What began as a case of digital negligence at a Rajkot hospital turned into one of India’s most disturbing cybercrimes.

Hackers infiltrated the CCTV system of Payal Maternity Hospital using a default password – admin123 – and extracted hours of sensitive footage, later sold through global porn networks, reported The Times of India (TOI).

Stretched between January and December 2024, the breach led to the theft of at least 50,000 clips from facilities across the country.

65% of India live in rural areas. But roughly 75-80% of its doctors are based in cities.

That stark imbalance, reflected in a doctor-population ratio of 1:1456, exposes a brutal truth: millions of Indians still struggle to access basic medical care. From delayed diagnoses to overburdened urban hospitals, the consequences ripple across generations.

Yet, a shift is underway. Government programs like Ayushman Bharat, tech-enabled initiatives like eSanjeevani, and a growing ecosystem of startups are reframing the healthcare conversation – from scarcity to…

Musk this time accused Altman of stealing a non-profit on his social media platform X, responding to Altman’s post about “7.5 years” wait for a Tesla car.

“You stole a non-profit,” Musk wrote. Altman, in his defence, told Musk that he too had no intention of operating it as a non-profit and wanted Tesla to take over OpenAI.
