking awareness of risk, they're lacking the conditions to manage it. When deployment is driven by competitive pressure rather than governance maturity, you create a situation where AI is embedded into critical systems without the controls needed to manage it safely. This research reenforces our focus on helping organizations drive solid business outcomes with AI while still managing business risk." The risk of pressure-driven AI rollout is exacerbated by governance inconsistencies and unclear responsibility for AI risk that are becoming widespread. The same is true for security teams working on a reactive basis to top-down AI rollout decisions, which often leads to workarounds and increased use of unsanctioned or "shadow" AI tools. Recent TrendAI™ threat research reinforces this shift, showing how attackers are already using AI to automate reconnaissance, accelerate phishing campaigns and lower the barrier to entry for cybercrime, increasing both the speed and scale of attacks. AI adoption is outpacing control Organizations are deploying AI faster than they can manage the associated risks, creati ......read more

ExpertRA Hits Key Milestone, Amassing a 500-User Community by Simplifying BizSAFE Compliance for SMEs

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 1 April 2026 - Homegrown compliance technology platform ExpertRA has reached a significant milestone, building a community of over 500 users within just two years by addressing one of the most persistent challenges faced by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs): navigating bizSAFE compliance efficiently.

Chris Chen, CEO of ExpertRA
Designed to simplify workplace safety compliance, ExpertRA is an intelligent software platform that enables companies to generate bizSAFE documentation and conduct risk assessments systematically. By leveraging a comprehensive industry-specific database, the platform helps businesses identify potential workplace hazards and produce compliant documentation that aligns with workplace safety and health (WSH) standards.

However, the process can often be daunting, requiring extensive documentation, technical knowledge and, in many cases, reliance on external consultants. This creates barriers for smaller businesses with limited resources. ExpertRA was developed to bridge this gap. Through an intuitive interface, users can identify workplace risks and generate tailored documentation based on their specific industry and operational needs. By digitising and standardising the workflow, the platform significantly reduces the time required to complete compliance processes while also lowering costs. “Our growth to over 500 users reflects a clear need among SMEs for simpler and more accessible compliance s ......read more

Representing approximately ?2.1 billion (US$35 million) in capital investment, this undertaking will bring clean, reliable, 24/7 quality electricity to 11,560 households, benefiting over 50,000 people and local enterprises, across previously unserved or underserved communities in Palawan, Cebu, and Quezon.

Goodbye Pill Fatigue: Food-Like Supplements Rise in Malaysia; Wel-Bloom’s Exclusive Jelly Format Supports Brands Seize the Market

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - Media OutReach Newswire - 31 March 2026 - Traditional capsules and tablets are losing appeal among young consumers. According to Nutraceuticals World, non-pill dietary supplements now account for 65% of total market sales. As consumers develop a physical or psychological aversion to capsules and medicinal odors—a phenomenon known as "Pill Fatigue"—the Malaysian health market is officially pivoting toward "Food-like Dosage Forms."

The Surge of Functional Jellies and Gummies Across Asia, demand for functional jellies and gummies that offer convenience with appealing taste has surged. Market research projects the global functional jelly and gummy market to grow at a robust Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 11.7% through 2032. However, transitioning from pills to food-like formats presents a significant technical hurdle: potency vs. palatability. High-end anti-aging and beauty ingredients often possess strong natural odors or bitter aftertastes. To mask these, many health supplement manufacturers traditionally reduce the active ingredients, resulting in products that function more like "candy" than effective dietary supplements. Wel-Bloom: Breaking the "Candy vs. Supplement" Barrier To address these bottlenecks, Wel-Bloom, a leader of jelly supplement in Taiwan, offers Malaysian brands advanced solutions: Nutri-Crypt® Coating Technology: A specialized coating for premium ingredients that effectively blocks and masks strong odors, addressing key consumer sensory concerns. FRESH-Jelly® Functional Jelly: This patented technology ensures excellent palatability while preserving up to 97.8% of active ingredients, enabling higher dosages beyond capsule limitations—both delicious and effective.

Seed Medical Launches Comprehensive Psychiatric Services Hong Kong Mental Health Hits Record High; Experts Warn on AI Reliance

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 30 March 2026 - Mental health in Hong Kong has reached a critical "red light" status. According to last year's "The Mental Health Association of Hong Kong” survey1, the average scores for depression and anxiety among Hong Kong residents reached 7.27 and 5.9, respectively—marking the highest levels recorded since 2012. The findings highlight that Gen Z (aged 18 to 24) faces the most severe mental health crisis, with a strong correlation identified between excessive electronic device usage and emotional distress. When facing emotional lows, as many as 55% of respondents remain hesitant to seek professional help, while "AI Assistants" have climbed to the sixth most popular choice for seeking support for the first time. In response to these trends, Seed Medical has launched its new Specialist Psychiatric Services, providing comprehensive mental health support for children, adults, and the elderly. Covering conditions such as ADHD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder), ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), and various symptoms of anxiety, the clinic provides professional clinical diagnoses and urges the public not to over-rely on virtual interactions, which may lead to missing the "golden window" for effective treatment. Virtual Interaction Cannot Replace Human Connection; Emotional Support Still Requires a "Human Touch" As AI emerges as a new channel for emotional expression, its immediacy and low barrier to access have made it easier for many individuals to “open up” when facing stress. However, experts note that AI interactions are fundamentally based on algorithms and data-driven responses, and may not accurately capture an individual’s personal context or emotional depth. Mr. Wong Man Shun2, Deputy Executive Director of the Hong Kong Mental Health Association, cautioned that for individuals already experiencing emotional distress, treating AI-generated content as reality or relying on virtual interaction in plac ......read more

PolyU researchers pioneer novel multi-energy field-assisted diamond cutting technology, enabling ultra-precision manufacturing for high-performance materials

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 30 March 2026 - Machining, involving the precise cutting and shaping of materials, is a key manufacturing process. As industries increasingly adopt the use of high-performance materials with high strength and hardness, traditional machining methods often fall short in delivering the required precision. A research team at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has developed a ground-breaking machining technology that combines laser and magnetic fields during diamond cutting, enhancing cutting smoothness and surface quality while reducing a material's subsurface damage and tool wear. This dual-field approach demonstrates exceptional manufacturing capabilities that surpass existing field-assisting cutting techniques, making possible ultra-precision machining of a range of challenging advanced materials.

Beijing's latest development roadmap arrives at a critical moment, as the world is grappling with geopolitical tensions, economic fragmentation and climate change. With these challenges mounting, many international observers are exploring how this blueprint will shape future development trajectories within China and beyond.

China's 15th Five-Year Plan Charting Solutions in an Uncertain World
Achim Steiner, former administrator of the United Nations Development Programme, regards green transition, which takes center stage in China's 15th Five-Year Plan, as one of the defining economic shifts of the coming decades. He emphasizes that China's leadership on renewable energy, ranging from solar panels to electric vehicles, have not only driven down global costs, but also turned technologies like EVs that were once considered "luxury and privilege" into accessible tools for people's daily lives. He noted such a giant leap in green technology represents a frontline opportunity for transformation on the African continent, where over 600 million people still lack electricity. Steiner believes the green mindset adopted by Beijing will help many developing nations to avoid catastrophic fallout from climate change. And as certain western nations waver on climate commit ......read more

A Citri Mobile technician performing internal diagnostics at a fully equipped repair station in Singapore.
What often begins as a minor inconvenience can quickly escalate. A phone may take longer to charge, a screen may flicker briefly before stabilising, or a laptop may run hotter than usual during routine use. These early signs are often ignored until the device stops functioning at a critical moment. In recent months, technicians have observed a noticeable increase in cases involving sudden power loss, charging instability, motherboard-related faults and water damage. These issues often appear gradually before escalating into complete device failure, reflecting a broader shift in how modern devices behave under long-term usage. Across Singapore, users are increasingly facing device failures at moments where immediate access is essential. A phone may stop responding during a payment, a transport app may fail to load before a journey, or a laptop may refuse to power on just before an important task.

Valle Venia presents: LPS feat. Natalia Sarsgard: J’ai dû m’arrêter

NEUSTADT AN DER WEINSTRASSE, GERMANY - Newsaktuell - 27 March 2026 - The song by Leo Philipp Schmidt and Valle Venia captures the feeling of losing oneself in a world that is growing ever louder and faster, where restlessness and superficiality cause relationships, friendships, and connections to dissolve and be sacrificed.

J'ai dû m'arrêter LPS feat. Natalia Sarsgard/Leo Philipp Schmidt
With emotional depth, singer Natalia Sarsgard describes the path to finding oneself again, to gathering one's thoughts, to remaining silent, to withdrawing—in order to reflect in the silence, in the comfort, and in the seclusion, to feel and reconnect with ourselves and others. Through her multifaceted voice, Natalia Sarsgard's interpretation of the song conveys how strength and courage can arise from deep vulnerability. Without even realizing it, one is accompanied by the confidence that what was thought to be lost can be found again.
