New security code kicks in for defence companies in India
New Delhi: The government has mandated new rules for defence companies operating in the country, with a special focus on enhancing cybersecurity to prevent data breaches and upgrading perimeter security for manufacturing facilities. The new Security Manual for Licensed Defence Industries will require all players to invest in both information and physical security and conduct regular emergency drills, besides coordinating closely with law enforcement to verify the antecedents of employees.

This is the first major overhaul of security rules for defence companies since the manual was issued in 2014. As per the new rules, Indian companies will need to appoint a cyber information security officer who will be tasked to implement cyber security measures as recommended by the government. The cyber information security officer will also coordinate with government cyber security agencies to ensure that "systems handling classified and sensitive information are compliant with national cyber security directives". Companies have also been mandated to conduct annual cyber security audits by CERT-IN empanelled auditors. The findings of the audits need to be addressed and updates have to be shared regularly with the defence ministry. Companies have also been told to invest in implementing measures to safeguard critical information infrastructure with things like multi factor authentication for access, encryption of sensitive communications and strict access control to systems handling defence-related data. Defence companies will also need to create watch towers and physical perimeter security grids as per specifications mandated by the defence ministry. Biometric access control systems will also need to be installed at all entry and exit points. Employees handling classified information will also need to undergo periodic re-vetting. India has seen an unprecedented boom in domestic defence manufacturing companies in the last decade, with dozens of players setting shop to produce defence equipment from drones to ammunition, explosives and small arms as the government has fully opened doors for the private sector.

Forget ghosting or gaslighting: ‘Ghostlighting' is the alarming new dating trend you need to know about
In a world where finding love often begins with a swipe, modern dating comes with its own emotional minefields. First came ghosting, then gaslighting. Now, a disturbing hybrid has emerged—and experts are warning it could be far more damaging. Welcome to the era of ghostlighting . Imagine this: You've been dating someone for weeks. The chemistry is electric, the connection is real. You're spending entire days together, meeting each other's friends and family, and feeling like the relationship is evolving naturally. But then, without warning, they disappear. No call, no text, no explanation. Just complete silence. Classic ghosting.

You begin to heal. And suddenly—they're back. Acting like nothing ever happened. When you bring up their unexplained absence, they deny it or brush it off with vague excuses like 'I was just really busy' or 'You're overthinking it.' That's ghostlighting. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Knee pain prices might surprise you Knee pain | search ads Find Now Undo Ghostlighting: A Toxic Combination of Disappearing and Denial According to Oprah Daily, ghostlighting is 'a manipulative tactic where an individual disappears and cuts off communication suddenly,' explains certified therapist Lee Phillips. When they return, they often gaslight the victim—denying the ghosting ever occurred or blaming the victim for misinterpreting the situation. Phillips elaborates that such behavior is rooted in anxiety, shame, and an inability to take accountability. The ghostlighter often retreats out of fear or avoidance, then returns with false narratives to regain control or soothe their guilt. You Might Also Like: Are you a cookie who's in love? New toxic dating trend is ruining lives. 5 signs you're being 'Cookie Jarred' This trend is a psychological double whammy—first abandoning the person without closure, then emotionally invalidating them when they seek answers. Ghosting and Gaslighting While ghosting involves cutting off all communication without explanation, gaslighting refers to manipulating someone into questioning their reality. According to Psychology Today, ghosting can trigger deep feelings of abandonment and anxiety, while the National Domestic Violence Hotline describes gaslighting as a powerful form of emotional abuse that erodes a person's self-trust and perception. Ghostlighting, therefore, is especially insidious. It not only leaves the victim emotionally stranded but also chips away at their confidence and sense of clarity, making it even harder to recover. Why It's More Dangerous Than It Sounds According to a report from VICE, experts warn that ghostlighting is particularly harmful because it masquerades as reconciliation. It gives the illusion of mending something, when in reality, it only deepens emotional wounds. Victims often second-guess their feelings, wondering if they've exaggerated the hurt or misunderstood the situation. You Might Also Like: 'Floodlighting' is the new dating trend Gen Z can't stop talking about. But why is it a red flag experts are warning against? But it's not just confusion—it's manipulation. 'Once an abusive partner has broken down the victim's ability to trust their own perceptions,' the National Domestic Violence Hotline notes, 'the victim is more likely to stay in the abusive relationship.' If you've experienced ghostlighting, the most important thing to remember is: it's not your fault. Emotional manipulation says more about the person doing it than the one enduring it. Therapists suggest establishing firm emotional boundaries and recognizing red flags early. More importantly, understanding these modern dating patterns can help you protect your mental well-being and choose partners who respect your emotional reality.

Japan's Nikkei soars to one-year peak on trade deal; bonds slide
Japanese automakers led a surge in the Nikkei share average to a one-year peak on Wednesday, after Tokyo reached a trade deal with Washington, ending a months-long stalemate. Under the agreement, Japanese exports to the United States face a 15% levy, down from a threatened tariff of 25%. Specific duties on autos, which account for more than a quarter of Japan's U.S. exports, also fell to 15% from 25%.

The Tokyo Stock Exchange 's transport equipment index soared nearly 11%, with Toyota Motor surging more than 14%. The clarity on tariffs bolstered the case for the Bank of Japan to resume raising interest rates, lifting short-term Japanese government bond yields. Live Events Longer-term JGB yields also climbed, with local media reporting that embattled Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba was preparing to step down, suggesting a shift in the political landscape towards increased fiscal largesse. Ishiba has denied the reports. The 10-year yield shot to the highest since 2008 at 1.6%, while a 40-year debt auction garnered the lowest demand since 2011. The yen weakened about 0.3% to 147.02 per dollar after initially flipping between gains and losses. "As long as the political situation doesn't deteriorate too much more, we suspect Japan's equity rally has further to run," Capital Economics head of Asia Pacific markets Thomas Mathews wrote in a note. For the rates market, "our sense is that investors are still underestimating how fast the central bank will hike this year and next," Mathews said. Ishiba is facing growing opposition from within his Liberal Democratic Party for his vow to stay in power despite the ruling coalition's drubbing in Sunday's election, which resulted in the loss of the coalition's upper house majority. Opposition parties calling for debt-funded consumption tax cuts made big gains at the polls. The yield on 40-year JGBs climbed 8.5 basis points to hit 3.46%. Thirty-year yields advanced as much as 6.5 basis points to 3.15%, approaching last week's all-time high of 3.20%. Two-year yields, which are more sensitive to the monetary policy outlook, jumped 8 basis points to 0.83%, the highest since April 2, when U.S. President Donald Trump shocked markets with his aggressive "Liberation Day" tariff announcement. Expectations for tighter monetary policy also lifted the TSE's banking index by 4.4%, making it the second-biggest gainer among the bourse's 33 industry groupings. The central bank will meet on policy next week. BOJ Deputy Governor Shinichi Uchida said on Wednesday that the trade deal greatly reduces uncertainty over the economic outlook, but also warned that risks to activity and prices were skewed to the downside. "I don't think this (trade deal) alone will lead to a Bank of Japan rate hike next week, but the possibility of a rate hike between September and October has increased," said SMBC chief currency strategist Hirofumi Suzuki. "However, if anything, political uncertainty is having more of an impact on the market, and the pressure for yen depreciation is likely to continue."
