Bits + Bytes: This Week’s Essential Tech Mix

Hello and welcome to "Bits + Bytes: A Miscellany Of Technology," your weekly roundup of the latest in tech. Malaysia leads the way this week with a tech salary surge, especially for system engineers, as industry demand shifts into overdrive. Meanwhile, cybersecurity is in focus as Kaspersky warns SMEs to use real-time malware detection and strict USB controls after detecting a new, more advanced Triada Trojan. This malware, which is preinstalled on counterfeit Android devices, operates at the firmware level and enables attackers to hijack social media accounts, pilfer cryptocurrency, and block network traffic-a severe supply chain threat.

In the meantime, experts demand regular software updates and employee cyber hygiene to guard against new threats. The pace of innovation, rising salaries, and new risks indicate the ever-changing face of global technology.
