Venomous snakes in the streets of Ulaanbaatar www.news.mn

Venomous snakes have been discovered lurking in the streets of Ulaanbaatar. Mongolia’s National Emergency Management Agency on Friday warned citizens to beware of venomous snakes after several Shield-Nose snakes were found in residential areas of the capital.
Over 30 snake alerts have been made in the residential Khan-Uul, Bayanzurkh and Songinokhairkhan Districts of Ulaanbaatar so far this year. So far, two people have died after having been bitten by snakes in Mongolia.
Most recently, a man died at the National Trauma and Orthopedic Research Centre on 6 August four days after being bitten by a snake. The victim was bitten by snake while camping in Khan-Uul District of Ulaanbaatar.
There are two species of snakes which are common in Ulaanbaatar – the Gloydius Halys (venomous) and Elaphe Dione (non-venomous). The explanations for the appearance of the snakes on the streets of the capital is that, firstly, they may be being attracted to the residential areas in search of food, and secondly, that they may have been brought in by flooding.

Crypto hacker offered reward after $600m heist www.bbc.com

A hacker who stole just over $600m (£433m) worth of cryptocurrency was offered $500,000 and immunity as a reward for returning the money.
Poly Network made the controversial offer after the hacker pledged to send back the money.
The attack was uncovered on Tuesday when Poly Network publicly pleaded with the hacker to help.
One former FBI official said "private companies have no authority to promise immunity from criminal prosecution".
The attack is one of the largest hacking heists in history. Poly Network said the person had exploited a vulnerability in its system.
Most of the money has now been given back, although the hacker says they are not interested in the reward.
Shortly after the hack the anonymous individual posted notes to the publicly available blockchain taunting the company and asking for advice on how to launder his stolen riches.
Later, the criminal claimed "not to be interested in money" and promised to return it all.
By Thursday evening, Poly Network said most of the remaining assets in the hacker's possession had been transferred to a digital wallet controlled by both the hacker and the company.
Poly Network says it is still waiting for the repayment process to be fully completed but that it is working with the hacker.
A portion of the stolen coins were frozen shortly after the attack have not yet been transferred but can't be used by the hacker anyway.
"The hacker still holds $33.4m of stolen Tether [tokens] - because it has been frozen by Tether themselves," Tom Robinson, co-founder of Elliptic, a London-based blockchain analytics and compliance firm, told the BBC.
He added that it could be seen on the blockchain that "a few thousand dollars' worth of various other tokens" were being held onto by the hacker.
It was not clear, however, if these were part of the stolen assets, or donations that the hacker requested people to send them on Thursday as a thank you for returning the money.
Other money outstanding also includes a 13.37 Ether tip ($40,000), which the hacker sent to a user who warned them that the Tether tokens had been frozen by its developer.
In a three page Q&A posted online the anonymous hacker claimed he or she carried out the heist for fun and to encourage cryptocurrency exchange firm Poly Networks to improve its security.

Regulations updated for issuance of Mongolian visa www.montsame.mn

The Government of Mongolia approved the updated regulations for the issuance of Mongolian visa, which will be in effect from August 16.
The updated regulations include new types of visas, bringing the total number of visa types to 64.
For instance, visas will begin to be issued for those coming to Mongolia to participate in cultural and arts events and sports competitions, to create content, to transport passengers and imported goods, to travel in the border region for a day trip, to receive medical treatment, and for transit. By specifying the types of visas, it becomes possible for foreign nationals to submit their visa applications truthfully and travel to the country for their intended purposes.
Furthermore, some changes have been made to the organizations in charge of issuing the visas.

Moreover, the new regulations reflect the procedure for issuing electronic visas. Electronic visas for the purposes of tourism (K2), participating in cultural and arts events and sports competitions as well as creating films and content (K4), and transit (K6) have been made available as starters. Visa applications will be received through the website https://evisa.mn/main, with a decision being made from the Immigration Agency of Mongolia in up to three days. The list of countries whose nationals are eligible for electronic visas will be approved by a joint order of the Minister of Justice and Home Affairs and the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Changes have also been made to the validity term of visas as well as the waiting period after the refusal of a visa.
