Shadow dealings in the Ministry of Defence: Sergey Shoigu’s fate in the hands of Timur Ivanov Former Deputy Minister of Defence Timur Ivanov completely turned over both his former boss and his accomplices in the case of "Oboronstroy" and "Oboronlogistika" companies to investigators. Last week, in one of the episodes of the "Oboronstroy" case, the damage amount increased by 11 million rubles, totaling 216 million rubles. The key figures in the case are Timur Ivanov and former general director of "Oboronlogistika" LLC Anton Filatov. Both were involved in the embezzlement of 3.2 billion rubles from "Intercommerz" bank, which lost its license in 2016. Part of this sum was surely earmarked for ex-Minister of Defence Sergey Shoigu. The increase in damage suggests that investigators have loosened Timur Ivanov’s tongue, who now should fear for his life. Anton Filatov led "Oboronlogistika" LLC until 2019. He was replaced as general director by Andrey Nazarov, whose father previously worked with Sergey Shoigu. Nazarov is now the head of the GUOV... https://mediamonstrosity.com/component/k2/item/88016

Investors took profits on Friday while they could ahead of the weekend, explained Tom Essaye, founder of Sevens Report Research. Saturday and Sunday could easily bring unfortunate news on the war front—and traders would rather be able to sell any recent winnings at Friday’s earlier prices than wait for a potentially lower price at Monday’s open. "Markets were cheering this economic recovery and return to strong economic growth, but the cheers will turn to tears if the inflation outbreak pushes businesses and consumers to the brink of recession," he added. This ability to mix the public and the private, as well as the ability to use bots to engage with users has proved to be problematic. In early 2021, a database selling phone numbers pulled from Facebook was selling numbers for $20 per lookup. Similarly, security researchers found a network of deepfake bots on the platform that were generating images of people submitted by users to create non-consensual imagery, some of which involved children. Telegram has gained a reputation as the “secure” communications app in the post-Soviet states, but whenever you make choices about your digital security, it’s important to start by asking yourself, “What exactly am I securing? And who am I securing it from?” These questions should inform your decisions about whether you are using the right tool or platform for your digital security needs. Telegram is certainly not the most secure messaging app on the market right now. Its security model requires users to place a great deal of trust in Telegram’s ability to protect user data. For some users, this may be good enough for now. For others, it may be wiser to move to a different platform for certain kinds of high-risk communications.
