    Khalistani attack: Delhi Police remove extra barricades outside British High Commission

    New Delhi; Delhi Police have removed barricades “that created hurdles” for commuters outside the British High Commission here but the security of the diplomatic mission remains intact, officials said on Wednesday.

    The move by Delhi Police has come days after the Indian tricolour at the country’s High Commission in London was pulled down by pro-Khalistan activists.

    “The security arrangements outside the British High Commission here are intact. However, barricades placed on the pathway towards the commission that created hurdles for commuters have been removed,” a senior police officer told PTI.

    When contacted, a spokesperson for the British High Commission said, “We do not comment on security matters.”

    India on Sunday night summoned the British deputy high commissioner and demanded an explanation over the complete “absence of security” after videos of pulling down of the Indian flag at the Indian mission in London during a protest by pro-Khalistan elements emerged on social media.

    Top British officials have said the UK government will take the security of the Indian High Commission “seriously”, as they condemned as “disgraceful” and “completely unacceptable” the vandalism at the Indian mission by a group of protesters waving separatist Khalistani flags.

  • Ferrari notifies customers of potential data exposure in ransomware attack

    Ferrari notifies customers of potential data exposure in ransomware attack

    [ad_1]

    Italian luxury sports car maker Ferrari has revealed that it received a ransom demand related to customer contact details that may have been compromised in a ransomware attack. In a statement released on March 20, Ferrari said that it immediately began an investigation in collaboration with a leading cybersecurity firm upon receipt of the ransom demand. It also informed the relevant authorities and expressed confidence that they would investigate the incident to the fullest extent of the law.

    While Ferrari did not specify when the attack occurred, it may be related to reports of a ransomware attack in October 2022, when the RansomEXX group claimed to have stolen and leaked 7 GB of data from Ferrari. The car maker denied the claims at the time.

    “As a policy, Ferrari will not be held to ransom as paying such demands funds criminal activity and enables threat actors to perpetuate their attacks,” Ferrari stated. “Instead, we believed the best course of action was to inform our clients and thus we have notified our customers of the potential data exposure and the nature of the incident.”

    The company has contacted its customers via email, informing them that the exposed information includes their name, address, email address, and phone number. Ferrari has not found any evidence that financial information or details on owned or ordered cars have been compromised.

    With one of the most expensive car lineups in the world, a contact list of wealthy customers is very attractive to cybercriminals. They could use the information to customize malicious, targeted emails.

    Ferrari has confirmed that the breach has not affected the operational functions of the company and that it has worked with “third-party experts” to strengthen its system security. The company has not mentioned RansomEXX in its statement, but the ransomware gang has been linked to several other attacks, including those on logistics giant Hellmann Worldwide, software and services firm Tyler Technologies, and others.

    Ferrari’s stance on not paying ransoms is in line with industry best practices, which discourage organizations from funding cybercriminals. However, this can lead to the exposure of sensitive information, which can be damaging to a company’s reputation and lead to potential legal repercussions. As such, it is essential that organizations take steps to secure their systems and protect their data from cyber threats.

  • India lodges protest with US over attack on San Francisco consulate

    India lodges protest with US over attack on San Francisco consulate

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: India on Monday lodged a strong protest with the US on the attack on its Consulate General in San Francisco.

    Summoning the US Charge d’Affaires here, it conveyed its strong protest at the vandalisation of the property.

    “The US Government was reminded of its basic obligation to protect and secure diplomatic representation. It was asked to take appropriate measures to prevent the recurrence of such incidents,” the MEA said in a statement.

    The MEA said that the Embassy in Washington D.C. also conveyed concerns to the US State Department along similar lines.

    After the London incident where the tricolour was removed from the Indian High Commission building, videos of a mob attacking the Indian consulate in the California city have surfaced.

    As per reports, with loud music playing in the background, a large mob is seen in the video, attacking the Indian consulate, spray-painting a huge graffiti on its outer wall, saying “Free Amritpal”.

    In fact according to reports, several videos, apparently filmed by the miscreants themselves, showed men breaking glass doors and windows of the consulate building with butts of Khalistani flags.

    Employees of the consulate were later seen removing the flags in the videos, when suddenly a mob can seen breaking through a barricade from behind which they were shouting slogans. The employees can be seen running inside the building with the protestors trying to follow them.

    Videos further showed that after doors of the consulate were slammed shut on their faces, the protestors starting hitting them with flags, while one of them smashed the windows of the building with a sword.

    Iran sentences two people to death over Shiraz shrine attack, killing 15 people

    Tehran: The Iranian court has sentenced two people to death in connection with an attack on a shrine in the southern city of Shiraz in October 2022, which claimed the lives of at least 15 people injuring 40 others.

    The two men had been found guilty of charges including “spreading corruption on earth” and acting against national security, said the head of the judiciary in Fars province Kazem Mousavi, according to Mizan News.

    Mohammad Ramiz Rashidi and Sayed Naeem Hashim Qatali, who received the death sentence, were “directly involved in arming, supplying, and directing the main perpetrator of the terrorist attack” on the shrine of Shah-e-Cherag on October 26, 2022.

    Three other defendants in the case were sentenced to 5, 15, and 25 years in prison for being members of ISIS.

    Earlier, the main perpetrator of the attack Hamid Badakhshan, died of the injuries sustained during the arrest.

    The armed attack on the Shah-e-Cherag shrine came as the Islamic Republic was rocked by unrest that erupted after the September 16 killing of Mahsa Amini in the custody of the country’s morality police.

  • Early wickets allowed Australia to attack India more: Starc

    Early wickets allowed Australia to attack India more: Starc

    [ad_1]

    Visakhapatnam: Australian pacer and ‘Man of the Match’ Mitchell Starc said the early inroads he made into the Indian batting lineup during powerplay made his bowling partners attack with more intent, resulting in the hosts being bundled out for 117 in just 26 overs during the second ODI here on Sunday.

    India suffered one of their worst ODI defeats against Australia with the visitors winning the match by 10 wickets to level the series 1-1 after Starc had wiped out the entire top order in powerplay. The left-arm pacer grabbed four wickets in powerplay overs and returned figures of 5/53 for the match as Australia levelled the series 1-1.

    “Look, it was a complete bowling performance from us, the fact that we took powerplay wickets allowed us to attack even more throughout the innings,” said Starc, who took his ninth five-for in ODIs.

    He said the attacking intent while batting was also because India had been bundled out for a below-par total. Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head minted fours and sixes during the 121-run unbeaten partnership as Australia finished the job in just 11 overs.

    “With a lower total to chase, we could be aggressive in the powerplay and Mitch (Marsh) and Trav (Travis Head) came off really well with the bat,” he said.

    Starc likened the pitch at the YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Stadium here to Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, where Australia were bowled out for 188 on a seaming wicket and India too lost wickets in cluster at the top before winning by five wickets.

    “It was similar to Mumbai in the fact that there was no scoreboard pressure on the chasing team at any stage,” Starc added.

    Starc exposed the Indian batters’ frailties against quality left-arm pace bowling by swinging the ball into them. Suryakumar Yadav was sent back by the lanky quick for a second successive first-ball duck.

    Asked if he had a plan for Surya, Starc said, “I cannot say if I have thought it that way (as to) who is the batter at the other end. For me, the plan does not change if it is a left-hander or a right-hander, I am still trying to bowl fast and swing it and hit the stumps,” he said.

    Starc said there were no specific plans against the Indian right-handers. “My plan has not changed for 13 years, which is to bowl full at the stumps and try to swing it in. I think that has just been my role to try and take wickets upfront in the powerplay and that means that I tend to bowl fuller lengths than some other guys like Cameron Green or Pat (Cummins) or Josh (Hazlewood),” he said.

    “At times that means I am more expensive but I am trying for a dismissal, so certainly (did) not (have) a new game plan in the last two games. It is something that I have done for a long time, be aggressive and take wickets and, today, our whole bowling attack did that, when we had six wickets in the powerplay.

    “That is a big step forward in one-day cricket, when you have a powerhouse batting unit like India have. If you can take wickets in the powerplay that means you can control the game to some respect,” Starc added.

    The Australian pace spearhead said the side was focused on winning the series in in Chennai and it was not too much obsessed with ODI World Cup preparations right now.

    “A few of us have been here to get accustomed to conditions. With one eye on the World Cup in particular conditions and against India, that is one by-product of the series,” he said.

    “This is still (an ongoing) series against India, which we want to win. We move to Chennai for the decider which is exciting. Once we are past that game there will be more focus on the World Cup. (There are) parts of the series with the World Cup on your mind but predominantly for this group, there is a chance to win a one-day in India which is pretty special,” he concluded.

  • Delhi Assembly: BJP to bring no-confidence motion against Kejriwal, AAP to attack Centre, LG

    Delhi Assembly: BJP to bring no-confidence motion against Kejriwal, AAP to attack Centre, LG

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: The budget session of the Delhi Assembly, starting Friday, is likely to witness heated exchanges between the treasury and opposition benches, with the ruling AAP targeting LG V K Saxena and the Centre over the arrest of Manish Sisodia and the BJP bringing a no-confidence motion against the Arvind Kejriwal government.

    The session will start with an address by the lieutenant governor (LG) and the budget will be presented on March 21, officials said.

    A senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader said that the session will have discussions on the arrest of former deputy chief minister Sisodia and how the lieutenant governor was interfering in the works of the elected government.

    “The party will also raise the issue of the LG being involved in an incident with noted social activist Medha Patkar in 2002. We will also raise the issue of misuse of CBI and ED by the BJP-ruled Centre and the LG’s interference in government functioning,” he said.

    Another senior functionary of the AAP said, “The misuse of CBI and ED by the Centre is the biggest issue. The world’s best education minister, Manish Sisodia, has been put behind bars in a false case. This is the biggest issue of Delhi.”

    Leader of Opposition in the Assembly Ramvir Singh Bidhuri said in a statement that the BJP will bring a no-confidence motion against the Arvind Kejriwal government over its involvement in “corruption”.

    The BJP MLAs, in a joint statement, said that they will corner the Kejriwal government as its two ministers were behind bars and it was facing allegations of “scams” involving liquor policy, classroom construction, electricity subsidy, and snooping by its Feedback Unit.

    “In such a situation, this government has no moral or constitutional right to be in office and a no-confidence motion is being brought against the government,” it said.

    Bidhuri said the budget session has been called only for five days, out of which the provision of question hour has been kept only on two days.

    “This is like attacking the rights of the legislators and this government is continuously robbing the rights of the legislators,” he alleged.

    The BJP will demand that the session be extended by at least 10 days, he said.

    The BJP MLAs have given notices to discuss the serious problems of Delhi in the Assembly and they want that all issues should be discussed so that the truth can come before the public, he said.

    Issues such as corruption, air pollution, drinking water crisis, collapse of the transport system, non-opening of new schools and colleges, lack of teachers, irregularities in mohalla clinics, and the Yamuna pollution will be raised by the opposition MLAs, he said.

    Delhi minister Saurabh Bharadwaj said the session will focus on making Delhi a modern, clean and development-oriented city.

    “There will be more focus on providing funds for sanitation, cleaning garbage mountains, making world class infrastructure in Delhi, making it development oriented in terms of good transport, making well connected network and bringing more electric buses.”

    The annual budget for 2023-24 will be presented by Kailash Gahlot who assumed the charge as finance minister after the arrest of Sisodia by the CBI in connection with an alleged liquor policy scam.
