CoinDCX offers 25% bounty to recover stolen crypto in $44-mn hack
In a statement, CoinDCX emphasised that the effort goes beyond just recovering funds — it's about uniting the Web3 community to stand against cybercrime. 'This is not just about us. This is about standing up for what's right, for the safety, transparency, and future of the entire Web3 ecosystem. It's a war against cybercrime,' the company said.
Co-founder Neeraj Khandelwal highlighted that the breach was not only an attack on CoinDCX but on trust itself. 'When one of us is targeted, all of us are affected. CoinDCX is committed to using this incident as a turning point—to strengthen our defenses, reinforce transparency, and work with the best minds in the industry to make recovery real and replicable,' he said.
He added that the company is actively working with an exchange partner to block and recover the stolen assets and is fully committed to the recovery effort. 'We will emerge from this stronger, together,' Khandelwal said.
The company also issued a call to action, inviting ethical hackers, white-hat researchers, and partners across the ecosystem to join the fight against cybercrime.

Why did RIL's shares plummet despite analysts' positive projections?
Jani said Q1 results for O2C and retail businesses were below market expectations, while telecom unit results were in line with expectations. Synopsis Reliance Industries' shares experienced a decline of over 3% on Monday. This followed the release of Q1 earnings that were lower than anticipated. Investors reacted to the results and a deferred IPO plan. Despite the dip, brokerages maintain a positive outlook on the company. They foresee potential growth triggers in the near future. Mumbai: Shares of Reliance Industries dropped over 3% on Monday as investors weighed the conglomerate's lower-than-expected Q1 earnings against analysts' positive outlook on stock after results. Stock ended at ₹1,428.6 on Monday, down 3.2%, capping gains in Sensex and Nifty, which ended 0.5% higher. ADVERTISEMENT "Reliance shares had recently rallied on expectations of strong quarterly results and a potential IPO announcement for its telecom business," said Sumit Pokharna, VP, fundamental research, Kotak Securities. "But, the management's clarification the IPO is deferred to next year had earlier led to some correction, and combined with results below Street estimates, we saw some profit-booking." The stock has gone up about 17% so far this year, against Nifty's 5.7% gains. PAT in June quarter stood at ₹30,681 crore, up 36.8% from January-March. Its revenues from operations stood at ₹2,48,660 crore, down 6% from previous quarter. It had recorded a one-time gain from selling its stake in Asian Paints for nearly ₹8,900 crore. Brokerages remain positive on company, with most retaining 'buy' and 'add' ratings post results. Price targets imply an upside of 8-19% from current levels. "We see 3 growth triggers for RIL in near term: scale-up of new energy business; Jio tariff hikes; and potential IPO/listing for Jio which has now been pushed beyond 2025," said Nomura. The stock may underperform in near term. "In absence of clear catalysts, stock may remain a laggard," said Hemang Jani, director at Finazenn. Jani said Q1 results for O2C and retail businesses were below market expectations, while telecom unit results were in line with expectations.

From The Hindu, July 22, 1975: Antique dealer held in Bombay for thefts in T Nadu
Bombay, July 21: A notorious idol lifter and a hawker-turned millionaire, Bahadur Singh Teja Singh Lama, who was running two workshops in Bombay for manufacturing fake idols, was arrested by the Bombay Police under COFEPOSA yesterday under orders of the Maharashtra Government. Bahadur Singh Teja Singh had been earlier ordered by the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Mr. S.C. Kotwal, to be released on a bail of Rs. 5 lakhs in connection with a case involving the theft of several idols from South Indian temples worth Rs. 1.5 crores. Following this the Additional Commissioner of Police, Mr. R.S. Kulkarni, moved the State Government for his arrest under the Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act (COFEPOSA). Bahadur Singh was running a moderu air conditioned emporium 'Kalimpong Art House' in a posh locality in Central Bombay, and two workshops called Handicraft Emporiums ostensibly for selling handicrafts, the Police said. But actually the workshops were manufacturing replicas of priceless South Indian temple idols which were to be substituted for the original idols with the connivance of temple priests. The original idols were in turn exported at fabulous prices, the police said. An Inspector and two Sub Inspectors of the Tamil Nadu Police who had come here to take away Bahadur Singh returned to Madras as they had been directed by the Bombay Police to get a Magistrate's order for taking him. Bahadur Singh has now been lodged in the Nasik Jail.
