EU and U.S. Maintain $81B in Trade with Russia Despite Sweeping Sanctions

The United States and Europe continue to trade billions of dollars with Russia in spite of broad sanctions, especially in industries that are not subject to embargoes. In 2024, the United States imported $9 billion worth of industrial goods, metals, and chemicals from Russia, compared to $72 billion for the EU. Trade has continued because of exemptions and loopholes, particularly for essential raw materials. While American corporations rely on Russian titanium for aircraft, European companies point to supply chain dependencies. This, according to critics, jeopardises attempts to isolate Moscow over its conflict in Ukraine. In the meantime, Russia has lessened the impact of Western prohibitions by shifting exports to Asia and Latin America. A complicated web of economic interconnection is revealed by the statistics, casting doubt on the efficacy of the sanctions regimes in place. Read More..

People Inc. CEO Calls Google a “Bad Actor” Over AI Content Scraping

Google has been called a "bad actor" by Neil Vogel, CEO of People Inc., for employing a single crawler to index webpages for search and AI training without paying publishers. Vogel made the case during his speech at the Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference that this dual usage enables Google to "steal content" and still profit from search traffic. He pointed out that in recent years, Googles traffic share to People Inc. has decreased from 90% to less than 30%. In response, People Inc. inked a contract with OpenAI, which Vogel referred to as a "good actor," and teamed up with Cloudflare to restrict AI crawlers that dont pay. Talks have been started by other major LLM providers. The argument highlights the escalating conflicts over data ownership and AI monetisation between publishers and internet behemoths. Read More..

Starlink Restores Service After Outage Hits 43,000 Users in U.S. and Ukraine

After a significant disruption interrupted internet access for more than 43,000 people in the frontline forces of the United States and Ukraine, Elon

After a significant disruption interrupted internet access for more than 43,000 people in the frontline forces of the United States and Ukraine, Elon Musks Starlink restored service. Early Monday saw the disruption, with Downdetector indicating widespread problems in places including Phoenix, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Seattle, and Chicago. On its website, Starlink momentarily recognised the outage and said engineers were looking into it. However, the notification was suddenly taken down without providing any additional context. By 115 a.m. ET, the number of interruption reports fell below 1,000. Although service was promptly restored, the event sparked questions about Starlinks dependability in highrisk areas. The interruption serves as a reminder of the increasing reliance on satellite internet for military and civilian access, particularly in areas with poor infrastructure or in areas that are experiencing active conflict.

FastNetMon Neutralizes Record 1.5Bpps DDoS Attack Targeting EU Vendor

Targeting a DDoS mitigation company in Western Europe, FastNetMon stopped a huge DDoS attack that peaked at 1.5 billion packets per second Bpps. Using

Targeting a DDoS mitigation company in Western Europe, FastNetMon stopped a huge DDoS attack that peaked at 1.5 billion packets per second Bpps. Using a UDP deluge to overwhelm infrastructure, the attack started with MikroTik routers and IoT devices that had been taken over from 11,000 networks. The threat was eliminated without affecting service thanks to FastNetMons realtime detection and scrubbing technology. Experts caution that the widespread weaponization of consumer devices is a concerning trend. Rising packetrate and bandwidthdriven dangers are highlighted by the incident, which comes after another volumetric attack that broke records. ISPlevel filtering is recommended by FastNetMon to stop future floods. The incident highlights the increasing complexity of DDoS attacks and the pressing requirement for proactive, dispersed defences across international networks. Read More..

Vietnam’s Credit Bureau Hit by Cyberattack, Shiny Hunters Suspected

A cyberattack at the State Bank of Vietnams National Credit Information Centre CIC may have revealed private creditor information. Authorities believe

A cyberattack at the State Bank of Vietnams National Credit Information Centre CIC may have revealed private creditor information. Authorities believe the intrusion was caused by the wellknown hacker collective Shiny Hunters, which frequently targets large companies like Microsoft and Google. CIC asserts that its systems are still up and running and that no sensitive financial information, such as login credentials or credit card details, was hacked. Leading companies are working with Vietnams Cybersecurity Emergency Response Centre to safeguard and probe the system. Citing potential legal repercussions, officials have cautioned against downloading or disseminating any disclosed data. Although it is unlikely to have an immediate impact on deposit flows, JPMorgan pointed out that the hack might raise cybersecurity expenses for Vietnamese banks. Read More..

In an effort to put pressure on Russia to halt its war in Ukraine, U.S. President Donald Trump has called for the European Union to slap 100% tariffs

In an effort to put pressure on Russia to halt its war in Ukraine, U.S. President Donald Trump has called for the European Union to slap 100% tariffs on China and India. In a virtual meeting with U.S. and EU officials, Trump made the idea and said that the U.S. would only take action if Europe joined. The action targets the ongoing imports of Russian oil by China and India. Citing similar concerns, Trump increased duties on Indian goods to 50% last month. Trump called Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi a "very good friend" and voiced confidence about trade negotiations with him despite the concerns. Modi gave a positive response, highlighting the possibilities of the alliance between the United States and India.
