CloudSEK detects Maha-based counterfeit currency syndicates on social media
Cyber intelligence firm CloudSEK has detected counterfeit currency syndicates based out of Maharashtra operating via social media platforms, the company said in a report. The report said that the earlier such syndicates were confined to the dark web and underground print shops and claimed that such syndicates were now operating in broad daylight through social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. Sourajeet Majumder, a security researcher at CloudSEK, said the firm has reported about the syndicate to the law enforcement agencies with details of the cyber criminals along with their phone numbers, GPS location and supporting digital evidence. He said the counterfeit currency network was flourishing openly on social media platforms. "In a first-of-its-kind investigation, CloudSEK's STRIKE team has not only quantified the spread -- Rs 17.5 crore worth of fake Indian currency in just six months -- but also attributed key individuals behind the operation using facial recognition, GPS data, and digital forensics," the report said. CloudSEK is one of the cyber intelligence service providers to India cyber security watchdog CERT-In. The CloudSEK researchers found over 4,500 posts promoting counterfeit currency, more than 750 accounts and pages facilitating the sale and around 410 unique phone numbers linked to sellers. "Adhering to its commitment to responsible disclosure and aiding national security, the comprehensive findings from this investigation, including the detailed attribution of threat actors, their phone numbers, precise GPS locations, and supporting digital evidence, have been formally furnished to relevant central and state law enforcement agencies," Majumder said. He said that the critical intelligence has also been shared with appropriate regulatory authorities to enable swift and decisive action against this illicit network, safeguarding both the nation's financial stability and its citizens.

Boss buys Rs 5 lakh artwork from artist who abused her employee. What happens next leaves Internet in awe
An employer has earned widespread admiration online after taking a striking stand against an artist who had allegedly mistreated one of her team members at her restaurant. A video that has since gone viral on the subreddit Amazing captures the powerful moment she retaliated in a dramatic fashion. In the footage, the woman is seen purchasing a piece of artwork by renowned artist Romero Britto for a hefty sum of $5,000 (approximately Rs 5 lakh), only to immediately destroy it right in front of him. The artist, clearly stunned, watches as his own creation is shattered. The post's caption explains the background—the woman had once encountered the artist behaving rudely to one of her staff members while dining at her restaurant. The incident, though perhaps long past, clearly left a mark. The viral clip captures the woman confronting the artist and expressing her fury, shouting, 'Never go to my restaurant and disrespect an employee… never!' at the shell-shocked artist.

Viewers flooded the comment section, praising the employer's commitment to her team. Many lauded her courage and leadership, saying she had earned lifelong loyalty from her staff. Several commenters remarked on the emotional weight of the moment. One noted how visibly shaken the artist appeared as he saw his own work demolished—the symbolic destruction resonating more deeply than words ever could. Another user pointed out that the act likely did more damage to his public image than to the artwork itself, speculating that such a viral incident could potentially tarnish his professional reputation. The employer's fearless move prompted many to reflect on the qualities of true leadership. Commenters shared how such actions build unbreakable trust among employees, reinforcing the idea that good leaders inspire unwavering loyalty. For some, she represented the kind of boss people would go to extreme lengths for, simply because she had demonstrated character, conviction, and a sense of justice. Stories of Other Inspiring Bosses Emerge The viral moment also led others to share their own positive experiences with exceptional employers. One user recounted how they told their boss they'd follow him into any situation—a bond forged from mutual respect and a work culture built on fairness and hard work. This boss, described as humble, intelligent, and deeply dedicated, was the type of leader who led by example—arriving early, giving generously, and creating an environment where employees genuinely wanted to contribute to his success. Such examples show that when leaders prioritize respect and loyalty, the impact ripples far beyond the workplace. Romero Britto is a renowned Brazilian visual artist known for his work across painting, printmaking, and sculpture. His distinctive artistic style blends aspects of cubism, pop art, and street-inspired graffiti. Britto's creations are instantly recognizable for their vivid color palettes and striking, energetic patterns, which he uses to convey themes of joy, optimism, and aspiration. Through his art, he aims to reflect a world filled with positivity, imagination, and emotional warmth.

She accused them of living in worse conditions than the country's poor, just to go back and call India 'pathetic.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Sleep Apnea Ruined My Life – Then I Found This Simple Trick Health Insight Undo The YouTuber fired back with a post on X (formerly Twitter), saying he wasn't 'slumming it.' He was staying in 5-star hotels and still ended up catching four strains of Salmonella. 'Only ate in 5-star hotels and still contracted 4 types of Salmonella,' he wrote. The reason? According to him, the hotel likely sourced eggs from a chicken farm next to a literal mountain of trash. 'Not Racist to Talk About Hygiene' Tyler insisted that criticising India's sanitation issues isn't racism, it's reality. 'There are serious hygiene issues that must be addressed in India. It is NOT racist to address the poor quality of life most Indians are subjected to while the upper caste insulates themselves from reality,' he posted. Live Events To back up his claims, he even attached medical reports proving his illness. But that didn't stop the flood of angry comments calling him out for 'defaming India.' The $100-a-Night Argument When people accused him of travelling on a budget, Tyler clarified: 'The 5-star hotels were about $100 a night. It was budget travel relative to American standards.' He even took a dig at India's wealth gap: 'Ambani has a billion-dollar tower overlooking the slums. Your anger is misplaced,' he said. The internet remains divided. Some Indians echoed his concerns, saying it's time India stops being defensive and starts fixing real problems. Others slammed him for reducing an entire country to a bad stomach bug.
