Telangana Cyber Security arrests 15 repeat offenders for online child sexual abuse material
Hyderabad, June 19 (UNI) In a major crackdown on repeat offenders involved in cases of Online Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse Material (CSEAM), the Child Protection Unit (CPU) of the Telangana Cyber Security Bureau (TGCSB), has arrested 15 individuals across various districts in Telangana during a statewide special operation. Presenting highlights of the Special Operation at a press conference here today, Telangana Cyber Security Bureau (TGCSB) Director Shikha Goel said this meticulously planned operation targeted repeat offenders involved in uploading, storing, and circulating nude and sexually explicit videos of minors. A total of 15 individuals were arrested, all identified as habitual offenders linked to 57 cyber tipline complaints, she said. These led to 34 FIRs registered U/s 67-8 IT ACT and Sec 15 of POCSO ACT, including 17 cases registered in TGCSB's Cyber Crime Police Stations (CCPSs) across the state. She said that these accused were arrested in a coordinated operation from Hyderabad, Yadagirigutta, Karimnagar, Warangal, Jagtial, and Jagadgirigutta in a one-day special operation. The arrested accused are aged between 19 and 50 years and mostly belong to the working and middle-class groups, the Director said, and adding that most of the CSEAM content appears to involve foreign individuals, with victims appearing to be between six and 14 years of age, and 9O percent of the content pertains to girls. All arrested accused have been sent to judicial remand, she said. The investigation is ongoing to identify the victims, trace the origin of the content, establish the exact role of the individuals, and dismantle the criminal networks involved in creating, circulating, selling, and purchasing CSEAM, she said. This operation reinforces TGCSB's unwavering commitment to safeguarding children in the digital space and ensuring that perpetrators of such heinous crimes face legal consequences. It also aims to send a strong message that those involved in such activities will be held accountable under the law, Shikha Goel added. The Child Protection Unit (CPU) was established within TGCSB in February 2025 and was inaugurated by Chief Minister of Telangana A Revanth Reddy, during the SHIELD 2025 Cyber Security Conclave held at HICC, Hyderabad. This unit is involved in proactively monitoring and acting upon the digital circulation of CSEAM material. TGCSB serves as the nodal agency for managing CSEAM-related complaints, including Cyber Tiplines, Child Pornography and Rape/Gang Rape (CPRGR) grievances received through the NCRP portal, and Case Monitoring Tools (CMT) of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). This unit also monitors such activities on various social media platforms and organises cyber patrolling through the Dark and Deep Web.

Is Intel Stock a Buy or Sell?
Intel is struggling in its core CPU markets, and its foundry effort has yet to pay off. However, a new CEO is refocusing and streamlining the company. Intel's manufacturing technology has advanced in the past few years, setting the stage for a successful turnaround. 10 stocks we like better than Intel › Semiconductor giant Intel (NASDAQ: INTC), once overwhelmingly dominant in its core central processing unit (CPU) markets, is scrambling to turn itself around. Market-share losses, missed opportunities in artificial intelligence (AI), and an expensive bet on becoming a foundry have all been weighing on the stock. While there are certainly legitimate reasons to sell, Intel stock still looks like a solid buy for long-term investors with plenty of patience. Intel fell into a common trap for companies that dominate their core markets -- complacency. Prior to AMD's renaissance, which began around 2017 with the first iteration of its Zen-based CPUs, Intel faced little competition from its rival. Back in 2017, Intel's desktop PC CPU market share was nearly 90%, and its server CPU market share topped 98%. The company appeared untouchable, and its in-house manufacturing gave it an important edge. Fast forward to today, and Intel's dominance has clearly deteriorated. While Intel remains the market-share leader, as of mid-2024, its share of the desktop CPU market had fallen below 80%, and its share of the server CPU market was around 75%. AMD now has great products available in both markets, putting pressure on Intel's core business. Intel's manufacturing technology fell woefully behind TSMC, which AMD uses to make its chips. Compounding Intel's problems are a weak PC market coming out of the pandemic-era boom and a hard shift in data center spending toward AI accelerators. Intel attempted to battle Nvidia in the AI accelerator market with its Gaudi chips, but the company fell well short of its own targets and has largely abandoned the effort. Intel's annual revenue has tumbled from more than $75 billion a few years ago to around $53 billion, and profits have vanished. Given these developments, it's all too easy to write off Intel's ongoing turnaround efforts. Despite plenty of problems and headwinds plaguing Intel, there's still a lot to like about its long-term prospects. Under new CEO Lip-Bu Tan, Intel is set to get serious about reining in its costs with a planned layoff over the summer. Bringing its cost structure down to reflect its current market position is critical to getting the company back on its feet. In the products business, Tan plans to eliminate layers of middle management and put the focus back on engineering. In the foundry business, Tan will emphasize listening to customers and adapting as needed to bring in enough external customers to make the company's massive manufacturing investments pay off. The Intel 18A manufacturing process, which is now complete and set for volume production later this year, has the potential to be a big winner for the company. The process delivers significant performance and efficiency gains over Intel's previous processes, and it's the first process available that includes backside power delivery. Intel now must scale up the process and achieve acceptable yields. Intel 18A will be used for the company's upcoming Panther Lake PC chips, which could give it a key advantage over AMD. It has won some external customers for Intel 18A, but not nearly enough. Panther Lake could act as a proof of concept for potential customers that are on the fence about committing to Intel for manufacturing. With a new focus on engineering, a plan for a streamlined organization capable of moving faster, and manufacturing technology that has advanced drastically over the past few years, Intel has all the pieces in place for a successful turnaround. Intel stock trades for around 0.9 times book value, meaning that the company is valued at less than its assets minus liabilities. While this valuation metric has limitations, Intel's is currently hovering around a multidecade low. Intel stock isn't for the impatient. The company must stabilize and then grow its CPU market share, cut costs and enact layoffs without killing morale or losing its best talent, and win multiple large external customers for its foundry. To make things more challenging, Intel faces a highly uncertain economic environment and U.S. trade policies that can change on a whim. Still, given Intel's deeply pessimistic valuation and a new CEO ready to make the painful but necessary changes to get the company back on track, Intel stock has the potential to deliver market-beating gains if the turnaround shows any meaningful signs of progress.

Why Intel Stock Sank Today
Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) stock saw a day of big sell-offs in Wednesday's daily session. The chip company's share price closed out the day down 6.3% due to concerns that competitive pressures are mounting. Intel's valuation sank today following news about a product that Nvidia is readying that could compete with Intel in the central processing unit (CPU) space. Meanwhile, another report suggested that Advanced Micro Devices will continue gaining market share from Intel in the server CPU market. Is Intel's outlook in the CPU market about to get much worse? According to recent leaks, Nvidia is gearing up to launch two accelerated processing unites (APUs) for the consumer market that would combine a CPU and a graphics processing unit (GPU) into single products. Based on some limited perimeters, some leaked benchmark scores for the more advanced of Nvidia's rumored APUs point to performance that tops a comparable offering from Intel. Real-world performance may be more favorable in Intel in many situations, but moves from Nvidia to play a bigger role in the CPU space could still create significant competitive pressures. Making matters worse, a new report from Mercury Research suggests that AMD has continued to rapidly increase its market share in the server CPU space. According to Mercury's report, AMD managed to capture 40% of the CPU market for servers in this year's first quarter -- and it's poised to match Intel in market share sometime next year. What's next for Intel? Intel's path forward looks complicated. The company has missed out on the early growth market for artificial intelligence (AI) GPUs, and it's facing pressure in both the consumer and enterprise CPU markets. While the company's chip foundry unit has the potential to be an important national resource for the U.S., it remains to be seen whether its next-gen semiconductor fabrication platform will actually attract substantial interest from third parties seeking manufacturing services for their AI chip designs. Intel stock could surge if there are signs that its turnaround strategy is yielding results, but there's a lot of uncertainty on the table right now. Should you invest $1,000 in Intel right now?
