AnyMind brings AI customer service to WhatsApp for global merchants
AnyMind Group, a BPaaS company for marketing, e-commerce and digital transformation, has expanded the reach of its AI customer service agent feature on its conversational commerce platform, AnyChat, by integrating it with WhatsApp. The feature, launched in March 2025, was previously available only on LINE.
WhatsApp's scale makes the move significant — Meta reported in April 2025 that the platform has over 3 billion monthly active users globally, with India, Indonesia, and the Philippines among its top five markets. Businesses and online merchants in these and other WhatsApp-heavy regions, including Malaysia and Singapore, can now use AnyChat to automatically handle initial customer inquiries. Powered by large language models (LLMs), the AI customer service agent can interpret free-text messages, reducing reliance on human-only support teams.
For companies fielding thousands of inquiries daily, this integration offers potential for transformative efficiency gains. In a three-month trial between March and June 2025, global water flosser brand Waterpik used the feature on LINE and was able to automate responses to 25 per cent of customer queries.

Unlike standard chatbots, AnyChat's AI agent processes questions in natural language and provides responses within brand-approved guardrails, cutting operational workload while avoiding 'hallucinated' answers. It can collect key customer details such as order IDs and names, enabling a smooth handover to human agents when needed. Historical chat data is stored to help brands identify recurring issues and improve templates, while product details can be updated in real time to ensure accurate responses.
'For most Indian consumers, WhatsApp is the first and often the only touchpoint with a brand,' said Aditya Aima, managing director, Growth Markets; co-MD, India and MENA, AnyMind Group. 'That's why this integration matters. It's not about adding another tool, but about helping businesses have faster, more meaningful conversations with their customers, without overloading their teams. It's a small shift with the potential for real, lasting impact.'
AnyChat connects enterprises to multiple chat and e-commerce platforms — including LINE, WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, Shopee, and Lazada — from a single dashboard. Initially launched as a standalone platform, it is now integrated into AnyMind's e-commerce management suite, AnyX, which provides unified tools for analytics, store management, CRM, and logistics.

India's Modi announces new defence system 'Sudarshan Chakra', tax cuts on Independence Day
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged the country on Friday to move towards more self-reliance, manufacture everything from fertilisers to jet engines and EV batteries, and vowed to protect farmers in the face of a trade conflict with Washington. With tariffs imposed on Indian exports by US President Donald Trump expected to hurt growth in the world's fastest growing major economy, Modi announced lower goods and services taxes (GST) from October, a move that could help boost consumption. He also announced India would set up a new defence system called 'Sudarshan Chakra'. He did not elaborate but a government statement said the system is aimed at neutralising enemy infiltrations and enhancing India's offensive capabilities. Indian defence and policy circles have informally referred to the Russian S-400 air defence system, which played a key role during the fighting with Pakistan, as Sudarshan Chakra, after a weapon referred to in Hindu texts. Modi was addressing the nation on the occasion of its Independence Day at a time New Delhi has been struggling with Trump's tariffs and the collapse of trade talks, largely due to differences over imports of American farm and dairy products. "Farmers, fishermen, cattle rearers are our top priorities," Modi said in his customary annual address from the ramparts of the Red Fort in New Delhi. "Modi will stand like a wall against any policy that threatens their interests. India will never compromise when it comes to protecting the interests of our farmers," he said. Modi did not mention the tariffs or the US in his speech that lasted nearly two hours. Last week, Trump imposed an additional 25 per cent tariff on Indian goods, citing New Delhi's continued imports of Russian oil in a move that sharply escalated tensions between the two nations. The new import tax will raise duties on some Indian exports to as high as 50 per cent, among the highest levied on any US trading partner. Modi has never spoken about the tariffs directly, only alluding to them in a speech last week, where he swore to protect the interests of farmers, even if it came at a personal price. Farmers are a key political constituency in India and they violently protested against Modi's last big push to reform the sector, forcing him to repeal three farm laws in 2021 in what was a rare defeat for him. Tax cuts to boost consumption Although local manufacturing and self-reliance have been Modi's key focus areas for years now, the push is seen to have gained urgency amid ongoing global trade tensions and supply chain disruptions. "The need of the hour is to take a resolve for building a strong India ... I want our traders, shopkeepers to display boards for 'Swadeshi' products," Modi said, using the Hindi word for made in India goods. He said made-in-India semiconductor chips would hit the market by the end of this year and that India was pushing for self-reliance in producing critical minerals with exploration underway at more than 1,200 locations. Trump's tariffs threaten to disrupt India's access to its largest export market, where shipments totalled nearly $87 billion in 2024, hitting sectors like textiles, footwear, shrimp, gems and jewellery. In retaliation, some supporters of Modi have sought to stoke anti-American sentiment and called for a boycott of US companies such as McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Amazon and Apple. Trade talks between New Delhi and Washington collapsed after five rounds of negotiations over disagreement on opening India's vast farm and dairy sectors and stopping Russian oil purchases. Modi's promise to cut GST by October's Diwali festival, which encompasses one of India's biggest shopping seasons, follows previous commitments to overhaul it by reducing the number of rate brackets under the 2017 tax regime. A group of ministers have been preparing a report that will consider merging tax slabs and lowering rates on some products. In February, India cut personal income tax for some individuals to boost spending. Earlier this month, the central bank kept interest rates steady, following a 100 basis point cut this year so far. The government has proposed to the ministers' panel that it recommend reducing taxes on mass use items as well as on goods used by women, students and farmers to boost consumption and enhance affordability, the finance ministry said in an X post. The government will move towards making GST a simple tax with two rate slabs, one standard and another merit, it said. Special rates will be applicable only for a few select items.

Kaspersky highlights biometric, signature risks with attempts up by 21.2% in UAE
Kaspersky has detected and blocked over 142 million phishing link clicks globally in Q2 2025, the UAE saw a 21.2% increase from Q1 in phishing attempts. Currently phishing is going through a shift driven by sophisticated AI-powered deception techniques and innovative evasion methods. Cybercriminals are exploiting deepfakes, voice cloning and trusted platforms like Telegram and Google Translate to steal sensitive data, including biometrics, electronic signatures and handwritten signatures, posing unprecedented risks to individuals and businesses. AI-powered tactics transforming phishing attacks AI has elevated phishing into a highly personalized threat. Large language models enable attackers to craft convincing emails, messages and websites that mimic legitimate sources, eliminating grammatical errors that once exposed scams. AI-driven bots on social media and messaging apps impersonate real users, engaging victims in prolonged conversations to build trust. These bots often fuel romantic or investment scams, luring victims into fake opportunities with AI-generated audio messages or deepfake videos. Attackers also create realistic audio and video deepfake impersonations of trusted figures — colleagues, celebrities or even bank officials — to promote fake giveaways or extract sensitive information. For instance, automated calls mimicking bank security teams use AI-generated voices to trick users into sharing two-factor authentication (2FA) codes, enabling account access or fraudulent transactions. Additionally, AI-powered tools analyze public data from social media or corporate websites to launch targeted attacks, such as HR-themed emails or fake calls referencing personal details. Employing new tactics to bypass detection Phishers are deploying sophisticated methods to gain trust, exploiting legitimate services to prolong their campaigns. For instance, Telegram's Telegraph platform, a tool to publish long texts, is used to host phishing content. Google Translate's page translation feature generates links that look like and are used by attackers to bypass security solutions' filters. Attackers now also integrate CAPTCHA, a common anti-bot mechanism, into phishing sites before directing users to the malicious page itself. By using CAPTCHA, these fraudulent pages deflect anti-phishing algorithms, as the presence of CAPTCHA is often associated with trusted platforms, lowering the likelihood of detection. A switch in hunting: from logins and passwords to biometrics and signatures The focus has shifted from passwords to immutable data. Attackers target biometric data through fraudulent sites that request smartphone camera access under pretexts like account verification, capturing facial or other biometric identifiers that cannot be changed. These are used for unauthorized access to sensitive accounts or sold on the dark web. Similarly, electronic and handwritten signatures, critical for legal and financial transactions, are stolen via phishing campaigns impersonating platforms like DocuSign or prompting users to upload signatures to fraudulent sites, posing significant reputational and financial risks to businesses. 'The convergence of AI and evasive tactics has turned phishing into a near-native mimic of legitimate communication, challenging even the most vigilant users. Attackers are no longer satisfied with stealing passwords — they're targeting biometric data, electronic and handwritten signatures, potentially creating devastating, long-term consequences. By exploiting trusted platforms like Telegram and Google Translate, and co-opting tools like CAPTCHA, attackers are outpacing traditional defenses. Users must stay increasingly skeptical and proactive to avoid falling victim,' said Olga Altukhova, security expert at Kaspersky. Earlier in 2025 Kaspersky detected a sophisticated targeted phishing campaign which was dubbed Operation ForumTroll, as attackers sent personalized phishing emails inviting recipients to the 'Primakov Readings' forum. These lures targeted media outlets, educational institutions and government organizations in Russia. After clicking on the link in the email, no additional action was needed to compromise their systems: the exploit leveraged a previously unknown vulnerability in the latest version of Google Chrome. The malicious links were extremely short-lived to evade detection and in most cases ultimately redirected to the legitimate website for 'Primakov Readings' once the exploit was taken down. To be protected from phishing, Kaspersky recommends: Verify unsolicited messages, calls, or links, even if they appear legitimate. Never share 2FA codes. Scrutinize videos for unnatural movements or overly generous offers, which may indicate deepfakes. Deny camera access requests from unverified sites and avoid uploading signatures to unknown platforms. Limit sharing sensitive details online, such as document photos or sensitive work information. Use Kaspersky Next (in corporate environments) or Kaspersky Premium (for individual use) to block phishing attempts.

Are VPNs allowed in the UAE? Here's what you need to know
If you have ever had concerns surrounding using VPNs in the UAE then you've come to the right place. There is a common misconception that VPNs (or Virtual Private Networks if you want to give them their proper name) are illegal in Dubai and the other Emirates but actually, this is not the case. While using a VPN is legal, using one improperly is not. With hefty fines of up to Dhs2 million for misuse, it's important to understand the circumstances where it is okay to use VPNs in the UAE. So, what are the right and wrong ways to use a VPN? We've cleared up the answers right here. What exactly is a VPN and why do you need one? A VPN creates a safe, encrypted online connection by converting a public network connection into a private one. In more straightforward terms, this allows users to secure their network from the threat of cybercrime, which is why many businesses in the UAE use VPNs. Businesses may also have their own internal VPN to make remote working a safe and secure possibility. What's the problem with VPNs in the UAE? Credit: Canva That all seems perfectly reasonable, right? You might be wondering at this point what all the fuss is about. The confusion surrounding legality comes as many VPN providers, if used improperly, could allow users to gain access to sites that are blocked in the UAE. A VPN can change where your network connection is based, which could theoretically lead to the person using it to circumvent the established online laws of the UAE, which is illegal. You cannot use a VPN to break established UAE law by accessing illegal sites, changing your IP (internet protocol) address or committing cybercrimes such as fraud. The Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) has clear guidelines on the prohibited content categories which cannot be accessed via a VPN. This includes – but is not limited to – infringing on intellectual property rights such as encrypted TV channels and using illegal communication services. An example of these are voice and video calls via apps such as WhatsApp. (Credit: Adobe Express) In 2021, the UAE introduced a decree law to combat false rumours (or fake news) and cybercrimes, which goes into depth on the banned digital activities. These crimes include invading the privacy of others, insulting and slandering others, and creating illegal content. In short, yes using a VPN is legal in the UAE but, to avoid repercussions, you must stay within the local law when using one. So make sure that you're brushed up on your local laws, behave responsibly online and avoid prohibited content to stay out of trouble. How much could I be fined for using a VPN improperly? Breaching the UAE's laws on VPN use can be very expensive, with fines of up to Dhs2 million possible. These fines do not just apply to residents in the UAE, but also tourists – so if you have family visiting please make sure they're also aware. Serious breaches which put lives in danger could face even more severe punishment, in addition to heavy fines with imprisonment a serious possibility.
