सुप्रीम कोर्ट से इच्छामृत्यु की मंजूरी के बाद हरीश राणा को एम्स दिल्ली में किया जाएगा शिफ्ट, 13 साल से थे कोमा में

भारत के सर्वोच्च न्यायालय से इच्छामृत्यु की अनुमति मिलने के बाद गाजियाबाद निवासी हरीश राडा को अब एम्स दिल्ली में स्थानांतरित किया जाएगा। हरीश पिछले 13 साल से कोमा में थे और काफी समय से गंभीर हालत में रह रहे थे। उसके दर्द और तकलीफ को देखते हुए परिवार ने कोर्ट से इच्छामृत्यु की इजाजत मांगी थी. लंबी कानूनी प्रक्रिया के बाद कोर्ट ने ये मांग मान ली. परिवार का कहना है कि उन्हें इस बात का दुख है कि उनका बेटा अब उनके साथ नहीं रहेगा, लेकिन इस बात से संतुष्ट हैं कि उन्हें सालों से चले आ रहे दर्द से राहत मिलेगी.

2013 में एक गंभीर दुर्घटना घटी
जानकारी के मुताबिक, रक्षाबंधन के अगले दिन 21 अगस्त 2013 को हरीश राणा चंडीगढ़ स्थित अपने पीजी की चौथी मंजिल से गिर गए थे। इस दुर्घटना में उन्हें गंभीर चोटें आईं और वे कोमा में चले गए। तब से उनका इलाज चलता रहा, लेकिन उनकी हालत में कोई खास सुधार नहीं हुआ. पिछले कई सालों से परिवार उनकी देखभाल कर रहा था.

फादर ने लोगों से गोपनीयता बनाए रखने की अपील की
हरीश के पिता अशोक राडा ने लोगों से अपील की है कि उनके बेटे को शांतिपूर्वक मुक्ति के रास्ते पर जाने दिया जाए. उन्होंने कहा कि परिवार इस पूरी प्रक्रिया को निजी रखना चाहता है. अशोक राणा का कहना है कि सुप्रीम कोर्ट का फैसला सही और मानवीय है. उनके मुताबिक इससे उनके बेटे को लंबे समय से चल रही तकलीफ से राहत मिलेगी.

भाई ने हादसे पर जताया संदेह
इस बीच हरीश राणा के छोटे भाई आशीष राडा ने एक अहम जानकारी साझा की है. उन्होंने बताया कि 13 साल पहले जब ये घटना हुई तो परिवार को शक हुआ कि ये महज एक हादसा नहीं है. आशीष के मुताबिक, उन्हें लगा कि किसी ने हरीश को चौथी मंजिल से धक्का दे दिया होगा। इस मामले में पुलिस को शिकायत भी दी गई, लेकिन परिवार का कहना है कि मामले की गंभीरता से जांच नहीं की गई. आशीष फिलहाल गुरुग्राम में एक कंपनी में काम करता है।

बेटे की विदाई का दर्द झेल रही मां
हरीश की मां निर्मला देवी पिछले 13 साल से अपने बेटे की देखभाल कर रही थीं. अब वह अपने बेटे के हमेशा के लिए दूर चले जाने के ख्याल से बेहद दुखी हैं. उनका कहना है कि अब उस बेटे को अंतिम विदाई देने का समय आ गया है, जिसे दर्द से राहत दिलाने के लिए उन्होंने कोर्ट में लंबी लड़ाई लड़ी। यह सोच कर उसका दिल भारी हो जाता है.

समाज परिवार के साथ खड़ा रहा
इच्छामृत्यु के फैसले के बाद हरीश राणा के घर के बाहर लोगों और मीडिया की भीड़ जुटने लगी. हालांकि, हरीश के पिता ने सभी से परिवार की निजता का सम्मान करने की अपील की. समाज के लोगों ने भी परिवार का पूरा साथ दिया और बाहरी लोगों के प्रवेश को सीमित कर दिया ताकि परिवार को किसी तरह की परेशानी का सामना न करना पड़े.

How a Ukraine trip revealed Banksy’s ‘true identity’ world News

How a trip to Ukraine exposed Banksy's 'true identity'

For nearly three decades the art world has been engaged in a strange cultural ritual. People stand in front of the walls, looking at them with unusual seriousness and trying to interpret a joke left by someone during the night. A mouse with a plank. One policeman hugging another policeman. A child is moving towards a red balloon which has already slipped. The name beneath the stencil is always the same: Banksy.No biography, no interviews, no public appearances. Just a pseudonym that became one of the most recognizable signatures in modern art.Banksy’s anonymity was not just a curiosity but a part of the work. Street art was always in tension with the law, and a guy who mocked governments and corporations with spray paint couldn’t easily step out into the light of day without losing that rebellious energy. Over time mystery became inseparable from art. The world wasn’t just looking at Banksy’s graffiti; It was also looking for the person who had painted them.

How a trip to Ukraine exposed Banksy's 'true identity'

The answer, when it finally began to emerge, did not come in the form of any dramatic revelation or triumphant revelation. Instead it emerged gradually through patient reporting. The Reuters investigation traced clues scattered across continents and decades. The series moves from the graffiti culture of Bristol to the bombed-out buildings of Ukraine and finally to a forgotten police file in New York. What the journalists uncovered was less a dramatic display than a gradual dismantling of a myth that had been carefully maintained for years.The story begins in Bristol, a port city in southwest England, where a thriving underground scene of musicians, graffiti artists, and political activists developed at the turn of the twentieth century. Bristol in the 1990s was fertile ground for experimentation. Spray paint was cheap, public walls were abundant and authority provided a steady supply of targets for satire. In that environment a young graffiti artist began to develop the style that would later define Banksy’s work.A technical choice proved decisive. The artist began using stencils instead of painting freehand. The stencils allowed images to be applied quickly and repeatedly. They also allowed the artist to work at pace, which was necessary any time police patrols came into view. This method created the clean silhouettes and sharp outlines that later became synonymous with Banksy’s visual language.Topics emerged just as quickly. War, policing, capitalism, and consumer culture all appeared in early works, usually filtered through a mischievous sense of humor. Banksy’s characters often appeared simple but had a sharp political edge. Children confronted soldiers, animals mocked officials and everyday objects were transformed into cool acts of rebellion. One image in particular caught people’s imagination: a little girl moving toward a heart-shaped balloon floating in the sky. The work was emotionally simple, instantly recognizable, and quietly devastating.

How a trip to Ukraine exposed Banksy's 'true identity'

As Banksy’s murals began to appear in cities around the world, the mystery surrounding the artist deepened. Journalists and enthusiasts proposed several candidates for the identity behind the pseudonym. One of the most frequent names was Bristol artist Robin Gunningham, whose background matched the timeline of Banksy’s early career. The other was musician Robert Del Naja of the band Massive Attack, who himself had been part of the Bristol graffiti scene years earlier. Speculation developed into a small cultural industry, in which entire communities analyzed itineraries and stylistic similarities in an attempt to identify the elusive artist.Meanwhile Banksy continued to work. Murals appear in London, Paris, New York and the Middle East, often containing scathing comments about war, immigration and political power. Anonymity lasted so long that it seemed almost supernatural. Banksy seemed less like an individual artist and more like an invisible presence capable of appearing on any blank wall.The modern investigation of his identity began in an unexpected place. In 2022, during the war in Ukraine, several new Banksy murals appeared on damaged buildings near Kiev. Photos showed gymnasts balancing on debris and children confronting armed soldiers. The works quickly attracted international attention. He also raised a practical question. If Banksy had traveled to an active war zone to create them, someone would surely have seen him.Reporters began talking to residents of the villages where the murals appeared. Eyewitnesses reported that a small group was arriving in an ambulance. Two masked painters worked rapidly with stencils and spray paint while a third man accompanied them. The man was recognizable because he had artificial legs and an arm. He turned out to be a British war photographer who had previously worked with Banksy’s wide circle of artists and musicians. Details suggest that those involved in Ukrainian graffiti may have connections to the Bristol scene, from which Banksy originally emerged.

How a trip to Ukraine exposed Banksy's 'true identity'

The clues soon link back to one of the long-standing suspects. Robert del Naza traveled to Ukraine around the same time that the frescoes appeared. The discovery briefly revived the idea that the composer might be Banksy himself or at least be closely associated with the operations behind the artworks. Yet the investigation ultimately revealed that the real breakthrough was hidden elsewhere, in a piece of paperwork that had lain quietly in an American archive for more than two decades.In September 2000 a young British graffiti artist climbed onto the roof of a building in Manhattan during New York Fashion Week. A large billboard advertising Marc Jacobs clothing stood on the street there. The artist began making changes to the advertisement, adding exaggerated teeth and creating a speech bubble next to the model’s face. Even before the work was completed, the police officers caught him in the act.At the time the incident seemed like a routine case of vandalism. The charges were reduced, a small fine was paid and the man was released. Little did anyone realize that the man standing on that rooftop would soon become one of the most influential artists of the twenty-first century. Yet this case left behind an invaluable scar. Inside the police file was a handwritten confession signed by the person who had defaced the billboard. The signature read Robin Gunningham.The discovery provided the strongest evidence yet that Banksy and Gunningham were the same person. The name had been rumored for years, but police documents turned the speculation into something more concrete. The mysterious street artist whose work spread around the world appears to have started his career as a graffiti painter from Bristol, who was once arrested while vandalizing a billboard in New York.Even this conclusion did not completely resolve the story. After the mid-2000s the public record trace for Robin Gunningham almost completely disappears. Addresses, property documents and other bureaucratic traces disappeared. Former colleagues later suggested that the explanation was straightforward. The artist had changed his legal name. The new identity was intentionally generic, a name that could easily blend into everyday life without attracting attention.In the end Banksy’s story highlights a strange paradox about modern fame. The artist created some of the most widely recognized images in contemporary culture while remaining personally invisible. His works criticized power structures and commercial systems, while those same systems turned his paintings into highly valued commodities. The myth of Banksy became as powerful as the artworks themselves.The investigation which revealed his identity as Robin Gunningham does not completely dispel that myth. The graffiti is still visible throughout the night. Pictures still speak in the same mischievous voice. The artist still avoids public appearances and interviews. What has changed is only the knowledge that behind the legend stands a man who once walked the streets of Bristol with a stencil and a spray can, and discovered that invisibility could be the most powerful artistic tool of all.

Give them a pen and paper and ask them to write Rs 24,000 crore, and they won’t even be able to do that,” he said.The 166 km long corridor with an investment of approximately Rs 22,860 crore is expected to significantly improve connectivity between Meghalaya and Assam. Speaking on the occasion, Chief Minister of the poll-bound state Himanta Biswa Sarma said, “Elections are round the corner in Assam. On behalf of the people of Barak Valley and Assam, I want to convey this message to the Prime Minister: The people of Assam will bring back the Modi government.” The Prime Minister is scheduled to hold a rally in Bengal in the afternoon.

India returns to the historic Eden Gardens against Australia in 2001 Test cricket

India performed one of the most memorable comebacks in Test cricket history at the Eden Gardens on 14 March 2001, defeating Australia by 171 runs after being forced to follow on. This match is widely remembered for the partnership between VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid. who changed the course of the game And set a new benchmark in Indian cricket.

Australia, captained by Steve Waugh, had established a strong position at the beginning of the Test. After scoring a total of 445 runs in their first innings, Australia bowled out India for just 171 runs to take a lead of 274 runs. With a 1–0 lead in the series, Waugh enforced the follow-on, putting India under severe pressure as the hosts looked to avoid another defeat.

India’s second innings got off to a bad start, with Sachin Tendulkar out for 10 and being reduced to 115 for 3. VVS Laxman, who had started rebuilding the innings with captain Sourav Ganguly with a 117-run partnership, came in at number six with Rahul Dravid. The pair faced a strong Australian attack led by Glenn McGrath and Shane Warne.

How did Laxman-Dravid defeat the Australian team?

Laxman and Dravid made a 376-run partnership for the fifth wicket, which is considered one of the greatest in Test cricket. Laxman scored 281, setting a new record for the highest individual score by an Indian in Tests at that time, while Dravid displayed composure and determination during a period of extreme pressure, contributing 180 runs from 353 balls.

Both the batsmen neutralized Australia’s bowling challenge by staying at the crease throughout the day and changed India’s fortunes. Due to his efforts, India declared the innings at 657 runs for 7 wickets, which reduced the deficit and set Australia a challenging target of the fourth innings. The partnership between Laxman and Dravid is often cited as the turning point of the match and the series.

India’s bowlers played the main role on the last day. Harbhajan Singh gave a decisive performance, taking 6 wickets for 73 runs, while Sachin Tendulkar supported him by taking 3 wickets for 31 runs. The Australian batting lineup, which had dominated earlier in the series, was unable to withstand the pressure and was out, giving India a dramatic victory.

Commenting on the win and his partnership with Dravid, Laxman said that the Indian team decided to believe in itself and remained patient and resilient even in defeat.

Laxman said, “25 years ago at Eden Gardens, Rahul and I forged a partnership that will always be special. At a moment when the game seemed beyond us, we chose faith, patience and resilience. That stand was not just about runs, but about belief, teamwork and fighting for every session. Grateful to have shared that journey with Rahul and to have been part of a Test that reminded us that a comeback to cricket is always possible.”

The win meant that India became the third team to win a Test after follow-on, placing them in rare company in the history of the game. The result revived Indian cricket, breaking Australia’s record of 16 match wins, and has since been considered a historic achievement in the Border–Gavaskar Trophy.

सिर्फ नाम देखा, रोल नंबर नहीं… यूपीएससी में 113वीं रैंक का दावा निकला गलत, बुलंदशहर की शिखा की बड़ी गलती

उत्तर प्रदेश समाचार: उत्तर प्रदेश के बुलंदशहर जिले से आईएएस बनने की दावेदारी को लेकर चर्चा में आई शिखा गौतम का मामला अब पूरी तरह से साफ हो गया है. जांच में पता चला है कि जिस 113वीं रैंक का दावा किया गया था वह असल में दिल्ली की एक और अभ्यर्थी की है, जिसका नाम भी शिखा है। इस खुलासे के बाद बुलन्दशहर की शिखा और उसके परिवार ने सार्वजनिक रूप से अपनी गलती स्वीकार कर ली है. इससे पहले यह खबर तेजी से फैली थी कि बुलंदशहर की शिखा ने सिविल सेवा परीक्षा में 113वीं रैंक हासिल की है. लेकिन बाद में जांच से पता चला कि नाम देखकर ही उन्होंने मान लिया था कि उनका चयन हो गया है.

नाम देखकर ही मैंने मान लिया कि मेरा चयन हो गया है।
दरअसल, सिविल सेवा परीक्षा के नतीजे घोषित होने के बाद बुलंदशहर की शिखा गौतम ने दावा किया था कि उन्होंने 113वीं रैंक हासिल कर परीक्षा पास की है. यह खबर सोशल मीडिया और स्थानीय स्तर पर तेजी से फैल गई। कई जगहों पर उन्हें बधाई दी गई और उनके परिवार में जश्न का माहौल बन गया. लेकिन बाद में जब रिजल्ट पीडीएफ लिस्ट को ध्यान से देखा गया तो पता चला कि शिखा ने अपना नाम देखकर ही मान लिया था कि उसका चयन हो गया है. उन्होंने रोल नंबर या अन्य विवरण ठीक से जांच नहीं किया। जब सूची में दर्ज रोल नंबर और अन्य जानकारी का मिलान किया गया तो यह स्पष्ट हो गया कि 113वीं रैंक किसी अन्य अभ्यर्थी की है।

दिल्ली की शिखा निकलीं असली उम्मीदवार
जांच के दौरान यह साफ हो गया कि 113वीं रैंक की असली अभ्यर्थी दिल्ली की रहने वाली शिखा हैं. जानकारी के मुताबिक, वह फिलहाल हरियाणा के रोहतक जिले में खंड विकास एवं पंचायत अधिकारी के पद पर कार्यरत हैं. दिल्ली प्रत्याशी की सही जानकारी सामने आई तो बुलंदशहर की शिखा का दावा गलत साबित हुआ। इसके बाद उन्होंने मीडिया के सामने आकर अपनी गलती स्वीकार की.

परिवार ने भी बिना जांच किए सूचना फैला दी
शिखा गौतम ने कहा कि जब उन्होंने रिजल्ट देखा तो वह बहुत उत्साहित थीं. उन्होंने नाम देखकर ही मान लिया कि उनका चयन हो गया है, रोल नंबर नहीं देखा। इसके बाद उन्होंने इसकी जानकारी अपने परिवार और परिचितों को दी, जिससे यह खबर तेजी से फैल गई. इस मामले में शिखा के पिता प्रेमचंद ने भी सफाई दी. उन्होंने कहा कि जब बेटी ने बताया कि उसका चयन हो गया है तो परिवार को उस पर विश्वास हो गया. परिवार ने भी बिना पूरी जांच पड़ताल किए यह जानकारी लोगों तक फैला दी। बाद में जब सच्चाई सामने आई तो उसे अपनी गलती का एहसास हुआ।

अधिकारियों की ओर से कोई प्रतिक्रिया नहीं
इस पूरे मामले पर प्रशासनिक अधिकारियों और बुलंदशहर के जिलाधिकारी से प्रतिक्रिया लेने की कोशिश की गई, लेकिन उनकी ओर से कोई बयान नहीं आया. हालांकि, एसडीएम सदर ने कहा कि ऐसे मामलों में परीक्षा परिणाम के संबंध में आधिकारिक जानकारी की पुष्टि करना जरूरी है. पूरी जांच के बिना दावे करने से भ्रम पैदा हो सकता है। स्थानीय लोगों का कहना है कि यह मामला अब पूरे इलाके में चर्चा का विषय बन गया है.

ऐसा मामला पहले भी सामने आ चुका है
बताया जा रहा है कि इससे पहले भी यूपीएससी की 301वीं रैंक को लेकर ऐसा ही दावा सामने आया था. उस वक्त जांच में बिहार की आकांक्षा का दावा फर्जी पाया गया था, जबकि उत्तर प्रदेश के गाजीपुर की आकांक्षा सिंह को असली उम्मीदवार बताया गया था. क्यूआर कोड स्कैन और आधिकारिक विवरण से उनके चयन की पुष्टि की गई।

Did Trump reject Putin’s Iran deal to end the war? What was the offer?

Did Trump reject Putin's Iran deal to end the war? What was the offer?
Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump (file photo)

Vladimir Putin Can’t you make an offer that Donald Trump won’t reject? During a phone call with Trump this week, Putin proposed that Russia take possession of Iran’s enriched uranium as part of a broader deal tied to ending the ongoing war, Axios reported.According to a scoop from Axios, Trump rejected the offer.The situation in the Middle East worsened after Donald Trump launched a brutal mission against the Tehran regime led by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was later killed. Long frustrated by Iran’s nuclear ambitions, the US-Israeli military strike targeted key nuclear and military sites, leaving Iran weakened and angry and triggering a wave of retaliatory attacks across the Gulf region.Securing Iran’s 450 kilograms of 60%-enriched uranium, which can be converted into weapons-grade material in a matter of weeks and is enough for more than 10 nuclear bombs, remains one of the key objectives for the United States and Israel in the ongoing conflict.In theory, a proposal from Russian President Vladimir Putin could help remove Iran’s nuclear stockpile without the need for American or Israeli troops on the ground. The idea involves Russia taking possession of enriched uranium.Russia already has advanced nuclear capabilities and previously stored Iran’s low-enriched uranium under the 2015 nuclear deal, making it one of the few countries with the technical capacity to handle such material.Putin reportedly raised several ideas about ending the war between the United States and Iran during a phone call with US President Donald Trump on Monday. The uranium custody proposal was one of the suggestions.“This is not the first time this has been offered. It has not been accepted. The US position is that we need to secure the uranium,” a US official told Axios.Russia made similar proposals during US-Iran nuclear talks last May, before the United States and Israel attacked Iran’s nuclear facilities in June, and again in the weeks before the current war.During the last round of talks before the conflict began, Iran rejected the idea of ​​transferring uranium abroad. Instead, Tehran proposed to dilute the enriched uranium within its own facilities under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency.It is not clear whether Iran would now be willing to accept such a proposal.The United States official said, “The President talks to everybody – Xi, Putin, the Europeans, and he is always ready to make a deal. But it has to be a good deal. The President doesn’t make bad deals.”Meanwhile, according to an earlier Axios report, the United States and Israel have also discussed the possibility of sending special forces to Iran in the later stages of the war to secure the nuclear stockpile.US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said at a press conference on Friday that the United States has “several options” for taking control of Iran’s highly enriched uranium.Hegseth said one possible option would be for Iran to voluntarily surrender the stockpiles, a move the United States “would welcome.”He said, “They were not willing to do that in negotiations. I would never tell this group or the world what we are willing to do or how far we are willing to go – but we certainly have options.”However, Trump suggested that securing enriched uranium is not currently a top priority. “We’re not focused on that, but at some point we may be,” he said.The US president also acknowledged for the first time that Russia could assist Iran during the conflict, following reports that Moscow had provided intelligence that could help target US forces.“I think [Putin] They might be getting a little help, yes. And he probably thinks we’re helping Ukraine, right?” Trump said in the Fox interview.“So he says this, and China will say the same thing. It’s like, hey, they do this and we do this, in all fairness.”

Ladakh protests: Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk to be released as govt cancels NSA detention

New Delhi: Center revoked climate activist’s custody on Saturday Sonam Wangchuk The Home Ministry said, with immediate effect by exercising powers under the National Security Act.In a statement issued, the ministry said that “the government is committed to promoting an environment of peace, stability and mutual trust in Ladakh to facilitate constructive and meaningful dialogue with all stakeholders.”“In furtherance of this objective, and after due deliberations, the government has decided to revoke the detention of Shri Sonam Wangchuk with immediate effect, in exercise of the powers available under the National Security Act,” it said.

Do you agree with the government’s decision to cancel the house arrest of Sonam Wangchuk?

“Wangchuk has already served almost half the period of detention under the said Act,” the ministry said in announcing his immediate release.The government said it is actively engaging with stakeholders and community leaders in Ladakh to address the aspirations and concerns of the people of the region.

“The government is actively engaging with various stakeholders and community leaders in Ladakh with a view to address the aspirations and concerns of the people of the region. However, the prevailing atmosphere of bandh and protests is detrimental to the peace-loving character of the society and has adversely impacted various sections of the community including students, job seekers, businesses, tour operators and tourists and the overall economy,” the statement said.This decision of the government comes a few days after the Supreme Court adjourned till March 17 the hearing on the petition challenging the detention of Sonam Wangchuk. The bench of Justices Arvind Kumar and PB Varale made it clear that no further arguments would be heard after that date.The court had also asked the Center whether it could reconsider or review the activist’s detention, noting that “his medical condition is not that good.”During the proceedings, government officials told the court that Wangchuk’s comments had encouraged youth to organize protests similar to the movements seen in Nepal and Bangladesh, and even made reference to uprisings similar to the Arab Spring.The government argued that such statements could lead to instability in the strategically sensitive border area. Authorities also linked him to the violence in Leh on September 24 last year, in which four people were killed and over 160 were injured.Wangchuk was detained under the provisions of the National Security Act following an order issued by the District Magistrate of Leh on September 26, 2025, two days after violent protests broke out in the city demanding statehood for Ladakh and its inclusion under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution.He was taken into preventive custody under the NSA for “maintaining public order” and later shifted to Jodhpur jail.His wife Gitanjali Angmo had approached the Supreme Court challenging the detention. The court first heard the petition on October 6 last year and issued notice to the authorities.

The UAE has issued a new cyber security alert, warning residents, businesses and organizations about the increased risk of “wiper malware”, one of the most destructive forms of malicious software capable of permanently deleting data and corrupting systems.The warning was issued by the UAE Cyber ​​Security Council, which urged users across the country to remain vigilant and strengthen basic digital security practices as cyber threats continue to evolve globally.Unlike many cyberattacks that aim to steal information or demand ransom payment, wiper malware is designed with a single goal: complete destruction of data and disruption of digital services.

Wiper Malware: ‘Delete All’ Virus

Cybersecurity experts describe wiper malware as highly destructive malicious software that intentionally erases files, damages systems, and disrupts operations. Instead of encrypting files and demanding money like ransomware, this malware destroys data completely, often leaving victims unable to recover the system unless they have a backup.Once it has infiltrated a device or network, malware can:

  • Delete or corrupt files
  • damage to the operating system
  • Disable system boot processes
  • Spread across the network and erase connected devices

In severe cases, damage can shut down entire organizations, as systems become unusable and critical data is permanently lost. Due to its destructive nature, experts say wiper malware is often used in cyber warfare, large-scale sabotage or politically motivated cyber attacks.

UAE issues alert for individuals and businesses

The UAE Cyber ​​Security Council stressed the importance of vigilance in protecting digital infrastructure and personal data, warning that the threat could target both individuals and organizations. Officials said awareness and preparedness are key to ensuring the resiliency of digital services and reducing the risk of large-scale cyber disruption.The alert comes as global cyber activity has intensified, with governments warning about increasingly sophisticated malware attacks targeting infrastructure, companies and digital platforms.

How can you protect your data?

To reduce the risk of becoming a victim of devastating cyber attacks, the Council shared several essential cyber security practices.Users and organizations are advised to:

  • Regularly update software and systems to fix vulnerabilities
  • Avoid clicking suspicious links or attachments in emails or messages
  • Securely backup important data and store backups separately
  • Fix security vulnerabilities quickly to prevent exploitation
  • Be alert for unusual system activity or unknown downloads

According to cybersecurity officials, these steps may seem simple but are considered the first line of defense against major cyber threats.

broader context

Cyber ​​threats are growing in scale and sophistication around the world, and the UAE has emphasized cyber security as a key national priority. Officials have already warned that the country faces hundreds of thousands of cyber breaches every day, targeting everything from businesses to critical infrastructure.Experts say destructive malware like Wiper represents a new level of cyber risk because recovery is often impossible without strong backup systems and quick response measures.For this reason, officials are urging organizations and residents to take cybersecurity as seriously as physical security, especially as more services and daily activities are moving online.
