• OKC Liquid Staking lowers barriers to entry for staking while allowing users to deploy staked tokens elsewhere
• Users can stake OKT through Liquid Staking to receive up to 40% APR

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Dec. 20, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — OKC (OKX Chain), the EVM and IBC-compatible chain backed by OKX, has announced the launch of its Liquid Staking protocol. Liquid Staking is a key element of the rapidly-expanding DeFi ecosystem on OKC. It provides a way for OKC users to effectively and flexibly utilize the chain’s native token, OKT, while offering users staking rewards of up to 40% APR.

Better Liquidity & Asset Utilization for OKC Users
By offering users staking rewards with no minimum token investment requirement and no lock-up period, Liquid Staking addresses problems with conventional staking products that include inaccessibility and illiquidity.

OKC Liquid Staking also allows users to earn staking rewards on their OKT while deploying the tokens in other protocols. Users can utilize Liquid Staking to stake OKT and receive stOKT (staked OKT) in return. They can then deploy the stOKT in on-chain DeFi protocols to earn more rewards or swap the stOKT for OKT on the OKX DEX.

Chai Li, Head of Ecosystem Development, OKC, said: “Liquid Staking is a key element of our vision for promoting decentralization and creating more opportunities for OKX users. Liquid Staking adds liquidity and utility of assets, and also plays an important role in boosting on-chain TVL and ecosystem development. We’re thrilled to see Liquid Staking grow in parallel with OKC’s other DeFi products and lay the foundation for advanced protocols being developed on-chain in the future.”

Bolstering the OKC Ecosystem
OKC, also known as OKX Chain, is built to empower DeFi and Web3 adoption globally. It offers DApp developers the means to deploy their applications and crypto assets on the OKC ecosystem while enjoying the benefits of high throughput, low gas fees, and a secure network.

The launch of Liquid Staking is expected to contribute to a higher TVL (or total value locked) on the OKC network, allowing it to further expand its capabilities and the benefits it offers to users.

Users can now stake OKT through OKC Liquid Staking to receive rewards of up to 40% APR.

Bali’s iconic Villa Bayuh Sabbha invites expressions of interest for sale as a grand family estate or development site after being rezoned for the highest level of use; tourism zoning allowing the development of hotels, condominiums, apartments, villas and beach clubs.

DENPASAR, Indonesia, Dec. 20, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a rare opportunity for investors, the iconic cliff-top Balinese villa estate of Bayuh Sabbha is seeking expressions of interest. Sprawled over 13,700 sqm of land, the estate has a built-up area of 1407 sqm that includes five generously-sized en suite bedrooms, plus one media room that can be converted into a sixth bedroom.

Key points:

• Massive cliff-top property sprawling over 13,700 sqm of land with 180-degree ocean views and 20 years of rental income history.
• Newly rezoned to the most attractive category of tourism zoning, the property can be developed into hotels, condominiums, apartments, villas and beach clubs.
• Rare expanse of 250m of direct cliff-top frontage, and direct access to the world-class Bingin Beach, safe for swimming and surfing.
• Five generous en suite bedrooms, two swimming pools, a fully equipped gymnasium, a media room (convertible into a sixth bedroom), and a floodlit tennis court.

Usage

This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity. The property has recently been rezoned to be included in the highest category of tourism zoning. This allows for the land to be developed into hotels, condominiums, apartments, villas and even beach clubs. The estate can also be held privately as a grand family estate or a development site for a minimum of five standalone villas.

Layout

The current layout houses three bedrooms in the main villa, a main ocean-view pool, and a separate self-contained guest area with two bedrooms, a separate infinity pool, open-sided dining and living areas, a fully equipped kitchen and an extra washroom. It has been named by the Insider as one of the ‘10 luxury rentals with the best bathtub views in the world‘.

Facilities

Five-star facilities include a floodlit tennis court, a fully equipped gymnasium, a media room, an air-conditioned study, and endless gardens with proven event income history of more than 20 years.

Location

The property is being sold fully furnished and is a fantastic opportunity for investors to capitalise on the rising allure of Bali’s Bukit Peninsula. Earlier known for the majestic Uluwatu Temple and Bingin Beach for world-class surfing (private access from the villa), it is fast becoming Bali’s latest hotspot with exciting dining concepts, beach clubs, surfing, cafes and concept stores.

Rare Investment Opportunity

Villa Bayuh Sabbha is Bali’s most strategic development site, with 1.37 hectares of prime land, including 250 meters of ocean-view frontage. One of the earliest properties to be developed along Bali’s spectacular southwest coast, it speaks of an era of grandeur and scale. They just don’t make properties like this anymore.

Between July and October, Acronis found that the proportion of phishing attacks has risen by 1.3x, accounting for 76% of all attacks – an 18% increase from a prior Acronis report released earlier this year.

SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland, Dec. 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Acronis, a global leader in cyber protection, today released its latest cyberthreats and trends report for the second half of 2022 which found that phishing and the use of MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) fatigue attacks, an extremely effective method used in high-profile breaches, are on the rise. Conducted by the Acronis Cyber Protection Operation Center, the report provides an in-depth analysis of the cyberthreat landscape including ransomware threats, phishing, malicious websites, software vulnerabilities and a security forecast for 2023.

Of note, the report found that threats from phishing and malicious emails have increased by 60%, and the average cost of a data breach is expected to reach $5 million by next year. The research team who authored the report also saw social engineering attacks jump in the last four months, accounting for 3% of all attacks. Leaked or stolen credentials, which allow attackers to easily execute cyberattacks and ransomware campaigns, were the cause of almost half of all reported breaches in the first half of 2022.

“The last few months have proven to be as complex as ever – with new threats constantly emerging and malicious actors continuing to use the same proven playbook for big payouts,” said Candid Wüest, Acronis VP of Cyber Protection Research. “Organizations must prioritize all-encompassing solutions when looking to mitigate phishing and other hacking attempts in the new year. Attackers are constantly evolving their methods, now using common security tools against us – like MFA that many companies rely on to protect their employees and businesses.”

Report Highlights: Threat Landscape Sees New Challenges

As security tactics and the technologies associated with them evolve, so do the threat actors trying to break into organizations and their ecosystems. The constant feed of ransomware, phishing and unpatched vulnerabilities demonstrate how crucial it is for businesses to reevaluate their security strategies.

Ransomware Continues to be the Number One Threat

• Ransomware threats to businesses including government, healthcare, education and other sectors is generally getting worse
• Each month in the second half of this year, ransomware gangs added 200-300 new victims to their combined list.
• The market of ransomware operators was dominated by 4-5 players. By the end of Q3, the total number of compromised targets published for the main operators in 2022 were as follows:
  • LockBit – 1157
  • Hive – 192
  • BlackCat – 177
  • Black Basta – 89
• There were 576 publicly-mentioned ransomware compromises in Q3, a slight increase from Q2.
• The overall number of ransomware incidents decreased slightly in Q3, following a summer high from July to August when Acronis observed a 49% increase in blocked ransomware attacks globally, but was then followed by a decrease of 12.9% in September and 4.1% in October.
• As the main threat actors are continuing to professionalize their operations, Acronis notes a shift towards more data exfiltration with most of the large players expanding their targets to MacOS and Linux systems, and consideration of cloud environments.

Phishing and Malicious Emails Remain Highly Successful for Threat Actors

• Between July and October 2022, the proportion of phishing attacks rose by 1.3x against malware attacks reaching 76% of all email attacks (up from 58% in H1’2022).
• Spam rates increased by over 15% — reaching 30.6% of all inbound traffic.
• The United States led as the country with the most clients experiencing malware detections at 22.1% in October 2022, followed by Germany with 8.8% and Brazil with 7.8%. These numbers represented a small increase for the US and Germany, especially in financial trojans.
• South Korea, Jordan and China ranked as the most attacked countries in terms of malware per user in Q3.
• Analyzing the 50 most email-borne-attacked organizations revealed the top targeted industries including:
  1. Construction
  2. Retail
  3. Real estate
  4. Professional Services (Computers & IT)
  5. Finance
• During this period, an average 7.7% of all endpoints tried to access malicious URLs in Q3 2022, a small reduction from 8.3% in Q2 2022.

Malicious Actors Continue to Seek Out and Target Unpatched Systems

• While software vendors release patches regularly or often, it is still not enough. Many attacks succeed due to unpatched vulnerabilities.
• Acronis continues to observe and warn both businesses and home users that new zero-day vulnerabilities and old unpatched ones are the top vector of attack to compromise systems.
• Microsoft:
  • A phishing campaign targeted Microsoft users in September by using the news coverage of the passing of Queen Elizabeth II and impersonating “the Microsoft team” to bait recipients into adding memo text onto an online memorial board in September.
  • Another large-scale phishing campaign was spotted targeting Microsoft M365 email service credentials, specifically at fin-tech, lending, accounting, insurance and Federal Credit Union organizations in the US, UK, New Zealand and Australia.

“Increased recognition that cybersecurity is a growing business risk is a welcome trend across all levels of enterprises,” said Michael Suby, VP Research, Trust and Security at IDC. “The latest Acronis Cyberthreat report explores real-world examples from the second half of this year and offers practical recommendations to protect the people, processes, and technologies that drive modern enterprises.”

TOKYO and BOULDER, Colo., Dec. 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SomaLogic, Inc., a leader in proteomic technology, announced today that Tokyo-based FonesLife Corporation, will be the first SomaLogic Certified Site in Japan. The new site will offer the 7,000-plex SomaScan^® Assay in their labs and provide SomaScan data to their customers. By becoming a SomaLogic Certified Site, FonesLife can now run assays on SomaLogic’s SomaScan Platform—the largest commercially available proteomic platform—and accelerate their own research and provide additional opportunities to utilize the industry-leading platform in the Asia-Pacific region.

“SomaScan data can now be produced in Japan, which gives us faster results and makes it possible to work with samples that are difficult to take out of the country,” said FonesLife Chief Executive Officer Naoto Egawa. “Our goal is to dramatically expand our business as a scientific service provider in the expanding Asian market.”

The SomaLogic Certified Site program gives labs and institutions—including academia and contract research organizations (CROs)—access to the SomaScan Assay, with more than 7,000 protein measurements per sample and up to 90 samples per assay kit. SOMAmer^® reagents have been optimized for specificity with specific binding to target epitopes with coefficients of variation (CVs) of approximately 5 percent, versus polyclonal antibodies that can result in non-specific binding, with CVs as high as 25 percent.

“The Certified Sites program allows us to expand the availability of our platform to labs and institutions around the world,” said Executive Vice President of SomaLogic’s Life Sciences business, Adam Taich. “Japan is a rapidly growing market for translational work in life sciences and clinical research and we are excited about this opportunity to deepen our long partnership with FonesLife.”

SomaLogic launched the Certified Site program in 2022 with labs at the National Institutes of Health, Washington University and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. New sites are expected to be added in 2023 in Asia Pacific, EMEA and North America.

SomaLogic’s proprietary SomaScan Platform was designed to be a universal platform that can be applied across research and discovery, translational research and biopharmaceutical development, and clinical applications. SomaLogic can run approximately 7,000 protein measurements on a single 55 microliter plasma or serum sample. The company has run more than 550,000 samples to date.

Industry giants back FourKites’ long-term vision of supply chain transformation
In addition to strategic investments in 2021 from industry heavyweights Qualcomm Ventures, LLC, Volvo Group Venture Capital AB and Zebra Technologies, over the past year, FourKites inked strategic partnerships with a number of industry titans to continue executing on its bold vision for the future of digital supply chains. These companies include FedEx, Quiet Platforms, Mitsui & Co., Ltd., Sony, Microsoft and Narvar. The real-time supply chain visibility pioneer was also recognized for its industry leadership and ongoing innovation by Gartner, SupplyChainBrain, Blue Yonder, Builtin Chicago, Manhattan Associates and Food Shippers of America.

FourKites is leveraging Mitsui’s $10M strategic investment to expand its offerings across the APAC region. The strategic relationship, which will initially focus on Japan, will deliver hyper-localized solutions for the APAC market, while boosting FourKites’ capabilities across sales, customer service and operations.

“We are excited to partner with FourKites to bring improved supply chain visibility and efficiency to operations in all industries and all countries throughout APAC,” said John Kenichi Kogiku, General Manager of Digital Solution Business Division at Mitsui. “FourKites and Mitsui share a culture of innovation, integrity and collaboration, and a broader vision for transforming global supply chains. We are looking forward to working with FourKites to achieve our mutual goals through digitization and automation.”

“Companies throughout APAC are making significant investments in supply chain transformation,” said FourKites founder and CEO Mathew Elenjickal. “In 2023, we look forward to helping our APAC customers take the next leap forward in their logistics operations, expanding their insight further into their network and at the SKU level. Together, we will build a more resilient and agile supply chain.”

Unique customer collaboration model continues to deliver industry-first innovations
Close collaboration with customers has been the bedrock of FourKites’ product development since the company’s inception. More than nine out of 10 FourKites customers are active contributors to the company’s IdeaExchange, and FourKites’ Innovation Partner program has generated more than 200 product enhancements from more than 70 companies, including Andersen Corporation, Canfor, Cardinal Health, Henkel, Kimberly-Clark, Smithfield and Sprouts Farmers Market, among others.

New solutions released in 2022 include:

• New detention & demurrage capabilities to help shippers more quickly and proactively identify potential detention and demurrage fees; prioritize exceptions according to likely business impact; and proactively adjust carriers, lanes or other factors as necessary.
  • “FourKites’ automated reporting and tracking for ocean provides more accurate and real-time data, which allows Canfor to respond to customer inquiries quicker with up-to-date information on our upcoming shipments that would have otherwise had to be manually tracked.” — Bob Hayes, Vice President of Global Supply Chain at Canfor
• Patented ocean shipment innovations that provide international shippers and their partners with complete visibility into all of the complex documentation requirements at every leg of every ocean shipment.
• A Net Zero initiative to help companies reduce supply chain emissions, including FourKites’ Sustainability Hub, a suite of analytics tools to provide better visibility into resource consumption and waste generation; a new Sustainability Advisory Board; and ongoing original research around sustainability.
  • “To track emissions and to evaluate how we’re performing — it all relies on data. And that’s a place where we’ve been thrilled with our partnership with FourKites, because without it, we would not have the critical data we need to operate well.” — Karen Betancourt, Vice President of Logistics at Cardinal Health
• A new unified customer interface that integrates real-time transportation visibility and facility-specific data across all modes.
  • “FourKites continues to excel and impress me with their ability to deliver tools that are useful and support our account in a way that is customer first. In working with them, they have been able to roll out coverage in multiple countries, manage the work, and enhance their tool along the way. I’m very impressed with their product and the agility in delivery.” — Logistics Strategy Analyst, Manufacturing
