MasterCard is offering cardholders the chance to experience a  priceless journey in Beijing, China to mark the  second year of Priceless Beijing, a long-term destination marketing programme dedicated to bringing to life the unique and one-of-a-kind experiences in Beijing for MasterCard cardholders.

This year, through Priceless Beijing, MasterCard will introduce a new collection of exclusive offers and experiences available to MasterCard cardholders.

MasterCard and the Beijing Municipal Commission of Tourism Development (BMCTD) have jointly introduced Priceless Beijing deals and experiences to cater to transit tourists taking advantage of the 72-hour visa-free stay policy .

Starting immediately, MasterCard cardholders will be able to enjoy exclusive one-of-a-kind Priceless experiences.

MasterCard is joining hands with 108 merchants to provide over 120 Priceless offers across consumer interest areas such as dinning, shopping, entertainment, arts and culture, travel and sports.

This includes buy one get one free deals, meaning cardholders pay for one deal, and the other is paid for by MasterCard.

Priceless Beijing, part of the global Priceless Cities program, takes MasterCard’s long-running and iconic ‘Priceless’ brand from one that celebrates Priceless moments to one that enables actual Priceless experience.

Priceless Cities first launched in New York in July 2011, and in April last year, Beijing was selected as the first city in Asia/Pacific, the Middle East and Africa to roll out the MasterCard ‘Priceless Cities’ programme.

The Priceless Beijing campaign has been immensely popular since its inception.

“This year we have expanded our merchant hot-spot zones; from the west we have the Beijing iconic MasterCard Center right through Sanlitun and the new east CBD lido area. We are delighted to offer cardholders with new promotions such as the buy one get one free and stay two get the third night free deals, as well as offers that deliver Priceless moments and enhance their experiences in the city,” said Dennis Chang, head of China for MasterCard.

“Together with BMCTD, we are working towards developing unique premium travel products to meet the needs of the affluent market in China. The success of Priceless Beijing in 2012 has encouraged us to affirm our commitment and we expect to work more closely with BMCTD in the future. We sincerely hope that more leisure and business travelers visiting Beijing will be able to experience 72 Priceless hours with the offers created by MasterCard.”

Beijing is a city that is not only rich in history and culture, but also showcases the newest and most fashionable trends.

According to the latest MasterCard Global Destination Cities Index, Beijing is one of the most popular tourist destinations for would-be travelers.

As one of the fastest-growing cities in the region in terms of visitor arrivals, Beijing is becoming the heart-beat of a world that mixes rich historical tapestries and modern consumer living. MasterCard will work with the Beijing

Municipal Commission of Tourism Development to continue Beijing’s rise as one of the most breathtaking and world-class tourist destinations globally.

Cao Pengcheng, director of Beijing Municipal Commission of Tourism Development said, “Beijing has a profound cultural heritage. Thanks to the Priceless Beijing program and the Memorandum of Strategic Cooperation with MasterCard, citizens and visitors are able to experience this truly mesmerizing city in new ways, and form memories that will last a life time. We will continue to work with MasterCard to create novel and appealing experiences and celebrate the best Beijing has to offer.”

Cybervergent’s Q1 2024 Report Reveals Rising Threat of Remcos RAT Malware in Financial Sector

Published

Kindly share this post

Cybervergent, a foremost technology company providing automated cybersecurity solutions, in its Quarterly Brief has revealed a troubling trend in the financial sector that shows a spike in attacks utilising the deceptive Remote Control and Surveillance Access Trojan (Remcos RAT) in Q1, 2024.

The findings affirm a stark forewarning to the financial institutions and organisations in the African continent, urging heightened vigilance and proactive measures to mitigate potential escalating risks.

Previously marketed as a legitimate software, Remcos got co-opted by malicious actors and is now a prevalent tool in cybercrime campaigns. This remote access tool grants attackers hidden entry into victims’ devices, allowing them to seize control, pilfer sensitive data, and even introduce stealth backdoors to compromise entire systems. The capabilities of Remcos are diverse and frightening, ranging from disabling vital security features like User Account Control (UAC) to covertly recording user activities.

“As vigilant cybersecurity gatekeepers, we have observed a significant surge in attacks leveraging the Remcos RAT malware,” said Gbolabo Awelewa, the Chief Solutions Officer, Cybervergent. “Financial institutions are particularly targeted due to the sensitive nature of their data and assets. Organisations must remain diligent and adopt proactive monitoring measures to safeguard against such threats.”

The proactive approach adopted by Cybervergent’s Cyber Operations Centre involves meticulous analysis of attacker tactics, constant updating of threat intelligence, and implementing robust endpoint security solutions. These measures are designed to detect, prevent, and neutralise Remote Access Trojans like Remcos, ensuring the continued security and compliance of organisations in the face of evolving cyber threats.

“Our mission is to fortify our clients’ defenses and ensure the seamless operation of their organisations,” added Gbolabo. “By staying ahead of emerging attack vectors and vulnerabilities, we empower businesses to take proactive measures and protect their valuable assets.”

Looking ahead, Adetokunbo Omotosho, Chief Executive Officer of Cybervergent emphasised the firm’s focus on empowering organisations to navigate the complexities of cybersecurity and compliance with dexterity and confidence.

“Cybervergent’s Assurance and Compliance Team has demonstrated unparalleled leadership in the cybersecurity domain, achieving significant milestones and delivering transformative solutions. Our journey through Q1 reflects a deep commitment to advancing the state of cybersecurity compliance, paving the way for a secure and resilient digital future for organisations in Africa and across the world”, he added.
