And our poor sap fell for it hook, line, and sinker. But hey, he’s not alone. India’s cyber fraud losses hit a staggering ₹22,495 crore in 2025, and the recovery rate?

In a joint interpretation that reads like a poorly written fairy tale, the agencies have outlined how these crypto critters fit (or don’t fit) under federal securities laws. The highlight? Most crypto assets, they say, are as much securities as a chocolate teapot is useful. Brilliant, isn’t it?
A new framework leverages federated learning, knowledge graphs, and temporal transformers to improve early sepsis detection across multiple intensive care units.
