Spyware is nothing but a group of malware that spies and collects your personal and sensitive information without your consent. Often the data collected is sold or sent to the individual or a particular organisation, which is used as per their wish. So today we are here to make you understand how Spywares are used to steal your information and what you can do to keep yourself protected from this broad category of malware.Spywares are often used by cybercriminals to gain access to your personal and sensitive data. This information will further be used to track your online activity and can also be sold to an organization or individual. Furthermore, Spyware is a group of malware designed to steal your personal data such as passwords as well as your credit card numbers that leads to theft and online banking frauds. This method of stealing your private information is on the rise and used by many cybercriminals, banking Trojans, companies and ad networks.Types of Spyware and how they work?Spyware can be seen in the form of Adware, tracking cookies, Trojans, keyloggers, stalkerware, stealware and system monitors. Adware and tracking cookies work similarly they keep an eye on your online activity and displays ads in which you might be interested. Adwares are highly intrusive while the latter one is less also the former one impacts the performance of your device.While Torjans steal all your sensitive information that includes your passwords and bank account information and further sell it to third-party. This results in making fraudulent purchases, thefts and frauds.As the name suggests Keyloggers capture every stroke from your keyboard. So basically it eyes on when you log into your online accounts. Stalkerware only works for mobile phones to track the owners personal as well as professional activities to read your text messages or listen to their conversations. This method is often used by jealous spouses or by a third party. Stealware is the most common form of spyware designed to make use of online shopping sites awarding credits to websites that assigns traffic to their product pages.The system monitors records of all the activities of your device from keystrokes, emails and chat-room dialogues to websites hit, programs started, and phone calls made.All these spyware are distributed in the form of links that can be received via emails, text messages, pop-up windows in a browser, and ads on web pages. When the user clicks on the link it redirects to malicious websites. This activity is popularly known as malvertising. Sometimes an infected file is often distributed pretending to be originating with a trusted source such as a bank or any government organisation. The infected file can be deleted though, but it leaves behind the spyware that continues to snoop.Spyware is also distributed through malicious apps, however, Google and Apple keep an eye on such apps therefore by removing them from time to time. How to prevent spyware and stay safe?
Try using a built-in antivirus to protect yourself from spyware. If you are a Windows user try Windows Defender antivirus, which is free antivirus tool created by Microsoft. While Mac owners can use XProtect, which the Apple own version of Defender antivirus.
Avoid visiting unscrupulous websites as most of them spread malware by installing spyware through ads pop-ups or by a drive-by download.
The third-party professional antivirus also tries to keep you stay safe from all types of online threats that also includes spyware. Many of them are free to install but you should not hesitate to buy a subscription.
Avoid opening or downloading attachments from unknown emails.
Torrents downloads of course not. Torrent sites are the biggest hub of distributing malicious programs like malware, worms, viruses, and other malicious programs.
Say yes to periodical system updates. The manufacturers release new updates to fix common bugs and security vulnerabilities. It’s better to be safe than sorry.
Avoid downloading apps from third-party websites. Paid software cost you more so we often look for more feasible options and downloads free pirated versions from third-party websites. To make money these free websites install spyware or adware along with the free app.
Google’s upcoming flagship smartphone, Pixel 6 will reportedly feature a GS101 processor. According to reports, Google is designing a new smartphone, probably the sixth edition in the Pixel series. The device is expected to come with an Arm-based GS101 processor. The Pixel 6 shall succeed the Pixel 5 and the pixel 4A 5G. The company is expected to release the smartphone in the fourth quarter this year.
Why does Google want to feature a GS101 processor in its next flagship smartphone?
The degree of integration between the hardware and software predominantly determines the device’s performance. Apple’s devices are known to deliver highly optimised performance owing to a higher level of binding of the hardware with its firmware. Apple’s Bionic chips are designed keeping specifically in mind the iOS operating system.
Android runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon. Since the Snapdragon processor is used by a majority of Android devices, there is not much room left for Pixel’s firmware to get dedicated support from the chip. The Google-designed GS101 processor will help the Pixel synergise the performance of its individual components to achieve a higher performance and battery efficiency.
Are custom TPU new for Google?
It’s not the first time when Google will launch a custom TPU based smartphone. The company has been using custom TPUs in its servers. Moreover, the Pixel 4 extensively used TPUs in its Neural Core. However, the implementation of the TPUs in the GS101 processor will be at a more sophisticated level as compared to the existing Pixel smartphones.
Are custom TPU new for Google?
What will be the features of the new GS101 processor?
The GS101 SoC will be the most advanced processor even installed in a Pixel smartphone. The chipset will consist of a triple cluster set up along with a TPU (Tensor Processing Unit). Moreover, the new processor will get an integrated security chip. Google extensively used Titan M in its smartphones that is an enterprise-grade security chip. The new Pixel is expected to house a similar chip.
How long have been the rumours existing regarding the GS101 processor?
Rumours regarding the GS101 “Whitechapel” SoC began to surface when Google started planning to design processors for its Chromebooks and Pixel smartphones. It was evident that the company will be implementing Machine Learning technology to optimise its chips. The Pixel would be the first device in the Whitechapel project to house a GS101 SoC.
Although Google may take a few more releases until it achieves chips customised specifically for the Pixel’s hardware and the Android operating system. The company will join Apple in the domain of customised processors. The step of Google has also induced Qualcomm to develop custom Kryo cores build on the semi-customized variants of Arm’s base Cortex architecture.

In order to not grant access to apps from accessing your device’s installed app inventory, Google has made new changes to its developer’s policy. As per the Google latest policy update, Google play will restrict the use ofhigh risk or sensitive permissions to access the inventory of installed apps on a given device. This move can be seen as the company’s major step in strengthening and preventing the user’s sensitive data from being stolen and make it difficult for apps to sneak into the device and restrict it from being stolen.Google recently announced its Developer Program Policy changes that will come into effect on May 5, 2021. According to the tech giant, the Play Store observes the device list of installed apps queried from a user’s device as private and sensitive data, and the grant is only provided when your app’s core user-facing functionality or purpose, needs wide perceptibility toward installed apps on the user’s device. The company says that if the app meets the policy requirements then they will be required to declare this and any other high-risk permissions using the Declaration Form in Play Console. Whereas those who fail or do not submit a Declaration Form shall be removed from Google Play. “If you change how your app uses these restricted permissions, you must revise your declaration with updated and accurate information. Deceptive and non-declared uses of these permissions may result in a suspension of your app and/or termination of your developer account,” the company stressed.Furthermore, the inventory access permission only takes effect when your app targets Android API level 30 or later on devices running Android 11 or later.In order to use that inventory access permission, the app must come within permitted uses below and have a core purpose to search for all apps on the device. Also, it should sufficiently justify why a less interfering way of app visibility will not adequately allow your app’s policy-compliant user-facing core functionality. Google further clarified, “Core functionality is defined as the main purpose of the app. Without this core ability to search for all apps on the device, the app is “broken” or rendered unusable. The core functionality, as well as any core features that comprise this core functionality, must all be prominently documented and promoted in the app’s description.”
