NEW DELHI: With digital payments constantly growing, financial service providers need to collaborate with fintech developers to build "resilient front-ends" to safeguard consumer interest in view of rising cyber frauds, a top finance ministry official said on Monday. Speaking at a FICCI event on FinTech, K Rajaraman, Additional Secretary in the Finance Ministry, said an area that "needs to be highlighted is cyber security and fraud prevention. Now that there is an explosion in the use of digital platforms. A lot of the activities of fintech have been focused on how to provide resilient front-ends for the financial services providers". Financial service providers must not hesitate to actually collaborate with fintech (financial technology) innovators for beefing up cyber security and fraud prevention, he said.

The Haunting of Bly Manor: release date, trailer, cast and what we know
2020's The Turning - starring Stranger Things' Finn Wolfhard - was less successful. Plagued by production problems, this take on Screw suffered from a complicated, muddled plot and an ending that felt abrupt and unearned, rather than subtle.

Forget Blue Origin vs. SpaceX—the real battle is between old and new ideas
NASA says it needs this huge rocket to explore Mars, and that only by delivering exceptionally large payloads to space can it stage human missions to Mars. And that may be right. But along with this large rocket, which may cost as much as $2 billion or $3 billion per launch, NASA will need budgets it has not seen since the days of Apollo to get close to Mars. Unfortunately there is no indication that Congress or a new president will be willing to add billions of dollars a year to NASA’s budget. For example, Donald Trump has said he is more interested in potholes than space. … [Read more...] about Forget Blue Origin vs. SpaceX—the real battle is between old and new ideas
Oculus Quest 2: Rumor roundup and everything you need to know
Will it be better, or more affordable -- or both?One thing that's hard to figure out from reports so far is whether the Quest update that might be coming soon is a more streamlined, budget version of the Quest, like a Nintendo Switch Lite, or a revamped and improved Quest. Or, maybe it's both? For any possible Quest shoppers right now, that also makes it hard to make the call whether to wait till September or not.

But, then again, we don't really know. … [Read more...] about Oculus Quest 2: Rumor roundup and everything you need to know
