    A huge hacking scandal has been unearthed in China. Many people are already claiming that this scandal is the biggest ever hacking scandal till date.

This data, which contains sensitive information like name, address, Birthplace, national ID number & mobile number, has been put on sale on a popular forum. The Chinese government, which takes immense pride in its robust cybersecurity, has certainly been left embarrassed and red faced by this hacking scandal. It is now expected that Chinese authorities will soon launch an official investigation into this hacking fiasco.

    Crisis hit Byju’s plans to raise over $2 Bn from investors

    The edtech giant Byju’s, which recently has been in news for all the wrong reasons, is now reportedly planning to raise $2Bn from investors. According to media reports, Byju’s will use most of these funds to acquire a U.S. based edtech firm called 2U. If the edtech giant does acquire this U.S. firm then it will most probably be the most expensive acquisition in Byju’s history. Moreover, it will also be the most expensive acquisition in the edtech space. For all those who don’t know, Byju’s had recently sacked more than 1000 employees from its subsidiary firms White Hat Jr and Toppr. The company is also facing criticisms for delaying the announcements of its 2021-22 financial results.
