Chinachem Group Pioneers Asia’s First Triple-Themed Syndicated Loan

Accelerating Green Buildings & Socially Inclusive Urban Development


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 April 2025 – Chinachem Group (“CCG”) announced today the successful closure of an HK$8 billion syndicated loan facility (“the Facility”), marking its debut syndicated loan and establishing a new benchmark for sustainable finance in Asia. As the region’s first syndicated loan to combine green, social and sustainability-linked components, the Facility garnered exceptional market reception, with final commitments from 12 leading international, regional and local banks, oversubscribed by over 2.5 times the initial target.

Chinachem Group seals a key financial partnership with Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited, DBS Bank Hong Kong, Hang Seng Bank Limited, and The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited at the Signing Ceremony of the HK$8,000,000,000 Green, Social and Sustainability-Linked Syndicated Loan in Hong Kong on 24 April 2025.

By aligning financing with measurable sustainability outcomes, we’re institutionalising responsible development at every level of our business.”

OMRON Healthcare Donates 4,000 Blood Pressure Monitors and Advances AFib Screening with AI-based Intellisense AFib Technology

– Intellisense AFib Technology Able to Detect Possible Atrial Fibrillation with Every Measurement; May 17 Marks World Hypertension Day during May Measurement Month –

KYOTO, Japan, April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — OMRON Healthcare Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Muko, Kyoto Prefecture; hereinafter referred to as “the Company”) is proud to continue its long-term commitment to the sponsorship of May Measurement Month (MMM), an awareness-raising campaign of blood pressure monitoring. As part of this commitment, the Company will donate approximately 4,000 blood pressure monitors to MMM. This year, the donated devices include blood pressure monitors that detect possible atrial fibrillation (AFib) using the new AI-based Intellisense AFib technology, as well as blood pressure monitors featuring integrated ECG technology.

OMRON Healthcare has partnered with MMM since 2017 to promote and help to create awareness of the dangers of raised blood pressure and hypertension and to date has donated approximately 30,000 blood pressure monitors across 100 countries. Now, in its seventh year running, this initiative has been crucial in educating hypertensive patients to measure their blood pressure and to support early detection of AFib to help reduce stroke risk.

“Atrial fibrillation is a potentially life-threatening arrhythmia, and people with high blood pressure are at significantly greater risk of developing it. Regular monitoring of blood pressure is a crucial tool in identifying those risks and enables people to manage hypertension more effectively. With the donation of these monitors, we are able to support earlier detection, better treatment and, ultimately, save more lives,” said Professor Neil R Poulter, Chief Investigator and Chair of Trustees, of May Measurement Month.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), high blood pressure is responsible for more than 10 million deaths worldwide each year. And alarmingly, approximately 1 in 4 people with AFib are initially asymptomatic.*1 If left untreated, hypertension increases the risk of developing life-threatening cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases such as stroke and heart failure. Early detection and proper treatment of hypertension can prevent serious complications. Home blood pressure monitoring is associated with better blood pressure control and therefore enhances prevention.

This year’s MMM will be held from May 1 to July 31. The event will offer hands-on blood pressure measurements and provide advice on diet and blood pressure management. Additionally, visitors, in some regions, will be able to assess their AFib risk through blood pressure measurements and ECG recordings. Studies have confirmed that the incidence of AFib is about three times higher in hypertensive patients than in those with normal blood pressure*2. By donating blood pressure monitors that can detect the possibility of AFib to MMM, the Company is providing an opportunity to raise awareness of its risks among hypertensive patients.

Looking ahead, Tuya will continue working alongside global developers to advance technology adoption and usher in the commercial era of AIoT together.

TeamT5 Warns of Global Risks Posed by Ivanti Vulnerability

TAIPEI, April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Asia Pacific threat intelligence leading brand TeamT5 detected that the China-nexus APT group exploited the critical vulnerability in Ivanti Connect Secure VPN appliances to infiltrate multiple entities around the globe. The victims include nearly 20 different industries across 12 countries. TeamT5 believes that the actor still maintained control over the victim’s network at the time of analysis. We urge enterprises and organizations to take a comprehensive investigation.

TeamT5 Warns of Global Risks Posed by Ivanti Vulnerability
TeamT5 Warns of Global Risks Posed by Ivanti Vulnerability

Ivanti High-Risk Vulnerability Exposes Systems to Potential Takeover by Attackers

TeamT5’s analysis assessed with high confidence that the actor was exploiting the vulnerabilities of Ivanti Connect Secure VPN appliances to launch attacks around the globe. The actor possibly exploited CVE-2025-0282 or CVE-2025-22457 to conduct initial access.

Both CVE-2025-0282 and CVE-2025-22457 are stack buffer overflow vulnerabilities in Ivanti Connect Secure VPN with a CVSS score of 9.0. Successful exploitation allows the threat actor to achieve remote code execution, leading to intrusion of the internal network and malware implantation.

In the attack, the actor deployed a shared weapon among Chinese threat groups, SPAWNCHIMERA. SPAWNCHIMERA is developed specifically for Ivanti Connect Secure VPN and has all the functionalities of the notorious SPAWN family, including SPAWNANT (installer), SPAWNMOLE (socks5 tunnler), SPAWNSNAIL (SSH backdoor), and SPAWNSLOTH (log wiper).

Moreover, TeamT5’s analysis suggests that other threat actors might also obtain the vulnerability information and start campaigns targeting Ivanti VPN appliances. We have observed massive exploitation attempts against Ivanti VPN appliances since April. Although most exploitation attempts failed, many Ivanti VPN appliances became paralyzed and unstable. 

Widespread Impact Across Countries and Industries Calls for Urgent System Review

TeamT5 points out that the victim countries include Austria, Australia, France, Spain, Japan, South Korea, Netherlands, Singapore, Taiwan, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The targeted industries include Automotive, Chemical, Conglomerate, Construction, Information Security, Education, Electronics, Financial Institution, Gambling, Government, Intergovernmental Organizations (IGOs), Information Technology, Law Firm, Manufacturing, Materials, Media, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), Research Institute, and Telecommunication.

TeamT5 strongly recommends that affected organizations conduct a thorough incident investigation. Given the versatile TTPs of the actor, such as multi-layers of C2 infrastructure, evasion of monitor mechanism, and the usage of log wiper, without additional technical support, it would be a challenge to detect the actor’s malicious traces inside the network. 

About TeamT5

TeamT5 consists of top cyber threat analysts. Leveraging our geographic and cultural advantages, we have the best understanding of cyber attackers in Asia Pacific. TeamT5 is frequently invited to share insights at top cybersecurity conferences.
