Tech can help solve some of Indias biggest challenges: Microsoft President

New Delhi, Sep 1 (IANS) Microsoft President and Vice Chair Brad Smith on Thursday said that technology can help solve some of India's biggest challenges, like climate change and food security.

Smith, who is in India this week, said the country can take a giant leap via world-class innovations that can help solve global issues.

"I'm in India as the country celebrates 75 years of Independence. It's an exciting time to learn more about how technology can help solve some of India's biggest challenges -- and how India's innovation is shaping the future," tweeted Smith.

A Twitter user from India responded: "Welcome to India, Brad. Food security and climate change are the biggest threat to humanity and I strongly believe India will emerge as a global leader, showcasing how to make the world a better place for everyone".

The Microsoft president earlier met Minister of State for IT and Electronics, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, in the capital.

"Brad Smith, Microsoft India's Anant Maheshwari called on me at my office. Had a discussion around the future of emerging technologies," Chandrasekhar had tweeted.

Smith earlier said that India will become the global superpower in artificial intelligence (AI).

During the 'RAISE 2020' virtual conference on AI inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he applauded the Indian government's efforts in AI development, saying the national strategy on AI is the right foundation.

"AI can revolutionise virtually every part of the economy, and I think in so many ways the countries that move the fastest to deploy AI more quickly than others, will find that they will be accelerating economic growth," he had said.

Last Year, Smith said that India will play an important role in regulating technology.

"In my view, India has really been at the forefront, together with the EU, in advancing principles around digital sovereignty," Smith had said during a media interaction.

Cryptocom accidentally credits more than 7mn to a customer: Heres what happened next

Due to an unfortunate typo, cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com mistakenly issued a customer A$10.5 million ($7.2 million) rather than the expected A$100 ($68), media reports say. Seven months later, when the exchange finally discovered the error, but till then some of the money had already gone, The Verge reported citing the Australian news outlet 7News as saying. The initial transfer occurred in May 2021. However, the exchange only realised the mistake when conducting an audit in December that year, the report said. Thevamanogari Manivel, the customer in question, reportedly transferred the money to a joint account and spent $890,526 on a lavish, five-bedroom mansion for her sister instead of reporting the inaccurate return to the exchange. Now the company's fighting to get its cash back with a lawsuit filed in the Victoria Supreme Court. The court has also ordered Manivel to sell the home and return the money (with interest) to the exchange. The case will resume in court this October.

Google to pay Rs 25 lakh to spot bugs in its open source projects

New Delhi, Aug 31 (IANS) Google has launched a new bug bounty programme where it will award up to $31,337 (nearly Rs 25 lakh) to researchers who spot vulnerabilities in the company's Open Source projects.

Depending on the severity of the vulnerability and the project's importance, rewards will range from $100 to $31,337.

The larger amounts will also go to unusual or particularly interesting vulnerabilities, "so creativity is encouraged," said Google while launching its Open Source Software Vulnerability Rewards Programme (OSS VRP).

As the maintainer of major projects such as Golang, Angular, and Fuchsia, Google is among the largest contributors and users of open source in the world.

Last year, Google saw a 650 per cent year-over-year increase in attacks targeting the open source supply chain.

With the addition of Google's own vulnerability reward programme (VRP), researchers can now be rewarded for finding bugs that could potentially impact the entire open source ecosystem.

The original VRP programme was one of the first in the world and is now approaching its 12th anniversary.

"Over time, our VRP lineup has expanded to include programmes focused on Chrome, Android, and other areas. Collectively, these programs have rewarded more than 13,000 submissions, totalling over $38 million paid," Google said in a statement late on Tuesday.

Google said its OSS VRP is part of "our $10 billion commitment to improving cybersecurity, including securing the supply chain against these types of attacks for both Google's users and open source consumers worldwide".
