Halloween is one of the biggest festivals in Western countries, with the full name All Hallows’ Eve. I t is celebrated annually on October 31, before the Christian feast of All Saints, which marks the end of the harvest and the beginning of the cold winter. This festival originated with the Celts who lived more than 2000 years ago in the territories that are now part of Great Britain, Ireland, and northern France. The Celts believed that on Halloween night, the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead become thin, and the spirits could return to the Earth, which is also the origin of popular practices such as lighting fire and dressing up in spooky costumes during this day.

This is also the time for people to dress up in their favorite characters and show their extraordinary styles, from ghosts, spirits, and...

This article from OctaFX security experts explores the nature of account takeover attacks and advises on how to protect yourself from them. Recent research by Digital Shadows showed that more than 24 billion exposed credential pairings are available for sale online. That is a 65 percent increase from 2020, probably due to more sophisticated malware and social engineering, as well as improved credential sharing. With passwords such as ‘123456’ still accounting for more than one hundred million exposed cases, account takeovers are bound to continue. However, there are ways to avoid them, which we will cover later in the article. First, let’s consider whether account takeover (ATO) is something that everyone really has to worry about. Account takeover: how it happens The ATO attacks are somewhat similar to burglary. Fraudsters or hackers either crack your password using special software- just as burglars do to open the doors of a building – or get it from you through social engi...

Many streets are left submerged under 50-centimetre high floodwater on October 27. Cach Mang Thang Tam street is one of the main roads deeply inundated. Commuters are forced to push their motorbikes slowly as they travel along flooded roads, with disruption causing them to be late for work and school. High floodwater leads to traffic chaos on many streets across the southern city. Many travel on other roads to avoid the high floodwater, although they face traffic jams, causing plenty of difficulties on their way to home. A small alley is submerged in floodwater. The daily lives of local residents turn upside down due to heavy rains and high tides. Tidal water peaks daily from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m. and from 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. Water levels are predicted to reach 2.2 or 2.25 metres over the next three days, a level which may worsen the already serious inundation recorded throughout the city.

War and political instability have created, chaotic flows of refugees and other migrants, and have been one of the foremost causes of national populism. (Express photo by Gajendra Yadav) The world has changed dramatically in the past two years. The two most significant triggers of this change have been the Covid pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. These two events have disrupted the structures of economic globalisation. National policy responses have been less than ideal, with the largest mistake being the US Federal Reserve’s tardiness in combating rising inflation. Their delayed action is shocking the global system even further. Even before these shocks, there was mounting concern about the effects of globalisation on the livelihoods who were not well equipped to benefit from increased competition and rapid technological innovation. Populist nationalism was rearing its ugly head, even in seemingly liberal democracies like the United States and United Kingdom. ...
