Massive data breach exposes 3 million American's private information

Rejection by a potential employer can be heartbreaking, especially if it carries a needless aggressive and rude tone. Such a rejection mail recently went viral on the social media platform Reddit, which warned the candidate not to “apply again” or simply get blacklisted.

The mail was sent by a US-based IT firm Elite Software Automation to a candidate who had applied for the position of Frontend Software Engineer. The mail was shared on the Reddit forum “antiwork” on Thursday (Jan 4) and has since accumulated 900 upvotes and hundreds of comments.

<h2>Details of the ‘rude’ rejection mail</h2>

The email begins by thanking the candidate for applying for the position but soon turns aggressive. It warns that the candidate will be blacklisted permanently if they try to apply for the same position before the end of the year or ask for a second opportunity.

"Any repeated attempts to apply for this position again before this time, or any attempts to retake the test will lead to an automated decline of your application, as well as blacklisting of your profile from any further applications," the email read.

‘Don’t apply again,’ US firm’s rude rejection letter invites condemnation from internet

The Indian Army has started inducting its newly acquired <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/india-signs-rs-700-crore-contract-with-us-firm-for-72400-assault-rifles-to-replace-insas-196981">American SiG Sauer assault rifles</a> for counter-terrorist operations.

According to the sources, the first lot of 10,000 SiG 716 assault rifles has arrived in India and has been sent to the Northern Command.

In February this year, India had signed a contract for procurement of 72,400 assault rifles from the US-based (it was originally German) company Sig Sauer.&nbsp;

All of the 72,400 rifles were scheduled to be delivered within 12 months of the date of signing of the contract.&nbsp;

The deal was for 72,400 rifles and worth around Rs 700 crore under the fast-track procurement (FTP) route.&nbsp;

According to Sig Sauer's website, the company is a "New Hampshire-based weapons systems provider leading the industry in American innovation, ingenuity, and manufacturing".

This is a rifle that will be used by an infantry soldier and a big move at infantry modernization.

The Indian armed forces are presently equipped with 5.56*45 mm INSAS Rifle. These INSAS rifles will be replaced with 7.62*51 mm assault rifle which according to defence ministry is compact, robust, modern in technology and simple to maintain in field conditions.

Of the 72 400 rifles, Indian army will get 66400, Indian Navy will get 2000, the Indian air force will get 4000.

The development comes even as India is engaging with the US for its defence needs.&nbsp;

Since 2008, the US has bagged more than $18 billion in arms contracts from India.&nbsp;

These including the C-17 Globemaster and C-130J transport planes, P-8 (I) maritime reconnaissance aircraft, M777 light-weight howitzer, Harpoon missiles and Apache and Chinook helicopters.

The development comes days after, United States state department has approved sale of Two Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures (LAIRCM) Self Protection Suites (SPS) for Boeing aircraft to be used in India.

To modernise army's weaponry, India buys 72,400 Sig Sauer rifles

Malaysia signed a deal on Wednesday to pay a US seabed exploration firm up to $70 million if it finds the missing Malaysia Airlines aircraft MH370 within 90 days of embarking on a new search in the Southern Indian ocean.

The disappearance of the aircraft en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in March 2014 with 239 people aboard ranks among the world&#39;s greatest aviation mysteries.

Australia, China and Malaysia ended a fruitless A$200-million ($157 million) search of a 120,000 sq km area in January last year, despite investigators urging the search be extended to a 25,000-square-km area further to the north.

Malaysian transport minister Liow Tiong Lai said a Houston-based private firm, Ocean Infinity, would search for MH370 in that 25,000-sq-km priority area on a &quot;no-cure, no-fee&quot; basis, meaning it will only get paid if it finds the plane.

&quot;As we speak, the vessel, Seabed Constructor, is on her way to the search area, taking advantage of favourable weather conditions in the South Indian ocean,&quot; Liow told a news conference. 
The search will begin on January 17, said Ocean Infinity Chief Executive Oliver Plunkett, who attended the signing event.

Ocean Infinity will be paid $20 million if the plane is found within 5,000 sq km, $30 million if it is found within 10,000 square km and $50 million if it is found within an area of 25,000 square km. Beyond that area, Ocean Infinity will receive $70 million, Liow said.

Its priority is to locate the wreckage or the flight and cockpit recorders, and present credible evidence to confirm their location within 90 days, Liow added.

&quot;They cannot take forever or drag it on for another six months or a year.&quot;

&#39;Unique solution&#39;

Ocean Infinity&#39;s vessel carries eight autonomous underwater vehicles that will scour the seabed with scanning equipment for information to be sent back for analysis.

It has 65 crew, including two government representatives drawn from the Malaysian navy.

The ship could complete the search within three or four weeks, and cover up to 60,000 square km in 90 days, or four times faster than earlier efforts, Plunkett told Reuters.

&quot;It was a unique problem that required a unique solution ... We looked at it and said, &#39;Let&#39;s do something different than what other people would do,&#39; and that&#39;s the essence of our business.&quot;

Ocean Infinity&#39;s core business is in the oil and gas industry, as well as subsea exploration services for tasks such as underwater cabling and seabed mapping, he said.

The company&#39;s shareholders would bear the upfront costs of the search, Plunkett added.

Debris from MH370 could provide clues to events on board before the crash. There have been competing theories that the aircraft suffered mechanical failure or was intentionally flown off course.

Investigators believe someone may have deliberately switched off the plane&#39;s transponder before diverting it thousands of miles out over the Indian Ocean.

At least three pieces of debris collected from sites on Indian Ocean islands and along Africa&#39;s east coast have been confirmed as being from the missing plane.

Ocean Infinity will be paid $20 mn if the plane is found within 5,000 sq km, $30 mn if it is found within 10,000 sq km and $50 mn if it is found within an area of 25,000 sq km. Beyond that area, firm will receive $70 mn
