PayPal just revealed PayPal World, a global payment platform that lets users pay internationally using their local wallets—think UPI in India or WeChat Pay in China. Partnering with fintech giants like NPCI, Tencent, and Mercado Pago, this move could finally untangle the messy world of cross-border payments. Even non-PayPal users can receive money. Imagine sending UPI to a U.S. store or paying in China via PayPal—it’s that seamless. With 2 billion users in sight, this could be a game changer. Honestly, it’s about time someone made global payments feel local.

A massive cyber espionage attack just exposed a serious flaw in Microsoft’s SharePoint servers, hitting around 100 organizations, mostly in the U.S. and Germany. Dubbed a “zero-day” exploit, the hackers slipped in undetected using a vulnerability Microsoft hadn’t patched yet. Security experts say this could be just the tip of the iceberg, with thousands more servers still at risk. While Microsoft rushed out a fix, experts warn patching alone might not be enough. Google linked the attack to a China-based group, but the full scope remains unclear.
