Guj: Elderly woman robbed, killed at housing society in Vadodara Unidentified assailants stabbed a 71-year-old woman to death and stole her valuables in a residential building in Gujarats Vadodara city in the early hours of Sunday, police said. The incident occurred in a housing society in the Tarsali Road area around 4 am, an official from Makarpura police station said. The victim, Sukhjitkaur, and her husband, Harwinder Singh Kambo (73), lived alone in their apartment, he said. The official said the power supply to their flat was cut off in the wee hours, and the victim woke up and found out that the neighbouring flats had electricity. Just as she came out of the flat, unidentified assailants attacked the woman with a sharp weapon, stole her jewellery and fled, leaving her injured, he said. When the husband came out, he found the woman lying in a pool of blood and cried for help and alerted the neighbours, the official said. The injured woman was rushed to a private hospital, where she died due to excessive bleeding, he said. Teams from the local police, city crime branch and forensics were involved in the investigation, police commissioner Narsimha Komar said. ''Officials from the local police and crime branch have inspected the area, including the place from where the assailants entered and disconnected the power supply,'' he said.

Breaking! Seven Feared Drowned in Narmada River; Search Underway

A heartbreaking incident unfolded at Poicha in Gujarat's Narmada district as seven members of a family, including children, are feared drowned in the Narmada River. The devastating event occurred yesterday when they were reportedly swept away by the strong currents of the river. Local divers from the National Disaster Rescue Force (NDRF) and the Vadodara fire team have commenced a rigorous search operation to locate the missing individuals. Despite their efforts, no signs of the victims have been found thus far. According to reports, the victims were part of a group visiting Poicha from Surat, situated on the border of Vadodara and Narmada districts. The tragedy struck on Tuesday morning, prompting swift action from authorities. Responding to the urgent situation, a unit of the 6BN NDRF from Jarod in Vadodara district promptly arrived at Poicha to aid in the search operation. Poicha, known for its scenic beauty, particularly during summer, attracts visitors for picnics and swimming in the Narmada River. Recent measures by the Narmada district administration have prohibited local boat operators from ferrying passengers without proper licensing. Despite regulations, boatmen continue to operate on the Vadodara district side of the river, raising concerns about safety protocols. Authorities are yet to provide further details as investigations into the incident continue. The community awaits updates on the tragic event, hoping for some positive news amidst the sorrow.

LockBit ransomware group claims cyber attacks on two Kerala-based companies

KOCHI: The dreaded Russian ransomware LockBit has claimed that it has successfully hacked into the computer systems of two Kerala-based companies. LockBit ransomware on its dark web portal declared that it has hit four Indian companies, including Thrissur-based Double Horse, which is into food production, and garment production company V-Star based in Ernakulam. Other companies on their list are Hyderabad-based pharma company Hetero and automobile parts manufacturer Vikrant Group from Vadodara. As part of its claim, there are pictures of bank account details, invoices, purchase orders, supply details, content on computer drives and driving licences of employees posted on its dark web portal. Prima facie, from the shared pictures, it seems that LockBit ransomware has hit the individual computers or laptops of employees. LockBit penetrates computers linked to various companies and locks the system demanding a ransom. In case the ransom is not paid, they lock the computer system permanently and dump the accessed data into the dark web. IT officials of V-Star said they came to know about a cyber attack recently. There was a cyber attack on our attendance system. We are rectifying it now. But our operations are unaffected as we follow a cloud-based system, a V-Star official said. Double Horse is yet to respond to the incident. While there is no information about the amount demanded, the hackers have given May 15 as the deadline for paying the ransom. The information about the data breach was shared by a private cyber security firm Falconfeeds.io on its social media handles on Saturday. Nandakishore Harikumar, CEO of Falconfeeds.io said the gravity of the data breach is not yet known. We dont know whether the data breach has in any way affected these companies. However, sometimes, this ransomware gets access to sensitive information about the companies. Though there are guidelines from the Centre to inform the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team in case of data breaches, many companies do not know about them. Some do not even report it to the police, he said. LockBit was responsible for around 20% of ransomware attacks last year, targeting several international firms like Royal Mail, UKs National Health Service, Boeing and numerous international banks. In February this year, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), along with other international law enforcement agencies, disrupted the operations of LockBit by taking down its dark web operations. However, LockBit revived with the 3.0 version (LockBit Black) recently and intensified its cyber-attacks across the globe. Last week, the US announced a $10 million bounty on Russian national Dimitry Yuryevich Khoroshev who is the developer and administrator of LockBit ransomware. According to reports, 22 companies from India were targeted by LockBit ransomware last year. LockBit is one of the most notorious ransomware operational now. They hack into the systems of around 20 companies a day and put their names on their dark web portal. LockBit combines with other hackers and operates as an organised group. They make use of vulnerabilities in computer systems and hack them. Last year, they claimed to have received $120 million as ransom which was channelled via bitcoins. Often weak security systems lead to such breaches. Several companies do not even have an updated Operating System (OS) and they are vulnerable to such cyber attacks, he said.
