    India was the second most targeted country when it comes to cyberattacks in Asia according to a report by IBM. Last year, a report by Niti Aayog suggested that phishing and social engineering account for 57% of the attacks followed by malware attacks, DoS and ransomware. It was also reported that the majority of the attacks came from China and other countries such as Russia, Pakistan, Ukraine, Vietnam and North Korea.

    However, now according to Sudeep Das, Security Software Technical Sales Leader, IBM Technology Sales, India and South Asia, ransomware was the top attack type in the country where it rose to an astounding 40% share. Ransomware usually involves stealing, encrypting and using threats to leak personal data unless the ransom isn’t paid. 

    The most common form of ransomware used is called “Sodinokibi” where it exploits an Oracle WebLogic vulnerability to gain access to the victim’s hardware. The ransomware then tries to execute itself by elevating user rights so that it can access all files and resources on the system. The ransomware also has the ability to wipe out all files in the backup folder as well. So far, it is estimated that Sodinokibi has stolen around 21TB of data and leaked about 43% of the data. The group has managed to successfully earn $123 million in the past year according to IBM's 2021 X-Force Threat Intelligence Index.

    According to IBM’s report, India’s finance and insurance sector were the most attacked industries consisting of 60 per cent of the attacks. While the attacks took place throughout 2020, most of the attacks were detected in the months of May and July. Cybercriminals also used public health information to lure victims and carry out attacks on the vaccine supply chain. 

    “The 2020 threat landscape in India was largely shaped by the pandemic. As the pandemic’s timeline of events and progress unfolded, so did attack trends shift," Sudeep Das, security software technical sales leader, IBM Technology Sales, India/South Asia said in a statement.

    Having said that, top technology companies such as Google, Dropbox and Microsoft were also targeted during the pandemic. E-Commerce websites like Amazon and Paypal weren’t spared either as the companies made the top 10 list of targeted websites.

    On the renaming of the stadium, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said, “As CM, he used to say Gujaratis must also progress in two fields - sports & armed forces. He took charge of GCA on my request & promoted sports here. His vision was that the world's largest cricket stadium be built here. This 1,32,000-seater stadium will be known as Narendra Modi Stadium.”

    He also went on to add, “Coupled with Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Sports Enclave & Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera, a sports complex will also be built in Naranpura. These three will be equipped to host any international sports event. Ahmedabad to be known as the 'sports city' of India.”
    The stadium is spread over 63 acres and has a total of 76 corporate boxes, an Olympic-level swimming pool, an indoor academy, four dressing rooms for athletes, and food courts.
    After the renaming of the stadium, people started reacting on social media and they stand divided over the whole thing. Some are okay with it while some didn’t this was the perfect thing to do.
    Here are the reactions:
    Gujarat has become one of the best states in india whether librals like it or not

    — Raju Shaikh (@RajuSha35976694) February 24, 2021@AmitShah ji - Naming Ahmedabad as 'sports city of India' is fine, but naming the stadium in Motera as Narendra Modi stadium is too much. Don't allow @BJP4India to fall into the same trap of @INCIndia in re-christening everything with few selected leaders name.
    — Raju (@nbrengaraju) February 24, 2021It’s set to be the largest cricket stadium in the world with a capacity of 1,32,000 and it will be hosting the pink-ball Test between India and England from Wednesday.
    It’s the first time that the field of an Indian cricket stadium has the facility of LED lights. Not just this, the Narendra Modi stadium is the only stadium in the world to have 11 center pitches on the main ground.
    What do you have to say about renaming the stadium? Let us know in the comments section below.

    Ranveer Singh is called a sartorial chameleon for all the right reasons. 

    For as long as anyone can remember, the Padmaavat star has been working some zany ensembles and has been giving everyone else in the industry a run for their money with his bold fashion choices. 
    His fierceness and zealous attitude are explicitly seen in the outfits he wears. 
    From wearing bright flared pants to stepping out in a pair of dirty shoes, he has managed to retain the tag of a fashion aficionado in Bollywood.

    Another undeniable fact about Singh is that he is also a massive sneakerhead. Take a look at some of his past appearances and you will know what we mean.

    By now, we are fully trained to not be stumped anymore looking at his appearances, but he still manages to take us by surprise, sometimes. 

    Case in point: his recent appearance, where he was seen yet again wearing an outstanding pair of sneakers.
    Take a look:
    © Adidas
    Ranveer is seen wearing Adidas Originals Unisex Y-3 Yohji Star Shoes. These sneakers project pure Adidas DNA with their exaggerated silhouette. 

    The Yohji star is an iconic Superstar shoe, that adds a classic vibe with its bulkier aesthetic. These shoes are made in smooth leather and come with the Yohji Yamamoto signature scrawled along the side.

    Ranveer is usually seen in sneakers that are highly-priced. These shoes too cost almost Rs 25,000. For a pair so quirky, we think these are totally worth it.

    What also impressed us was the outfit Ranveer was seen wearing with his wife Deepika Padukone. 

    He opted for an all-black outfit and was seen wearing an oversized hoodie paired with black cargo pants. The outfit looks in sync and is very chic. The black baseball cap and opaque sunglasses add more appeal to the aesthetics of this look. 
    The fact that he is wearing a regular, super basic outfit has actually made us pretty happy since it's a rare sight to see Ranveer in such understated looks. 
    This makes it more relatable and the sneakers? They are, without a doubt, a cool way to inject an oomph factor into a casual outfit.

    One of the most celebrated bowlers of the Indian cricket team in Test cricket, Ishant Sharma becomes only the second Indian fast-bowler after 1983 World Cup-winning skipper Kapil Dev, to have played in 100 international Test cricket matches with the third Test between India and England at Ahmedabad’s Motera Stadium.

    In the history of Indian cricket, only 10 other players have achieved this feat. 
    However, in a video interview with teammate Ravichandran Ashwin, the bowling veteran spoke about how Mahendra Singh Dhoni missed out on the 100-Test match mark for completely selfless reasons.
    “Although he (Dhoni) was close to 100 Tests, he was always a team man. I remember he told me when we were in England that it is not important for him to play hundred Tests. Instead, he felt that we need to start grooming (Wriddhiman) Saha. That’s why he took the sudden decision to retire, I feel,” Ishant Sharma told Ashwin.

    Reliving his relationship with ‘Captain Cool,’ Sharma shared yet another story from his time as a teammate with Dhoni during the latter’s final red-ball match. 
    It was the Boxing Day Test at Australia’s Melbourne Cricket Ground during India’s 2014-15 tour Down Under.
    Troubled by chronic pains in his knees, Sharma was forced to take pain-killing injections between his bowling spells but when the agony got too overwhelming, he had to get himself sidelined from the rest of the match after informing his then-captain, Dhoni.
    News Alert - MS Dhoni has chosen to retire from Test Cricket with immediate effect #MSD #Captain
    — BCCI (@BCCI) December 30, 2014
    What happened next would turn out to be one of the biggest regrets in the bowler’s life for the rest of his active career as an Indian cricketer.
    “I felt very bad (on MS Dhoni’s retirement). I had taken many injections for that Melbourne Test match because I was experiencing severe pain in my knee. I did not know that Mahi bhai was going to retire. In fact, nobody knew that he was going to retire. So, I was taking an injection every session,” Ishant added.
    “When it was almost Tea on Day 4, and Australia were about to declare I told Mahi Bhai that I cannot take injections anymore. So, he told me, that’s okay. You don’t need to bowl now. Then something happened, and he told me, ‘lambu tune mujhe Test match mein chhod diya’ (you have deserted me in a Test match). I did not understand. Then he elaborated, ‘you left me midway in my last Test match’.
    “I was stunned. I told him if I knew I would definitely have continued to play. So that was a really touching story. I didn’t know till the last day that he was retiring,” he concluded.

    Brazil's football legend and three-time World Cup winner Pele admitted that despite being married three times, he has had more affairs than he could count and isn't even aware of how many kids he fathered while often being unaware of their existence. 

    Yes, you read that right. 
    “In all honesty, I’ve had a few affairs, some of which resulted in children, but I’ve only learned about them later,” Pele said in the most-awaited Netflix documentary on his life titled Pele.

    Among all the known kids, Pele fathered seven kids including daughter Sandra Machado whom Pele didn't recognise as his child despite the court's ruling in 1996 that said she was his daughter. 

    For the unversed, Pele fathered five kids from first two marriages —  wives Rosemeri dos Reis Cholbi and Assiria Lemos Seixas —  and the kids were namely Kelly (50), Edinho (50), Jennifer (42), and twins Joshua and Celeste (24).  
    Pele further claimed, in the controversial documentary, that all his wives and girlfriends were aware of his infidelity. He said, “My first wife, first girlfriend, knew about it. I never lied.”

    Sandra, who died from ­cancer in 2006, was the result of an illicit romance with housemaid Anisia Machado. An affair in 1968 with journalist Lenita Kurtz produced his daughter Flavia, 52. 

    “My first wife, first girlfriend, knew about it. I never lied,” Pele revealed. 
    While that may be true, playing the field was a one-way street for Pele. 
    © Twitter
    Maria da Graca Xuxa — a 57-year-old former model who started seeing Pele when she was just 17 — revealed last month, “He said it was an open ­relationship, but open only to him.” 

    In the Netflix film, simply entitled Pele, the South American legend has candidly revealed several details of his life which could be a bittersweet experience for his fans.

    Social media, if used correctly, can change lives of people who are in need and who deserve to be celebrated. A week ago, the story of an auto-rickshaw driver, Desraj, from Mumbai had gone viral. For the uninitiated, Desraj revealed that after losing both his sons, it was his responsibility to provide for his grandchildren and daughters-in-law that gave him the strength to keep going.  
    When his granddaughter, then in 9th standard, asked him if she would have to quit school as they were dealing with a major financial crunch, he started working longer hours - leaving home at 6 AM and driving his auto till midnight to earn around Rs 10,000 a month. Things got tougher when the granddaughter said that she wanted to travel to Delhi for a B.Ed course. He had a fair idea that he won’t be able to afford it. To fulfill her desire to pursue higher education, he sold his house. "I can't wait for her to become a teacher so that I can hug her and say, 'You've made me so proud.' She's going to be the first graduate in our family," Mr. Desraj told Humans Of Bombay.
    View this post on InstagramThis story touched many hearts as people empathized with his situation and saluted his will-power. 
    After the story went viral, people came forward to support him. A crowdfunding initiative, that wanted to raise Rs 20 lakh for Desraj, eventually ended up collecting Rs24 lakh for him and the cheque for the amount was handed over to him. A Facebook user named Gunjan Ratti started this fundraiser for Mr. Desraj.
    He was so happy and celebrated this big occasion in the ‘Pawri’ style and accepted the cheque with a huge smile on his face. “The support Desraj Ji has received is immense! Because you all went out of your way to help him, he now has a roof over his head, and will be able to educate his granddaughter! Thank you so much," the Humans Of Bombay page wrote.
