Ukraine Partisans Stalk High-Security Russian Base Again, Stick Photos on Internet

/in


Ukrainian partisans on Thursday published high-res photographs of the high-security base for Russia’s 126th Separate Coastal Defense Brigade, a formation deployed by the Kremlin to protect Moscow’s military facilities in the Crimea Peninsula from commandos and sneak attacks.

Images and text data made public by the umbrella Ukrainian partisan agency ATESH on the information app Telegram showed pro-Kyiv agents approaching within a few hundred meters of the Russian unit’s base near the village Perevalne, in a mountainous region of south Crimea.

The ATESH statement claimed its operatives reconnoitered the Russian brigade defenses and security thoroughly and left the scene without being detected.

“We managed to find out the brigade’s quantity, condition and range of military equipment. We have become convinced that fuel tanks are being actively used by the enemy. We also studied the patrol pattern around the military unit in detail,” the statement said in part.

ATESH said the grids of the Russian base were N44.851830, E34.318620. The location named by the partisan group matched past geolocations associated with the unit. Kyiv Post was unable to confirm other ATESH claims independently.

The Perevalne reconnaissance of the 126th Brigade’s home base was the second claimed by Ukrainian partisans in a public space. On Oct. 30 an ATESH statement said its operatives had managed to infiltrate agents inside 126th Brigade facilities and found the unit to be at 25 percent strength and individual soldiers suffering from poor morale.

Bengaluru: In a surprise raid led by senior police officials here, a large number of weapons, narcotic substances, mobile phones and SIM cards were found in the high-security Parappana Agrahara jail on the outskirts of the city.

The raid was carried out by officers of the Central Crime Branch (CCB) in the wee hours of Saturday.

“The Central Crime Branch officers conduct a raid every three months in the prison and today’s was no different. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the cells of the prisoners had not been checked and thus a raid was carried out today. During the raid, sharp objects cut from utensils provided to the prisoners, a couple of mobile phones and SIM cards were found in their possession. We are investigating further,” said Ranganath.

“We will investigate whether the jail staff were involved,” he added.

`SC Korea to roll out high-security mobile banking service

/in


The Seoul-based branch, a wholly owned subsidiary of London-based Standard Chartered said the mobile banking services will have 5G quantum security technology applied, a first for a commercial bank here.

The services will be offered to users of the Samsung Galaxy A Quantum smartphone, in which a quantum random number generator (QRNG) chipset is embedded, offering the strongest level of encryption and protection.

SK Telecom, the country’s largest mobile carrier, will be sole provider of the android-based mobile phone that offers the services.

QRNG is a technology that creates unpredictable quantum random numbers without patterns by utilizing the characteristics of protons.

This technology in theory greatly improves security by using the most complete random number to generate cryptographic keys, allowing more secure encryption of customer information.

Customers with Galaxy A Quantum handsets can as a result make financial transactions safer, such as opening accounts and transferring money through the mobile banking app.

“The most important factor for customers who use mobile financial services through online channels is security that protects the safety of transactions,” said a Standart Chartered Bank Korea official said.

“We will continue to play a leading role in customer convenience and digital innovation as well as customer information protection through partnerships with various finctech firms.”

Meanwhile, SK Telecom is discussing with various smartphone manufacturers about incorporating QRNG chipsets in their devices.

The bank will offer the services to such smartphones.

Led by CEO Park Jong-bok, the Korean branch reported a net profit of 900 million won ($813,000) in the third quarter of 2020. The figure for the first nine months was 182.9 billion won.
