CoinDCX offers 25% bounty to recover stolen crypto in $44-mn hack

CoinDCX, one of India's leading cryptocurrency exchanges, has announced a recovery bounty program after suffering a security breach that led to the loss of approximately $44 million (around Rs 379 crore). The company is offering up to 25 per cent of the recovered funds as a reward to those who help retrieve the stolen crypto and assist in identifying and bringing the attackers to justice. If all lost assets are recovered, the bounty could reach a total value of $11 million (Rs 94.6 crore). In a statement, CoinDCX emphasised that the effort goes beyond just recovering funds — it's about uniting the Web3 community to stand against cybercrime. 'This is not just about us. This is about standing up for what's right, for the safety, transparency, and future of the entire Web3 ecosystem. It's a war against cybercrime,' the company said. Co-founder Neeraj Khandelwal highlighted that the breach was not only an attack on CoinDCX but on trust itself. 'When one of us is targeted, all of us are affected. CoinDCX is committed to using this incident as a turning point—to strengthen our defenses, reinforce transparency, and work with the best minds in the industry to make recovery real and replicable,' he said. He added that the company is actively working with an exchange partner to block and recover the stolen assets and is fully committed to the recovery effort. 'We will emerge from this stronger, together,' Khandelwal said. The company also issued a call to action, inviting ethical hackers, white-hat researchers, and partners across the ecosystem to join the fight against cybercrime.

UltraTech Cement Q1 net profit rises 49% to ₹2,226 crore

UltraTech Cement Ltd., an Aditya Birla Group company, reported 49% growth in consolidated net profit to ₹2,226 crore for the first quarter ended June 30, 2025 as compared with ₹1,495 crore a year ago. Consolidated net sales stood at ₹21,040 crore as compared with ₹18,626 crore a year ago, up 13%. The company's consolidated sales volumes reached 36.83 million metric tonnes for the quarter, growing 9.7% with the acquisitions of The India Cements Ltd and the cement business of Kesoram Industries Ltd. Energy costs were lower by 12% Year on Year, mainly on account of reduced fuel prices. Raw material costs marginally rose by 2%, the company said in a filing. India Cements, which was acquired by UltraTech last year has successfully turned around. 'Comprehensive efforts on multiple fronts have enabled India Cements generate an EBIDTA of Rs. 92 crore, compared to loss of ₹9 crore last year,' UltraTech Cement said. Through debottlenecking, an additional capacity of 0.3 mtpa has been released from the India Cements assets in the lucrative northern region, it added. UltraTech's expansion program is progressing as scheduled, with the company continuously enhancing its production capabilities to meet the growing demand for cement, it further said.
