Thousands of eager shoppers stormed the website and offline stores of e-commerce giant, Konga as the company flagged off its 8th anniversary sales on Monday, June 22, 2020.

 

The Konga 8th anniversary sales tagged K8onga Beyond the Hype runs until Tuesday, July 7, 2020.

The e-commerce giant had announced that it would be rolling out the drums to celebrate its customers, even as it revealed that it had put together a number of mouth-watering offers as part of efforts to celebrate its eight years of outstanding innovations and leadership in the Nigerian e-Commerce sector.

Subsequently, Nigerians had thronged the Konga website throughout Monday to be the first to get their hands on the amazing deals and freebies on offer.

Also serving as a source of excitement for many was the opportunity of winning the sum of N100,000 which Konga had equally highlighted as one of its incentives to customers daily throughout the period of the promotion.

Feelers emanating from Konga indicate that traffic started building up on the website from 12am as early-bird shoppers sought to gain first mover advantage over others.

Furthermore, the traffic rose during the day, with a huge number of excited bargain hunters trooping to the e-Commerce site to enjoy unmatched deals and rock-bottom prices across multiple product categories including mobile phones, computing and devices, electronics, FMCG products, kitchen appliances, fashion, wine and spirits, and much more.

Meanwhile, investigations also reveal that many other shoppers chose to storm Konga’s physical stores, defying the downpour witnessed in parts of the country on Monday.

Feedback from Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Imo, Delta, Kano, Ibadan, Akwa Ibom and many other parts of the country showed that Konga’s physical stores witnessed some significant walk-in traffic, a factor attributed to the store-only deals which formed a major feature of the anniversary sales.

‘‘During my lunch break, I decided to visit the Konga store in Ikeja along with a couple of my colleagues,’’ disclosed Funke Olojede, a copywriter at a marketing communications firm in Lagos.

‘‘It turned out to be a great idea as we were able to grab some heavily discounted products which were only available in-store.

“Throughout the remaining days of the promotion, I will be on the hunt, online and in the stores, for other sweet deals,’’ she revealed.

Also sharing his experience of the first day of the Konga 8th anniversary sales, DanladiInuwa, an entrepreneur, stated that he had been left delighted after visiting a Konga store located at the popular Banex Plaza in Abuja.

‘‘I have always been a regular visitor to that particular store so the staff there had already notified me of the commencement of the discount sales today.

“However, they did not tell me that there would be some specific deals for walk-in customers only. Thank God I went prepared as there were equally other shoppers in the store who were there. But I was able to get some rock-bottom prices on some much-needed items. I say a big thank you and congratulations to Konga.’’

Throughout the anniversary period, beginning from Monday, June 29 to the end of the promo period on July 7, Konga will equally host a daily flash sale at 10am, 2pm, 4pm and 6pm from which lucky customers will win exciting products at highly discounted prices.

This is in addition to the offer of free deliveries for orders which will coincide with the days for the flash sales.

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.
