BANGKOK, April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fraud has evolved into industrial-scale operations across Southeast Asia. At Money20/20 Asia 2026, held from April 21 to 23 in Bangkok, VIDA, Indonesia’s leading digital identity network, warned that traditional approaches to identity security are no longer sufficient.

Founder and CEO of VIDA, Niki Luhur, shared this during the panel session “How Cybercriminals Target Fintech and What’s Next.” He highlighted how fraud has scaled across the region, from industrialized scam compounds to cross-border syndicates spanning Myanmar, Thailand, and Indonesia. In one case, authorities in Myanmar seized $12 billion in Bitcoin, underscoring the scale of these operations.

“Cybercrime is democratic, they don’t care what size institution you are. They just scan for vulnerabilities. All the doors that are open, they exploit them,” said Niki Luhur.

This industrialized scale is made possible by one thing: Systematic exploitation of weak points across digital systems. Rather than targeting specific institutions, cybercriminals focus on vulnerabilities that can be replicated and scaled across platforms.

Niki emphasized that while attention is on deepfakes, the real threat lies deeper in the attack chain, particularly in injection attacks. “Deepfakes get the buzz, but the door is an injection attack. The majority come from virtual cameras on compromised devices,” he added.

His solution is clear: layered defense requiring three simultaneous verifications; the person (biometrics), their identity (against government databases), and the device. This approach addresses the infrastructure gap where KYC and authentication systems remain siloed across financial institutions.

Alongside its presence at the conference, VIDA is also launching ID FraudShield, a new fraud detection solution built for threats that traditional biometric checks can no longer stop. ID Fraud Shield combines biometric liveness with device intelligence, behavioral analytics, network detection, and rule-based fraud evaluation, all delivered in parallel through one SDK. It’s designed for one purpose: catching the fraud that liveness alone misses.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — INNIX, Dreame Technology’s premium home entertainment brand, presented its latest high-end television and home cinema product portfolio at a press conference held at the Palace of Fine Arts, San Francisco on April 28th. Focusing on enhancing the user experience, Dreame TV presented a diverse range of display innovations, including TVs, breakthrough display and audio innovations, highlighting its leading position in the industry. This strategic launch represents a significant milestone in INNIX’s North American market expansion and underscores the brand’s commitment to advancing home entertainment through differentiated, in-house developed technologies.

Global-first Dynamic Sound Engine: INNIX RGB Mini LED Transforming TV R8000F

The INNIX Aura Mini LED R8000 series, a flagship representation of Dreame’s high-quality TV technology, quickly became a highlight of the event. The INNIX Aura Mini LED R8000 series introduces the world’s first Dynamic Sound Engine—a proprietary audio architecture that dynamically synchronizes acoustic output with mechanical display transformations. This integration enables real-time adaptation of the soundstage in response to changes in screen form factor and orientation.

R8000F is the world’s first TV featuring a motion-adaptive 6.2.2 channel dynamic sound engine. Powered by the flagship Dreamind Master AI processor, it delivers millisecond-level real-time optimization of both sound and image—bringing every moment to a professional cinema-grade standard. On the display side, R8000F adopts next-generation RGB-Mini LED technology with direct red, green, and blue backlighting. By controlling color at the light source, it achieves exceptional color purity and expression—featuring 100% BT.2020 ultra-wide gamut and ΔE < 0.7 ultra-high color accuracy.

S100 — Black Crystal True Color Screen+A Soundbar Within, Achieving the Premium Atmosphere Maestro

As expectations for home entertainment continue to rise, users want to see more authentic detail, hear purer sound, and enjoy a simpler, all-in-one design. The S100 was created to meet these needs.

The S100 features Aura Mini LED backlight with full-array local dimming, delivering precise light control and deep blacks. With QLED+ technology producing over 1.07 billion colors, every detail is sharp and every shade true to life. Powered by the custom Dreamind Pro AI Processor, 2K content is intelligently upscaled close to 4K, with adaptive color and clarity tuning for natural, vivid frames. Furthermore, S100 features a Black Crystal True Color Screen, delivering an ultra-low 1.8% reflection, AG25 anti-glare, a stunning 20,000:1 contrast, hyper-realistic colors, and a consistent 178° wide viewing angle without color shift. This effectively eliminates glare even under bright environmental conditions.

At the same time, the S100 integrates a full soundbar into its body, this innovation delivers 4.1.2ch Master Sound System performance with 11 sound units and 70W peak power—far surpassing typical 40W outputs—creating 270° physical sound coverage. Consumers receive both a flagship TV and premium soundbar in one elegant package.

The S100 is not just a TV. It is an “Atmosphere Maestro” — seamlessly fusing sight and sound to deliver a truly cinematic immersive experience at home.

Available in more than 120 countries via over 6,500 retail outlets and flagship stores, Dreame TV seizes this press conference opportunity to position itself as a technological innovator in the global entertainment sphere.
