India's industrial production grows 3.8% in January

New Delhi [India], March 12 (ANI): The latest data released by the <keyword id="20070866" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="national-statistical-office" source="keywords">National Statistical Office</keyword> (<keyword id="20067517" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="nso" source="keywords">NSO</keyword>), under the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI), indicates a slight easing in retail inflation for the month of February 2024. According to the provisional figures provided by the NSO, the retail inflation, based on the Consumer Price Index (General), stood at 5.09 per cent in February 2024. This marks a marginal decrease from 5.10 per cent recorded in January 2024. The combined inflation rate for rural and urban areas came down to 5.09 per cent from the previous month's 5.10 per cent. The data further reveals that the <keyword id="20931744" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="consumer-food-price" source="keywords">Consumer Food Price</keyword> Index (<keyword id="20931745" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="cfpi" source="keywords">CFPI</keyword>) witnessed a similar trend, with a slight decrease from 8.30 per cent in January 2024 to 8.21 per cent in February 2024. Both rural and urban areas experienced a dip in food inflation, indicating a marginal relief for consumers across the board. The monthly changes in the General Indices and CFPIs show a negligible increase of 0.16 per cent in the combined CPI (General) and 0.11 per cent in the CFPI from January 2024 to February 2024. This indicates a relatively stable price movement in essential goods and services during the said period. The NSO collects price data from a vast sample size, covering both rural and urban markets across all states and union territories. During February 2024, data was collected from 100 per cent of villages and 98.5 per cent of urban markets. The comprehensive coverage ensures that the inflation figures are representative of the diverse consumption patterns across the country. In terms of the subgroup analysis, notable trends were observed in various categories. Cereals and products, meat and fish, and egg prices showed moderate increases, contributing to the overall inflation rate. On the other hand, certain items like oils and fats experienced a decline in prices, exerting downward pressure on inflation. The NSO has also provided state-wise inflation data, highlighting the varying price dynamics across different regions. States like <keyword id="19896313" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="andhra-pradesh" source="keywords">Andhra Pradesh</keyword>, Telangana, and <keyword id="19896558" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="tamil-nadu" source="keywords">Tamil Nadu</keyword> recorded relatively higher inflation rates, while states like Delhi and Maharashtra witnessed a more subdued inflationary environment. Looking ahead, the NSO has announced that the next release of CPI data for March 2024 is scheduled for April 12, 2024. This continued transparency in reporting inflation figures enables policymakers and stakeholders to make informed decisions regarding monetary and fiscal policies. (ANI)

The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/12/03/israel-nso-pegasus-hack-us-diplomats/">reported</a> that 11 officials were alerted by Apple in recent months that their phones had been hacked with the NSO software, which is known as Pegasus. "If our investigation shall show these actions indeed happened with NSO's tools, such customer will be terminated permanently and legal actions will take place," an NSO spokesperson told Reuters. The spokesperson added that the company will "cooperate with any relevant government authority and present the full information we will have."In a statement to Insider, an NSO spokesperson said, "Once the inquiry was received, and before any investigation under our compliance policy, we have decided to immediately terminate relevant customers' access to the system, due to the severity of the allegations. To this point, we haven't received any information nor the phone numbers, nor any indication that NSO's tools were used in this case.""To clarify, the installation of our software by the customer occurs via phone numbers. As stated before, NSO's technologies are blocked from working on US (+1) numbers. Once the software is sold to the licensed customer, NSO has no way to know who the targets of the customers are, as such, we were not and could not have been aware of this case," the spokesperson added. Researchers believe Pegasus systems can break into smartphone devices via multiple routes, some of which need no action by the smartphone owner, and grant the hacker access to call records, photos, and web browser histories or even turn the phone into a listening device.A State Department spokesperson in a statement to Insider said the department could not confirm the report but added that it "takes seriously its responsibility to safeguard its information and continuously takes steps to ensure information is protected.""Like every large organization with a global presence, we closely monitor cybersecurity conditions, and are continuously updating our security posture to adapt to changing tactics by adversaries," the spokesperson added."As part of its commitment to put human rights at the center of U.S. foreign policy, the Biden-Harris Administration is taking action to stem the proliferation and misuse of digital tools used for repression. This effort is aimed at improving citizens' digital security, combating cyber threats, and mitigating unlawful surveillance," the spokesperson said, pointing to the administration's recent blacklisting of the NSO Group. Last month, the US Commerce Department blacklisted NSO and another Israeli firm, Candiru. The Israeli firms were blacklisted "based on evidence that these entities developed and supplied spyware to foreign governments that used these tools to maliciously target government officials, journalists, businesspeople, activists, academics, and embassy workers," the department said in a statement. NSO Group's spyware has allegedly <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/military-grade-spyware-company-used-to-hack-journalists-activists-executives-2021-7">targeted</a> the smartphones of journalists and dissidents, including those <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jamal-khashoggi-friend-omar-abdulaziz-suing-israeli-nso-group-for-spying-2018-12">close to</a> the late Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who was murdered in a Saudi consulate in 2018.In a statement on Friday, the National Security Council said, "We have been acutely concerned that commercial spyware like NSO Group's software poses a serious counterintelligence and security risk to US personnel, which is one of the reasons why the Biden-Harris Administration has placed several companies involved in the development and proliferation of these tools on the Department of Commerce's Entity List."Apple has also sued the NSO Group for allegedly targeting and surveilling iPhone users with the Pegasus spyware. The Israeli embassy told Reuters that using spyware on US officials would represent a "severe violation" of its rules.

State Department phones were hacked with software from Israel-based company: report

Tech giant <keyword id="6354427" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="apple" source="Orion">Apple</keyword> has filed a lawsuit against the Israel-based company <keyword id="3598670" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="nso-group" source="Orion">NSO Group</keyword>, the developer of infamous <keyword id="6389936" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="pegasus" source="Orion">Pegasus</keyword> spyware, seeking a permanent injunction to ban <keyword id="2501810" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="nso" source="Orion">NSO</keyword> Group from using any Apple software, services or devices. The company admitted that a small number of its users may have been targeted by a NSO Group's exploit to install Pegasus on Apple devices. "State-sponsored actors like the NSO Group spend millions of dollars on sophisticated surveillance technologies without effective accountability. That needs to change," said Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of Software Engineering. "Apple devices are the most secure consumer hardware on the market -- but private companies developing state-sponsored spyware have become even more dangerous," he said in a statement late on Tuesday. Apple's complaint provides new information on NSO Group's 'FORCEDENTRY', an exploit for a now-patched vulnerability previously used to break into a victim's Apple device and install the latest version of NSO Group's spyware product, Pegasus. The exploit was originally identified by the Citizen Lab, a research group at the University of Toronto. "The spyware was used to attack a small number of Apple users worldwide with dangerous malware and spyware," the company informed. Apple said it is notifying the small number of users that it discovered may have been targeted by 'FORCEDENTRY'. Apple follows WhatsApp and its parent company Meta (formerly Facebook) in suing Pegasus spyware maker NSO Group. The Apple lawsuit also seeks redress for NSO Group's flagrant violations of the US federal and state law, arising out of its efforts to target and attack Apple and its users. To further strengthen efforts against cyber attacks, Apple said it will be contributing $10 million, as well as any damages from the lawsuit, to organisations pursuing cyber-surveillance research and advocacy.
