0

Your privacy is now worth only $450 (about ₹38,600) on the internet. Hacking groups on the dark web are openly selling hacked Instagram, WhatsApp, and email accounts. These hackers use Telegram to promote their illegal business and attract people.

Hackers Demanding Money for Hacked Accounts

Recently, a woman from Ahmedabad lost access to her Instagram account. The hackers demanded ₹2 lakh from her. However, when she reported the case to cybercrime police, the hackers backed off.

A senior police officer said that many such hacking services are available on the dark web. These services allow criminals to hack any account or device. In an earlier case, foreign hackers used Telegram training to hack a hospital’s CCTV system in Rajkot.

How Much Do Hackers Sell Your Data For?

Cybersecurity experts explain that these hacker groups take advantage of social media security weaknesses. They often use phishing to steal passwords and sell accounts.

A group named “Hacking Squad” claims to be professional hackers. They offer hacking services for:

  • Instagram & Snapchat accounts
  • Websites
  • School & college databases

Their pricing starts at $450, making hacking affordable for many criminals.

How to Stay Safe?

Cyber-attacks are increasing, especially targeting influencers and business accounts. To protect yourself:

Use strong passwords and update them regularly.
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for extra security.
Avoid clicking on unknown links or suspicious messages.
✔ If your account is hacked, contact cybercrime police immediately.

Authorities are working to stop illegal activities on the dark web, but you must stay alert and protect your online accounts.

Twitter’s Blue Bird Logo Sold in Auction – Check the Price

0

For a long time, Twitter was recognized by its blue bird logo. However, after Elon Musk took over the platform, several changes were made. The biggest change was renaming Twitter to “X”. Now, the iconic blue bird logo that once stood at Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters has been sold in an auction.

How Much Did the Blue Bird Logo Sell For?

The blue bird logo was auctioned for $34,375 (around ₹30 lakh). The auction company confirmed this news. The logo, which weighs 254 kg and measures 12 feet in length and 9 feet in width, was sold to an undisclosed buyer.

Other Items Sold in the Auction

The auction included several rare and valuable items, such as:

  • Apple-1 computer – Sold for $375,000 (₹3.22 crore)
  • Apple check signed by Steve Jobs – Sold for $112,054 (₹96.3 lakh)
  • First-generation sealed 4GB iPhone – Sold for $87,514 (₹73.5 lakh)

Even though the blue bird logo is no longer part of X (formerly Twitter), it still holds strong brand recognition, just like Apple or Nike logos.

Elon Musk’s Twitter Takeover

In 2022, Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion (₹3,368 billion). At that time, he stated that free speech is essential for democracy and promised to make Twitter the best platform with new features and improvements.

Future of “X”

With Donald Trump’s return to power in the US and advertisers coming back, X is expected to see financial improvements in the coming days. This also brings relief to banks that loaned $13 billion for Musk’s acquisition.

IPL 2025: List of Injured Players, Big Blow for Many Teams

0

The number of injured players in IPL 2025 is increasing, and many teams are struggling with fitness issues. Recently, Harry Brook from Delhi Capitals withdrew from the tournament, making things difficult for the team.

One of the most successful teams in IPL history, Mumbai Indians, also suffered setbacks. South Africa’s Lizaad Williams and Afghanistan’s Allah Ghazanfar are ruled out of the tournament. There are still concerns over Jasprit Bumrah’s fitness. As replacements, Mumbai Indians have signed Mujeeb Ur Rahman from Afghanistan and Corbin Bosch from South Africa.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Lose Brydon Carse

Last season’s runners-up, Sunrisers Hyderabad, led by Pat Cummins, had picked England’s bowling all-rounder Brydon Carse in the mega auction. However, Carse is ruled out for the entire season due to injury. As his replacement, Hyderabad has brought in South Africa’s Wiaan Mulder.

Umran Malik’s Injury a Big Setback for KKR

Defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) signed Umran Malik with high expectations in the auction. But now, his injury has created problems for the team. As a replacement, KKR has added Chetan Sakariya to their squad.

Other Injury Concerns in IPL 2025

  • Sanju Samson, the regular captain of Rajasthan Royals, will miss the first three matches due to injury. In his absence, Riyan Parag will lead the team.
  • Jasprit Bumrah might miss the opening matches for Mumbai Indians due to fitness issues.

With so many injuries affecting key players, teams will have to adjust their strategies to perform well in IPL 2025.

Morgan Stanley Layoff: 2,000 Employees to Lose Jobs Due to AI and Economic Changes

0

Morgan Stanley, one of the world’s biggest banking companies, is planning to lay off 2,000 employees this month. The company has a total of 80,000 employees, and this will be the first major layoff under the leadership of new CEO Ted Pick, who took charge in January 2024.

Why Is Morgan Stanley Laying Off Employees?

According to a Bloomberg report, the layoff will affect different divisions of the company. However, the company’s 15,000 financial advisors will not be affected.

The main reason for this layoff is cost-cutting. The employee turnover rate has been low, which means fewer people are leaving the company on their own. To manage expenses, Morgan Stanley is reducing its workforce.

Some employees will lose their jobs due to performance issues, while others will be replaced by AI and automation. Experts believe that in the coming years, more jobs will be lost due to AI.

Additionally, some experts link these layoffs to Donald Trump’s tariff policies. They believe that policy changes under his leadership affected many of Morgan Stanley’s clients, which might have contributed to the decision to reduce staff.

The Growing Impact of AI

Morgan Stanley is not the only bank reducing jobs because of AI. According to a Bloomberg Intelligence report, Chief Information Officers (CIOs) and Chief Technology Officers (CTOs) of 93 major banks, including JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs, have admitted that in the next 3 to 5 years, 3% of jobs in their banks could be lost due to AI.

This means that 200,000 jobs on Wall Street are at risk.

Morgan Stanley has already introduced several AI tools for its employees:

  • In September 2023, the bank launched an AI Knowledge Assistant Tool to help financial advisors find research data quickly.
  • In June 2024, another AI tool was introduced to take notes during video meetings and suggest action items for clients.

CEO Ted Pick told investors in June that these AI tools could save employees 10 to 15 hours per week, making their work more efficient. He called AI a “game-changer” for the industry.

Why Layoffs Despite Record Revenue?

Morgan Stanley reported a record revenue of $61.8 billion in 2024, up from $54.1 billion in 2023. Despite this, the company is cutting jobs.

There are two main reasons for this:

  1. AI and Automation – These technologies are reducing the need for human employees.
  2. Economic Uncertainty – Many Wall Street banks are downsizing due to financial instability.

Even Goldman Sachs, a key competitor of Morgan Stanley, is planning to lay off 3-5% of its 46,500 employees in the coming months.

These layoffs highlight a major shift in the banking industry, where technology is replacing human workers at an increasing rate. 🚨

Ceasefire Announcement Soon? Trump Trying to Convince Putin

0

The Russia-Ukraine war may soon see a ceasefire, as former U.S. President Donald Trump is actively working to stop the conflict. Reports suggest that Trump may soon speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin over the phone.

U.S. in Talks with Ukraine and Russia

Steve Witkoff, a special envoy from the White House, said on Sunday that the U.S. is also in continuous talks with Ukraine. Earlier, the U.S. proposed a 30-day ceasefire to both nations. Ukraine has accepted the proposal, but Russia has not yet agreed.

What Did Steve Witkoff Say?

Speaking on CNN’s “State of the Union”, Witkoff stated:
“I hope the two presidents will have a phone call this week. We are also in constant talks with Ukraine.”

Meanwhile, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed on Friday that Putin had sent a message to Trump through Witkoff before the possible phone call. Last week, Witkoff also met with Putin in Moscow.

Putin Ready to Meet Trump

Witkoff described his talks with Putin as positive, saying it was a solution-focused discussion.

According to Witkoff, Putin is willing to meet Trump, and both leaders want to end the war. He also mentioned that Trump is hopeful that an agreement could be reached soon.

Russia’s Conditions for Ceasefire

Ukraine wants assurances that if Russia attacks again, the U.S. and its allies will protect it. However, the White House is hesitant to make a firm commitment.

On the other hand, Russia has made it clear that it does not want a temporary ceasefire under any circumstances.

IPL 2025: Why is Mumbai Indians Captain Hardik Pandya Banned? Will Miss First Match

0

Mumbai Indians (MI) will face a tough start in IPL 2025. Star bowler Jasprit Bumrah might miss a few matches due to injury, and captain Hardik Pandya is banned for the first match. Mumbai Indians will play their first match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on March 23 at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium.

You might be wondering why Hardik Pandya is banned even before IPL starts. Let’s find out.

Hardik Pandya’s IPL Journey

Hardik Pandya started his IPL career in 2015 with Mumbai Indians and played for them until 2021. In 2022, he joined Gujarat Titans (GT) as captain and led them to their first IPL title. In 2023, he guided Gujarat to the final, but they lost to Chennai Super Kings.

After two successful seasons with GT, Hardik returned to Mumbai Indians in November 2023 and became the team’s captain for IPL 2024.

Why is Hardik Pandya Banned for the First Match?

During IPL 2024, Mumbai Indians were penalized three times for slow over-rate under Hardik Pandya’s captaincy.

  • First Offense – Hardik was fined ₹12 lakh.
  • Second Offense – Hardik and the other players were fined ₹12 lakh each.
  • Third Offense – Hardik was fined ₹30 lakh and given a one-match ban. The other players were also fined.

Mumbai received their third slow over-rate penalty in a match against Lucknow Super Giants during IPL 2024. Because of this, Hardik is now suspended for the first match of IPL 2025.

When Will Hardik Pandya Return?

Since it is only a one-match ban, Hardik will be back in the squad after the first game and will lead Mumbai Indians in the rest of the season.

CM Yogi Adityanath Hints at His Future in Politics

0

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is often seen as a strong leader in Indian politics. Many people believe that after Prime Minister Narendra Modi, CM Yogi could be the next big leader of the BJP. Now, CM Yogi himself has responded to these speculations and talked about his future plans.

What Did CM Yogi Say About 2027 Elections?

Speaking at an India Today event, CM Yogi was asked about the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly Elections. He confidently said:

🗣️ “In 2027, the fight will be 80-20. BJP and its allies will have 80%, and the remaining parties will be in the 20%. The results will be the same, and we are working towards that goal.”

Does CM Yogi Want to Go to Delhi?

When asked if he sees himself as PM Modi’s successor, CM Yogi dismissed the idea. He made it clear that he is not interested in Delhi politics but would rather go back to Gorakhpur, where he has been a spiritual and political leader for many years.

🗣️ “I am not anyone’s successor. I am a Yogi, and I want to continue serving the people. My responsibility is to serve Uttar Pradesh, and I am fully committed to that. I would be happier if I get the chance to return to Gorakhpur and continue my spiritual journey.”

CM Yogi’s View on Aurangzeb Controversy

During the discussion, CM Yogi also commented on the Aurangzeb controversy. He criticized people who see Aurangzeb as a hero.

🗣️ “If someone considers Aurangzeb as their idol, it shows a mental disorder. Even a civilized person would not name their child Aurangzeb. He imprisoned his own father, Shah Jahan. Even Shah Jahan himself said that no one should have a son like him. Uttar Pradesh is the best place to cure such a mindset. Come here, and we will treat you well.”

CM Yogi’s statements make it clear that he is focused on Uttar Pradesh politics and has no plans to move to Delhi. He sees himself as a servant of the people and a Yogi first. 🚩
