As Malaysians gear up for year-end holidays, Kaspersky is rolling out a special promotion designed to keep travellers connected and protected abroad. From 1 to 31 December 2025, every purchase of Kaspersky Plus or Kaspersky Premium will come with a free 1GB regional eSIM, giving holidaymakers instant data access in more than 120 countries.
A Travel Bundle Designed for Safety and Convenience
To reduce these risks, Kaspersky is bundling its security products with a travel-ready eSIM solution. The complimentary eSIM (redeemable through the Kaspersky eSIM Store) gives users the ability to connect immediately upon arrival, schedule activation for future trips, and top up additional data whenever needed. It can also be reused long-term with just a single installation. The app also allows real-time data monitoring for hassle-free travel.

Travellers Often Underestimate Cyber Risks Abroad
According to academic research highlighted by Kaspersky, many travellers still make the mistake of using unsecured public Wi-Fi for sensitive tasks such as banking, bookings, and online payments. This behaviour exposes them to cyberattacks, especially during peak travel seasons.
Kaspersky’s own threat analysis paints an even clearer picture: In 2024 alone, the company detected over 38 million phishing attempts targeting online shopping, digital payments and banking services — many of them disguised as fake airline tickets, tour packages, hotel deals, and festive-season promotions. Travellers relying on last-minute mobile searches, especially when lost or under pressure, are at even higher risk.
Cyber Safety Tips for Travellers
Kaspersky also shared key advice for Malaysians heading abroad:
- Use your own data for sensitive tasks. Avoid doing online banking, payments or shopping over public Wi-Fi. A travel eSIM provides safer connectivity on the go.
- Disable auto-connect. Turning off automatic Wi-Fi connections helps prevent accidentally joining malicious hotspots.
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA). Adds an extra layer of protection to email, e-wallets, and social apps.
- Keep your device updated. Ensure your phone and essential apps are running the latest versions before your trip.
- Install a trusted security app. Kaspersky Plus and Premium offer real-time threat protection, device tracking, and now—free travel data.
