Actually, in agentic era - you just ask you agent - it will neatly get the content, the way it's allowed for Google. You don't even need to use browser extensions. Media web owners subsidize big tech and want you to pay. Not happening.
Friendly reminder: We all do this sometimes, but if you enjoy the work of a journalist you're reading, please do think twice before sharing a PDF/screenshot. Consider instead sharing a quote with a direct article link. Subscription is what's going to keep journalism going!

#CashlessConsumer #AgenticJournalism on the @centralbank_in complaint on #SFMS hack on its settlement account. This is closer to Bangladesh SWIFT attack. cc @iam_anandv @nixxin As always, @rbi will brush under carpet. cyber.cashlessconsumer.in/pa…
₹13.97 crore. 187 transfers. Three days. Central Bank of India says the money left its settlement account at the RBI between October 15 and 17, and its own books show no matching entries. Full verification: cyber.cashlessconsumer.in/pa…

Shocked to hear about the passing of @haricm . We last spoke some months ago, when he said he needed a space away from college to work on his thesis, so he spent some time working out of our office. What many don't know is that he briefly worked at MediaNama: a few years ago I was exploring some businesses tangential to MediaNama, and Hari came on board for a few months to work with me on planning them out. We met folks, explored options, figured things weren't quite possible because I had bandwidth constraints, and we parted ways on a pleasant note. He was soft spoken and smart, and an introvert. After that, he came to office once because he was confused about what he should work on for his research thesis, and I helped him narrow his options keeping future job prospects in mind. I'm not aware of what happened and how he passed away, but I wish he's at peace.

I hope recently banner culture was banned by @CMOTamilnadu @imrajmohan & his supporters have flooded about 200 meters with high banners which is risky when @ChennaiRmc has issued alert on high chance of #ChennaiRains today & tomorrow @chennaicorp please take necessary actions

Minimum government. 0 governance
Ideally the Government, specifically CERT-IN or Controller of Certifying Authorities under MeITY should be telling you this impact of eMudhra. But hey nothing is wrong to begin with. Govt has no work at all 🍿

Meanwhile - #eMudhra has its banking roots and funnily enough its own origin story is contested as fraud by its bank-it vendor parent company. cashlessconsumer.zo.space/em…

Everyone who owns hardware with abominable software (like Sonos players) owes a debt of gratitude to Venkatraman Srinivasan and the rest of the eMudhra gang in Bengaluru, Karnataka. Without their gross negligence, it'd be a lot harder to counterfeit certificates and fix the sw🙏

156 Indian government websites are currently inaccessible because of a cert revocation by @eMudhra, including 4 that come under @GoI_MeitY. One of them is @ccaindiapki - which regulates eMudhra. cc @internetfreedom I made a list: captnemo.in/blog/2026/10/23/…
Replying to @GoI_MeitY
The reported security incident pertains to this only. MeitY is not involved in its audit. The impact of this incident on Indian websites and applications have been very limited and for a very short interval.
