Using a team of "money mules", cyber attackers stole over $44,000 from the bank account of MedLink, a healthcare provider in Georgia. The money was sent to the attackers' own banks and then wired to organized crime groups in Eastern Europe. While some funds were recovered, $15,000 were not accounted for. The incident highlights how even small healthcare providers can be targets of cybercrime when employees lack security awareness training.

TECH CYBER CRIME: Homegrown menace
Contents
1. Regional trouble
Listen
As Latin Americans take to online banking, Brazil is scoring records for the wrong reasons.
The number of internet users in Latin America has doubled in less than a decade, according to the World Bank. Close to 60% of Brazilians used the internet last year, up from less than 30% in 2006. But as more people log on, they open their personal information to new vulnerabilities.
Last year, cybercrime cost the world economy $445 billion, according to figures from PwC. "The more people recognize money is digital, the more criminality will migrate there," says Tom Kellerman, chief cybersecurity officer at Trend Micro, a software security company.
With 34% of Latin America's population, Brazil has also become LatAm's stomping ground for cybercriminals. The country ranks in the top three launching pads for cyberattacks and at least 75% of Brazilians say they have been victims of cybercrime, according to PwC.
Russia and China have long been home to the originators of cybercrime, but that is changing, says Kellerman. Increasingly, hackers are using home-grown programs. "The Brazilian underground used to be some of the biggest buyers of malware from Eastern Europe, but now they are producing their own," he says.
Financial institutions, energy companies and governments are the top targets for cybercrime in Latin America, says Kellerman, adding that the prevalence and severity of cyberattacks in the region "is dramatically getting worse".
Last year, RSA Research Group uncovered a new malware attacking Brazil's Boletos, a type of payment slip. RSA found that more than 30 Brazilian banks had been targeted. Cybercriminals obtained user login information and used their bank accounts to issue Boletos, which can be printed out or used online.
When a customer gives the slip to a merchant or other person, the bank transfers money from the customer's account. Cybercriminals intercepted the Boletos and redirected the payments to their own accounts. RSA estimated losses to be 8.57 billion reais ($2.2 billion at today's exchange rate).
For the first time, Hewlett Packard and the Ponemon Institute included Brazil in its annual Cost of Cyber Crime Study, published in October. The survey deals with expenses related to theft, lost business and business responses allocated to fight cybercrime. Cybercrime hit US businesses the hardest, costing companies with more than 1,000 employees $15 million each per year on average, the report found.
Brazil ranked fifth, with the 27 companies with over 1,000 employees surveyed reporting average losses of $3.85 million from cyberattacks.
Financial service providers had the most significant losses. The most costly crimes are denial of services attacks, which aim to render a company's service unusable to its clients.
Regional trouble
Although Brazilian financial institutions have taken the brunt of cyberattacks in Latin America, hackers are also hitting other Latin Ame.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

• Real GDP growth slowed down due to problems with access to electricity caused by the destruction of manoeuvrable electricity generation by Russian drones and missiles.
• Exports and imports continued growing due to better logistics through the Ukrainian sea corridor and road. Polish farmers and drivers stopped blocking borders at the end of April.
• In April, both the Tax and Customs Services over-executed the revenue plan. Moreover, the NBU transferred twice the planned profit to the budget.
• The European side approved the Ukraine Plan, which the government adopted to determine indicators for the Ukraine Facility. That approval will allow Ukraine to receive a EUR 1.9 bn loan from the EU in May. At the same time, the EU provided Ukraine with a EUR 1.5 bn loan in April, as the government fulfilled five indicators under the Ukraine Plan.
• The USA has finally approved an aid package for Ukraine, which includes USD 7.8 bn of budget support; however, the conditions and timing of the assistance are still unknown.
• As in March, annual consumer inflation amounted to 3.2% yoy in April.
• At the April monetary policy meeting, the NBU again reduced the key policy rate from 14.5% to 13.5% per annum.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.
