SOG probes role of Dadhich, 2 aides in other job rackets
Jaipur: Special Operations Group (SOG) is investigating whether assistant accounts officer (AAO) Purushottam Dadhich and his two aides, arrested in June in the 2021 sub-inspector (SI) recruitment exam paper leak case, were also involved in other organised examination frauds.
Officials said Dadhich, along with Kundan Kumar Pandya (also an AAO) and Sandeep Kumar Lata, a Grade III teacher, had close links with Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) member Babu Lal Katara, who was previously arrested in another high-profile paper leak case.
The three were arrested by the SOG on June 5 in connection with the SI exam leak. Investigators now suspect the trio may be part of a wider network involved in multiple exam cheating operations.
As reported earlier, Katara allegedly handed over six sets of SI 2021 question papers to fellow RPSC member Ramu Ram Raika. These papers were later leaked to Dadhich, who allegedly circulated them for profit almost a month before the exam.
SOG sources added that Katara was earlier arrested for leaking the question paper of the senior teacher recruitment exam held in 2022. The recurrence of such leaks has raised questions about the possible deeper involvement of Dadhich and his network in other RPSC-linked exam frauds.

"We are examining digital evidence, communication logs, and financial transactions to assess whether the accused were involved in earlier scams," said an official. Investigators are also preparing to question additional suspects believed to have accessed or benefited from leaked papers.
Officials said Katara's association with Dadhich during his posting in Udaipur may have enabled access to sensitive exam materials. "Our focus is to identify those who received the leaked SI papers and determine how long the accused accessed the question papers," the official added.

Phantom crash: How Chinese hackers covertly targeted smartphones of US officials and journalists
Cybersecurity investigators noticed a highly unusual software crash — it was affecting a small number of smartphones belonging to people who worked in government, politics, tech and journalism. read more Cybersecurity experts have uncovered a highly unusual software crash pattern affecting smartphones of government officials, political figures, tech professionals and journalists. The crashes, which began in late 2024 and persisted into 2025, indicated a sophisticated cyberattack potentially enabling hackers to infiltrate devices without any user interaction. Investigators at cybersecurity firm iVerify found that all victims worked in sectors of interest to China's government and had previously been targeted by Chinese-linked hackers. The attack highlights the growing threat to mobile devices and apps as critical vulnerabilities in US cyberdefenses, with foreign groups linked to China's military and intelligence increasingly exploiting these weaknesses. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Experts warn that such security failures could expose sensitive data and compromise American interests. 'The world is in a mobile security crisis right now,' Rocky Cole, a former cybersecurity expert at the National Security Agency and Google and now chief operations officer at iVerify told AP. 'No one is watching the phones.' US authorities warned in December of a sprawling Chinese hacking campaign designed to gain access to the texts and phone conversations of an unknown number of Americans. 'They were able to listen in on phone calls in real time and able to read text messages,' Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois told Associated Press. He is a member of the House Intelligence Committee and the senior Democrat on the Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, created to study the geopolitical threat from China. Chinese hackers also sought access to phones used by Donald Trump and running mate JD Vance during the 2024 campaign. The Chinese government has denied allegations of cyberespionage, and accused the U.S. of mounting its own cyberoperations. It says America cites national security as an excuse to issue sanctions against Chinese organizations and keep Chinese technology companies from the global market. 'The U.S. has long been using all kinds of despicable methods to steal other countries' secrets,' Lin Jian, a spokesman for China's foreign ministry, said at a recent press conference in response to questions about a CIA push to recruit Chinese informants. US intelligence officials have said China poses a significant, persistent threat to U.S. economic and political interests, and it has harnessed the tools of digital conflict: online propaganda and disinformation, artificial intelligence and cyber surveillance and espionage designed to deliver a significant advantage in any military conflict. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Mobile networks are a top concern. The US and many of its closest allies have banned Chinese telecom companies from their networks. Other countries, including Germany, are phasing out Chinese involvement because of security concerns. But Chinese tech firms remain a big part of the systems in many nations, giving state-controlled companies a global footprint they could exploit for cyberattacks, experts say. Chinese telecom firms still maintain some routing and cloud storage systems in the US, a growing concern to lawmakers. 'The American people deserve to know if Beijing is quietly using state-owned firms to infiltrate our critical infrastructure,' U.S. Rep. John Moolenaar, R-Mich. and chairman of the China committee, which in April issued subpoenas to Chinese telecom companies seeking information about their U.S. operations. Mobile devices can buy stocks, launch drones and run power plants. Their proliferation has often outpaced their security. The phones of top government officials are especially valuable, containing sensitive government information, passwords and an insider's glimpse into policy discussions and decision-making. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The White House said last week that someone impersonating Susie Wiles, Trump's chief of staff, reached out to governors, senators and business leaders with texts and phone calls. It's unclear how the person obtained Wiles' connections, but they apparently gained access to the contacts in her personal cellphone, The Wall Street Journal reported. The messages and calls were not coming from Wiles' number, the newspaper reported. While most smartphones and tablets come with robust security, apps and connected devices often lack these protections or the regular software updates needed to stay ahead of new threats. That makes every fitness tracker, baby monitor or smart appliance another potential foothold for hackers looking to penetrate networks, retrieve information or infect systems with malware. Federal officials launched a program this year creating a 'cyber trust mark' for connected devices that meet federal security standards. But consumers and officials shouldn't lower their guard, said Snehal Antani, former chief technology officer for the Pentagon's Joint Special Operations Command. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'They're finding backdoors in Barbie dolls,' said Antani, now CEO of a cybersecurity firm, referring to concerns from researchers who successfully hacked the microphone of a digitally connected version of the toy. It doesn't matter how secure a mobile device is if the user doesn't follow basic security precautions, especially if their device contains classified or sensitive information, experts say. Mike Waltz, who departed as Trump's national security adviser, inadvertently added The Atlantic's editor-in-chief to a Signal chat used to discuss military plans with other top officials. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth had an internet connection that bypassed the Pentagon's security protocols set up in his office so he could use the Signal messaging app on a personal computer, the AP has reported. Hegseth has rejected assertions that he shared classified information on Signal, a popular encrypted messaging app not approved for the use of communicating classified information. China and other nations will try to take advantage of such lapses, and national security officials must take steps to prevent them from recurring, said Michael Williams, a national security expert at Syracuse University. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'They all have access to a variety of secure communications platforms,' Williams said. 'We just can't share things willy-nilly.' With inputs from agencies
