Facebook Sues Chinese Ad Company Over Alleged Hacking Campaign

2020-12-30T09:39:44Z

WBZTamie81388:

id="article-body" class="row" section="article-body"> Hackers spent at least $4 million from compromised ads accounts on Facebook, according to the company. Angela Lang/CNET Facebook [ filed a lawsuit Wednesday against two Chinese citizens], accusing them of operating a hacking campaign targeting ad accounts on the social network. Hackers have increasingly been going after [http://www.savethestudent.org/?s=Facebook%20ad Facebook ad] accounts, using their victims' credit cards to promote posts for fraudulent products, or [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-quang-chau-tham-quyen-bang-tuong-5-ngay.html tour quảng châu] in some cases spreading malware. In November, [ ] in which hackers tried to spend $10,000 per day using one victim's ads account. In Facebook's lawsuit, the tech giant alleges that Chen Xiao Cong, a Chinese software developer, and Huang Tao, a marketing director for the company GuangZhou HongYi Technology, were behind a similar hacking campaign starting in 2016. The lawsuit is also filed against the company ILikeAds, a Hong Kong based advertising business that promoted itself as a "one-stop comprehensive solution to advertisers." The two alleged hackers would take over their victims' accounts and use the victims' money to buy ads for fraudulent products like diet pills, male enhancement supplements and counterfeit goods, according to the lawsuit. Facebook said it's paid more than $4 million in reimbursements to victims of these hacks. The defendants couldn't be reached for comment. According to the lawsuit, Cong developed malware meant for browser extensions, which was then shared on forums and websites. Court documents allegedly show Cong posting on forums and offering to pay people to include the malware in extensions, writing, "We need a lot of US installations." Malicious extensions would steal Facebook login information and were designed to disable a victims' account security notifications, according to the lawsuit. The malware also probed victims' accounts to see if they'd run ads in the past, how much they'd paid and what any balance on an accounts was. If the hacked Facebook account had run ads, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-quang-chau-tham-quyen-bang-tuong-5-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] it would likely have a credit card saved on it. The alleged hackers used their victims' money to pay for deceptive ads. A Facebook spokesperson said this hacking campaign is different from the one CNET reported on in November, where the ads led to pages with malware designed to steal credit card information. Facebook said it's notified hundreds of thousands of people since April that their accounts were compromised. Facebook is also accusing the two Chinese citizens of "[ cloaking]," a technique shady advertisers use to disguise links on the social network to avoid triggering its ad reviews process. The alleged hackers had spent at least $4 million from Facebook ads accounts between 2016 and 2019, according to the company. "To protect Facebook users and disrupt these types of schemes, we will continue our work to detect malicious behavior directed towards our platform and enforce against violations of our Terms and Policies," Facebook's Jessica Romero, director of platform enforcement and litigation, and Rob Leathern, director of product management, said in a statement.

Lawyer Katherine Tai A Congress Favorite For Biden Trade Czar

2020-12-30T03:28:27Z

WBZTamie81388:

By [http://edition.cnn.com/search/?text=David%20Lawder David Lawder] and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-quang-chau-tham-quyen-bang-tuong-5-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] Andrea Shalal WASHINGTON, Nov 25 (Reuters) - As President-elect Joe Biden builds his economic team in the coming days, some influential lawmakers are urging him to choose Katherine Tai, the Democratic trade counsel on the House of Representatives' Ways and Means Committee, as U.S. trade representative. The job, sometimes called the "trade czar," is expected to be a lynchpin position as Biden pledges to reverse predecessor Donald Trump's "America First" policies, build jobs at home, and punish Beijing for anti-competitive trade practices. Tai played a key role in negotiating stronger labor provisions with the Trump administration in the new U.S.-Mexico-Canada (USMCA) trade deal, and has solid backing in labor and business circles, people familiar with the Biden team's deliberations say. A Yale and Harvard-educated Chinese-American who speaks fluent Mandarin and [https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&gl=us&tbm=nws&q=taught%20university&btnI=lucky taught university] English for two years in Guangzhou, Tai also headed China trade enforcement at the U.S. Trade Representative's office (USTR) from 2011 to 2014, litigating trade violation cases before the World Trade Organization. "Katherine Tai is the most qualified candidate for USTR, and I'm proud to support her," Senator Sherrod Brown, a Democrat on the trade- and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-quang-chau-tham-quyen-bang-tuong-5-ngay.html tour quảng châu] tax-focused Senate Finance Committee, told Reuters in an emailed response to questions. "She played a critical role in securing real improvements for workers in the USMCA agreement last year. She is uniquely prepared to tackle issues on China and knows how to partner with our allies to advance U.S. interests," Brown added. On Wednesday, 10 House Democrats urged Biden to choose Tai, calling her "uniquely able to negotiate and advance priorities with both friendly and hostile negotiating partners" in a letter. The top USTR job in the past has sometimes gone to those owed political favors or to prominent elected officials, with committee staff more likely to get a deputy-level position and assume a lot of the behind-the-scenes workload. A groundswell of Capitol Hill support may help shift that practice under Biden, who has promised diversity as well as deep experience in his early Cabinet picks. Tai, 45, did not respond to a request for comment and a spokeswoman for the House Ways and Means Committee said she was not granting interviews at this time. A spokesman for the Biden transition team also declined to comment. Representative Earl Blumenauer, who chairs the House Ways and Means trade subcommittee, told Reuters Tai was "knowledgeable, patient, and creative," adding: "I would hate to lose her from our committee staff, but she would more than make up for it with what she could bring to the USTR." PLAY 'OFFENSE' VS. CHINA This August, Tai outlined a different approach to China than the 2-1/2-year punitive tariff war waged by current trade czar Robert Lighthizer at a Center for American Progress forum website The Trump administration has been "very strong on confronting China" she said, but such tariff actions were largely "defensive," and the United States needs a better offense. "I think the offense has got to be about what we are going to do to make ourselves and our workers and our industries and our allies faster, nimbler, able to jump higher and able to compete stronger," Tai said. Tai faces stiff competition for the USTR post from Michael Wessel, a member of the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, and Representative Jimmy Gomez, a Ways and Means Committee Democrat from California. Representative Don Beyer, another Ways and Means Democrat who also favors Tai for USTR, said he believes House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was unlikely to agree to release any currently serving lawmakers to join the administration because this could jeopardize the razor-thin majority that Democrats hold in the House.

The Spanish World Cup winner put the seal on the win six minutes from time after Kyogo Furuhashi and Douglas had both found the net for last year's Emperor's Cup winners. With only three teams in the group following the withdrawal of Malaysian side Johor Darul Ta´zim, Kobe´s win was enough to ensure a top two finish in Group G and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-quang-chau-tham-quyen-bang-tuong-5-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] take the Atsuhiro Miura-coached side into the last 16 in their debut appearance. "I think they played a much better game than us in all aspects, so unfortunately we didn´t win this game," said Guangzhou´s Anderson Talisca. Furuhashi had given Kobe the lead on the stroke of halftime when he slotted his effort home following Iniesta´s cut back from the bye-line. However, the Japanese winger put the ball in his own net 10 minutes after the restart when he was unable to stop Tatsushi Yamakawa´s header from crossing the goal line, restoring parity for Guangzhou. Substitute Douglas put Kobe back in front when he raced in behind the Guangzhou defence before thumping the ball past Liu Dianzuo and Iniesta sealed the win when he bent his shot into the top corner after seeing his initial effort blocked.

Chinese Fast-fashion Brand Sells 30 000 Cheap Items To Girls Every Day

2020-12-29T17:37:59Z

WBZTamie81388:

Few people over the age of 30 will have heard of the clothes label Shein. Yet from its base 6,000 miles away on the Pearl River delta, this Chinese brand [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-quang-chau-tham-quyen-bang-tuong-5-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] could soon be the biggest retailer of fast fashion in Britain, if it isn't already. The giant firm is taking on home-grown competitors such as Boohoo, Pretty Little Thing and Missguided, and is expanding rapidly. Backed by ruthlessly efficient marketing through 'influencers' and social-media sites, Shein is filling teenage wardrobes with dirt-cheap tops and skirts. It sells an estimated 30,000 items to Britain every day - that's more than ten million a year - and spends more on advertising in this country than any other clothing label, bewitching a generation of young, almost entirely female shoppers. Shein collaborates with celebrities such as ITV's I'm A Celebrity… winner Georgia Toffolo (pictured) It is surprising, therefore, how little is known about the company or how it produces garments so cheaply that even the notorious sweatshops of Leicester can't compete. With a tiny British office and fewer than a dozen staff here, Shein has remained shrouded in mystery, but an investigation by The Mail on Sunday has uncovered claims including: Piracy on a vast scale as it adds more than 1,000 new items every day to its vast online catalogue, often copying popular designs;Bosses profiting from absurdly cheap postage rates subsided by the Royal Mail;Widespread complaints about flimsy, shoddily produced clothes;Huge environmental damage from discarded clothes worn only once or twice..Never has fashion been faster, or cheaper. Yet the questions are mounting as steadily as Shein's multi-million-pound profits. BRITISH TEENAGERS ARE RUTHLESSLY TARGETED Shein sells fashion at pocket-money prices: tops for £3.49 and dresses for £4.99. In a Black Friday sale, some tops were less than £2 each. Its target market is the lucrative teen and young adult demographic, and social media is the key to reaching them, which is why Facebook and YouTube users are bombarded with adverts for the brand. Shein collaborates with celebrities such as ITV's I'm A Celebrity… winner Georgia Toffolo, who signed up to pose wearing two of the brand's collections in the past nine months, while a virtual catwalk show in September featured Rita Ora and Ellie Goulding as models. Then there is an army of influencers on Instagram and Chinese-owned video-sharing app TikTok. Shein persuades young women to post clips of themselves with branded boxes crammed with purchases - so-called 'Shein hauls'. The hashtag #sheinhaul has nearly a billion views on the app, while #shein has a further 3.1 billion. House of Sunny, an independent womenswear label in East London, said its £90 Daybreak cardigan (right) was copied by Shein and sold for £25 (left) If someone's post is 'liked' by Shein, which has 15 million Instagram followers, they can easily amass half a million views and thousands of new followers. The firm's affiliate programme offers financial rewards to social-media users who show off recent buys and direct their followers to the brand's website. Such affiliates receive up to 20 per cent commission on every purchase they help to sell - a welcome addition to any teenager's pocket money. HUGE PROFITS FROM ITS CHINESE FACTORIES China may have inflicted Covid-19 on the world, but now it is benefiting economically through firms such as Shein as Britons stranded at home have turned to the internet to shop. Shein, which is privately owned, won't release its financial figures, although Chinese media have estimated that it will make more than £11 billion of sales this year from its factories based round the industrial powerhouse of Guangzhou. By comparison, the UK's Boohoo Group has annual sales of about £2 billion. Industry analysts say the Shein app is significantly more popular than those run by rivals, with 12 million worldwide downloads in the past month alone. And [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-quang-chau-tham-quyen-bang-tuong-5-ngay.html tour quảng châu] according to one leading British distribution company, Shein posts about 30,000 orders a day to the UK. Fashion analyst Juozas Kaziukenas, from Marketplace Pulse, said: 'Shein seem to be killing it. It's a pretty fascinating company. There's a huge untapped demand for affordable fashion. We've had H&M, Zara and Asos. Shein has taken it one step further. 'It's also fascinating that it all comes from China, which allows it to have lower costs. 'Everyone knows that Primark gets everything from China but they are middlemen. Shein goes direct to the customer. It's hard for other retailers to compete on price when you're selling from China. 'The Government needs to close shipping and tax loopholes which lets this be so successful. THE MULTI-BILLION POUND MYSTERY Despite huge sales, little is known about Shein. Mainly based in China, Singapore and Hong Kong, the company was founded in China by Chris Xu, also known as Yangtian Xu or Sky Xu, an American-born graduate of Washington University in the US. The company's headquarters are in Shenzhen, the city linking Hong Kong to the Chinese mainland. Xu created the brand, then known as SheInside, in 2008. Since then, he is reported to have raised £39 million from a variety of backers. 'Shein is almost an unknown to anyone outside the fashion industry,' said Kaziukenas. 'I don't know who the chief executive is; I don't know how much money they've made. 'They are very secretive as a company. They don't comment on anything or put out any press releases.' When contacted by The Mail on Sunday, Shein refused to disclose sales figures, profits, manufacturing or distribution techniques. Its only physical presence in Britain is a rented second-floor office behind black gates in Islington, North London. Security was tight when we visited - a buzzer at the front gate, another to access the site and a third to enter the lift. Ten or so people - some Chinese and some British - are thought to work there in a combined office and photo studio. Many of those who claim to be victims of piracy are small, independent labels without the resources to challenge an international giant. Typical is cult French label Maison Cleo, run by mother and daughter Cleo and Marie Dewet, which specialises in hand-crafted, limited-edition blouses (pictured) Maison Cleo claim that one of their distinctive £200 garments with an oversized pleated collar was copied and sold by Shein for just £11.49 (pictured) POPULAR DESIGNS ARE 'RIPPED OFF' WITHIN DAYS Shein boasts of 'thousands of new styles' daily on its website, but it has been accused of copying other designers in its rush to release new products. Instagram is full of allegations of piracy, and one source with a good knowledge of Shein confirmed that the firm itself has been inundated with complaints. With the aid of computer technology and low labour costs, Shein aims to get new designs ready for shipping in just three days, the news agency Reuters recently reported. In comparison, Zara takes about three weeks for a design to go from the drawing board to the shop floor. With such tight turnaround, Shein can target the styles, colours and fabrics of its clothing to match the most popular ranges in the UK at any given time. Many of those who claim to be victims of piracy are small, independent labels without the resources to challenge an international giant.

Pictured is a Shein haul on TikTok House of Sunny, an independent womenswear label in East London, said its £90 Daybreak cardigan was copied by Shein and sold for £25. Camilla Ley, the brand's managing director, said: 'Shein have copied our designs in the past. There's nothing we can do about it, which is heartbreaking for a small indie company like ours.' For its part, Shein claims to have 'established a huge team of professional designers' with a designer recruitment programme seeking new talent. Mr Xu has said: 'These designers are young, creative and energetic. I like to work with them, and hopefully they can become our partners.' But there is widespread doubt as to whether this is the only - or even the main - way the label operates. The head designer of a London-based brand, who did not want to be named, claimed it was common for fast-fashion brands to use sophisticated software - for which Shenzhen is famous - to use pictures of other firm's outfits to quickly create copies. PAYING 'PENNIES' TO POST ITEMS TO YOUR DOOR Shein takes advantage of heavily reduced postal charges, subsidised by the Royal Mail. The company ships orders in small consignments through the ordinary postal system, benefiting from low international rates that allow packages to be sent thousands of miles for very small fees. The system was originally set up to by the United Nations Universal Postal Union to help developing countries, not the second-largest economy in the world. This loophole is set to be closed soon, as is the concession that no VAT is charged on imported consignments under £15. Interestingly, customers often find that their clothes take a long time to be delivered, and that different items on the same order arrive separately. There is no suggestion Shein has behaved improperly, but Richard Allen, of Retailers Against VAT Abuse Schemes, says: 'Chinese retailers are paying pennies to send these things. We are subsidising Chinese retailers to undercut UK businesses.' SHEIN KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE THINKING Chinese media have reported how Shein uses software to analyse internet searches to establish which colours, fabrics and styles customers are looking for and adapts its ranges to target specific trends in individual countries. For example, red jeans might be popular in Germany, while shoppers in the UK might be looking for a jumper worn by the Duchess of Cambridge. [http://pixabay.com/en/new-zealand-waterfall-nature-Shein%20refuses/ Shein refuses] to discuss the technology it uses. DUMPED IN LANDFILL AND POLLUTING THE OCEANS Critics condemn Shein for contributing to fast-fashion pollution problems, in which 350,000 tons of clothing are dumped in landfill every year. Some claim that fashion is the world's second-biggest polluting industry after fossil fuels. Many Shein items are made of polyester, a synthetic fabric usually derived from petroleum. When washed, they produce microfibres, which contribute to the huge volumes of plastic pollution in the seas. Most of Shein's factories are in Panyu, an industrial hub in Guangzhou. The firm claims to provide 'industry-leading working conditions' with 'a safe, clean, happy and protective environment'. But Lauren Bravo, author of How To Break Up With Fast Fashion, says: 'The brand pays lip service to ethics and social responsibility, but as far as I can see there's no solid information to back up any of those claims. Nobody can sell a new dress for less than a tenner without someone, somewhere paying the price.' MANY HUNDREDS OF UNHAPPY CUSTOMERS Nearly half of the more than 2,400 comments left for Shein on consumer review website Trustpilot give just one star ('bad') out of five. Many customers complain that items fell apart after a single wear, were not true to the advertised size or didn't look like the website photos. Others warned of bad customer service or long waits for clothing to arrive. Annie Howard, of Manchester, ordered bikinis from the site and said: 'They were really bad quality, only lasting for one holiday.' And Rebecca Gilpin, an artist from London, said: 'I ordered a cardigan and a two-piece seven months ago and they have only just arrived. The quality is awful. The fabric was stuck together as hard as Velcro. I will never buy from them again.'
