Increase in social media profiles being hacked
COLOMBO (News 1st); In recent days there has been an increase in social media profiles being hacked or prominent figures being impersonated on social media.News 1st reached out to Meta, the parent company of Instagram and Facebook, but we're yet to receive a response.Danu Innasithamby is one prominent figure who found multiple fake profiles created using his pictures. Danu Innasithamby said his immediate profile picture and last four to five posts were used in the fake accounts, which led to people believing that it was him.Messages are sent to others from these fake profiles requesting money or to click on a link.Innasithamby said it is concerning because people he has a relationship with may think it is a request from him, while the older generation may be unaware of hacking or other related issues on social media. The official page of former MP Hirunika Premachandra's was also hacked. The former MP said after retrieving her account she found out that a group of people from a foreign country monitored the audience and the growth of accounts of high-ranked profiles in South Asian countries like India and Pakistan.She said after social media accounts are hacked it is sold to a company or a person. Meta has been taking down hundreds of fake accounts globally, which were used to spread political propaganda. News 1st also spoke to an expert on the matter regarding measures social media users can take to secure their social media accounts and avoid being hacked.When creating a social media profile users are advised to make the profile themselves, and avoid sharing the password and other personal details with a third party.Using two-factor authentication is another way users can secure their profiles.

Sri Lanka at high risk of a currency crisis, warns top Japanese bank
COLOMBO (News 1st) – Sri Lanka is among the seven countries with a high risk of a currency crisis, warned Nomura Holdings, Japan’s top brokerage and investment bank.The other countries are  Egypt, Romania, Turkey, the Czech Republic, Pakistan, and Hungary.According to Reuters, the Japanese bank said that 22 of the 32 countries covered by its in-house "Damocles" warning system have seen their risk rise since its last update since May, with the largest increases in the Czech Republic and Brazil.It meant the sum of the scores generated on all 32 by the model had increased sharply to 2,234 from 1,744 since May."This is the highest total score since July 1999 and not too far from the peak of 2,692 during the height of the Asian crisis," Nomura economists said, calling it "an ominous warning sign of the growing broad-based risk in EM currencies".The model crunches 8 key indicators on a country's FX reserves, exchange rate, financial health and interest rates to give an overall score.Based on data from 61 different EM currency crises since 1996, Nomura estimates that a score above 100 indicates a 64% chance of a currency crisis in the following 12 months.Egypt, which has already devalued its currency heavily twice this year and sought an International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme, now generates the worst score at 165.Romania is next on 145 having been propping up its currency with interventions.

Protecting the vulnerable is critical in overcoming crisis – World Bank
COLOMBO (News 1st) – The World Bank on Thursday (6) announced that debt restructuring and the implementation of a deep reform program are critical for Sri Lanka’s economic stabilization.Sri Lanka’s real GDP is expected to fall by 9.2 percent this year and a further 4.2 percent in 2023, said the World Bank in its twice-a-year update, underscoring the need for Sri Lanka to build resilience.Beset with Sri Lanka’s economic crisis, Pakistan’s catastrophic floods, a global slowdown, and impacts of the war in Ukraine, South Asia faces an unprecedented combination of shocks on top of the lingering scars of the COVID-19 pandemic, said the World Bank in a statement titled "Unprecedented Shocks Rattle South Asia, Exacerbating Challenges and Dampening Growth."“Protecting the vulnerable is critical as Sri Lanka fast tracks deep reforms to navigate the deepening economic crisis.The crisis calls for immediate action to protect the poorest and most in need while also focusing on strengthening the social protection system,” said Faris H. Hadad-Zervos, World Bank Country Director for Maldives, Nepal and Sri Lanka. “In the face of the economic crisis, poverty estimates doubled to 25.6 percent between 2021 and 2022, increasing the number of people living in poverty by 2.7 million.

China keeps Pakistan, Sri Lanka waiting on loan deals
(THE HINDU) – China has offered Pakistan’s visiting Army Chief technical help as the country deals with record floods but did not announce any substantial financial assistance that its “all-weather” ally has been seeking.Both Pakistan and Sri Lanka, facing financial stress, have been engaged in long-running talks with Beijing for assistance, but with negotiations in both cases having made little headway, both countries have turned to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Their new IMF commitments are now likely to impact their owed payments to China, which has lent the two countries more than $26 billion in the past five years.Following talks in Xi’an between Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa and China’s Defence Minister General Wei Fenghe, the Chinese side expressed willingness to provide technical assistance for flood relief work, Pakistan’s official Inter-Services Public Relations said.Chinese State media quoted Gen.

Queen’s death prompts calls to return ‘stolen’ diamonds in crown jewels
Queen Elizabeth II‘s death, calls are now being made for the monarchy to release several diamonds currently featured in the British crown jewels.The Kohinoor diamond, also known as Koh-i-noor or Koh-i-Nûr, the Great Star of Africa and the Second Star of Africa diamonds are often seen as symbols of imperialist history. Chinese delegation barred from Queen Elizabeth’s lying in state: report The 105-carat Kohinoor diamond is one of the largest cut diamonds in the world, and was originally mined in India thousands of years ago.The monetary value of the diamond is unclear, though it is startling in both size and sparkle.Despite the diamond’s complicated and mysterious history — and many owners who lay claim to it across India, Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan — it now adorns a crown created for Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother to wear during her coronation as queen consort in 1937.The diamond had previously been worn as a brooch by Queen Victoria and was also included in the crowns of Queen Alexandra and Queen Mary.The Kohinoor diamond is on display, still set in Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother’s crown, at the Tower of London.There are reports that Camilla, the Queen Consort, will wear the crown at King Charles’ coronation, but that is yet to be seen.In 2016, the Indian Culture Ministry called for “all possible efforts” to return the Kohinoor diamond to India.

Satellite images reveal nearly 100-km-wide inland lake formed during deadly flooding in Pakistan
Pakistan has left death and destruction in a country that is already going through one of its worst economic crises to date. In satellite images showing the before and aftermath of flooding in Pakistan, the landscape looks completely transformed. Operational Land Imagers aboard NASA’s Landsat 8 and Landsat 9 satellites took images of Pakistan on August 4 and August 28. The imaging concentrates on the areas which received some of the heaviest flooding damage, along the Indus River in the provinces of Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, and Sindh, according to NASA’s Earth Observatory. What would normally be relatively dry land bordering the river has now turned into a nearly 100-kilometer-wide lake, according to satellite images. Image shows satellite images of the area along the Indus River in the provinces of Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, and Sindh on August 4 and the aftermath of flooding in the same area on August 28. (Landsat 8 — OLI and Landsat 9 — OLI-2 via NASA)The provinces of Balochistan and Sindh have received five to six times their 30-year average rainfall so far this year, according to NASA.  Image shows zoomed-out view of major flooding near the Indus River in Pakistan.
