Dubai in 2008 was a different place to do business. The city was mid-boom, construction cranes were everywhere, and the interior design industry was running to keep pace with a market that wanted everything built fast. Standards existed, but they were applied loosely. Clients were moving quickly. So was everyone else. Then the correction came. The market contracted hard, and a lot of firms that had been […]
Android users across parts of Europe face a sharper mobile-fraud threat after a redesigned TrickMo variant began targeting banking, fintech, cryptocurrency wallet and authenticator applications with stronger stealth, persistence and network-control features.
