Chinese Hackers Infiltrate U.S. Internet Providers in Escalating Cyber Espionage

Journalist

Many opposition leaders posted today on Twitter saying they got this alert message from Apple warning that the government might be tracking their device. This is absolutely shocking if true! 😳😳

Government getting ready for next year elections? Is this the largest democracy we boast about?

Government spying on Opposition?😳

EPFO website compromised. Ministry emails compromised. Govt trying to deny and cover up but data is available on dark web.

Pathetic infosec practices by BJP govt, just horrendous mismanagement one after the other.

Best part is, if any Indian ethical hacker even tries to approach the govt, they mostly just ignore. No bounty for figuring out and exposing vulnerabilities either. 

Clueless shitheads are putting the entire country at risk with their bad practices and lack of recognition and rewards for Indian white hat community.

On Tuesday, a social media user on platform X alleged the leakage of documents from Chinese cyber agencies on GitHub. The user claimed that these documents contained data from the EPFO, the Indian PMO, and various public and private organisations.

- NPD, a fraud prevention company based in Florida, has cooperated with law enforcement and implemented additional security measures to prevent future breaches.
- Affected users are advised to monitor their financial accounts and contact credit reporting agencies to place fraud alerts on their files.
- At least eight lawsuits have been filed against NPD, alleging negligence and breaches of fiduciary duty, with claims that the stolen data was put up for sale on the dark web.

Hackers stole Social Security numbers affecting nearly all Americans

Seems to have troves of sensitive data and scary at that. Wondering how much of our national cyber infra handling sensitive data is at risk from foreign state actors.

User privacy is a joke here. Why on Earth you want to trace all the personal chats of the users? It’s a violation of fundamental rights of the users. Well done by WhatsApp!  Read the full article: http://toi.in/Dp70hY49

So I had an interesting epiphany recently. I have been pondering upon the possibility of UFOs and Aliens, and questions like Are we alone? One thought crossed my mind was what if Alien life is not in the same dimension as we live in? Like we observe the world in a 3d dimension of space and 1d dimension of time, but we have other creatures like Bacteria and viruses who see the world differently than we do. From there perspective the world is likely 2d space. I wondered if alien life exists in 4d or higher dimensions and they observe us as we observe bacteria. Now the possibility the the entire universe is a Simulation is not new for Science. Scientist estimate that there is 20 percent possibility that we live in a Simulation. 

Now I started wondering what would be the consequences of living in a world with higher dimensions let's say a 4d world. How would forces of nature and physics work there. Well I  did some research on the internet and found quite few shocking results. Like Gravity would be very Weak, magnesium will be noble gas, tying a knot would be impossible. A higher dimensional being could meddle with our organs like we can draw dots inside a circle without ever crossing circumference. A higher dimensional being could easily interfere with our world. He can see through our world, he can easily cover huge distance almost instantly. 

Now I thought sounds familiar 🤔. Our mythology is filled with such episodes. Devas can fly as if gravity doesn't impacts them, It was difficult for Yashoda to tie Krishna with a rope knot. Basically god's can appear instantly anywhere in the universe.  There's also a verse in Mahabharat where Shantanu asks Devdut how was his time in the Devlok, to which he replied that God's see the human world differently, and human would to them is like a game of Chausar. (Like a video game or simulation). Also, Hindu religion ofter describes Sansar as Maya or manifestation by God. Nothing is real. Ngl, Goosebumps

Are we living in a Simulation?

Hey everyone,

I am still a student and I am really interested in ethical hacking. But i have no clue about where to start because I don’t have such a person with this interest around me. 

I just wanted to take inputs from a ethical hacker if any here on GV. I just had a few questions 
1. where did you start from ?
2. how much time did it take to be called considerably learned (because i know for a fact that there is tooooo much to learn) ?
3. jobs ?

(This is my first post on GV so excuse me for any mistakes made)

Ethical hacking in India?!

- Users can't upload web pages but can access content that's been archived over time. 
- The organization has faced **Distributed denial-of-service** attacks (DDoS) and a breach of a user authentication database with 31 million unique records. 
- The site is now processing 1,500 requests per second, with data safety being prioritized over service availability.

Aadhar data of 815 million Indians has been compromised

This was a powder keg waiting to explode. Aadhar system was broken from the start as the digital infrastructure was time and again proved vulnerable by multiple experts. Let’s wait and see the impact this has on our future.

This water shortage thing in Bangalore is pretty depressing.

There is an extreme shortage of water but no one on this planet seems serious about it. People are busy making memes around it , poking political parties , blaming the government. The government is blaming other governments and that's it.

Imagine there were 280 lakes in the city now there are only 15. Imagine once Lalbagh and cubbon park were connected and there were elephants living there.

How can a random land mafia dry up the lake and build stupid buildings illegally purely for their profits? They will profit from it but whose resources they took? Nature's resources that were meant for everyone.

That land mafia must be chilling in Atlantis hotel in the rooftop swimming pool and here we are drying up.

In the end , only the one sitting at the top would benefit from it and the one who will suffer is common person and they are still not realising how badly they will suffer in future.

If you don't have water what are you going to drink? 500 2000 notes smoothie? No amount of money can give water. These land mafias and politicians will import fresh water for their families to drink after depleting Indian resources. What are you going to do ?

And then this government brings  CAA law to bring more people to our country where the existing citizens don't have enough resources.

WAKE UP SAVE INDIA FROM POLITICIANS. 

Anyway , this is not a propaganda post against any political party because all parties are at the end corrupted, they will exploit everything to make money and then safeguard their family by sending them in foreign countries. The one who will suffer is us.
