Volt Typhoon est une campagne parrainée par l’Etat chinois. Elle utilise un bogue provenant d’une startup californienne pour attaquer des entreprises internet indiennes et américaines. < Back Un groupe de pirates informatiques chinois s’en prend aux entreprises indiennes et américaines Volt Typhoon est une campagne parrainée par l’Etat chinois. Elle utilise un bogue provenant d’une startup californienne pour attaquer des entreprises internet indiennes et américaines. À ce jour, Volt Typhoon a attaqué une entreprise en Inde en raison d'une vulnérabilité de Versa Networks et quatre sociétés Internet américaines, dont un fournisseur d'accès à Internet. Les Etats-Unis ont accusé Volt Typhoon d’infiltrer des réseaux qui contrôlent des services américains essentiels, notamment l’eau, l’électricité et les installations de communication. Versa fabrique des logiciels de configuration de réseaux. Elle a lancé une solution d’urgence pour le bogue à la fin du mois de juin, mais l’a annoncée en juillet après une violation. Selon la base de données nationale des vulnérabilités, il s’agit d’un bogue critique. L’annonce de ce bogue soulevé des inquiétudes quant à la vulnérabilité des infrastructures critiques américaines aux cyberattaques. L’agence américaine pour la cybersécurité et la sécurité des infrastructures a notifié aux agences fédérales de résoudre le problème ou de cesser d’utiliser les produits de Versa avant le septembre 13.

L’année dernier, les Etats ont mis en place une règlementation visant à arrêter NVIDIA de vendre des puces avancées aux consommateurs chinois à cause de sécurité nationale. < Back Huawei prépare une puce d’IA pour concurrencer NVIDIA en Chine L’année dernier, les Etats ont mis en place une règlementation visant à arrêter NVIDIA de vendre des puces avancées aux consommateurs chinois à cause de sécurité nationale. En 2023, après le diktat des régulateurs américains, NVIDIA a cessé de vendre des puces avancées H100 aux chinois. Trois nouvelles puces, dont la H20, ont été introduites avec des prouesses informatique moindres, en particulier pour les consommateurs chinois. Pour rivaliser avec NVIDIA, l’entreprise informatique chinoise Huawei construit ses puces d’intelligence artificielle et commencera à les expédier en octobre. Les compagnies d’nternet et des télécommunications examinent ces puces Ascend 910C. Selon Huawei, la puce est comparable à la H100 de NVIDIA. Des firmes telles que ByteDance (fabricant de TikTok), China Mobile et Baidu examineront les puces chinoises. Selon un rapport de Wall Street Journal, les commandes pourraient excéder les 70 000 puces et avoisiner les 2 milliards de dollars. Si ses puces ont du succès, Huawei modifiera la dynamique concurrentielle en Chine, qui impactera tous les fabricants de puces d’IA, y compris NVIDIA sur ce marché. Previous Next

L’industrie pétrolière et gazière a contribué à hauteur d’environ 23 millions de dollars à la campagne électorale de Trump et de plus de 219 millions de dollars pour influencer l’élection. < Back Après les lois sur l’environnement, ce sont les Climat Superfund Law qui sont dans le collimateur de Trump ? L’industrie pétrolière et gazière a contribué à hauteur d’environ 23 millions de dollars à la campagne électorale de Trump et de plus de 219 millions de dollars pour influencer l’élection. Trump a accédé aux demandes de l’industrie des combustibles fossiles, notamment en annulant les règlementations environnementales, en offrant davantage de terres américaines pour les forages et en aidant l’industrie à exporter davantage de gaz naturel. Son bureau a également annulé les décrets relatifs au changement climatique et à la justice environnementale, arrête le financement des projets d’énergie renouvelable et déclenché une « urgence énergétique nationale » pour encourager l’extraction des combustibles fossiles. En 2024, le Vermont et le New York ont adopté des lois sur les fonds social pour le climat (SCF) qui imposent la perception de droits auprès des entreprises dépendantes des combustibles fossiles afin de les aider à couvrir les couts liés à l’environnement et aux infrastructures. Le projet de loi prévoit une amende annuelle de 3 milliards de dollars pour les entreprises de combustibles fossiles pendant 25 ans, qui sera affectée aux efforts d’adaptation au changement climatique.

Poppi a été poursuivi en justice en 2024 pour ne pas avoir une teneur suffisante en prébiotiques pour améliorer la sante intestinale. < Back Pepsi achète le soda Poppi pour 1,95 milliard de dollars Poppi a été poursuivi en justice en 2024 pour ne pas avoir une teneur suffisante en prébiotiques pour améliorer la sante intestinale. Après Culture Pop, Olipop et Simply Pop par Coke, Pepsi s’apprête à se lancer dans l’industrie des sodas prébiotiques. Pepsi a annoncé l’acquisition de Poppi lundi, mais n’a pas encore finalisé la vente. En juin 2024, Kristen Cobbs, de San Francisco, a intenté un procès à VNGR Beverage LLC, le fabricant de Poppi, basé au Texas. Le recours collectif affirme qu'une boîte de Poppi ne contient que 2 grammes de fibres prébiotiques. Cela signifie qu'il faudrait consommer au moins quatre Poppis par jour pour bénéficier des avantages potentiels pour la santé. Cependant, une boîte de Poppi contient jusqu’à 5 grammes de sucre et jusqu’à 35 calories, et l’apport en sucre peut être plus nocif. En 2018, Poppi a conclu un accord avec Rohan Oza sur Shark Tank. Rohan a acheté 25 % des parts pour 400 000 dollars. En 2024, Poppi a enregistré un chiffre d’affaires de 100 millions de dollars. Elle détient 19 % des parts du marché américain, soit 1,5 fois plus que Coke. Ne manquez pas un autre article de SalestorrsNouvelles150.

< Back Movies no longer getting OTT deals until the theatrical release 6 May 2024 Some high-profile movies lost their OTT deals after box office failures. From the early to mid-2000s, TV platforms like Sony, Star, Viacom18, and Zee engaged in a bidding war to secure a movie’s streaming rights, sometimes before it went into production. OTT followed the same practice. Online streaming platforms offered a price based on the box office figures of the lead actor’s last movie. Since projections are not working now, OTT platforms are striking staggered deals in parts. They pay a percentage before theatrical release, and the contracts offer them the option to terminate the agreement in case of commercial failure. OTT platforms still buy big titles at a negotiated price but refrain from absorbing duds in their catalogue. They also decline deals on the grounds that films do not meet their standards. Until 2022, movies were released online within four weeks of theatrical launch, which was increased to eight weeks from August 1st, 2022. Previous Next

PhonePe also started supporting UPI transactions in Singapore, UAE, Nepal, Bhutan, and Mauritius. Previous Next

< Back Tata Motors splits commercial and passenger vehicle businesses 5 Mar 2024 Its passenger vehicle business includes UK-based luxury car unit Jaguar Land Rover (JLR). Tata Motors decided to split commercial and passenger vehicle businesses into separate entities to enhance focus and efficiency and leverage the different opportunities offered by each vertical. The demerger may take between 12 to 15 months to complete. After the split, one company will house all passenger(PV) and electric vehicles (EV), JLR businesses, and all related investments. The commercial vehicles and associated investments will be pulled under another brand name. On January 30th, 2024, Tata Motors overtook Maruti Suzuki to become the country’s most valuable vehicle manufacturer after seven years. It is also the market leader in the commercial vehicles (CV) domain, where it manufactures trucks, vans, and buses. JLR currently accounts for 70% of Tata Motor’s overall revenue. It helped the company report its first annual profit in the Financial Year 2022-2023 after five years. This demerger reflects Tata’s confidence in its PV vertical to thrive in that domain.

< Back Musk’s X sues Indian govt for unlawful content regulation 21 Mar 2025 The microblogging site moved the Karnataka High Court, alleging arbitrary censorship by the central and state governments. X accused the government of controlling online content without judicial oversight. The lawsuit raises concerns over the central government’s interpretation of Section 79(3)(b) of the Information Technology (IT) Act 2000. X maintains these notifications ignore the procedural safeguards set by the Supreme Court under Section 69A, which allows the Central government to order the blocking of content if deemed necessary for sovereignty, security, public order, or to prevent incitement. It argues that Section 79(3)(b) simply allows the government to hold the service providers and social media apps liable to remove unlawful content promptly. Reports suggest the government orders under Section 79(3)(b) were notifications about illegal content, not direct blocking orders. X also opposes the government’s centralised ‘Sahyog’ platform for issuing such notices, calling it a ‘censorship portal’. In 2022, X sued the government over blocking orders under Section 69A, claiming that the orders violated the right to free speech. Never miss another post from SalestorrsNews150.

< Back India to fund Maldives’ largest water and sanitation project in 28 islands 13 Aug 2024 The External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar inaugurated the water and sanitation project worth ₹923 crore and introduced UPI there. S Jaishankar signed many Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) and virtually inaugurated six High Impact Community Development Projects (HICDPs) in the areas of mental health, speech therapy, special education, and street lighting. The MoUs focused on capacity building for 1,000 more civil servants in India and launching the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) in the Maldives. With Maldives President Dr Mohamed Muizzu and Foreign Minister Fathulla Jameel, S Jaishankar inaugurated the water project in 28 islands backed by India’s Line of Credit. India’s relations with Maldives strained after the Muizzu government came in September 2023, which was inclined towards strengthening their relations with China over India. Derogatory remarks against Narendra Modi, pushing withdrawal of Indian military personnel from Maldives, and a social media war impacted the relations further. In the July 2024 budget, India reduced the grants to Maldives to ₹400 crore, which is ₹200 crore less than announced in February. Previous Next

< Back Indian govt may allow commercial usage of airport land 11 Mar 2025 It is considering amending the Airports Authority of India (AAI) Act, 1994, to permit non-aviation linked businesses on the airport land. If the Indian government goes through with the amendment to the AAI Act, it will allow private operators to establish commercial hubs on the airport land and offer non-aviation linked services. This could include shopping hubs, centres for corporate events and conferences and offices around airports. The Civil Aviation Ministry is conducting inter-ministerial discussions, which could lead to a bill being introduced in the Parliament. This entire effort is part of the broader plan to privatise 11 airports in tier II cities, including Amritsar, Bhubaneshwar, Varanasi, and Raipur, by the end of FY2026. The amendment will maintain restrictions on polluting activities, while unlocking a prime land parcel for commercial projects from the private sector. Chapter 3, Section 12 of the AAI Act,1994, allows commercial activities at airports limited to hotels, restaurants, and warehouses; other real estate development is not allowed. The government will keep land usage provisions flexible. Never miss another post from SalestorrsNews150. Follow Salestorrs on WhatsApp , LinkedIn , Facebook , X , and Instagram . Previous Next

< Back Govt mandates full disclosure on all packaged items in retail 16 Jul 2024 Irrespective of the quantity, every packaged item in the retail market must carry complete product details, like ingredients, price, place of origin, and key dates. According to the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011, packaged products of more than 25 kg sold in the retail market are exempt from including relevant details on the labels. This is because of the common understanding that commodities above 25 kg were not meant for retail use. The government plans to amend these rules to mandate this disclosure for all commodities, irrespective of size and weight. Mandatory details will include the commodity's common or generic name, maximum retail price, unit sale price, month and year of production, best before or use by date, net quantity, name and address of the manufacturer, importer, packer, and country of origin. With this move, the government aims to standardise the rules and regulations surrounding packaged items and establish consistency and remove bias across brands and their products. However, the new rules will not apply to packaged goods meant for industrial or institutional customers. Previous Next
