Trading fraud: Bengaluru-based businessman clicks on Facebook advertisement, loses Rs 89 lakh
Bengaluru: A 50-year-old businessman from Horamavu has reportedly lost Rs 89 lakh in an online trading scam over two months. The victim, Sunil (name changed), lodged a complaint with the East CEN crime police after realising he had fallen prey to fraudsters operating through a fake trading platform. According to his complaint, Sunil came across an advertisement on Facebook two months ago, promoting high returns on stock market investments through an online platform named 'FXROAD @FXRoad_Account_Mngr_bot'. Interested by the promise of quick profits, he clicked on a free registration link and submitted his basic details. Soon after, he received a call from a woman who explained the process and persuaded him to invest $200 (around Rs 17,000). The next day, another person contacted him, urging further investment by assuring daily profits. They showed a small credit of $50 on the portal and claimed that profits would be automatically added. Trusting the process, Sunil continued to invest more money as he was regularly shown fictitious profits on the trading dashboard.

CloudSEK detects Maha-based counterfeit currency syndicates on social media
Cyber intelligence firm CloudSEK has detected counterfeit currency syndicates based out of Maharashtra operating via social media platforms, the company said in a report. The report said that the earlier such syndicates were confined to the dark web and underground print shops and claimed that such syndicates were now operating in broad daylight through social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. Sourajeet Majumder, a security researcher at CloudSEK, said the firm has reported about the syndicate to the law enforcement agencies with details of the cyber criminals along with their phone numbers, GPS location and supporting digital evidence. He said the counterfeit currency network was flourishing openly on social media platforms. "In a first-of-its-kind investigation, CloudSEK's STRIKE team has not only quantified the spread -- Rs 17.5 crore worth of fake Indian currency in just six months -- but also attributed key individuals behind the operation using facial recognition, GPS data, and digital forensics," the report said. CloudSEK is one of the cyber intelligence service providers to India cyber security watchdog CERT-In. The CloudSEK researchers found over 4,500 posts promoting counterfeit currency, more than 750 accounts and pages facilitating the sale and around 410 unique phone numbers linked to sellers. "Adhering to its commitment to responsible disclosure and aiding national security, the comprehensive findings from this investigation, including the detailed attribution of threat actors, their phone numbers, precise GPS locations, and supporting digital evidence, have been formally furnished to relevant central and state law enforcement agencies," Majumder said. He said that the critical intelligence has also been shared with appropriate regulatory authorities to enable swift and decisive action against this illicit network, safeguarding both the nation's financial stability and its citizens.

Telling secrets to ChatGPT? Using it as a therapist? Your AI chats aren't legally private, warns Sam Altman
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Flags Privacy Loophole in ChatGPT's Use as a Digital Confidant. (Image Source: YouTube/@Theo Von) Synopsis OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has warned that conversations with ChatGPT are not legally protected, unlike those with therapists, doctors, or lawyers. In a podcast with Theo Von, Altman explained that users often share deeply personal information with the AI, but current laws do not offer confidentiality. This means OpenAI could be required to hand over user chats in legal cases. He stressed the need for urgent privacy regulations, as the legal system has yet to catch up with AI's growing role in users' personal lives. Many users may treat ChatGPT like a trusted confidant—asking for relationship advice, sharing emotional struggles, or even seeking guidance during personal crises. But OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has warned that unlike conversations with a therapist, doctor, or lawyer, chats with the AI tool carry no legal confidentiality. ADVERTISEMENT During a recent appearance on This Past Weekend, a podcast hosted by comedian Theo Von, Altman said that users, particularly younger ones, often treat ChatGPT like a therapist or life coach. However, he cautioned that the same legal safeguards that protect personal conversations in professional settings do not extend to AI. Altman explained that legal privileges—such as doctor-patient or attorney-client confidentiality—do not apply when using ChatGPT. If there's a lawsuit, OpenAI could be compelled to turn over user chats, including the most sensitive ones. 'That's very screwed up,' Altman admitted, adding that the lack of legal protection is a major gap that needs urgent attention. Altman believes that conversations with AI should eventually be treated with the same privacy standards as those with human professionals. He pointed out that the rapid adoption of generative AI has raised legal and ethical questions that didn't even exist a year ago. Von, who expressed hesitation about using ChatGPT due to privacy concerns, found Altman's warning OpenAI chief acknowledged that the absence of clear regulations could be a barrier for users who might otherwise benefit from the chatbot's assistance. 'It makes sense to want privacy clarity before you use it a lot,' Altman said, agreeing with Von's to OpenAI's own policies, conversations from users on the free tier can be retained for up to 30 days for safety and system improvement, though they may sometimes be kept longer for legal reasons. This means chats are not end-to-end encrypted like on messaging platforms such as WhatsApp or Signal. OpenAI staff may access user inputs to optimize the AI model or monitor misuse. ADVERTISEMENT The privacy issue is not just theoretical. OpenAI is currently involved in a lawsuit with The New York Times, which has brought the company's data storage practices under scrutiny. A court order related to the case has reportedly required OpenAI to retain and potentially produce user conversations—excluding those from its ChatGPT Enterprise customers. OpenAI is appealing the order, calling it an also highlighted that tech companies are increasingly facing demands to produce user data in legal or criminal cases. He drew parallels to how people shifted to encrypted health tracking apps after the U.S. Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade reversal, which raised fears about digital privacy around personal choices. ADVERTISEMENT While AI chatbots like ChatGPT have become a popular tool for emotional support, the legal framework surrounding their use hasn't caught up. Until it does, Altman's message is clear: users should be cautious about what they choose to share.
