Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) is expected for a 2026 debut; amid this, cybersecurity experts are anticipating a surge in malicious activity. According to a Financial Express report, threat actors are likely to capitalise on the excitement by spreading fake game installers, phoney beta invitations, and misleading early access offers to trick enthusiastic fans. Even though GTA V was launched over ten years ago, the Grand Theft Auto series continues to be a main target for cyber threats, mainly because of its vast modding community and highly engaged online players. Fake GTA 6 downloads may lead to cyberattacks ahead of the 2026 launch As per Kaspersky, there were 4,456,499 cases in which attackers tried to breach systems using files disguised as GTA-linked content. The latest report noted that researchers carried out a comprehensive investigation using 20 top games favoured by Gen Z, such as titles like GTA, NBA, FIFA, The Sims and Genshin Impact, as key search items. Covering the period from Q2 2024 to Q1 2025, the study highlighted March 2025 as the peak month, with an alarming 1,842,370 attempted cyberattacks recorded. When is GTA 6 expected to launch? GTA 6, widely regarded as one of the most highly anticipated games ever, has now been officially delayed until May 2026. Originally planned for a console release by the end of this year, Rockstar Games' latest instalment has faced setbacks in its launch schedule. Price of GTA 6 in India The anticipated price for GTA 6's standard version is about Rs 5,999 in India. While the deluxe or collector's editions may carry a price tag of around Rs 7,299 or more.

Shark Tank India judge with net worth of Rs 720 crore survived on wife's earnings till age of 40, was bailed out by dad
Every member of the Shark Tank India judges' panel has their own story of overcoming hardships. While Anupam Mittal lost all his savings after the company he was working at in America went bust, Ritesh Agarwal faced rejections from several key investors before his company took off. In a recent interview, Aman Gupta said that there were several years following his departure from his CA job that he wasn't earning much money, and that his wife supported him financially during that time. He said that he quit his job to focus on entrepreneurship, but struggled to launch several businesses before striking gold with Boat. Appearing on Prakhar Ke Pravachan, Aman reflected on the hardships he faced in life, and said that his success is a result of tremendous hard work and sacrifice. 'I'm terrified of God,' he said, adding, 'I'm scared that if I do wrong by someone, God will punish me. I swear to you, I haven't intentionally harmed anyone in my entire life. I think I've been given far more than I deserve.' Aman continued, 'Yes, divine intervention is involved, but I'm not saying I'm not a smart guy. I worked very hard. I would travel by buses every day, and I would board the bus at the first stop because it would be empty. I would especially go out of my way to the first stop, just so that I could get a seat and sleep for two hours, or study. I've worked very hard. I've worked 16 hours a day, I've changed jobs. All my friends were doing so well. Till the age of 40, my livelihood relied on my wife. I have burned the midnight oil.'

'If I had not made those sacrifices, I wouldn't be here. I worked hard, but I didn't work like a donkey. God gave me a brain, I used it.' Aman said that one point, his father bought his products on Diwali just to show his colleagues at work what a good job Aman was doing. 'He supported me when the business had no money. But the best thing was that he bought Boat products as Diwali gifts, just to support me and spread the word about the company,' he said. According to the Financial Express, Aman is worth more than Rs 700 crore. He's married to Piya Daggar. In an interview with Ranveer Allahbadia, Aman had spoken about his failed business before Boat's success. He said, 'Boat was established when I turned 36. I started with dad at 23, and I learnt a lot of things. I think I should write a book called 'What they don't teach you at Indian business schools.' Jo marketing seekh ke aate ho and jitna use karni padti hai, wo bohot alag hai. Jitna aap gir ke seekh sakte ho na, utna aap kisi aur cheez se nai seekhte, aur main bohot seekha hun apne failures se' (The marketing that you learn at business schools, and the one which you actually have to use in real life are very different from each other. What you learn from failures, is something that cannot really be taught).'

Bad news for Pakistan, China as India is developing three deadly air defence systems; range to be..., to be inducted in Indian Armed Forces by...
In order to boost India's air defence against missile and projectile threats, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is working on three different versions of a new air defence system called 'Kusha'. According to the report by Financial Express, these systems are being developed in India with more than 90% of the parts made locally. They are likely to be ready for use by the Indian armed forces by 2030. The ambitious 'Kusha' project aims to develop a multi-layered air defence system to counter the entire range of modern aerial threats from drones, loitering munitions, to cruise missiles and modern fighter jets. To achieve the different combat requirements, the DRDO is working on three variants of the system, each with a defined combat role, reported Financial Express. The Kusha M1 variant is being specifically developed for the Indian military to replace obsolete L70 and ZU-23-2B anti-aircraft guns. The gun will be used primarily for critical infrastructure defence, while addressing new-age threats associated with UAVs, drones, and loitering munitions. The Kusha M2: Medium Range Surface-to-Air Missile (MRSAM) is under development as the medium-range variant of the system, aiming to replace outdated Pechora missile systems. It will be a better-performing, longer-reaching system that will engage a variety of aerial threats with more precision and reliability. The Kusha M3 is the long-range variant intended to provide wide-area air defence protection. It will operate together with India's existing high-value systems, which include the Russian S-400 Triumf, India's Akash missile system, and the Barak 8 MRSAM developed by India and Israel. According to the Hindu Businessline cited sources stated that the Kusha M3 will have the capability to intercept aerial threats at ranges of 400 km.
