Reacting to the news of O’Connor’s arrest on Instagram, Thorne wrote: ‘I want to thank the FBI for searching tirelessly for the person who made my life and others a living hell.’

On deciding to share her own nudes in wake of the hack, Bella said that she has ‘felt violated many times in my life, but I thought I didn’t have a way out, so I made a choice. 

‘My choice. A choice I didn’t want to make but felt I had to because I wouldn’t spend another day feeling someone was taking away from me my body, my soul, my mental health, and my love and hope for the world,’ she wrote. 

‘So thank you, FBI, for a step in the right direction and just one less bad guy to worry about. Today I woke up with hope again, and a weight lifted off my shoulders.’

Although she is overjoyed by the arrest, Thorne took a moment to ‘get something across that I have wanted to say for a long time.

‘For all the people who think because a woman is comfortable with their body and how they portray themselves that they are «asking for it,» for the people who think «she deserves it» because she was there or had a beer in her hand or wore a short skirt, and for the people that think because she took the photo she deserves to be humiliated with it – and she deserves for everyone to look at it and inscribe every piece and bit of her in their mind.

‘Or because she took the photo, she deserves that one moment to follow her, taunt her for the rest of her life through every waking moment.

‘To those who made those remarks, they were disgusting. I hope you feel disgusting. To those few people. Sincerely f**k you,’ concluded the former Disney star.

Earlier this year the Florida teenager accused of masterminding the attack was sentenced to three years in juvenile prison in a plea agreement.

Graham Ivan Clark, 18, described as the mastermind of the July 2020 ‘Bit-Con’ worldwide hack, was sentenced to the maximum allowed under Florida’s Youthful Offender Act.

Clark was 17 when he was charged, and his case was transferred to a Florida state court because of his juvenile status.

According to authorities, Clark used his access to Twitter’s internal systems to take over the accounts of several companies and celebrities and used a combination of ‘technical breaches and social engineering,’ netting some $100,000.

A tweet that appeared on Tesla founder Musk’s Twitter feed said: ‘Happy Wednesday! I am giving back Bitcoin to all of my followers. I am doubling all payments sent to the Bitcoin address below. You send 0.1 BTC, I send 0.2 BTC back!’

It added that the offer was ‘only going on for 30 minutes.’

Twitter said at the time that the July 15 incident stemmed from a ‘spear phishing’ attack which deceived employees about the origin of the messages.

Stocks brace for blockbuster earnings week, pause after 8 days of…

By Saikat Chatterjee

LONDON, Oct 25 (Reuters) – World stocks held their ground on Monday after eight consecutive sessions of gains, as traders weighed the prospects of strong corporate earnings in the backdrop of widening inflation risks from multi-year high crude oil prices.

European stocks edged higher in early London trading while U.S.

stock futures held firm as investors shrugged off the possible impact from news of a pilot property tax in China and ongoing troubles in the sector.

While the broader economic momentum has slowed in recent weeks and market-implied inflation risks have increased with break-even rates on both sides of the Atlantic racing to multi-year highs, equity markets have been broadly unfazed.

MSCI’s broadest index of world stocks steadied below an early September high after notching up eight consecutive sessions of gains, its longest winning streak since late May, according to Refinitiv data.

European stocks steadied while U.S.

stock futures tiptoed higher as a busy week for third-quarter corporate earnings get underway.

«Equity markets have had a kitchen sink of worries thrown at them – slower growth, rising costs, and higher interest rates. However, corporate earnings have more than offset those declines so far in 2021,» said Marija Veitmane, 비트겟 킹스컵 a senior strategist at State Street Global Markets.

«Peak growth clearly is not peak earnings as we have been highlighting.»

Of the 117 S&P 500 companies that have reported earnings so far, 65% have exceeded consensus expectations by at least a standard deviation of analyst estimates, a rate if sustained would rank the September quarter among the strongest on record behind an already strong first half, according to Goldman Sachs.

In Europe, the number of companies that have beaten expectations in the third quarter is now past 60%, according to Refinitiv I/B/E/S data.

On Monday, Facebook will kick off earnings for tech giants with other heavyweights including Microsoft, Apple and Alphabet, and European and Asian financial behemoths from Deutsche Bank to Lloyds will report later in the week.

Strong corporate earnings have also stalled the U.S.

dollar’s recent advance even as money markets have advanced their expectations of policy tightening.

The dollar index held near a one-month low of 93.483, down 0.16% on the day as hedge funds cut their dollar long positions for a second consecutive week.

The risk friendlier mood has weighed on safe-haven currencies like the yen, as have rising energy prices which supported currencies including the Aussie and Canadian dollars.

Traders are waiting for the third-quarter U.S.

GDP figures due Thursday, with flash euro area CPI readings for October also a key indicator after the gauge jumped to a 2008 high last month.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell on Friday said the U.S. central bank should start the process of reducing its support of the economy by cutting back on its asset purchases, but should not yet touch interest rates.

As tapering looms, 비트겟 킹스컵 U.S.

benchmark yields have been rising and yields on 10-year Treasury notes held below a five-month high of 1.7064% hit last week.

Oil prices rose further, with U.S. crude hitting a seven-year high as global supply remained tight amid strong demand worldwide.

Brent crude rose 0.83% to $86.24 a barrel, while U.S. crude rose 0.80% to $84.51.

Spot gold rose 0.36% to $1,798 an ounce after posting gains for the past two weeks on rising inflation concerns, and the weakening dollar.

Bitcoin, another asset oft described as an inflation hedge, was last at $62,000, up 1.8% after last week’s turbulent trade when it hit a new high of $67,016.

FOREX-Risk-sensitive currencies perked up by Evergrande, dollar…

Comments

By Ritvik Carvalho

LONDON, Sept 22 (Reuters) – Risk-sensitive currencies such as the Australian dollar and Chinese yuan jumped and the safe-haven yen eased slightly on Wednesday after Chinese property giant Evergrande said it would make an upcoming yuan bond coupon payment, allaying immediate fears of a default.

Some of the excitement fizzled, however, after traders realised it was still not known whether the developer would be able to pay the coupon on its offshore dollar bonds, due on Thursday.

The Australian dollar rose as much as 0.49% to $0.7268 before giving up part of the gains to trade at $0.7247, up 0.2% on the day.

The yen weakened about 0.2% to 109.43 to the dollar, showing little reaction to the Bank of Japan’s decision to keep policy on hold.

«Risk assets are navigating calmer waters this morning, as the reopening of Chinese markets after a four-day holiday saw the People’s Bank of China pump extra liquidity into the banking system through reverse repurchase agreements,» ING said in a note to clients.

«Also contributing to limiting losses in Chinese equities was the news that Evergrande has negotiated an interest payment for its 5.8% 2025 bond due tomorrow. As a consequence, U.S. stock futures are pointing at a positive open, and the FX market saw a dominance of risk-on moves with commodity currencies gaining against safe-havens this morning.»

Investors are still nervous about the fate of Evergrande, which missed interest payments due on Monday to at least two of its largest bank creditors, Bloomberg reported.

The dollar index stood at 93.226 in early London trade, staying not far off Monday’s one-month high of 93.455.

The euro hardly budged at $1.1725, having stabilised at a one-month low of $1.1700 on Monday.

Earlier, the common currency dropped to a seven-month low of 127.93 yen, as the safe-haven Japanese currency was supported by the cautious mood.

The Chinese yuan was fairly stable, firming slightly to 6.4748 per dollar in offshore trade, edging back from one-month low of 6.4878 set on Monday.

FED LIFTOFF

Another major focus for the day is the U.S.

Federal Reserve, which is expected to drop more hints on its future policy path, including when to start tapering its bond buying and when to start raising interest rates.

There are rising expectations the central bank will signal plans to start reducing its massive bond purchases in November if incoming data holds up.

The so-called «dot plot», which charts policymakers economic and 비트겟 KCGI 대회 rates projections, 비트겟 킹스컵 could offer clues on when the Fed will hike interest rates from the current near zero level.

«Longer-dated U.S. Treasury yields continue to coil in a very constricted range and Fed expectations have been stuck in neutral for weeks, with neither budging notably on the recent market volatility in risky assets,» said Steen Jakobsen, chief investment officer at Saxo Bank.

«This suggests little anticipation of a surprise at today´s FOMC meeting and keeps the bar rather low for a hawkish surprise scenario, as the Fed has been seen as unlikely to shift current expectations, with Fed Chair Powell´s dovish Jackson Hole speech on transitory inflation and a lower-than-expected August CPI data.»

10-year U.S.

Treasury yields traded at 1.3260%, within recent ranges.

Elsewhere, the Canadian dollar stood little changed, King’s cup having pared gains made on Tuesday after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals won a tightly-contested election.

Cryptocurrencies bounced back a tad after plunges in the previous session.

Bitcoin rose 5% to $42,754 after having hit a 1-1/2-month low of $39,573.

Ether bounced 6% to $2,950, having fallen to as low as $2,732, down more than 30% from a four-month peak hit earlier this month.

The United States on Tuesday unveiled sanctions against a cryptocurrency exchange over its alleged role in enabling illegal payments from ransomware attacks.
