For LG Electronics (LG), K-Tech is not just about advanced appliances. It is about bringing Korean innovation into the daily rhythms of Asian households, including in the Philippines — helping people wash clothes more efficiently, prepare meals more conveniently, manage compact spaces better, and connect home experiences more intuitively.

Kaspersky: Half of adults have experienced tech-enabled abuse, but most don’t recognize it

Kaspersky has launched a report on tech-enabled abuse based on its global study*, which reveals that 45.7% of respondents experienced at least one form of tech-enabled abuse in the past 12 months — yet only 32% of people correctly understand what the term means. The report also includes an analysis of dark web offerings related to stalking services and shares key insights into the evolving landscape of stalkerware, with over 34,000 users affected by this threat in 2024-2025.

Tech-enabled abuse, also known as technology-facilitated abuse, refers to abusive behavior carried out or amplified through digital technologies such as smartphones, social media, or online platforms. It includes a wide spectrum of actions — from online harassment and exclusion to cyberstalking, impersonation, and unauthorized monitoring.

Because these behaviors often lack physical evidence and are embedded in daily communication, many users fail to recognize them as abuse. As a result, harmful actions may be normalized or overlooked.
