Scammers use the wave of Labubu dolls on fraud sites in Portuguese

Kaspersky has detected a proliferation of fraudulent platforms posing as legitimate resellers of Labubu dolls on illegitimate websites.Criminals lure fans with fake offers to collect sensitive financial information from buyers on scam websites in portuguese, spanish, hungarian and french, which mimic the visual identity of trusted dealers.

The Labubu dolls, created by Kasing Lung, have captivated a global audience.The excitement of the “ surprise” and the chance to find rare editions, valued at up to US$ 3 mil, have created a fertile ground for scammers to exploit high demand.

Kaspersky has identified scam websites in Portuguese, Spanish, Hungarian and French that mimic the visual identity of trusted dealers such as Pop Mart (the official dealer and creator of Labubu dolls). These scam websites often offer tempting discounts or “exclusive of the dolls to trick victims into entering bank card data or other personal information.
 

Website sells “original products imported from Japan” by R$ 47.90

For example, a Portuguese website claims to be an official “store Labubu” and sells “original products imported from Japan” on special offer by R$ 47.90. Another Spanish-language site claims to sell “original Labubu” and describes the story behind the creation of the dolls, offering several dolls for “ special prices” US$ 30 to US$ 79.99.

I always like to reiterate the expression: `when the alms is too much, the saint distrusts. We see offers with urgent discounts all the time, which take advantage of the anxiety of buyers to, in this case, get rare dolls. These fraudulent platforms now appear in several languages, which extends their reach”, he comments Fabio Assolini, Director of the Global Research and Analysis Team at Kaspersky for Latin America.“Fans are recommended to buy Labubu dolls only from confirmed dealers, such as the official Pop Mart channels, after checking the authenticity of the website URL, and avoid interacting with sites that look suspicious

To protect against these scams, Kaspersky recommends:

  • Buy only from official dealers: Only buy from authorized and verified dealers.
  • Check the URL of the site: Before making any purchase, make sure that the URL of the website is legitimate and does not contain typos or unusual characters.
  • Be wary of offers too good to be true: Excessive discounts or “exclusive” on unknown websites are a strong indication of fraud.
  • Use security solutions: Keep robust security software on your devices to detect and block phishing and malware websites.
  • Never share personal or financial information on suspicious websites: Be cautious when entering credit card data or other sensitive information.

Demand for business continuity management grows with cyber crisis and new regulatory pressure

In recent months, Brazilian companies have intensified their search for specialized services in business continuity management (BCM). This significant increase is a direct reflection of the exponential growth of cyber attacks in the country, especially ransomware, and the increasingly stringent oversight promoted by the National Data Protection Authority (ANPD).

In 2024 alone, Brazil recorded over 700 million cyberattacks, indicating approximately 1,400 incidents per minute. This alarming scenario pressures organizations to seek more robust strategies to ensure operational continuity in the face of increasingly frequent threats and crises.

The rise in ransomware attacks, in particular, has brought to light one of the greatest risks currently facing companies. In this criminal modality, corporate systems are invaded and their data encrypted, leading to total or partial disruption of operations until a ransom is paid. In addition to direct financial damage, there are significant indirect and intangible losses, such as the deterioration of trust from customers and business partners. It is estimated that incidents of this type have caused billions of dollars in losses to the Brazilian market just in the last year, prompting business decision-makers to reassess their stances on operational risk.

In parallel, the ANPD has intensified its oversight actions throughout 2024 and early 2025, primarily related to compliance with the General Data Protection Law (LGPD). Companies have been facing severe penalties for not having adequate security and operational continuity mechanisms, especially in light of identified vulnerabilities that expose personal data. This rigorous stance, previously more flexible, now demands from Brazilian organizations a structured and coherent approach to incident and crisis management, elevating the strategic importance of GCN.

GCN as a preventive tool

In this context, the importance of business continuity management grows, not just as a reactive measure, but primarily as an essential preventive tool. A well-implemented BCM allows companies to recover quickly from incidents, minimizing financial damage and preserving their reputation in the market. It is an integrated corporate practice that identifies, evaluates, and prepares organizations to respond effectively to any critical interruption in operations, ensuring the shortest possible downtime.

Implementing an effective GCN strategy begins with an in-depth risk analysis, in which the organization's critical processes are clearly identified and the potential impact in case of interruption is assessed. This first step determines which operations need to be prioritized in a crisis situation. Subsequently, the continuity plan is developed, detailing clear and specific procedures to be adopted during disruptive events, enabling rapid and coordinated responses.

The next step, and perhaps one of the most underestimated by companies, is frequent training and practical simulations. Many continuity plans fail not due to technical flaws, but because teams are not familiar with the procedures outlined. Therefore, it is essential that everyone involved is continually prepared to act as planned, ensuring that protocols are executed smoothly and effectively when truly needed.

Another aspect that reinforces the relevance of GCN is the specific regulations that are increasingly being demanded by the market and regulatory bodies, such as ISO 22301, an international standard that establishes detailed requirements for business continuity management systems. Companies aligned with these standards can not only mitigate internal risks but also gain greater confidence from business partners, investors, and customers, thereby strengthening their position in the market.

Specialized consulting firms play a central role in the successful implementation of GCN, bringing technical expertise and strategic insight to the planning and execution of these initiatives. These companies support organizations from the initial risk assessment to the development of customized plans and specific training, ensuring that the adopted solutions are aligned with international best practices and local regulatory requirements.

The conclusion is clear: the increasing demand for business continuity management services is an unequivocal indicator that Brazilian companies are maturing in terms of their perception of operational and cyber risks. This scenario demands a strategic, integrated, and continuous response from organizations, which need to be prepared not only to respond quickly to incidents but to ensure the long-term sustainability of operations. Investing in a solid business continuity strategy is about protecting the present and securing the future of organizations in the face of the inevitable uncertainties and threats that the contemporary corporate environment presents.

The importance of customer service for the legal of companies

In an increasingly competitive market, customer experience is no longer a differential to become an essential business strategy. The Retail Report 2022, produced by Adyen and KPMG, points out that 81% of Brazilian consumers do not buy from a brand after a negative experience, highlighting the direct impact of customer service on loyalty. More than retaining customers, quality support also acts as a line of preventive defense, reducing the volume of lawsuits and protecting both reputation and company resources. The integration between the areas of service and legal, added to the intelligent use of technology, allows to transform potential conflicts into organizational improvement and improvement level. 

The decision between maintaining an internal consumer service or opting for outsourcing goes far beyond a simple binary choice. This decision must take into account the overall strategy of the company, the complexity of the products offered and, above all, the priority given to the customer experience.In an interview, Vinicius Sala, executive and lawyer with extensive experience in compliance, shared that his experience with internal service teams was highly positive.He highlighted that the close integration between the service and legal sectors not only facilitated the identification of conflict patterns, but also accelerated the resolution of problems and strengthened legal defenses Although, on certain occasions, the outsourcing has been considered, the final decision to maintain the quality of support was the value.

Nubank is an emblematic example of how a well-structured service can mitigate legal risks and strengthen the brand reputation. Since 2014, the company adopts a user-centered approach, with personalized initiatives such as the famous “WOWs” actions that positively surprise the consumer. A striking case was the sending of “cards to customers who reported damages caused by their pets, a creative solution that generated high engagement and reduced the number of formal complaints. According to a study by Forrester, about 40% of companies focusing on the customer experience have strategic revenue growth above the average, prevention and satisfaction also increases the interaction with the user, the interaction with no longer the concrete role with the customer, but rather than the interaction with the customer with the interaction with the customer.

Technology, especially through artificial intelligence (AI), further enhances this integration. AI tools can analyze large volumes of data from support channels, detect trends, recurrences and possible failures in processes. With this information at hand, the company gains agility in decision making and can implement corrective actions more effectively. For example, the Brazilian delivery company iFood uses AI to monitor complaints in real time, allowing preventive interventions. However, technology alone is insufficient: without trained teams and a customer-centered culture, AI tools can amplify problems, such as generic responses that irritate consumers. LGPD also imposes preventive interventions.

Ultimately, a well-structured support plays a crucial role in reducing lawsuits and building a solid image in the market. The user experience is a determining factor for business success, and the way the company relates to its audience plays a key role in this process. The integration between the sectors responsible for active listening and legal management can not only solve problems before they become litigation, but also consolidate institutional credibility.In a scenario where consumer perception is increasingly valued, investing in interactions of excellence is a worthwhile strategy.

Brazilians seek mental balance and value company-supported breaks, study finds

In a scenario of excessive stimuli and accelerated routines, the desire for mental balance has made travel much more than leisure, but an essential part of emotional health care.A global survey commissioned by Booking.com shows that 79% of Brazilians have their main wellness strategy in travel in 2025.

The survey also indicates that 15% of Brazilians intend to make at least one solo leisure trip this year, especially among the young people of Generation Z (17%) and the male public (18%).

This data opens space for a relevant discussion about how companies can contribute to the emotional balance of employees. For Bruno Carone, CEO and co-founder of Vacations & Co., a travel corporate benefits platform, the answer lies in the way organizations encourage breaks.

“Viajar is a way to slow down, reorganize priorities and come back with more clarity and energy. Companies that offer this type of benefit show that they genuinely care about the well-being of their” teams, says Carone.The executive explains that it is very important that companies are attentive to include travel as a corporate benefit, with easy access to accommodations with negotiated rates and support in organizing planned breaks. 

According to a survey by Vacation and Co. in conjunction with USP, 94% of employees believe that taking vacations positively impacts productivity; 66% of subscribers state that with the benefit of Vacation & Co. they have a greater engagement at work, while 60% of subscribers state that with Vacation & Co. they have a lower interest in looking for another job “The impact is not only emotional, because investing in this type of experience improves engagement, contributes to talent retention and reinforces the employer brand”, concludes the CEO.

What are travelers looking for?

Most travelers seek relaxation (62%), followed by a desire to meet new national (45%) or international (40%) destinations, connect with nature (41%) and meet loved ones again (36%).

Even in solo trips, 55% of Brazilians point out that they sought to meet new people and 43% participated in social activities, such as guided tours, cafes and conversations with local residents.In addition to the experience itself, the most valued criteria when choosing the destination are safety (76%) and cost-benefit (75%).

“Offering a travel benefit goes far beyond rewarding. It is recognizing that mental health and quality time are strategic factors of productivity and” satisfaction, concludes Bruno Carone.

Beauty market to accumulate revenue of more than R$5 trillion by 2030

According to a survey by Zion Market Research, the global beauty and personal care products market is expected to jump from US$ 520.98 billion in 2022 to US$ 904.25 billion by 2030, driven by a compound annual growth rate of 7.15% between 2023 and 2030. Converting to the Brazilian currency, this is an expected move of R$ 5.114 trillion, a result of strengthening conscious consumption, the search for well-being and the digitization of the sector.

The upward growth of the segment is not limited to the consumption of products. Agile service models, uncomplicated and focused on customer convenience have come to occupy strategic space in the beauty journey. Networks specialized in express services, which offer complete experiences without the need for scheduling, have won the preference of an audience that values time, efficiency and immediate results.“Today, customer time is worth as much as the service itself.We create formats that meet the routine race without renouncing the quality”, says Mauricio Caesar, CEO of the Unhas Cariocas Group.

According to the professional, express services have changed the way people take care of themselves. The possibility of entering a unit, being served quickly and leaving transformed has created a culture of practical and accessible beauty. In front of brands such as Cariocas Nails, Brush Express and Alona Laboratories, Mauricio highlights that the standardization of excellence and focus on innovation are differentials to win and retain customers in an increasingly competitive sector.

“The advancement of aesthetic and personal care networks reflects a change in mentality. Consumers not only want high performance products, but also value immediate and accessible experiences”, says the executive.In adapting to this new reality, beauty franchises focused on fast services conquer national capillarity and position themselves as protagonists of a market in full effervescence.

Innovation and revenue growth drive specialized networks

With more than R$ 19.9 million in cumulative revenue in the first quarter of 2025 and a growth of 21.9% in the comparison of the period to 2024, Unhas Cariocas is one of the names that stand out in the new generation of beauty networks. In the last month of April, the brand achieved R$ 4.8 million in revenue, the result of more than 51 thousand calls, maintaining its trajectory towards the annual target of R$ 70 million.

Part of this performance is explained by the ability to innovate with agility. The network follows market trends and translates into relevant launches, such as the exclusive cutilage technique without leaving “bifes”, which has raised the standard of quality in the segment. “A innovation is not only in the product, but in the complete experience.Every detail, from service to finishing, is thought to surprise the customer”, Mauricio points out.

Another fast expanding front is the Brush Express, arm of the group dedicated to brushing, makeup and eyelash application. The services offered gain prominence not only for quality, but for the proposal of practicality and immediate results, especially on special occasions. “Caring for beauty needs to be something light and affordable. With the Brush Express, we can deliver this in a few minutes, with excellence and fair price”, says Mauricio.

The national market

Brazil occupies a strategic position in the global beauty scenario, not only by the volume of consumption, but by the creativity and ability to develop solutions adapted to the diversity of its consumers. The national industry stands out when creating products aimed at specific needs, respecting different skin types, hair and cultural preferences. “Brazilian beauty is multiple and requires products that reflect this plurality. This has become our biggest differential”, says the CEO.

Lines dedicated to the care of curly and frizzy hair, for example, have gained prominence in recent years, reflecting a movement of appreciation of identity and inclusion in consumption. This advance translates into innovative formulas, natural ingredients and campaigns that celebrate diversity as the essence of the sector.

Brazilian brands have been consolidating themselves as protagonists not only in the formulation of products, but also in the offer of specialized services. Networks such as the Unhas Cariocas Group personify this force by uniting cosmetic manufacturing, express service and continuous innovation in an ecosystem that grows with the consumer and for him. “Our commitment is to real and possible beauty, designed for those who want to take care of themselves with practicality, quality and identity”, concludes Mauricio.

Red Hat and Oracle Expand Collaboration to Accelerate Hybrid Cloud Transformation

With an eye on removing barriers to hybrid cloud adoption, Red Hat and Oracle have just expanded their strategic alliance.This new joint effort provides a more consistent cloud-native foundation essential for next-generation workloads, including artificial intelligence (AI), by bringing support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat OpenShift for more deployment options in the cloud Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), including government, sovereign and distributed cloud services.

According to Gartner, organizations' “90% will adopt a hybrid cloud approach by 2027, and GenAI's most urgent challenge next year will be data synchronization across the entire hybrid cloud environment”. This makes the continued availability of critical software in hybrid cloud environments a priority need. Red Hat and Oracle are proactively meeting this demand by strengthening the support and validation of core technologies that will enable IT teams to act effectively in both the present and an AI-driven future.

Red Hat hybrid cloud enhancements for OCI

Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat OpenShift at OCI now offer a wide range of validated configurations.This extends its reach to even the most sensitive and regulated computing environments, including high-security government clouds and sovereign deployments that follow specific regional mandates.

Red Hat OpenShift is now certified to run on OCI Roving Edge Infrastructure, Oracle Compute Cloud@Customer, and Oracle Private Cloud Appliance.

In addition, OCI customers can now use Red Hat Enterprise Linux in both OCI Dedicated Region Cloud and Oracle Alloy environments. Both environments offer more than 200 OCI cloud and AI services directly in customer data centers.With Oracle Alloy, customers can also become cloud providers by reselling OCI services to their own end users.

In addition, Red Hat OpenShift now supports OCI Compute bare metal instances with NVIDIA A100 GPUs and OCI Compute bare metal instances with NVIDIA H100 GPUs.This support expands the options available to organizations building and scaling AI-powered applications, enabling training and inference of high-performance models for demanding AI/ML workloads.

Oracle Software: now validated for Red Hat OpenShift

Oracle is actively validating key applications and software, such as Oracle WebLogic Server, to operate seamlessly in Red Hat OpenShift containers.This commitment offers a premium experience with joint support, enabling users to leverage the full potential of Oracle software with the flexibility, scalability, and power of Red Hat OpenShift, whether on-premises or in the cloud.

In addition, the recently validated Oracle Cloud Scale Monetization portfolio in Red Hat OpenShift provides a significant advantage for communication service providers (CSPs). By deploying this pre-integrated billing and revenue management portfolio in OpenShift, CSPs have greater infrastructure flexibility for unified and comprehensive business support systems.

Red Hat and Oracle Database: continuous collaboration

Oracle Database, including Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC), remains certified to operate on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Additionally, Red Hat has initiated a validation effort for Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization to better support Oracle Database customers on this evolving platform. As part of this initiative, Red Hat will review supported and most commonly used configurations in on-premises environments and provide guidance on how to deploy Oracle Database, including Oracle RAC when applicable, in OpenShift Virtualization.

5 marketing lessons with campaigns that have gone viral

When it comes to campaigns that go viral, more than numbers with many“zeros” are involved in social networks. There is a strategy beyond technique, mere button press and investment in ads. What you can learn from actions that gain public recognition is that any movement of a brand that has the goal of engaging the audience needs to touch the heart, so that it is almost intuitive to want to comment and share content. 

Andre Carvalho is CEO of Tempus Inova and has separated five lessons he has learned from successful making campaigns over the years. More than admiring, it is possible to learn from” “. 

1. Simplicity revolutionizes

It is not always necessary to throw a shower of confetti at the target audience and the “ campaignShare CokeREPLacing the Coca-Cola logo with names was a simple idea, but with a profound impact.It was personal, direct and resonated with every person who found the name on the bottle.

Another campaign that exemplifies this is “Thank You Mom” by P&G, which honored mothers of Olympic athletes. Without excesses, the message valued daily life. The lesson here is clear: simplicity, when well applied, can be revolutionary.

2. Sell purpose

Campaigns that go viral don't just sell products; they sell stories “Real Beauty Sketches” da Dove, for example, extolled the real beauty of women and connected the brand to deep feelings of self-worth and identity.

Brands that bet on emotion as a central pillar of the narrative can create something that goes beyond the purchase & create belonging. This goes beyond the relationship with the consumer of a punctual purchase for loyalty. As the great Guimaraes Rosa said, “o that life wants us to be courage. In this context, the courage of a brand is to create empathy.

3. Do not miss the “right moment” 

A viral campaign is deeply connected to the moment it is launched, taking into account what is happening at that moment.Nike demonstrated this with “Believe in Something”, starring Colin Kaepernick, in a pivotal period of discussions about racism and social justice.

4. Focus on people

Among all the trends, the great lesson of viral campaigns is that the focus should be on people, not on the product. When brands are placed as agents of transformation, creating human and authentic stories, they transcend the role of saleswomen and become symbols of a revolution.

5. The consumer wants to smile! 

In contemporary marketing, excessive seriousness no longer fits, especially when considering the new generation of consumers Old Spice Man's it shows how to create proximity in a humorous way, but with sensitivity. Another indisputable case of success taking into account the good humor are the Red Bull commercials.

The slogan “Red Bull gives you wings” is always accompanied by a metaphor, whether it is about a person who can move very fast from one place to another or about a turtle that gains speed with the use of products. Anyway, the message is so impactful that consumers read the phrase with the same tone of voice as advertisements. 

As Rubem Alves would say, “there are schools that are cages and there are schools that are wings.” In marketing, the same happens: there are brands that imprison and others that do like Red Bull and choose to fly. This decision can determine how the consumer sees the message: another advertisement or a communication that will be marked for life.
