Nomad, a cryptocurrency service, is offering a $200 million "bounty" to hackers who return stolen funds.

Nomad, a cryptocurrency service, is offering a "reward" to anyone who returns funds stolen from the company on Monday in a nearly $200 million heist.

Nomad has stated that it will pay up to 10% of digital funds stolen by hackers and has promised not to sue parties who return at least 90% of the funds.

"The most important aspect of cryptocurrency is the community, and our ultimate goal is to recover users' funds," said Nomad CEO Pranay Mohan in a statement. "To support this effort, we will consider any party that returns 90% or more of the funds exploited to be white hats." White hats will not be prosecuted."

The Nomad attack began on Monday and lasted until Tuesday morning, with hackers draining the virtual budget in a matter of hours. The corporation stated that it has recovered $20 million.

Nomad operates a blockchain bridge, which allows humans to transport tokens from one blockchain to another, thereby resolving the issue of cryptocurrency interoperability. However, those technologically complex offerings were vulnerable to attacks, with hackers exploiting security flaws to steal more than $1 billion in property to date in 2022, according to forensics firm Elliptic.


A security researcher described the Nomad attack on Twitter as "chaotic" and "all against all," with people swarming over empty accounts after discovering a security flaw that allowed them to replace a valid transaction request when they received a valid one. the address of the other person with your own, effectively diverting assets to your own accounts
"Copycats posing as Nomad and providing fraudulent addresses to fundraise," according to Nomad.

The theft follows the Harmony blockchain bridge hack in June, which resulted in a $100 million loss. These bridges are considered particularly vulnerable to attack, in part due to their relative newness and inevitable bugs, and are thus frequently targeted by cybercriminals. The $320 million wormhole hack in February and the $600 million+ Ronin Network hack in March were both recent hacks.


According to Elliptic, bridges are vulnerable to theft because they contain a large amount of cryptocurrency, making them a target for hackers, as well as a lack of decentralization and oversight. Some bridges don't require many signatures to approve a transaction, and some services have made security sacrifices as they've evolved quickly, according to the group.

US's July Jobs Report: Rate Of Employment Grows Up

 US's July Jobs Report: Rate Of Employment Grows Up...




The US labor market is significantly stronger than anticipated.

In July, US employers added about 500,000 jobs, and the % also fell, dispelling concerns that the labor market is about to slow down.



Due to the continued employment of workers by restaurants, bars, and other businesses, the unemployment rate decreased from 3.6 percent in June to 3.5 percent.


The Labor Department's report came in much stronger than anticipated, given that recent data indicated that the US economy was still contracting.


To control soaring prices, the US banking institution is boosting interest rates.


Increased borrowing costs reduce spending and economic activity. High ranking US economic officials have expressed faith that the US labor market will continue to be strong enough to allow the central bank to raise rates without causing a recession.




Janet Yellen, the Treasury Secretary and a former bank governor, stated last week that the economy was transitioning from its robust post-pandemic rebound to a new stable and steady phase of development. However, worries about a persistent lag have grown as consumer confidence declines, the housing market slows, and a few businesses announce job losses or postpone hiring plans.

We’re on a mission to help serious entrepreneurs grow without the chaos



According to Michael Pearce, senior United States of America social scientist for Capital Economics, "the sudden acceleration in non-farm payroll growth in July, along with the additional decline in percentage conjointly with the revived pick-up in wage pressure, create a mockery of claims that the economy is on the verge of recession."


All 22 million jobs that the US lost after the pandemic began in 2020 have now been recovered, according to the Labor Department. A 50-year low, the unemployment rate has also reached its pre-pandemic level. The unemployment rate for Hispanic and Latino employees fell to its lowest level of 3.9 percent in July since records have been kept since 1973.



Product manager Ian Charles was let go a few weeks ago when his fintech company announced a round of layoffs, citing changing investor sentiment as making it more difficult for startups to raise capital.


The 33-year-old was taken aback and initially terrified as he remembered how difficult his job search had been a few years before. "It's a whole different ball game this time," he said.


"People have been dating en masse on LinkedIn, both people I know from grad school, former colleagues, and random recruiters," he explained.



He expressed confidence that he would have a new job within a few weeks.


"At first, I panicked... but after a month, I saw how simple it was to gain traction," he explained. "Opportunities keep coming, which is strange to me because everyone keeps talking about how we're heading for a recession and how things might be slowing down, but I don't see that reflected on the floor."


According to analysts, the Federal Reserve is likely to continue raising interest rates aggressively.


Since March, the bank has raised interest rates four times in response to consumer price increases since 1981. In June, the inflation rate increased to 9.1 percent.

Salaries are rising as well, but not as quickly.


According to the report released on Friday, the average hourly wage increased by 5.2 percent from July 2021 to July 2022.


The jobs report was "uncomfortably hot," according to economist Jason Furman, who advised former President Barack Obama and now teaches at Harvard.



"It's great to see so many jobs added, but it's frightening what it means with the amount of customization we can have," he tweeted. "The recession has become less concerning. Inflation is a bigger concern. The Fed should probably do more."

" SURF Review" - People in the US and Canada are earning money by just browsing the internet.

 SURF - REVIEW

People in the US and Canada are earning money by just browsing the internet.



The details of what each of us sees online is an incredibly valuable resource.


This tracked data helps companies like Google and Facebook generate billions of dollars in advertising revenue each year by using the information to target ads to us.

For example, if you're shopping for a new pair of jeans from online fashion retailers, you should soon see advertisements for jeans elsewhere on your computer screen. We've all seen this happen in relation to anything we've wanted to buy.



The extent to which we are being followed online in this way is somewhat puzzling. According to a recent study, the average European shares data about their internet usage 376 times a day. For US internet users, that number almost doubles to 747,,. But what if you not only had more control over how much of your data was shared, but could also make money from it?


That's the promise of a Canadian tech company called Surf, which released a browser extension of the same name last year. Reward people who surf the web.


It's still in beta or restricted release stages in the US and Canada, and works by bypassing Google like Google does, and selling your data directly to retail brands instead. In return, Surf gives you points that you can save and then redeem for discounts and gift cards.


Companies registered to date include Foot Locker, The Body Shop, Crocs and Dyson.


Surf advises that all data is anonymous: your e-mail addresses and telephone numbers will not be shared, and you do not have to give your name when registering. However, it asks for your age, gender and approximate address, but these are not required. The idea is that brands can use the data provided by Surf to see, for example, which websites are most popular with males aged 18 to 24 in Los Angeles. You can then target your ads accordingly.

Surf hasn't released details on how much people can earn, but says it has enabled users to earn more than $1.2 million (£960,000) combined so far.

Users can also use Browse to limit the data they share, e.g. B. Blocking information about certain websites you visit. One Surf user is Amina Al-Noor, a student at York University in Toronto, Canada, who says she feels the extension gives her back "control" of her online data.


Swish Goswami, Surf's co-founder and CEO, says the company aims to be "the reward for frequent flyers when surfing the web."
He adds: "From day one, we've made it clear to users what we do and don't do, and we also give them the ability to control their data.


"I think if you're honest with people and asking them, knowing you're sharing data with brands, and you're doing it anonymously, which means they can't access it because we don't have their first or last name, then people feel more comfortable to say it "yes" and let us know more.

We’re on a mission to help serious entrepreneurs grow without the chaos



Surf is part of a growing movement that some commentators have dubbed "responsible technology," aimed in part at giving people more control over their data.


Another tech company in this space is Canadian company Waverley, which allows people to compile their own news sources instead of relying on the advertising-based algorithms and trackers of Google News and Apple News.

Fill in topics that interest you with Waverley and its AI software finds articles you think you enjoy reading. The Montreal-based company is the brainchild of founder Philippe Baudouin, who was previously an engineer at Google.

App users can regularly change their preferences and provide feedback on which items are recommended to them.



Mr Baudouin says that users have to make an effort as they have to tell the app things that interest them, but in return they are freed from the 'advertising trap'.


"Responsible technology should empower users, but not be ashamed to ask them to work on their behalf," he says.

"[In turn] our AI reads and indexes thousands of articles [for users] every day."

Abide, Rob Shavell's US company, creates two applications that allow users to increase their privacy: Blur and Delete Me. The former ensures that your passwords and payment details cannot be traced, while the latter removes your personal information from search engines.

Mr. Shavell says he believes web browsing should go hand in hand with “privacy by design”.

Carissa Velez, associate professor at the Institute of Ethics in AI at the University of Oxford, says that technology companies "should be incentivized to develop business models that do not rely on the use of personal data".

"It is worrying that most of the algorithms that govern our lives are produced by private companies without oversight or guidance to ensure that these algorithms support our public goods and values," it adds.


"I don't think transparency is a panacea or even half the solution, but legislators in particular should have access to algorithms."

Google highlights its new "Privacy Sandbox" initiative, which "aims to introduce new, more private advertising solutions."

A Google spokesperson says: "That's why we're working with regulators and the web community to develop technologies through the privacy sandbox that protect people's privacy online while helping to keep content and services safer." '


'Later year, we will launch My Ad Center, which will expand our privacy controls to give people more direct control over the information used to show them ads.

भारत में 5जी लॉन्च:

भारत में 5जी लॉन्च

भारत में 5G की लॉन्चिंग के बारे में उद्योग विश्लेषक और विशेषज्ञ यहां क्या कह रहे हैं।



भारत में 5G का प्रभाव उपभोक्ता-केंद्रित मोबाइल ब्रॉडबैंड क्षेत्र से कहीं आगे तक जाएगा। जैसा कि अतिरिक्त व्यावसायिक उपयोग के मामलों को अपनाया जाता है, 5G का प्रभाव काफी अधिक गहरा होगा। भारत के कंट्री हेड और मावेनिर में भारत और दक्षिण एशिया के क्षेत्रीय उपाध्यक्ष संजय बकाया के अनुसार, यह डिजिटल परिवर्तन को गति देगा और सभी उद्योग कार्यक्षेत्रों, उनकी व्यावसायिक प्रक्रियाओं और उनके लक्ष्यों पर पर्याप्त प्रभाव डालेगा।
अगली पीढ़ी की नेटवर्क तकनीक, या 5G, पूरी तरह से बदल देगी कि मनुष्य और मशीनें कैसे जुड़ती हैं। हालांकि, 5G के साथ हाई-बैंडविड्थ और लो-लेटेंसी नेटवर्क को समायोजित करने के लिए भारतीय दूरसंचार पारिस्थितिकी तंत्र और बुनियादी ढांचे में काफी बदलाव करने की आवश्यकता होगी। TelecomTalk ने उद्योग विश्लेषकों और पेशेवरों से 5G पर उनकी राय जानने के लिए संपर्क किया और भारत को अगली पीढ़ी के नेटवर्क रोलआउट की सफलता का आश्वासन देने के लिए क्या करने की आवश्यकता है क्योंकि 5G स्पेक्ट्रम नीलामी इतनी जल्दी है (26जुलाई के लिए निर्धारित)।


उन्होंने निम्नलिखित बताया।

मीडियाटेक इंडिया के प्रबंध निदेशक, अंकू जैन:-



5जी स्पेक्ट्रम की नीलामी ऐसे समय में हो रही है जब 5जी क्षमता वाले स्मार्टफोन की बिक्री 51% से अधिक हो गई है, जो 4जी वाले हैंडसेट की बिक्री से अधिक है। 5जी स्मार्टफोन का वर्तमान विस्तार उच्च स्तरीय सुविधाओं के साथ उच्च प्रदर्शन वाले उपकरणों की इच्छा से प्रेरित है, विशेष रूप से कैमरा, डिस्प्ले, मेमोरी, बैटरी और गेमिंग क्षमताओं में।

5G के लिए सबसे आशाजनक बाजारों में से एक भारत है। युवाओं को उम्मीद है कि उनके 5जी स्मार्टफोन में शीर्ष स्तरीय सीपीयू तकनीकें होंगी जो संसाधनों का अनुकूलन कर सकती हैं और उचित कीमत के साथ उनकी स्ट्रीमिंग, गेमिंग, सहयोग और फोटोग्राफी की जरूरतों को पूरा करने के लिए अधिकतम क्षमताएं प्रदान कर सकती हैं।



मीडियाटेक की नवीनतम डाइमेंशन 5जी चिपसेट सीरीज की बदौलत भारत 5जी का अनुभव अधिक तेजी से करेगा। मीडियाटेक डाइमेंशन 9000 और 9000+ जैसे नए प्रोसेसर से बाजार में सबसे अत्याधुनिक 4एनएम प्रोसेसर और मीडियाटेक की विशेष तकनीकों जैसे मीडियाटेक हाइपरइंजिन 5.0 का उपयोग गेमिंग के लिए भारत के डिजिटल परिवर्तन में तेजी लाने की उम्मीद है।


एसपी कोचर, सीओएआई के महानिदेशक (सेलुलर ऑपरेटर्स एसोसिएशन ऑफ इंडिया)



पिछले दो वर्षों में, एक मजबूत दूरसंचार बुनियादी ढांचे ने देश को चुनौतीपूर्ण समय से गुजरने में मदद की है। 5G के वाणिज्यिक रोल-आउट की तैयारी में, निजी दूरसंचार ऑपरेटरों द्वारा 5G सेवाओं को शुरू करने के लिए 26 जुलाई को होने वाली स्पेक्ट्रम नीलामी एक सकारात्मक कदम है जो उद्योग के दीर्घकालिक लक्ष्यों को पूरा करेगा। पीएलआई योजना के तहत डिजाइन आधारित विनिर्माण को बढ़ावा देने के लिए यूनिवर्सल सर्विस ऑब्लिगेशन फंड (यूएसओ) का 5% आवंटित करने के सरकार के फैसले के परिणामस्वरूप राष्ट्र में 5जी मोबाइल सेवाओं को तेज करने का अनुमान है।

5जी को मजबूत करने और 2025 तक हर गांव में ऑप्टिकल फाइबर स्थापित करने का इरादा रखते हुए, पीएलआई परियोजना भारत को विश्व स्तर पर प्रतिस्पर्धी विनिर्माण पावरहाउस के रूप में बढ़ावा देगी और दूरसंचार क्षेत्र में नए निवेश को और प्रोत्साहित करेगी। 5जी प्रौद्योगिकी के निर्बाध कार्यान्वयन को प्राप्त करने के लिए, जो नवाचार की एक और लहर को आगे बढ़ाएगा, राज्यों में एक समान आरओडब्ल्यू शुल्क लागू किया जाना चाहिए, और एलएफ, एसयूसी और यूएसओ जैसे नियामक शुल्कों को युक्तिसंगत बनाया जाना चाहिए।

कनेक्टिविटी और 5जी इंटरनेट के ऐसे अभूतपूर्व स्तरों के साथ, भारत भविष्य के स्मार्ट शहरों का निर्माण करते हुए ग्रामीण क्षेत्रों में शिक्षा, स्वास्थ्य देखभाल, कृषि और अन्य क्षेत्रों को बदलने में सक्षम होगा, जो 5जी भारत के सभी लक्षण हैं। 5जी डिजिटल इंडिया के सपने को साकार करने में एक प्रमुख ।

घटक बनने जा रहा है। हम अनुमान लगाते हैं कि 2023 और 2040 के बीच 5जी तकनीक भारतीय अर्थव्यवस्था में लगभग 450 अरब डॉलर का योगदान देगी। (2040 तक सकल घरेलू उत्पाद का 0.6 प्रतिशत)। डिजिटल कनेक्शन के दृष्टिकोण से और भारत सरकार की देश को पूरी तरह से डिजिटाइज़ करने की आकांक्षाओं के लिए, 5G आवश्यक है।


काउंटरपॉइंट रिसर्च के रिसर्च एनालिस्ट चारू पालीवाल



अपेक्षित रोलआउट शेड्यूल और 5G स्मार्टफोन की एक्सेसिबिलिटी:

5G नेटवर्क के रोलआउट के पहले दो से तीन वर्षों के लिए, हम अनुमान लगाते हैं कि टेलीकॉम ऑपरेटर्स 3.5 GHz स्पेक्ट्रम पर ध्यान केंद्रित करना जारी रखेंगे क्योंकि यह अपेक्षाकृत सस्ता है और बाजार में उपकरणों की पर्याप्त आपूर्ति है। यह स्पेक्ट्रम बैंड पिछले दो वर्षों के दौरान भारत में पेश किए गए लगभग सभी मिड-रेंज से लेकर प्रीमियम स्मार्टफोन तक समर्थित है। इस साल, हम एंट्री-लेवल मार्केट में 5G स्मार्टफोन डेब्यू की संख्या में बढ़ोतरी की उम्मीद कर रहे हैं।


अन्य व्यय जो वाहक 5G स्पेक्ट्रम की खरीद के बाहर करने की योजना बना रहे हैं:

स्पेक्ट्रम के अलावा, महत्वपूर्ण निवेश क्षेत्रों में फाइबर इन्फ्रास्ट्रक्चर और नए मोबाइल टावरों का निर्माण, विशेष रूप से छोटे सेल शामिल हैं। इसके अतिरिक्त, उपकरणों के निर्माण, भारत के अनुरूप 5G उपयोग के मामलों और उद्यम अनुप्रयोगों के निर्माण, बढ़त डेटा केंद्रों की एक विस्तृत संख्या की स्थापना, और निश्चित रूप से, नेटवर्क के कार्यान्वयन सहित पूरे पारिस्थितिकी तंत्र में निवेश आवश्यक होगा। आधारभूत संरचना।


5G को सफलतापूर्वक अपनाने के लिए जिन मुद्दों/चुनौतियों को शीघ्रता से हल किया जाना चाहिए:

RAN, कोर और ट्रांसमिशन सहित कई क्षेत्रों में उन्नयन की आवश्यकता है। 5जी सेवाओं के प्रभावी रोलआउट के लिए, देश में फाइबरयुक्त टावरों का प्रतिशत मौजूदा 34% से लगभग 70% तक बढ़ने की आवश्यकता है। एक अन्य तत्व जो 5G रोलआउट की कठिनाइयों को बढ़ाता है, वह है अविकसित घरेलू हार्डवेयर निर्माण उद्योग। घरेलू विनिर्माण के समर्थन में सरकार की सख्ती से लागू की गई नीतियों को पारिस्थितिकी तंत्र पर प्रभाव डालने में समय लगेगा।

अन्य बाजार कारकों से गोद लेने में बाधा आ सकती है, जैसे कि एक औद्योगिक सेटिंग में एक मजबूत 5G डिवाइस पारिस्थितिकी तंत्र की अनुपस्थिति। पहले से ही सुलभ सस्ती उपकरणों की एक विस्तृत विविधता के साथ, एलटीई डिवाइस पारिस्थितिकी तंत्र की एक ठोस नींव है। हालाँकि, 5G उपकरणों की व्यापक तैनाती महंगी हो सकती है क्योंकि औद्योगिक उपकरण बाजार में आसानी से उपलब्ध नहीं हो सकते हैं, जिससे डिवाइस की कीमत कम हो जाती है। इसके अतिरिक्त, भारत पर केंद्रित उपयोग के मामले बनाना महत्वपूर्ण है क्योंकि 5G तकनीक केवल उपभोक्ता की जरूरतों को पूरा करने से परे है।


संजय बकाया भारत के लिए मावेनिर के कंट्री हेड और दक्षिण एशिया के क्षेत्रीय उपाध्यक्ष हैं।

भारत में 5G का प्रभाव उपभोक्ता-केंद्रित मोबाइल ब्रॉडबैंड क्षेत्र से कहीं आगे तक जाएगा। जैसा कि अतिरिक्त व्यावसायिक उपयोग के मामलों को अपनाया जाता है, 5G का प्रभाव काफी अधिक गहरा होगा। यह डिजिटल परिवर्तन को गति देगा और सभी उद्योग क्षेत्रों की व्यावसायिक प्रक्रियाओं और उद्देश्यों पर बड़ा प्रभाव डालेगा। प्रौद्योगिकी प्रगति को नियमित गतिविधियों में एकीकृत करके, 5G उद्योगों में एक स्थायी आर्थिक मॉडल के विकास में सहायता करने में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाएगा। इससे न केवल लोगों के जीवन स्तर में सुधार होगा बल्कि भारत के आर्थिक विकास में भी तेजी आएगी
