More →A new angle for AI anti-fraud: proactively getting scammed to extract fraud intelligence for regulators to shut down
Cointime news: AI anti-fraud startup apate.ai has recently drawn attention. The company deploys anywhere from several thousand to about 350,000 AI agents that masquerade as ordinary victims of different ages and accents, answering scam calls around the clock, replying to phishing text messages, clicking malicious links, and infiltrating scammer group chats. The core mission is to play dumb and stall for time, extracting intelligence such as scammers' bank card numbers, crypto wallets, and fake websites, then packaging it and providing it to banks and telecom companies for blocking purposes. The company says it has completed over 2.5 million conversations, cumulatively occupying about 17 years of scammers' working time and extracting more than 250,000 pieces of actionable intelligence. Its clients include Commonwealth Bank of Australia, TPG Telecom, and others, with some institutions publicly reporting significantly reduced fraud losses. In August 2026, apate.ai completed an $8.15 million seed round, bringing cumulative funding to nearly $10 million, and is advancing global expansion, including establishing a London office and strengthening its presence in the United States.

India restricts the use of sugarcane as a feedstock for ethanol production to curb rising sugar prices.
India restricts the use of sugarcane as a raw material for ethanol production to curb rising sugar prices. According to foreign media reports, India has ordered state-owned fuel retailers to stop purchasing ethanol produced from sugar and the main sugarcane raw material, a move that may help curb rising sugar prices. The measure will take effect in the new supply year beginning November 1 in India. Previously, drought conditions in summer hit sugarcane production, causing global sugar prices to soar. Indian state-owned oil refining companies Indian Oil Corporation, Bharat Petroleum Corporation, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation, Numaligarh Refinery, and Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals jointly issued a tender announcement, planning to purchase nearly 11 billion liters of ethanol for the new supply year, and cited the government's new directive in the announcement. According to the tender document released on Friday, "this quantity tender does not accept bids for ethanol produced from sugarcane juice, sugar, syrup, and B-grade molasses." India is the world's second-largest sugar producer.
