West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday lambasted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, branding him as the "biggest rioter", who will meet a fate "even worse" than that of former US President Donald Trump. Photograph: Utpal Sarkar/ANI Photo Banerjee, speaking at a rally at Sahaganj in Hooghly district from where the prime minister had addressed a public meeting last week, also alleged that Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah are spreading lies and hatred throughout the country. "He describes the TMC as a 'tolabaj' (extortionist) party, but what is he? Narendra Modi is the biggest 'dangabaaz' (rioter), the biggest 'dhandabaaz' (opportunist). "You are selling the entire country for crores of rupees, what is that for?

West Bengal Chief Minister on Wednesday said the Union government, instead of targeting her, was targeting women and daughters of her family. “You are entering my house and targeting own young daughters and daughter-in law who are 22–23-year-old. Our daughters and daughters-in- laws are all coal thieves and what are you, roaming around with coal thieves?,” she said at a rally at Chinsurah in Hooghly district. The CBI recently questioned her Rujira Banerjee, wife of her nephew Abhishek Banerjee, in a coal pilferage case. Addressing the public rally at the same ground where Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a rally on February 22, she accused the former of flagging off railway projects that she had conceived and sanctioned funds for. “Modi ji should answer why is Coal India being sold, railways being privatised, farmers are on streets,” she stated.

China hijacked NSA hacking tool to attack US citizens
New Delhi, In a daring incident, Chinese cybercriminals managed to steal, clone and use nation-grade cyber tools from none other than the US' National Security Agency (NSA) to attack US targets. The tool called "Jian" was actually a clone of software developed by the US National Security Agency (NSA)'s Equation Group, described as "one of the most sophisticated cyberattack groups in the world", according to a report by Check Point Research. "The caught-in-the-wild exploit of CVE-2017-0005, a 0-Day attributed by Microsoft to the Chinese APT31 (Zirconium), is in fact a replica of an Equation Group exploit code-named EpMe," the researchers said. Chinese bad actors had access to EpMe's files, both their 32-bits and 64-bits versions, more than two years before the infamous Shadow Brokers leak. In the Shadow Brokers leak, a mysterious group decided to publicly publish a wide range of cyber weapons allegedly developed by the Tailored Access Operations (TAO) unit of the NSA … [Read more...] about China hijacked NSA hacking tool to attack US citizens
