ICYMI: Bitcoin Breaks $100k; Citadel Pushes for Four-Year Non-Competes

Having experienced the devastating consequences of online criminal activity, founder and CEO, Andrew Bud, vowed to find a safe and secure way for organizations to verify the genuine presence of an individual. To enable this to happen it was necessary to ensure that the person setting up an online account was an actual person, and then authenticate that person whenever they return to use a digital service or verify their identity at secure locations.

The Big Idea was to use facial biometrics and controlled illumination to assure the genuine presence of a human being. Why facial biometrics? Because most government-issued identity documents contain a picture of a face and an identity can be verified against a trusted source. Why controlled illumination? Because it’s completely effortless for the user – with no instructions to follow or complex actions required. Just a brief, simple selfie capture that takes just seconds to complete. This gives the most secure assurance that an individual is not an imposter, a photo, a mask, a deepfake video, or a multitude of other sophisticated cyber attack tactics being used by criminal gangs worldwide. iProov does facial verification, not facial recognition. The difference is, with verification tech like iProov's, the user consents, and derives a benefit from it.

US President Donald Trump said Iran wants to talk about deescalating the conflict with Israel even as the two sides exchanged deadly fire for the fourth consecutive day.
Asked about reports that Iran wants to work toward a resolution, Trump responded “yeah,” and added, “they’d like to talk, but they should have done that before. ”It’s painful for both parties but I would say that Iran is not winning this war,” Trump said at the start of a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at a Group of Seven leaders summit in Kananaskis, Alberta. Asked if the US would get more involved militarily, Trump said he didn’t want to discuss it.

The Wall Street Journal reported earlier Monday that Tehran is signaling it wants to de-escalate hostilities with Israel and is willing to resume nuclear talks with the US as long as Washington doesn’t join the Israeli attacks. It cited Middle Eastern and European officials it didn’t identify. A similar report by Reuters says Iran conveyed the message through Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Oman.

Oil fell on the WSJ report, with Brent futures dropping around 4% after rising over 10% Friday. US Treasuries pared earlier drops and European bonds gained as traders reacted to diminishing concerns about inflation.

About the same time as Trump was speaking, Iran’s semi-official Mehr News Agency cited a senior security official as saying the country is prepared to deliver a “major blow” to Israel following its recent strikes on Iranian cities and targets. Shortly afterward, air raid sirens sounded as Israel reported it had detected more missile launches.
