Shopping centers in Venezuela will remain open until 11:00 p.m. as part of the measures implemented by the Venezuelan Chamber of Shopping Centers (Cavececo) during the holiday season.

During this time, there is an increase in the number of visitors to shopping centers to make holiday purchases and enjoy leisure time with their families.

It is common for closing times to be extended during this month to allow shoppers to enjoy the varied schedule of events at the shopping centers, which include live music, tastings, special offers, and, in particular, activities for children.

The president of the Venezuelan Chamber of Shopping Centers (Cavececo), Alfredo Cohen, indicated that the hours will be from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., adding that it is a beneficial measure “for the economy in the sense that many more people will have access to shopping centers.”

The supply of supermarkets and convenience stores is guaranteed for the Christmas season, according to Ítalo Atencio, president of the National Association of Supermarkets and Self-Service Stores (ANSA) in a television interview.

The official explained that he recently held meetings with executives from “several supermarket chains, representatives of the agro-industrial and food sectors, where a supply front was worked on: the supply of sensitive and Christmas products is guaranteed this Christmas season.”

He emphasized that product prices were reviewed, “and each sector communicated each of its nodes that were affecting those prices.” He also acknowledged an increase in domestic production of various items and highlighted the presence of “brands for goods such as rice, tomato sauce, corn flour, pasta, coffee, margarine, mayonnaise, cleaning products, and grains; which he believes was achieved through the increase in the number of stores throughout Venezuela.”

Purchases and payments over the Internet increase in December. And as Christmas approaches, cyberattacks are also increasing. In this sense, Google issued a warning to be aware of the possible arrival of malicious emails.

Australians have been the focus of these warnings, although they are valid for all Internet users who could be targeted by email containing spam, phishing or malware, among others.

Google warns of five possible ways to attack users, starting with the seemingly harmless gift cards and gifts. “Scammers may try to trick people into buying a gift card from them, sometimes by impersonating a known contact or promoting a free prize in exchange for sharing credit card information,” Google Cloud explained. It is necessary to stay alert, be wary of strange messages, offers that are too good.

Then there are the fake donations. At Christmas, cybercriminals take advantage of people’s innocence and goodwill to carry out scams on behalf of charities that they have impersonated online.

Third, Google warns about irregularities with emails that request renewal of a subscription. Hackers impersonate legitimate companies such as antivirus, security, requesting subscription renewal to get user data.

The fourth reason for distrust is cryptocurrencies due to false applications, tokens and related services through email. “Typographical errors, misplaced email addresses or payment demands are some relevant alarm signals”, reports Google Cloud.

The fifth reason to be alert, according to Google, are possible scams through personal attacks, based on “demographic data” such as the age and place of residence of the victim. It is important to remember that legitimate, real companies will never request personal information or payment through an email.

Amazon is preparing a novelty for its mobile application that will bring the style of social networks to its shopping app, with which users will be able to see products in a feed of images and videos and interact with them.

The technology company is preparing a new portal accessible from its application, a project known internally under the name of Inspire, which would be displayed with a diamond icon on the home page.

This section would adopt a style more similar to that of social networks, with a feed with products, which users will be able to share or mark a “Like”, and which will also allow them to buy the items they show.

An Amazon spokeswoman said the company is “constantly testing new features that help make users’ lives a little easier.”

According to a source close to these plans, the feed is already being tested internally, being visible to a reduced group of company workers.

The CEO of Tesla, Elon Musk, recently assured that there are still “unresolved issues” to be able to finalize the purchase of the Twitter social network.

Through a videoconference, Musk from Doha indicated that it is currently pending to clarify “the number of false accounts and spam that Twitter says is 5%, although it is not our experience”

Two weeks ago, Musk threatened not to complete the purchase of Twitter precisely because of this issue, since he has not received the information he required from the company.

On the other hand, the businessman hopes to obtain an answer on whether “the portion of the debt round will be met and whether the shareholders will vote in favor.”

Musk also said that this operation will not have any impact in China, since the network does not operate there, so it should not interfere with the freedom of expression in the United States.

The president of the United States announced This Wednesday a plan to attack the crisis that the Covid-19 pandemic has generated in the distribution and supply chains in the country, in addition to reassuring the population in the face of the statements of a possible shortage that recently hinted, Janet Yellen, secretary of the Treasure.

Biden announced an agreement with the syndicates of the country’s main ports, such as Los Angeles, California, and Long Beach, as well as private sector companies to extend work hours 24 hours a day, seven days a week, without a break.

The president said that they seek to tackle a potential shortage at Christmas, when the population’s consumption increases. For three weeks, the extension of working hours has been applied in the sectors involved, not only in the distribution of food, but also in the importation of parts and pieces, transportation, among others. The measure will also help prevent delivery and distribution problems during the well-known Black Friday.

Given the increase in electronic commerce due to the pandemic, which currently exceeds 40% in the country, failures have emerged in the supply chains to meet consumer demand.

Biden has highlighted the weaknesses of the supply system, which have been aggravated due to the consequences of the health crisis, and which have had an impact on the increase in the prices of goods and services, in addition to having changed consumption patterns worldwide.

Regarding the plan announced by the president of the United States, it was learned that it has the support of chains such as Walmart, as well as courier companies such as UPS and FedEx. It has also received the approval from the Treasury department, the Transportation department and the port authorities.
