Popular Vietnamese delivery system gets hacked

December 9, 2020 by hanoitimes.vn

The Hanoitimes – The Vietnamese delivery system Giao Hang Tiet Kiem (GHTK – Saving on Deliveries) was attacked by hackers.

According to the social publishing platform Medium, hackers got access to nearly 4GB of source code of the delivery system Giao Hang Tiet Kiem and sold it online.

Speaking about the data they are selling, the hackers said they got it because there was a major flaw in the GHTK system. This flaw allowed them to view, edit and modify the codes of any projects. As the result, they downloaded all of the system’s data.

Medium said the flaw could be the result of mistakes in the DevOps practices of the system’s programmers and administrators. It could also be caused by the system’s password low level of security, which made it become untrustworthy.

A cybersecurity expert said the hackers could probably use the technique social engineering. This is a form of attack that targets the employees of GHTK, deceiving them to break into the system and steal data.

GHTK is a professional e-commerce delivery company in Vietnam founded in 2013. It specialises in providing convenient door-to-door delivery services for online shops and businesses.

With a wide range of operations with more than 1,000 branches nationwide, GHTK currently has more than 20,000 customers, serving millions of orders per month. The delivery company is also keeping a large amount of data including important information such as name, phone number, and address of users.

At present, there is no information on whether personal data of customers using GHTK’s services has been exploited. However, that scenario is highly possible, according to Medium.

GHTK is not the first company to suffer from data leakage and system source code issues. More than 50 companies, including Microsoft, Adobe, Lenovo, AMD, Qualcomm, MediaTek,… have also been victims of cybercrime organisations.

Experts warn of high risks for information security in 2021

November 2, 2021 by vietnamnet.vn

Still coping with difficulties caused by Covid-19, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) also face risks in information and data security in 2021.

Experts warn of high risks for information security in 2021

Kaspersky’s report on the impact of Covid-19 on SMEs in 2020 pointed out that as the pandemic has caused serious damage to businesses, many of them cut their budgets for information technology and information security solutions in 2021. Micro businesses and business households do not have enough money to hire workers in charge of information security.

Ransomware

Experts said ransomeware of different types ‘mushroomed’ in 2020, targeting more subjects and increasing the level of danger. They have targeted hospitals, medical and financial institutions, important agencies, factories and infrastructure items in order to increase the pressure and require ransoms.

Meanwhile, the level of awareness and vigilance of SMEs about the malware remains modest.

A report from Coveware showed that ransomware ‘favors’ SMEs with fewer than 100 officers with 55 percent of attacks targeting this group of businesses.

The majority of SMEs that are victims of ransomeware pay ransoms in exchange to get back for their important data.

A new characteristic of Ransomware 2.0 is that they not only encrypt data and require ransoms, but also blackmail victims in exchange for not making public the data.

Scamming via emails, mobile messages

Hackers exploit mistakes by officers and key personnel in enterprises and organizations to penetrate into their systems, and steal financial information and enterprises’ data.

Abnormal Security reported that the number of phishing emails disguised as invoices and payments has increased by 81 percent, causing a loss of $81,000 on average for every attack.

Experts found that it is easier to cheat people via mobile messages associated with links that people click on. This type of phishing has become favored by hackers.

Response

Ngo Tran Vu, CEO of NTS Security, said the Covid-19 pandemic has forcef SMEs to run a remote working regime, which is a high risk for businesses’ information safety.

“Officers working from a distance tend to be (careless) when accessing enterprises’ secret information. They may access businesses’ accounts from public wifi networks which can be hacked easily,” he said.

The devices they use, such as computers and smartphones, also cannot be protected well like devices at office which are protected by professional IT officers. Therefore, businesses need to set principles for information access to protect data.

“A plan for safe remote work and scenarios to respond to emergency cases are necessary for SMEs,” Vu said.

He went on to say that backup, both offline and online, on clouds will help reduce risks from ransomware.

Ukiyoto Publishing (Singapore) Starts Year 2021 with Mega Thrillers & Bestsellers

February 8, 2021 by bizhub.vn

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach - 8 February 2021 – Ukiyoto Singapore Pte Ltd. starts out the year 2021 with exciting releases ranging across mystery thrillers, memoirs, biographies and culinary reviews. With its focus on literary activities in Asia, this season of Litteratura, The Literary Magazine slated for release end Feb’21 covers few of the best authors and writers from Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore and India.

In Q3 FY20-21, Ukiyoto had tied up with a chain of mega bookstores such as Kinokuniya, MPH, Times, LitBook Cafe via distributor Gerakbudaya in Malaysia to source books for placement at their stores. Several outdoor activities such as book launch, book reading, award ceremonies and others are planned in the second half of 2021 based on government decisions with regards the pandemic.

To mark the Chinese New Year 2021, an online live Panel Discussion is scheduled on 14th Feb, 12:30pm PHT on the topic, “Scope of Literature in Asia post Pandemic”. The panel comprises writers from Philippines — Lia de Jesus, Nicole Narvato, Karmela Mirriam Ebreo and Anne Marla moderated by best selling author, Shrutidhora P Mohor from India.

Christine Musa, author from Philippines says, “My book entitled, ‘I Escaped the Narcissist: Memoirs of an Empath Supernova‘ was the very first ever published book that I have, all thanks to Ukiyoto Publishing for making my dream of becoming a published author finally come true!

Christine’s future plans as a published author is to produce more content which are focused around having a peaceful life away from any form of abuse and a truthful life away from any pretentions driven by the desire to have a picture-perfect ideal life.

Karmela Mirriam Ebreo, a Filipina by blood and birth is a lawyer by profession and a blogger by passion. An active member of Soroptimist International, a global volunteer organization working to economically empower women and girls, she started Mirriam Dictionary back in 2009 when she was about to graduate college. Life had a few surprises along the way and she ended up in law school. Her recently released title, Life Un-Counselled supposed to be a collection of her musings and life hacks — That is what the title is really about, life counselling. Since she is not a psychologist but a case counsel — not an expert on life in general, it was tweaked to be “un-counselled”. However, upon consultation with Ukiyoto, she was advised that it was best to feature her craft projects for her first book with the subtitle: a case of quick craft projects.

Mirriam loves DIYs and everything crafting but hates long and complicated ones. In a nutshell, the book is for those who are like her — a lazy type of crafter.

“I am all for women empowerment. Women and girls have so much to offer this world, and when they are empowered, they can contribute more to society. Most women are inherently creative but sometimes they are discouraged by complexities. In a way, Life un-counselled: a case of quick craft project seeks to inspire these creative hearts to begin. That is also why extremely easy projects are featured in the book. From here, they can start a small business too like paper crafts or party favors. If they do that, they are one step closer to becoming economically empowered women, the goal of the organization I am in– Soroptimist International. The book somehow tries to achieve that too.” as Mirriam tells us.

Vartika Sharma Lekhak, our author from India is a post-graduate in History from JNU, an educator by profession and a travel writer.

She is the author of the book — Bra Strap, and two anthologies — When Women Speak Up and The Take Off. The short-story collection Bra Strap — The stories hidden beneath the strings gives voice to the subdued tales of women from different walks of life. It highlights the message that everyone has a story to tell, some of them are magnificent, while some are ordinary. But every story needs to be told. The Anthology ‘When Women Speak Up’, published by Women’s Web, features leading women voices in India including her contribution, ‘The Girl With Sealed Vagina.’  The Take Off, a passionate project of Cyclops, is India’s first book that brings true stories of Indian cyclists, including her contribution, ‘A Housewife’s Bike Love Story.’

From childhood, Vartika liked to maintain a writing journal. Even today she has a trunk full of old diaries, letters which she considers as her priced possessions.

Vartika’s Inspiration: “Very early I had discovered that the message which I can put across through my writing is more impactful than the spoken words. I find writing a more resonating tool than anything else. Like, when I was in grade nine, I was punished by the headmistress for something which was not my mistake. I was so angry and hurt, didn’t know how to react. Then I wrote a poem expressing my detest at the injustice and the next day in the school assembly recited it. Of course, after that, the headmistress was more annoyed and my games period were banned, but I was now at peace for speaking up.”

Vartika’s writing continued through the college days in the campus journals and sometimes through the young writers’ meets. By then it had evolved into words that were sensitive but also sharp. She was writing more about social impacts, such as the incidences of rape, dowry deaths, gender prejudice, lawlessness and others. Some of them were published in the national dailies and online forums engaged in serious discussion about these issues. The turning point came when she started receiving encouraging letters from the readers. This motivated her that there are many who think like her and most importantly, her pen is making an impact. Like a reader wrote, ‘I am the father of a boy and I read your article ‘The Mother of a Daughter.’ Thank you for an uncensored narrative of a mother’s fears. We need to read more of this more often.’

Shrutidhora P Mohor, had her debut with her autobiographical novel The Unknown Script which is a story of a young professional woman’s journey in life. Two of her next writings, both long stories, went on to take her ahead into the world of literature by clearly establishing her preferred genre as literary fiction with a strong element of politics and shades of romance in it. Of these two, Twenty Three Summers remains her most-read, most-loved work, blending the political dispute in Kashmir with a same-sex love story. The other one, Showing Results: Zero of Zero is a futuristic dystopian tale of a reclusive man and his possible encounters with alien life and the utterly real consequences of that in a digitised, virtual existence of mankind. Set in India of 2049 it is a story that silences the din and bustle of our wearily repetitive, social mediatised lives with a truth that is simple yet disturbing.

The next publication has been Where the Sky Feels Cold, a novella resituating the much-adored couple Sudarshan and Rukhi in an intensely conflictual politically destabilised contemporary India of 2019. Making a renewed use of the ‘political’ in her writings Mohor went on to pen a long story called Nefeli and Us: A Story of Love from the Past which got converted then into a graphic novel. A unique piece of work, it is a continuation of her tradition of writing which takes a serious look into even more serious questions of identity and rights through the lens of fiction, this time going back thousands of years into the Greek city-states of the classical Hellenic times.

Her latest single title The Last Gift is once again a novella in which Mohor explores postmodernist story-telling (taking advantage of her academic background, her professional competence, and her disciplinary base as a student of Political Science) by writing a story of perplexing interactions between an author-mentor and an author-disciple of his which tear apart metanarratives and the framework of sequence/ chronology of story-telling.    

Sofia Naznim is a corporate strategist, author, blogger, and influencer from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. While speaking to her she says, “I have always wanted to be an author from the first day I discovered that my ultimate passion is writing when I was thirteen years old! It took me seventeen years to fulfil my ultimate dream which is becoming an author. It didn’t happen overnight or in a short period of time. The journey was interesting yet challenging and full of obstacles. I truly believe that if we want to achieve something so hard, we need to fully prepare and work for it and be persistent no matter how tough the journey will be. Even though there were many trials encountered in my journey, I still persevere and work hard to pursue my dream. I’m happy that I stayed true in what I truly believe in, didn’t give up and endeavoured towards achieving my goals.

I seriously began sharing my articles with people when I was twenty five years old. From there onwards, I have written more than three hundred articles along with the creation of my own website with stories, and reviews. In October 2020, I finally released my first motivational book, “A Book of Life (ABOL)“. ABOL will take you in the deep journey of enlightening you to find your motivation and inspiring you to be a better you. ABOL is available in Paperback and eBook now on Amazon, Kindle, Google Play, Ukiyoto, showcased at Frankfurt Buchmesse both in online as well as paperback formats! May all us can make a difference in our lives, the life of others and other beings too by reading ABOL.”

Harish Muralidhar, a twenty-five year from India published his book, “What is Justice?” in December 2020 and has since then been on several interviews and panels speaking about his book. Harish believes Quotes can bring a drastic as well as a positive change in one’s life and they have helped him overcome difficult circumstances in his life, which was what made him come up with his first book “52 Quotes to Change Your Life.”

“I have always had the passion to write from my school days but never dared to choose it as a career. But after I started my business, I decided to spare some time for my passion and lockdown has also helped to finish my book quickly. As previously stated writing is not a full-time profession for me at this point in time, I have always motivated others to follow their passion without compromising their profession, which would give them immense satisfaction.

Watching the news and movies which revolves about the crime and tragedy in the world has affected me deeply and I wanted to bring awareness to the world about it, so I decided to write a crime fiction book which is my second book named, ‘What is Justice?’, which is a crime thriller.”

Ethel Da Costa, an award winning Lifestyle Journalist, former Editor and Radio Head, an International Lifestyle Influencer, a global nomad, a seeker of truth and love released her book, The Stiletto Foodie — A Blog Binge in Malaysia (on 1st January 2021) which is her own discovery of self and soul in Malaysia through food. She had showcased twelve culinary ambassadors who she believes represent their own journey and their expression of self through the food they create and showcase to the world.

“I feel there is a series coming out from this title since there is so much more to write on food and the food of Malaysia. In fact, food of the different countries I hope I travel through. It’s so exciting.” says Ethel.

Ethel has been on this journey for the last thirty years with a multi-faceted media career that has taken her all over the world. One such journey brought her to Malaysia in November 2019 invited by Malaysia Tourism. They invited her back again in February 2020 when she decided that she was going to heed the call of Malaysia; hence returned in March 2020 and is now currently based in Kuala Lumpur. Meeting talented chefs and their experiences and journeys made a deep impact on her.

“It brought me home to myself. The more I got to know the soul of Malaysia, the more I was experiencing healing and a freedom, a letting go, which also evolved into food blogs. A very intimate journey exists between the food and emotions. The gift of words is my vocation. There is a purpose to this gift. I’m just honouring it here on my time on Earth.”

IT college student praised by American tech giant for discovering vulnerabilities

February 11, 2021 by e.vnexpress.net

“Hello everyone, my name is Quynh. I am a senior at the Academy of Cryptography Techniques, Hanoi, and a security researcher, a job focusing on vulnerabilities in the Java platform.”

That was how Quynh introduced herself at a security webinar last October.

Over the past five years, the 23-year-old had to repeat this introduction during many lectures since few thought a girl in her early twenties could detect as many as four vulnerabilities with high severity in less than a year, transforming her into a favorite speaker at various information security events.

The four Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE), the general term for security vulnerabilities, Quynh has found are CVE-2020-14625, CVE-2020-14825, CVE-2020-2883, and CVE-2020-2798. Of these, three vulnerabilities rated 9.8 out of 10 by experts on Oracle WebLogic Server in terms of severity. The other rated 7.2.

Oracle’s WebLogic Server application is used by tens of thousands of companies around the world, bringing billions of dollars in revenue to the U.S. technology giant. If not detected early, the vulnerabilities above could be exploited by hackers and might cause unpredictable consequences.

With Oracle publishing a list of vulnerabilities and patches for its products every quarter, the name of the senior college student popped up thrice last year.

Getting hooked by chance

To be able to detect her very first CVE in two weeks, it took Quynh four years of schooling and two months of research.

But she admitted she did not enter this industry because of her passion or with a specific goal, but simply found it “cool.”

“I decided to study IT since I have always had a curious mind and the program has a study abroad option,” she recalled.

Surprisingly, the first-year college student who loves literature and knows how to play the piano had completed her study program with good results and earned a study slot abroad. But when she achieved her initial goal, Quynh realized she really loved information security and later decided to continue pursuing this field.

At the end of her sophomore year, Quynh learned and sought wisdom from older college students and later earned an apprenticeship at the information security center of state-owned telecom firm Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group (VNPT).

“I was mesmerized and really got hooked. Initially, I just wanted to learn about the field from older students, but later became interested in this industry.”

When she discovered the first Oracle vulnerability in late 2019, she screamed for joy, but later worried someone may have detected the flaw before her.

According to Quynh, these are emotions she would never forget since her passion produced results and got recognized.

Dream of heading overseas

To find a vulnerability, information security personnel like Quynh spend months researching the problem and looking back at the discovered vulnerabilities. So sitting in front of the computer for tens of hours a day is not a strange thing for this girl.

Even though finding the problem is already a challenge, proving it a threat is even more difficult, with the hardest step writing codes to hack into the system.

“Just like saying an old lock is bad for securing things. We also need to show how the bad guy can potentially break the lock,” Quynh explained.

She said an IT engineer “must really understand the software and vulnerability” in order to detect the CVE.

All the vulnerabilities she found relate to Oracle’s WebLogic, which was written using Java programming language.

Focusing and specializing on problems related to serialization in Java, most of the vulnerabilities Quynh has detected are associated with this mechanism. Some errors can be found in a week, while some may take her up to a month to discover.

Once found, it can take months to come up with the patch to fix the CVE, with solutions needed as soon as possible to minimize the impact on clients.

Quynh revealed she wishes to become an influencer in the global information security industry.

“I want to detect even harder vulnerabilities and become a professional information security researcher. I hope to be able to speak in front of a world-class security conference one day.”

Quynh spends eight hours every day working at VNPT’s information security center and uses her evenings to work on her graduation project.

Despite her busy schedule, she aims to pursue a more balanced lifestyle in and outside of work.

“I always try to keep a positive mindset and manage my tasks, while getting enough sleep and having spare time to hang out with friends on weekends.”

Since the process of detecting and fixing vulnerabilities does not yield immediate results, Quynh shared it is important for an information security researcher to persevere.

Choosing Vietnam: All about trusting the data for American entrepreneur

By Harry Hodge

Jon Barrett noted that as Vietnam and Southeast Asia grow, Vietnam is quickly becoming a growth hub as well as a cosmopolitan destination with plenty to offer

As a man whose life revolves around data, everything added up to make Vietnam Jon Barrett’s home base as well as launching his ambitious business venture.

Jon Barrett is co-founder and CEO of Joon Solutions. Therefore, being analytical is his bread and butter. The firm is first and foremost a service company, with a goal to help accelerate Vietnam and global businesses through data and technology services.

“What a lot of companies don’t consider or understand is the idea that Google, AWS, and Microsoft are simply toolmakers,” Mr. Barrett said of his venture. “They make hammers, nails, boards etc. We are the craftsmen that make those tools work for companies.

“Buying a hammer won’t make you a building, hiring a builder will get you any building you want, provided it is a good builder. We are builders of companies, where technology meets business.”

As for how the native of Michigan in the United States arrived in HCMC, it’s the classic tale of finally finding the place you’ve been looking for most of your adult life. A self-professed globetrotter, Mr. Barrett calculated having spent 18 years abroad touring over 36 countries, with the last five in Vietnam as his home base.

“I think the most attractive thing about Vietnam is the people,” he said. Everyone strives for better, has incredible work ethic, very similar to America, and is incredibly welcoming.

“Within my first week living in Vietnam I had broken bread with people that have become lifelong friends. Hospitality is something that Vietnam has in abundance.”

Mutually beneficial relationship

Jon Barrett noted that as Vietnam and Southeast Asia grow, Vietnam is quickly becoming a growth hub as well as a cosmopolitan destination with plenty to offer. And Mr. Barrett believes he has something of his own to offer in return.

“When I think about what I have brought to Vietnam I think about my personal drive to make the world a better place,” he said. “Through my extensive education and experience working with Global 2000 companies, I bring insights and ideas to help the local economy grow and thrive.

“I bring a passion of striving to achieve my goals and inspire everyone around me to do the same. When I engage with a company or even my peers, I think about how I can help them improve their journey and how we can work together to make the world a better place.”

His love for technology coincides with a number of fascinating initiatives afoot in the nation, with the implementation and development of Smart Cities stepping into the spotlight. He foresaw more and more international players making their way to Vietnam and wanted to be in on the ground floor as the impending boom nears.

“Vietnam has shown over the last five years that it is a booming economy and globally competitive,” he said. “Businesses here are motivated to be the best in the world and make a global impact. That matches who I am to my core.”

He also saw his company being instrumental in the coming boom he anticipates for the tech industry in Vietnam.

“We want to develop Vietnam holistically,” he said. “We offer training and education to the younger generation who is interested in technology. We develop global products to create jobs here in Vietnam.

“We provide smart tech solutions to give Vietnamese companies a competitive edge in the global market. We invest in local tech companies to increase their global market share.”

Lifetime of tech in a city of the future

At age 11, Barrett’s father bought him a book on C++ and shortly thereafter he developed his first “app.”

“It was a game called “Pizza Boy,” very similar to Nintendo’s 1980’s hit Paperboy,” he recalled. “My first startup was working with Brian Flynn at Avalon Technologies in Michigan circa 2008 right after university. I then went on to where all techies go, California, to work with Managed Solutions, Teradata, and IBM.

“When I expanded my horizon and set out to experience the world I became an independent company doing freelance tech work as I traveled the globe. Once I found my home here in Vietnam, Joon Solutions was a perfect fit.”

Indeed, a number of exciting initiatives are afoot in HCMC as it moves towards more and more “smart” developments. Problems such as unsustainable economic growth, flooding, traffic congestion and pollution are all being targeted, in addition to improving interaction between the city’s administration, businesses and residents.

Four key sub-projects have been identified, notably: A smart urban operation center; a center for receiving and processing urgent information; a surveillance camera control center; and a database management system under the city’s existing common-use shared data warehouse.

Prominent multinational firms are interested in such technological advances as well, with Japan’s Mitsubishi Corp. and Nomura Real Estate Development joining Vingroup, Vietnam’s biggest conglomerate, on a large urban development project in HCMC’s District 9. Some initiatives in the planned project include a facial recognition system to monitor those entering the area, autonomous buses and other technologies.

Smart cities are being built in many locations across the country, notably Hanoi, HCMC, Danang, Binh Duong, and Nha Trang. The establishment of Thu Duc City, combining districts 2, 9, and Thu Duc, expects to set up a smarter and high-tech location that can attract both international and domestic investment into the area.

Eyes on the prize

With all of these major developments going on, it’s hard not to get excited about what the future holds for players with their fingers on the pulse of data, analytics, tech and associated fields. As cities grow, so do problems like lack of resources, over-population, and infrastructure woes. A smart city uses different technologies to collect data, and the appropriate use of that information is crucial to the project’s success.

There are other areas of interest as well. The increasingly tech-savvy population has an appetite for new forms of commerce including blockchain, and the concept of a cashless society. A survey conducted by global payment technology company VISA revealed 79% of Vietnamese consumers favor a government initiative focused on transforming the country into a cashless society. Southeast Asia is noted as an area of payments innovation thanks to its high rate of wifi connectivity, large swathes of the population who eschew traditional banking and government initiatives focused on transforming countries into cashless societies.

And when it comes to these prospects, Mr. Barrett’s analytics tell him the sky’s the limit for Vietnam as a whole and HCMC in particular.

“We are the first step in making Vietnam the new tech center of Asia, hopefully surpassing Singapore in the coming years,” he said. “With our collaboration and connection to the tech mech of Silicon Valley we want to make Saigon City its twin, Silicon City.”

Indeed, the future looks bright in Vietnam, and fortune favors those bold enough to take the bull by the horns. Being already in place in Vietnam at the time of the global Covid-19 outbreak, Mr. Barrett and others have concluded they’re in the best place in the world in the moment to prepare for the post-pandemic future. And it’s hard not to agree.

Atletico extend La Liga lead after Real slip at Elche

December 31, 2020 by www.vir.com.vn

Suarez struck in the 20th minute with a superb header from Yannick Carrasco’s cross to move Diego Simeone’s Atletico up to 35 points, two ahead of local rivals Madrid after they were pegged back by a Fidel Chaves penalty following Luka Modric’s early opener.

Real Sociedad, Sevilla and Villarreal are all a further seven points back, with Barcelona 10 behind Atletico in sixth after their 1-1 draw with Eibar on Tuesday.

Atletico have also played two fewer matches than reigning champions Madrid after a scrappy win emblematic of Simeone’s reign on his 500th match as club coach.

“When I got on the plane to come here I thought that when I left the club (as a player) that I always wanted to come back,” said Simeone, who is in his 10th year as Atletico coach.

“I found men (Koke, Saul Niguez) who wanted to get the club out of the bad patch it was in, and I have a relationship with them that goes beyond football.”

Uruguay forward Suarez’s eighth goal of the season was a good as it got for Atletico, who despite fielding a strong line-up did not impress in a match of little incident at the Wanda Metropolitano.

However Atletico’s third straight win keeps them top of the pile after a fraught last few days in which Diego Costa was allowed to leave and Kieran Trippier was banned until the end of February for betting breaches.

– ‘Two points dropped’ –

Zinedine Zidane’s Madrid knew that whatever happened in the late fixture they would trail Atletico going into the new year, but they looked on course for a routine win at struggling Elche when Modric opened the scoring in the 20th minute.

Croatian Modric pounced to place a perfect header in the top corner after Marco Asensio’s longe range shot thumped back out off the bar, the second time Madrid had hit the woodwork in the early minutes.

The away side thought they had a penalty nine minutes before the break when referee Jorge Figueroa Vazquez pointed to the spot for what he thought was an Ivan Marcone handball, but the awarding was cancelled following a VAR check.

Elche then got a spot-kick of their own five minutes into the second half when Dani Carvajal was caught tearing at Antonio Barragan’s shirt, with Fidel stepping up to stroke home the leveller.

Lucas Boye then hit the post for the hosts before home keeper Edgar Badia made two superb stops deny Carvajal and Sergio Ramos as Madrid pushed for a win that would have kept them level on points with their capital city rivals.

“When I look at how we played in the first half, I tell myself it’s two points dropped,” said Zidane.

“Plenty of teams will drop points. It’s a hard season, and we still have plenty of matches left.”

– Granada in Euro hunt –

Earlier Granada moved to within two points of the Champions League places after beating Valencia 2-1 in a feisty match where three players were sent off in six second-half minutes.

Jorge Molina’s powerful header two minutes from time keeps Granada in seventh place on 24 points, two behind fourth-placed Sevilla, Sociedad and Villarreal.

Valencia’s seventh league defeat of the season leaves them level on 15 points with Real Valladolid, who are third-from-bottom in the relegation zone.

Javi Gracia’s side haven’t won a La Liga match in their last seven attempts and had their task made harder when Jason and Goncalo Guedes were sent off within three minutes of each other midway through the second half.

Granada’s Domingos Duarte was then shown a straight red card three minutes later after he cynically hacked down Manu Vallejo as he attempted to burst through on goal with the scores still level.

Molina punished the beleaguered away side by thumping home Alberto Soro’s cross.
