Bank of Japan Holds Rates at 0.5% Amid Trade Uncertainty and Tariff Risks

Because of the uncertainty surrounding global trade and the pressure from U.S. tariffs, the Bank of Japan BOJ has decided to maintain interest rates a

Because of the uncertainty surrounding global trade and the pressure from U.S. tariffs, the Bank of Japan BOJ has decided to maintain interest rates at 0.5%. Japans inflation target of 2% has been postponed, Governor Kazuo Ueda admitted, which limits the window for rate increases in the future. The decision is complicated by external volatility, but internal variables such as growing wage expectations and food inflation continue to drive the BOJ towards a tightening bias. The BOJ may postpone rises until January 2026, according to analysts, in order to prevent market disruptions. After the decision, the yen fell to 144.74 per dollar, sparking worries about currency devaluation and trade tensions with the United States. Read More..

Researchers Uncover Malicious WordPress Plugin Enabling Persistent Website Attacks

In order to enable attackers to remain on websites, evade detection, and run remote code, cybersecurity researchers have discovered a malicious WordPr

In order to enable attackers to remain on websites, evade detection, and run remote code, cybersecurity researchers have discovered a malicious WordPress plugin masquerading as a security utility. Since its initial discovery in January 2025, the malware, known as WPantimalwarebot.php, has developed new variations. It inserts dangerous PHP code into theme headers, modifies cache plugins, and gives administrator access. If removed, the malware will reinstall itself thanks to a rogue wpcron.php file. Additionally, more recent iterations insert JavaScript advertisements from stolen domains, which may indicate click fraud or malvertising. To reduce dangers, security professionals suggest updating WordPress installations, keeping an eye on site activity, and deleting the plugin. Read More..
