Has anyone experienced discriminatory gate personnel @Ryanair in Dublin ? I with my family just did and it was shocking. The tone of address and the mishandling of procedure and threatening behavior. Unacceptable for any passenger. First bad experience in Dublin

EXCLUSIVE: India’s biggest news publishers including Ambani's Network18, Adani's NDTV, Indian Express, Times Internet & others mount the most high-profile challenge yet to Modi’s privacy law, warning it would “render investigative journalism a benign and neutered recorder of events.”
DNPA (@publishers_news) has taken the law to the Supreme Court. They argue it would trample investigative work and let New Delhi identify journalists’ sources.
The provisions “constitute pre-censorship which is anathema to any democracy worth its name,” the group’s 698-page filing says.
The key concerns:
🔹 Consent: requiring a journalist to notify the subject of an investigation and seek consent “would allow that subject to destroy evidence, intimidate witnesses”
🔹 Erasure: people can withdraw consent and demand their data be erased, which the group says could force publishers to unpublish or heavily redact news reports
🔹 Sources: a “nakedly unguided” power to demand information that “can extend to privileged communications in possession of a reporter or the informant”
In a letter to the government, the group said India “has chosen to grant broad exemptions to the state, while failing to extend any corresponding protection to the press.”

If Prasar Bharati can spend ₹15 crore a year on a DD News show featuring a star anchor, while the ISRO Chairman’s basic pay is about ₹27 lakh a year, shouldn’t we rethink our priorities? If India wants to conquer space and attract our finest scientific minds, our rewards must match our ambitions.

India news: Central Bank of India lost ₹13.96 crore in 187 unauthorised RTGS transfers to 36 banks from Oct 15 to 17, police say. Unknown people allegedly got into the RBI-owned IFTAS Central SFMS server through the bank's core banking system.
The money was customers' funds. The bank first called it a "technical glitch". RBI, CERT-In and NCIIPC have been told and Maharashtra cyber police have a case.
If you bank there, check your RTGS debits from those dates.

Two critical vulnerabilities have been identified in PHP, a widely used programming language that powers websites and web applications. These vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619) could allow malicious cyber actors to remotely execute code in PHP core, potentially compromising sensitive data and networks.
The FBI urges organizations to take the following steps now:
➡️ If an immediate update is not feasible it is recommended that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated.
➡️ Immediately update affected PHP installations following the guidance on php.net. Inventory where PHP runs in your environment, prioritizing internet-facing systems and vendor products that bundle PHP.
➡️ Monitor web servers for suspicious activity, including PHP processes unexpectedly launching command shells or downloading files. Ensure appropriate process-monitoring capabilities are in place to help identify potential exploitation.
➡️ If you find signs of compromise, isolate affected systems, preserve your web server and PHP logs, and report it to your local FBI field office or ic3.gov. Those reports help us identify the actors involved and warn other organizations before they become victims.
For the latest information, follow PHP’s announcement on php.net, CERT-EU Security Advisory 2026-018, and CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
ALT Critical vulnerability alert for PHP Core with CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619, CVSS score 9.2, urging immediate patch and threat hunting.

We are preparing representations to @GoI_MeitY, @IndianCERT and @ccaindiapki on the compromise of the private keys of eight eMudhra (emSign) intermediate certification authority certificates. Given the scale of the issue, Cabinet Minister @AshwiniVaishnaw must issue a public statement and outline the steps being taken to address it.
Anaesthesiologist retweeted
Every Indian needs to know about this because it is a massive deal for how we trust anything on the internet.
Let me explain.
When you open your bank's website, there's a small padlock next to the web address. That padlock means two things.
First, that you're talking to your real bank.
And second that nobody can read what you type, like your password.
So how does your browser know the website is real?
It checks the website's certificate. Think of it like an ID card for a website.
Your Aadhaar is trusted because the government issued it. A website's ID card is trusted because a certificate authority issued it.
A certificate authority, or CA, is a company that browsers like Chrome, Firefox and Safari already trust. If a CA says "yes, this really is this bank's website," your browser believes it and shows the padlock.
eMudhra is an Indian CA. It's a big one, with more than 60 million certificates issued over the years.
So how does a CA sign these ID cards?
Every CA has a secret number called a private key. It uses that number to put a stamp on each certificate.
Your browser checks the stamp to confirm it really came from that CA.
The whole system only works if that number is impossible to guess.
For the type of key in this story, it's supposed to be around 116 digits long.
Every computer on Earth working together for billions of years wouldn't be able to guess a number like that, just because of the sheer combinations that exist.
But here's what happened.
On October 17, Mozilla got a report that the private keys behind eight eMudhra certificates had been compromised.
The report came through a person called Wayne on Google's Chrome team.
The keys weren't 116 digits long.
All eight keys were smaller than 256. Security researcher Scott Helme found that one of them was just the number 4. Others were 66, 155, 156, 230 and 237.
So anyone could break them by trying 256 numbers. A basic laptop does that in less than a second.
Mozilla didn't need to know how Wayne did it. Its own team recovered the keys within two hours. Since then, several other people have found them on their own too.
To understand the gravity of the problem, a bad actor could make fake ID cards for any website they want.
Your bank, your email, a government portal.
Browsers that trusted eMudhra would have checked the fake stamp and shown the padlock like everything was fine.
If someone could get between you and the internet, say on public Wi-Fi, they could show you a fake site with a real-looking padlock and read or change what you send.
eMudhra says a script used during its key creation process back in April 2025 had a flaw. It made a second, much weaker set of keys, and those were used by mistake to create the certificates.
That means these weak keys were there for about a year and a half before anyone caught it. eMudhra says the person who found it may have used AI-assisted techniques.
The good news is that the response was fast.
Mozilla received the report at 8:06 pm UTC on October 17 and had pushed a block to Firefox users by 10:59 pm.
Google, Apple and Microsoft have also blocked these certificates for their users.
eMudhra revoked all eight the next morning and stopped issuing new certificates from the affected root.
Mozilla is now removing that root certificate from Firefox's trusted list altogether.
But there's still a lot of clean-up to do.
Browsers are mostly covered. But plenty of apps, servers and backend systems don't check these block lists. They need software updates to stop trusting the bad certificates, and some of those updates are still pending.
Real websites that used eMudhra are also affected. Yash Kadakia, founder of Security Brigade, estimates around 30,000 legitimate certificates will need to be moved over. A lot of those are likely Indian businesses and services.
See, we're moving our whole lives online, UPI, banking, tax filing, DigiLocker, government services.
All of it rests on this invisible layer of trust.
So, when an Indian company that's trusted by every major browser makes a mistake this basic, it hurts how the world sees Indian digital infrastructure.
This has happened before, and it went very badly.
In 2011, a Dutch CA called DigiNotar was hacked, and fake Google certificates were used to spy on people in Iran.
Browsers stopped trusting it completely, and the company shut down soon after.
For now, here's what you can do. Keep your browser and apps updated on your phone and laptop.
Be careful on public Wi-Fi. Type your bank's website address yourself instead of clicking links.
eMudhra still owes India a clear, public explanation of how a key that protects millions of people ended up being the number 4.

🚨 A serious internet-security incident just came to light, and it involves an Indian company, eMudhra Ltd.
Secret keys belonging to eMudhra, a company whose job is to help prove websites are genuine, ended up in the wrong hands. Google, Mozilla (Firefox), Apple and Microsoft have all had to step in.
In this thread I'll explain what happened in plain language, why it matters, and what you need to do.

‼️ BREAKING: 8 Private keys belonging to eMudhra intermediate certificate authorities (CA) have been compromised.
Chrome and Firefox blocked the affected certificates within hours. Go, NSS, and other software have issued fixes.

Statement : SBI has told the stock exchanges about its data breach, but not the customers whose data was leaked
New Delhi, 21 October 2026
Today, the State Bank of India told the BSE and the National Stock Exchange, in a disclosure under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, that it has experienced an incident involving the loss of customer data. On 16 October 2026 the bank received alerts from its threat intelligence service provider, the Defence Cyber Agency and CERT-In that its customers’ data was available on the dark web. Its preliminary analysis of about 3.75 lakh records found 3,897 customer records containing personal information. These include registered mobile numbers, dates of birth, names, gender, email addresses, residential addresses, branch and CIF identifiers, lead IDs and details linked to loan records. The bank says it does not yet know where the data came from, and it has engaged a CERT-In empanelled agency to find out.
SBI did not detect this breach itself and learnt of it from outside agencies after the data had already been published. On the same day, a threat monitoring account on X flagged a claim by a group calling itself “Siriusim” that it had released 3.75 lakh rows of SBI data and 2,722 PDF documents, including loan applications and account opening forms. The bank’s disclosure does not mention these documents. It also does not say what the remaining records, beyond the 3,897 it has identified, contain.
At the time of this statement, SBI has not said that it has informed any of the affected customers, and its disclosure is silent on the point. Five days passed between the alert and today’s filing. The filing assures investors that the incident has no material impact on the bank’s operations, financial performance or business continuity. However, it does not state anything to the 3,897 people whose phone numbers, dates of birth and home addresses are now with fraudsters. These customers are the most likely to receive calls from persons posing as SBI officials who can recite their account details back to them. A customer cannot guard against a fraud she has not been warned of.
The Internet Freedom Foundation calls on SBI to inform every affected customer directly and without further delay.
We regret to note that the law in force today does not compel the bank to do so. Section 8(6) of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 requires a Data Fiduciary to intimate a personal data breach to the Data Protection Board and to each affected Data Principal, and Rule 7 of the DPDP Rules, 2025 prescribes how this is to be done. But the Union Government chose a staggered commencement, and these provisions will take effect only on 13 May 2027, nearly four years after Parliament enacted the law. The reporting obligations that apply today, under the CERT-In Directions of 28 April 2022 and the RBI’s cyber security framework for banks, are owed to regulators and not to customers. A listed bank is bound to keep the stock exchanges informed. No law in force clearly binds it to inform the people whose data it holds.
Our demands
1. SBI must inform each affected customer by SMS, email and letter to the registered address, in English, Hindi and the language of the customer’s branch, stating what data was exposed and what steps they should take. It should open a dedicated helpline and an online facility for customers to check whether their data is affected.
2. SBI must state what the 3.75 lakh records and the 2,722 documents contain, how many customers they relate to, and whether they include KYC documents such as Aadhaar, PAN or passport copies.
3. When the investigation concludes, SBI must disclose how the data left its systems, including whether it came through a vendor or a direct selling agent, and publish a summary of the investigating agency’s findings.
4. The Reserve Bank of India should direct all regulated entities to notify customers of personal data breaches within a fixed period, pending the commencement of the DPDP Act.
5. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology should bring Section 8(6) of the DPDP Act and Rule 7 of the DPDP Rules into force immediately.

Throughout my sporting career, I questioned my coaches, challenged ideas and remained curious. Not because I lacked respect but because I wanted to understand, learn and get better. I worry that when athletes feel they cannot speak freely, something far more troubling happens over time. They slowly stop questioning even in their own minds. And when that happens we loose something essential to sporting excellence. We need athletes who question their own work, their coaches, the methods recommended to them and the structures they operate within. Not out of defiance but out of a genuine desire to improve. What some might consider indiscipline may, in fact, be essential to growth. There is a difference between an athlete who refuses to learn and one who refuses to stop asking questions. Sport must be wise enough to recognise that difference.

राष्ट्रपति महोदया,
19 साल की अंकिता भंडारी ने एक VIP के लिए अपनी गरिमा से समझौता करने से इनकार किया, जिसके कारण उसकी हत्या कर दी गई। चार साल बाद भी CBI की धीमी जांच के चलते यह सवाल बना हुआ है कि वो VIP कौन था।
अंकिता के परिवार समेत कई लोग मानते हैं कि दुष्यंत गौतम इस मामले से जुड़े हुए हैं। ऐसे में उनकी सिक्किम के राज्यपाल के पद पर नियुक्ति से मैं स्तब्ध हूं। राज्यपाल के पद पर रहते हुए उनके खिलाफ कोई आपराधिक कार्यवाही नहीं हो सकती।
दुष्यंत गौतम की नियुक्ति की सलाह देकर प्रधानमंत्री मोदी ने साबित किया है कि महिलाओं की सुरक्षा की उन्हें बिल्कुल परवाह ही नहीं है।
मैं आपसे अपील करता हूं कि सरकार को इस नियुक्ति पर पुनर्विचार करने और जांच पूरी होने तक दुष्यंत गौतम को पदभार न देने की सलाह दें।
अंकिता के माता-पिता की न्याय की उम्मीद मत टूटने दीजिए।

अंकिता भंडारी केस में बीजेपी लीडर विनोद आर्य के बेटे पुलकित आर्य को उम्र क़ैद की सजा हुई।
जांच के दौरान दो व्यक्तियों के फ़ोन कभी नहीं मिले।
1. पुलकित आर्य
2. अंकिता भंडारी
अंकिता भंडारी की डुप्लीकेट सिम बनवा कर पुलिस ने साल भर की कॉल डिटेल, वॉट्सएप मेसेज निकलवा लिए।
लेकिन पुलकित आर्य के मामले में ऐसा नहीं किया गया!
क्यों?
क्योंकि पुलकित आर्य की कॉल डिटेल्स और मेसेज से पता चल जाता कि कौन कौन VIP इसमें शामिल था।
ये भी पता चल जाता कि क्या मामला सिर्फ अंकिता के शोषण का था या और भी युवतियों को मजबूर किया जाता था।
इसीलिए उत्तराखंड में इस मामले में रोष है।
इसीलिए अंकिता के माता पिता आंदोलित हैं।
पुलिस ने तो VIP के नाम उजागर नहीं किए। लेकिन जब बीजेपी के अपने नेताओं ने पिछले साल दुष्यंत गौतम का नाम उजागर कर दिया, तो पूरे उत्तराखंड में जनता सड़कों पर उतर आई।
तब जनवरी 2026 में CBI जांच की घोषणा की गई।
लेकिन दस महीने हो गए, जांच आगे नहीं बढ़ी।
अंकिता के पिता को पहली बार CBI ने पिछले हफ़्ते 9 अक्टूबर को संपर्क किया!
और फिर 12 अक्टूबर को दुष्यंत गौतम को सिक्किम का राज्यपाल बना कर जाँच के दायरे से बाहर कर दिया। राज्यपाल को संवैधानिक immunity होती है। कोई CBI या SIT उनसे पूछताछ नहीं कर सकती है।
राज्यपाल बनाने के लिए गृह मंत्रालय और IB ने दुष्यंत गौतम को चुपचाप क्लीन चिट भी दे दी!
ऐसा क्यों किया, यही सवाल अंकिता के माता पिता राष्ट्रपति जी पूछना चाहते हैं।
