State’s responsibility is to equip people for emerging opportunities, not just for current jobs: Sharanprakash Patil

Held under the theme ‘Workforce 2030: Scale, Systems, Synergy’, the summit brings together policymakers, industry leaders, employers, educational institutions, skill development organisations, and other stakeholders to discuss the future of workforce development, industry-aligned skills, and employment pathways. Patil, Minister for Large and Medium Industries, stated that Karnataka offers a strong industrial ecosystem, investor-friendly policies, and a skilled workforce to support future-ready industries. Guruprasad Mudlapur, president of the Bosch Group in India and managing director and chief technology officer of Bosch Limited, noted that India’s economic opportunity depends entirely on the capabilities of its people, making skill development a profound economic and social imperative. “The industry cannot remain at the end of the skilling value chain waiting to recruit; we must actively participate in anticipating future capabilities, shaping learning, and strengthening trainers,” he urged. Rangesh Raghavan, corporate vice-president and MD of LAM Research India, stated that building advanced industries like semiconductors requires a greater focus on talent than infrastructure. One great thing about the talent pool that Karnataka has is the ability to learn, unlearn, and relearn.’’ Other senior Ministers who attended the opening ceremony included Basavaraja Rayareddy, Minister for Higher Education, and Zamir Ahmed Khan, Minister for Food, Civil Supplies, and Consumer Affairs. Shilpa M., Commissioner, Department of Industrial Training and Employment, Ravi M.

Researchers warned of North Korean hacking tactics years before record $6.3B Binance heist

Crypto giant Binance says North Korean hackers used fake social media profiles and the lure of a potential job offer as part of a months-long scheme aimed at tricking an employee into downloading malicious software onto their laptop. Researchers have repeatedly warned about long-running social engineering attacks that can go on for months. This latest attack allowed the hackers to patiently worm their way into Binance’s systems to steal a record $6.3 billion in crypto last week, the company has now confirmed. The hack, disclosed in an updated statement posted on X on Tuesday, prompted the world’s largest crypto exchange to suspend customer withdrawals across its network. The FBI and blockchain investigators have blamed North Korea for the heist. The country has been long accused of carrying out massive cryptocurrency thefts in recent years to fund its internationally sanctioned nuclear weapons program. In its latest statement, Binance said that North Korean hackers, posing as recruiters hiring for a job, contacted a software engineer who works on wallets at the company. Following two interviews with the purported company, the engineer was instructed to download an apparent coding assignment as part of the interview process. While Binance replaced that compromised engineer’s laptop, the hackers used the engineer’s stolen credentials to break into the computer of a third engineer, whose job allowed them access to systems capable of controlling billions of dollars in crypto. While the case exposes how North Korean hackers use social engineering, such as offers of employment, to trick employees into granting access to their systems, it’s ultimately the responsibility of the company to ensure its systems cannot run unauthorized or untrusted software that could cause a compromise.

September 2026 JOLTS Report: Eerily Quiet

Key points: Job openings were little changed at 7.5 million in September. The layoff rate was 1% in September, still within the narrow range it has held since mid-2024. The US labor market has rarely been this still, even in the face of climbing energy prices, stubborn inflation, and staggering amounts of money being poured into AI infrastructure and data center buildouts. The economy has been making plenty of noise, but the labor market has remained fairly silent. Churn hasn’t been this sluggish for this long since the early 2010s, when the economy was still digging out of the Great Recession. Employers are hiring at the slowest pace since 2013, and workers are quitting at the slowest pace since 2015. Job seekers are clearly losing out, but even workers who have jobs may not be coming out ahead. It’s a good time to have a job, if only because it’s hard to lose one. Indeed job postings recently recorded a year-over-year gain for the first time in more than four years , a sign that employer demand may be thawing. The post September 2026 JOLTS Report: Eerily Quiet appeared first on Indeed Hiring Lab .
