Asia

Hong Kong-based online retailer Playasia took its store offline after weeks of sustained, sophisticated cyberattacks, and is conducting a full security audit and systems hardening.

Leadership read: A breach is a governance event before it is a technical one.

Asia

Suzhou Dongshan Precision Manufacturing

Asia

Suzhou Dongshan Precision Manufacturing is running a Hong Kong IPO of 113.7 million shares at a maximum HK$93.80 per share, with 20 cornerstone investors, but reportedly raising less than expected amid US trade restriction concerns over its optical modules business.

For Suzhou Dongshan Precision Manufacturing, a raise in the sector funds leadership depth, scale, go-to-market and operational rigour, rather than any single appointment.
