/in


Former Aussie superstar Lochinvar Art (Modern Art) is ready to launch his US harness racing career.

Lochinvar Art

That’s the report from trainer Shane Tritton after the former Victoria and Hunter Cup winner sparkled in a qualifying trial at the famed Meadowlands track this morning (Jan 22 Aussie time) .

Lochinvar Art cruised away from his rivals to win by about three lengths in a 1min52.1sec mile.

“He was sensational,” Tritton said.

“He did that in first gear today, which is exactly what we hoped for.

“The longer we can do that the better, but he’s ready for a race now.

“We’ve some thinking to do … whether we race him this week or wait a fortnight.

“His first run or two will likely be at The Meadowlands. He won’t trial again, he’s off the races now.

“We’re really happy with him and hopefully it’s the start of an exciting time.”

Lochinvar Art was sent to the US by owner Kevin Gordon after having a small bleed in the lead-up to the Victoria Cup in early October, last year.

Gordon felt he needed to go to the US where Tritton and his wife, Lauren, could treat the superstar pacer with Lasix when he races.

“The timing of when he came was perfect because we haven’t had to rush him at all,” Tritton said.

“Even now, he won’t be fully wound-up when he goes to the races, we can build him as we go.

“There’s that series called the Borgata here in March (at Yonkers). That’s the first target and it will give us a guide as to where to take him when the bigger races start.

“We’re obviously hoping he measures up to the very best races and if he gets right back to his best he should, but there are so many options over here for a horse like him.”

Fake Pokémon NFT game spreads malware, ‘Jai Ho’ singer to launch metaverse and more

Hackers hide malware in fake NFT game

A phishing website purporting to offer a Pokémon-branded nonfungible token (NFT) card game has been spreading malware to unsuspecting gamers, a cybersecurity firm has warned.

The website, which at the time of writing was still online, also claims to offer an NFT marketplace, with a link to buy tokens, and even an area to stake NFTs — all based on the popular Japanese media franchise.

However, an arm of the South Korean cybersecurity firm AhnLab warned the public about the website on Jan. 6, noting that instead of downloading agame, users were actually downloading a remote access tool that allows hackers to take control of their device.

A screenshot of the phishing website. The “Play on PC” link at the bottom of the image downloads the malware.

The tool, known as NetSupport Manager, would allow the attackers to remotely control the computer’s mouse and keyboard, access the system’s file management and history and even execute commands allowing them to install additional malware, the firm warned.

The public has been advised to only purchase or download applications from official websites and not open attachments in suspicious emails.

The composer behind ‘Jai Ho’ to spin up metaverse

Allah Rakha Rahman, the Indian composer and singer known for the Grammy Award-winning song “Jai Ho,” is launching his own metaverse platform for artists and their music.

Rahman tweeted on Jan. 6 that his “Katraar” metaverse “is one step closer to launching.” He attached a video of him explaining the upcoming platform, which will use “decentralized technology,” according to its website.

In the video, Rahman said his vision for the platform was to “bring in new talents, technologies, and […] direct revenue for artists,” with one revenue stream seemingly the integration of NFTs.

Announced at CES 2023, automakers now have a powerful and cost-effective in-cabin monitoring solution for space-constrained areas that also meets the strict European regulations

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Seeing Machines Limited (LSE: SEE), the advanced computer vision technology company that designs AI-powered operator monitoring systems to improve transport safety, and OMNIVISION, a leading global developer of semiconductor solutions, including advanced digital imaging, analog, and touch & display technology, today announced the successful integration of Seeing Machines’ leading in-cabin monitoring system technology (ICMS) with the OMNIVISION OAX4600 system-on-chip (SoC) platform.

Optimized by Seeing Machines’ Occula® neural processing unit (NPU), the OMNIVISION OAX4600 will provide automakers with a new, powerful, and cost-effective solution to meet and exceed the regulatory requirements associated with the European Commission’s General Safety Regulation as well as Europe’s New Car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP) protocols.

Working closely together, OMNIVISION and Seeing Machines have integrated Seeing Machines’ embedded driver monitoring engine (e-DME) into the OAX4600 SoC silicon, which is specifically targeted toward the expanding automotive ICMS market. The Seeing Machines e-DME makes use of the Occula NPU integrated in the OAX4600 to reduce the load on the on-board Arm processors while accelerating the core tracking pipeline.

When paired with OMNIVISION’s broad range of high-resolution, wide-field-of-view automotive RGB-IR sensors or near-infrared (NIR) sensors, the OAX4600 device, integrated with Seeing Machines’ robust automotive ICMS solution, enables a powerful combination of performance, cost and power efficiency in a form factor that allows it to be packaged into space-constrained areas of the vehicle.

“We are very happy to be working with OMNIVISION to bring our Occula NPU to the market integrated with the OAX4600 SoC,” said Paul McGlone, CEO, Seeing Machines. “Seeing Machines’ software and hardware embedding capabilities, combined with OMNIVISION’s automotive camera sensor and design expertise, are clearly demonstrated with this silicon.

Delhi AIIMS server hacking: A special cell of Delhi Police has launched an investigation into the alleged malware attack in the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi. According to official sources, a team of the Central Forensic Lab (CFSL) has been pressed into the service to check the infected server of the AIIMS Delhi to identify the source of the malware attack.

A joint team of CFSL Delhi and Ahmadabad is also trying to ascertain if the attack was initiated from outside the country.The Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations (IFSO) unit of Delhi police, which was earlier known as the Cyber Prevention Awareness Detection (CyPAD) unit, has also initiated a parallel investigation, said IFSO sources. “The exact source of hacking is not known yet,” they said.

Official sources said that multiple departments of the Union Home Ministry and IT Ministry are involved in the rectification and restoration of servers affected in the alleged malware attack. The sources said that a formal investigation to ascertain how the AIIMS Delhi’s servers were hacked has been initiated by Delhi Police, while a team of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has also reached AIIMS Delhi and joined the investigation. “The CFSL’s report is awaited, and the Delhi police will release an official statement only after the report,” sources said.

The AIIMS Delhi reported a failure in its servers on November 23, and the servers remain out of order ever since then. Two of the analysts deployed to look after the servers’ securities have also been suspended for the alleged breach of cyber security. AIIMS Delhi authorities in a statement issued on Tuesday last claimed that the e-Hospital data has been restored.

“The eHospital data has been restored on the servers. The network is being sanitized before the services can be restored. The process is taking some time due to the volume of data and the large number of servers/computers for the hospital services. Measures are being taken for cyber…
