    Vande Mataram Bill Passed: Insulting National Song Punishable

    The Prevention of Insults to National Honour (Amendment) Bill, also known as the Vande Mataram Bill, has been passed by both houses of the Indian Parliament. The bill makes it a punishable offense to intentionally prevent the singing of 'Vande Mataram' or disrupt an assembly where it is sung. The penalty includes up to three years imprisonment, a fine, or both, with repeat offenders facing at least one year in prison. The bill aims to grant India's national song the same legal protection as the national flag and anthem. The passage of the bill has sparked debate and criticism from opposition parties, who argue that it is an attempt to communalize the issue and push a Hindutva agenda.

    Coinkite Warns of Coldcard Mk3 Seed Vulnerability

    Coinkite has issued a security advisory warning Coldcard Mk3 users that their funds may be at risk due to a seed generation flaw. Users who generated a seed on a Mk3 running firmware 4.0.1 (March 2021) or later are advised to migrate their funds immediately to a new seed generated on an unaffected device. The warning comes as investigators probe a recent theft of 594 BTC from hundreds of single-signature wallets, though no evidence has confirmed a link between the two incidents. Coinkite has not ruled out the possibility that the Mk3 flaw may have contributed to the thefts.
