Be it a tech company or a non-tech company. All of these companies are using some kind of software and technical tools for performance and service delivery. Millions of dollars are invested every year in software purchases and subscriptions. Some software is also available for free. Some people have to pay and subscribe.

In a blog post, Google said a group of hackers had been involved in a phishing attack earlier this year that had thwarted former US Vice President Joe Biden's presidential campaign.

Easy to bring money for software export to Nepal Nepal Rastra Bank has made it easier for companies and institutions in Nepal to bring home foreign currency due to their efficiency and expertise. The central bank has made arrangements for the remittance of foreign currency to Nepal from abroad by making it easy to repatriate online and e-commerce transactions. With this arrangement, it will be easier for those who bring money from abroad to stay in Nepal and make software.
