<p>In the wake of multiple hoax bomb threats being sent to airlines, Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu said that safety is the top priority of the government and that they are amending the rules to place people who make such hoax calls on the no-fly list.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The government is also considering making such threats a cognisable offence and including&nbsp;provisions for fines and punishment.</p>

<p>Speaking at a press conference on Monday (Oct 21), Naidu said that although the threats were found to be hoaxes, his department as well as the airlines are following a strict protocol.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It is a very sensitive situation when it comes to such threats; there is an international procedure that we have to follow," the minister said.</p>

Indian government mulls putting culprits of hoax bomb calls on ‘no-fly list’

<p>A threat issued by Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun last year, warning regular flyers of Air India to avoid travelling on the airlines on November 19, is being widely circulated on social media at a time when hoax bomb threats have been sent to almost 100 flights in the last seven days&nbsp;in India.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The video is being shared by various social media users who are alerting the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) about the threat that was given by Pannun last year.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This has also resurfaced at a time when the Indian government is co-operating with the United States in the investigation of an alleged Pannun killing plot.</p>

<p>In the video, the founder of Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) Pannun said that “an attack could occur on an Air India flight” after November 19, which marks the anniversary of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Billionaire Elon Musk said that "college is overrated." The owner of X took to social media to share a video of himself speaking about the diminishing value of traditional education and wrote in the caption that "college is overrated".&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the video, Musk was speaking at a solo event organised in support of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in Philadelphia on Thursday (October 17).</p>

<p>Speaking at the event, Musk said that a lot of people spend their college years accumulating debt and not gaining any practical, useful skills.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I think the value of a college education is somewhat overweighted. Too many people spend four years, accumulate a ton of debt, and often don't have useful skills that they can apply afterwards," Musk said.</p>

Billionaire Elon Musk said that "college is overrated." The owner of X took to social media to share a video of himself speaking about the diminishing value of traditional education and wrote in the caption that "college is overrated". In the video, Musk was speaking at a solo event organised in support of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in Philadelphia on Thursday (October 17). Speaking at the event, Musk said that a lot of people spend their college years accumulating debt and not gaining any practical, useful skills. "I think the value of a college education is somewhat overweighted. Too many people spend four years, accumulate a ton of debt, and often don't have useful skills that they can apply afterwards," Musk said.

Israeli strikes on northern Gaza kill at least 87 as Beirut attack continues

<p>In the wake of some online posts featuring the US capitol with the caption "you are next" and the recent arrest of an Afghan man, the FBI has been on its toes amid escalating fears of the Islamic State plotting some kind of terror attack in the United States in the election month.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Afghan man, 27-year-old Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, arrested by the FBI in Oklahoma, was found to be planning a shootout on an election day on behalf of the terrorist organisation Islamic State as the United States gears up for the presidential polls in November.</p>

<p>Tawhedi confessed that he and&nbsp;his co-conspirator had planned to give up their lives as IS martyrs by open firing on the crowd on the election day, according to a report published in The Guardian.</p>

<p>Speaking on the Tawhedi case, US Attorney General Merrick Garland said that there was a continuing need to “combat the ongoing threat that (IS) and its supporters pose to America’s national security”.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, head of MI5 Ken McCallum said that the agency had “one hell of a job” in managing the increasing threat coming from the resurgent terrorist organisation.</p>

<h2><strong>American targets on top of IS-K's hit list</strong></h2>

<p>After the arrest of Tawhedi, US officials later said that the plot was being allegedly directed by an operative of IS-Khorasan (IS-K), the Afghanistan-based branch.</p>

<p>IS-K also released a propaganda poster in September in which the American targets were placed at the top of its hitlist.</p>

<p>“[IS-K] has recently reiterated its intent to target the US with a poster depicting one of its militants holding a grenade in front of the US Capitol building captioned ‘you are next,’” said Lucas Webber, who is a senior threat intelligence analyst at watchdog organisation Tech Against Terrorism.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“This is additionally concerning given the branch’s mass casualty attacks on Russia and Iran, leaving the United States as the remaining adversary on this shortlist for a successful external operation,” Webber added.</p>

<p>He emphasised that Tawhedi's arrest hinted at the “uptick” in plotting of the IS against the United States.</p>

<p>“This follows a Tajik [IS suspect] arrested in Costa Rica; a central Asian network rolled up in New York City, Los Angeles and Philadelphia; as well as a&nbsp;Canada-based Pakistani national&nbsp;who was allegedly plotting an attack against a New York Jewish centre," Webber said, as reported by The Guardian.</p>

<p>The CIBIL score becomes an important factor in getting a house loan, a car loan or any other kind of loan approved at a good interest rate. So it is always advisable to maintain a good CIBIL score to prevent avoidable financial burdens&nbsp;ahead.</p>

<p>But now with the new updates introduced in the CIBIL score by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), is it still going to be easy to maintain them or will one be required to take some extra steps? Let's first understand what is CIBIL score and what are new changes introduced.</p>

<h2><strong>What is a CIBIL score?</strong></h2>

<p>CIBIL stands for&nbsp;Credit Information Bureau India Limited. CIBIL score is a 3-digit number which summarises a person's credit rating, history, and report. The CIBIL score ranges from 300 to 900. The closer the score is to 900, the better the credit rating of the borrower.</p>

<p>A good CIBIL score makes it easy for the loan to get approved and also helps the person bargain for a lower interest rate on the loan. Generally, a score of 700 is seen as a good CIBIL score.</p>

<h2><strong>What changes has RBI introduced in CIBIL score?</strong></h2>

<p>The&nbsp;RBI&nbsp;has asked lenders - like banks and NBFCs - to submit credit information reports to credit information companies (CICs) like CIBIL, every two weeks. This means that the CIBIL score will be updated fortnightly and will give a more accurate and timely representation of the credit standing of the borrower.</p>

<p>Explaining the impact of this change to WION, Bhushan Padkil, Senior Vice President and Head of Consumer Interactive (Direct To Consumer) India at TransUnion CIBIL, said, "With more frequent data reporting by banks and credit institutions, CICs will be able to update credit records faster and this will translate into more updated data being available for making informed lending decisions by credit grantors. This will also help in resolving consumer disputes faster based on updated data in the credit records."</p>

<h2><strong>How to improve your CIBIL score?</strong></h2>

<p>So now that the CIBIL score will be updated fortnightly, our expert Bhushan Padkil, Senior Vice President of TransUnion CIBIL, explains how you can improve the CIBIL score.</p>

<ul>
	<li><strong>Monitor and fact-check your CIBIL Report regularly:</strong> The best way to keep in touch with your credit activity and maintain your credit health is to monitor your CIBIL score and report regularly.</li>
	<li><strong>Pay your EMIs on time, every time: </strong>Even one missed payment can impact your CIBIL score. One way to make sure your payments are on time is to set up automatic payments or set up electronic reminders.</li>
	<li><strong>Spend within your credit limit:</strong> Ensure that you keep your credit utilisation within your credit limit. For example, if your credit card has a limit of Rs. 1 lakh per month, ensure that you do not exceed that limit.</li>
	<li><strong>Only apply for credit that you need: </strong>If you apply for a lot of credit over a short period of time, it impacts your CIBIL score. Multiple frequent enquiries may provide an impression to lenders that you are credit-hungry.</li>
</ul>

<p>But what if one's CIBIL score has&nbsp;dipped for some reason? The CIBIL score can be rebuilt with a healthy credit profile over time. Bhushan Padkil shares some good credit practices one can adopt to regain CIBIL scores.</p>

<ul>
	<li><strong>Pay off all outstanding amounts: </strong>In case of multiple loans and cards, consolidate all loans and take a single loan to pay it all off.</li>
	<li><strong>Pay timely EMIs in future: </strong>Maintain disciplined payments and EMIs to improve your CIBIL score over time.</li>
	<li><strong>Apply for credit judiciously: </strong>Keep track of your credit utilisation and apply for more credit only if you really require it.</li>
