WhatsApp takes down 6.8 million accounts linked to criminal scam centers, Meta says
In a Tuesday (Aug 5) announcement, Meta said it was also rolling new tools on WhatsApp to help people spot scams. — AP Photo/Patrick Sison, File NEW YORK: WhatsApp has taken down 6.8 million accounts that were "linked to criminal scam centres' targeting people online around that world, its parent company Meta said this week. The account deletions, which Meta said took place over the first six months of the year, arrive as part of wider company efforts to crack down on scams. In a Tuesday (Aug 5) announcement, Meta said it was also rolling new tools on WhatsApp to help people spot scams – including a new safety overview that the platform will show when someone who is not in a user's contacts adds them to a group, as well as ongoing test alerts to pause before responding. Scams are becoming all too common and increasingly sophisticated in today's digital world – with too-good-to-be-true offers and unsolicited messages attempting to steal consumers' information or money filling our phones, social media and other corners of the internet each day. Meta noted that "some of the most prolific' sources of scams are criminal scam centres, which often span from forced labour operated by organised crime – and warned that such efforts often target people on many platforms at once, in attempts to evade detection. That means that a scam campaign may start with messages over text or a dating app, for example, and then move to social media and payment platforms, the California-based company said. Meta, which also owns Facebook and Instagram, pointed to recent scam efforts that it said attempted to use its own apps – as well as TikTok, Telegram and AI-generated messages made using ChatGPT – to offer payments for fake likes, enlist people into a pyramid scheme and/or lure others into cryptocurrency investments. Meta linked these scams to a criminal scam centre in Cambodia – and said it disrupted the campaign in partnership with ChatGPT maker OpenAI. – AP .

Semiconductor industry unlikely to be severely affected by revised tariffs, says Anwar
PUTRAJAYA: The country's semiconductor industry is unlikely to be severely affected by the revised tariffs announced by the United States, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. The Prime Minister said that Malaysia was grateful to secure a 19% tariff rate in recent negotiations, a relatively favourable outcome compared to other neighbouring countries, adding that it could possibly be due to the country's success in helping resolve the Thailand-Cambodia conflict. "Tariff concerns, particularly in the semiconductor industry, have caused significant unease recently. "Previously, these were mostly exempted. "However, most of these companies are US-based or already have commitments to continue their investments and production in the US, so they won't be severely affected," he said in his speech during the 2026 Budget Consultation Council at the Finance Ministry here on Thursday (Aug 7). Anwar said, however, there are some exceptions such as Infineon, a German semiconductor manufacturer, that mainly caters to the needs of Germany and Europe, as well as others. "So, we're monitoring the situation," said Anwar. Earlier, US President Donald Trump announced sweeping new tariffs on countries worldwide, which have now come into effect, escalating his trade war. Trump plans to impose 100% tariffs on semiconductors imported from countries that do not produce, or do not plan to produce, chips within the US and only companies that have invested in or are building chip-manufacturing facilities in the US would reportedly be exempt.

Palm falls on concerns over rising output, stocks
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian palm oil futures fell on Thursday, extending losses from the previous session, amid concerns over rising inventories and production, while weak export demand further pressured the market. The benchmark palm oil contract for October delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange shed RM29, or 0.68 per cent, to RM4,238 (US$1,003.08) a metric ton at the midday break. Crude palm oil futures traded lower on ongoing concerns over rising output and stocks in the coming weeks, said David Ng, a proprietary trader at Kuala Lumpur-based trading firm Iceberg X Sdn Bhd. "The recent weak export demand is also seen as weighing down on market sentiment." Cargo surveyors estimated July palm oil exports to have fallen between 6.7 per cent and 9.6 per cent. The Malaysian Palm Oil Board is scheduled to release its supply and demand data on Aug 11. Dalian's most-active soyoil contract rose 0.36 per cent, while its palm oil contract shed 0.42 per cent. Soyoil prices on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) gained 0.11 per cent. Palm oil tracks the price movements of rival edible oils as it competes for a share of the global vegetable oils market. Oil prices rose 1 per cent, pausing a five-day losing run, on signs of steady demand in the US, the world's biggest oil user, though uncertainty about the macroeconomic impacts of US tariffs limited gains. Stronger crude oil futures make palm a more attractive option for biodiesel feedstock. Indonesian goods exported to the US will attract a 19 per cent tariff from Aug 7, although the country is still negotiating exemptions for some of its key exports, such as crude palm oil. The ringgit, palm's currency of trade, strengthened 0.05 per cent against the dollar, making the commodity slightly more expensive for buyers holding foreign currencies.
