New Philippines Office Brings a Real Alternative to Philippines Immigration Market

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, Jun 10 (MARKET WIRE) —
World leading visa company Global Visas has opened a new office in the
Philippines, bringing a real professional alternative to the
under-trained and unregulated local Philippines immigration agents. The
opening of the new office provides a way for local people to get access
to professional advice and a world-leading authority on immigration law.
Thus locals wishing to move to Canada, Australia, or the UK will have
access to world-class immigration support services.

The Philippines is home to many of the world’s hardest working and most
highly skilled workers, making the Pacific island group one of the most
important sources of labour for the rest of the world. Countries like the
UK, Canada, and Australia have profited from Filipino skills, and
continue to seek them. The Philippines is the world’s largest immigration
market apart from Nigeria, so the new office is well placed to service
the requirements of the Philippines immigration market, and particularly
to provide support to locals wishing to move to Australia. For Filipinos,
Australia immigration can be particularly attractive given Australia’s
location in the Pacific Rim, enabling migrants to return home more
frequently than they could from Europe or the eastern United States.

Global businesses see the Philippines as an attractive market in which to
invest, so the new Global Visas office will also be providing support
services for immigration to the Philippines. The former Spanish colony is
a fast-growing and dynamic Asian economy in its own right, and is an
attractive place for inward investment for global businesses.

Global Visas is delighted to have its new Philippines office, supporting
not just UK, Australia and Canada immigration applications for Filipinos
migrating elsewhere, but also serving businesses seeking to bring
external skills into the local market. The new office is a strategic
addition to the worldwide Global Visas network, bringing all of the
company’s worldwide knowledge and power to a market that has previously
lacked this level of expertise.

Global Visas Philippines Manager John Clifford says, “We are looking
forward to offering regulated and professional services to people who are
all too often reliant on unregulated poor advice which frequently causes
more problems than it solves. We are very keen to take on these dubious
agencies and engage with local embassies to ask them to help us address
these issues.”

1.5m stolen Facebook accounts up for sale on the black market

London, May 5 (ANI): A sale of 1.5 million stolen Facebook accounts on the black market by a hacker has created panic amongst users.

Researchers at VeriSign iDefense Labs, an internet security firm, said that they had found stolen login details for the world”s most popular social networking site on sale for as little as $25 for 1,000 on a Russian website Carder.su.

According to the firm, the hacker called ”kirllos” was offering login information for bundles of 1,000 accounts with 10 or fewer friends on sale for just $25 (£16) and with more than 10, for $45 (£30).

Facebook however, has rubbished the claims, saying that ”kirllos” was known for making wild claims.

According to the Sun, company spokesman Barry Schnitt said Facebook had tried to buy details from kirllos during its own investigation but that “the hacker was unable to produce anything for our buyer”.

Hackers use software that logs computer keystrokes or ‘phishing’ techniques that trick users into giving out their passwords, personal information like birth dates, addresses and phone numbers.

The accounts can then be hijacked to send spam and malicious programs or to commit identity frauds.

Users concerned about their account privacy can report the matter through the Help Centre. (ANI)
