267 Million Facebook Identities goes on sale on Dark Web for Rs 41,030
After Zoom being in the headlines for all wrong reasons like “Zoombombing”, now Cyble researchers have reported that one of the threat actors have dropped an online bomb by dropping the identities of 267 million Facebook Users for 500 Euros (which translates to INR 41,030.98). The compromised details include the e-mail, first name, last name, phone number, Facebook ID, last connection, status and age of 267 million Facebook users. According to a blog post by Cyble researchers, they “executed the sale and were able to download and verify the data. The impacted users will be able to verify this on Cyble’s data breach monitoring platform, AmIbreached.com shortly.” Cyble researchers have reported that they were not aware of how the data got leaked at the first instance, it might be due to a leakage in third-party API or scrapping. Given the data contain sensitive details on the users, it might be used by cybercriminals for phishing and spamming. Cyble recommended Facebook users to tighten the privacy settings of their profiles, and be cautious of unsolicited emails and text messages. According to the researchers, “We are currently indexing the data at our darkweb monitoring platform, and retail users can access it via AmIbreached.com” Earlier this year, Mark Zuckerberg, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Facebook, had said, “Every day, platforms like Facebook have to make trade-offs on important social values — between free expression and safety, privacy and law enforcement, and between creating open systems and locking down data.” “Often it is as important that decisions are made in a way that people feel is legitimate. I don’t think private companies should make so many decisions alone when they touch on fundamental democratic values. That is why last year I called for regulation in four areas: elections, harmful content, privacy and data portability,” he added. Facebook, in a blog post, stated that the social-networking giant already publishes more detailed reports about harmful content than any other major internet service, and we’ve shown regulators how our systems operate. The company is also looking at opening up its content moderation systems for external audit. Apart from this, international agencies also use Facebook’s Data for Good programme to figure out which communities need help after natural disasters, and governments use our publicly available population density maps for vaccination campaigns. Let’s see how Facebook will react to this data breach of its 267 million users. Stay tuned for more updates.

The top model that is Motorola Edge+ aims to take on Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra and comes with 5G capabilities, similar battery, size as well as the main camera. Motorola is best known for its budget mid-range device lets see how it stands against its rival Samsung with its cutting edge specs.

Display

Motorola Edge+: A curved 6.7-inch full-HD+ OLED display with 90Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra: 6.9-inch Quad HD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X Infinity-O Display  

Processor

Motorola Edge+: Snapdragon 865 SoC Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra: Exynos 990 7nm 64-bit octa-core processor

Rear camera(s)

Motorola Edge+: 108MP+16MP ultra-wide angle camera+8MP telephoto camera  Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra: 48MP telephoto+108MP wide-angle+12MP ultra-wide+depth sensor.

Selfie camera

Motorola Edge+: 25-megapixel camera Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra: 40-megapixel

RAM and storage

Motorola Edge+: 12GB of RAM with 256GB of non-expandable storage Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra:16GB RAM/512GB storage, 12GB RAM/256GB storage and 12GBRAM/ 128GB storage

Battery

Operating system

Motorola Edge+: Android 10 Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra: Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra: One UI 2.0 based on the top of Android 10

Price

Motorola Edge+: $999 (approx Rs 76,400) Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra: Rs 92,999

Our Take

By looking at the spec sheet it is clear that Galaxy S20 Ultra comes with a slightly bigger display. Both the devices comes with a 108-megapixel Samsung’s ISOCELL Bright HMX sensor but Smasung offers a better camera setup on the front also S20 Ultra takes on Edge+ as it offers a 40-megapixel selfie camera. Both the devices equip a 5000mAh battery however with Samsung you get 45W fast charging support whereas Motorola offers an 18W fast charging support. But if you are on a tight budget then you need to wait for a few more weeks until Motorola brings Edge+ in India because that might cost you almost half the price of Galaxy S20 Ultra.  For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. For newest tech & gadget videos subscribe to our YouTube Channel.

Google brings 4 top-requested Meet features to enhance remote working
With remote work becoming the new normal as the world is fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, Google has now rolled out four most-requested Google Meet features to make people stay connected even while they’re apart. As the number of people connect on Google Meet is growing rapidly, Google has introduced four of their top-requested Meet features like Google AI to improve meeting quality and user experience, and will gradually roll out to customers across the world. These include: Tiled layout for larger calls, Present higher-quality video content with audio, Low-light mode and Noise cancellation. With these new features, the tech giant aims to ensure that the users have the features they need to share and be productive. Looking at the Tiled layout for larger calls, Google has stated that “The expanded tiled layout now lets web users simultaneously see up to 16 participants at once (previously, tiled layouts only enabled you to see four people at a time). More updates are coming for larger meetings, better presentation layouts, and support across more devices.” As far as presenting higher-quality video content with audio feature is concerned, an official blog post by Google revealed that the users now have the option to present a Chrome tab (instead of just presenting their window or entire screen). If you need to share high-quality video with audio content in meetings, select this option for the best experience for remote viewers. Besides this, the Low-light mode allows Google Meet to use AI to automatically adjust your video to make you more visible to other participants in sub-optimal lighting conditions. According to Google, “This feature is currently rolling out to mobile users, and will be available to web users in the future.” Coming over to Noise cancellation feature, this will help limit interruptions to your meeting. According to Smita Hashim, Director of Product Management, Google Meet, Voice & Calendar, “Meet can now intelligently filter out background distractions—like your dog barking or keystrokes as you take meeting notes. Noise cancellation will begin rolling out in the coming weeks to G Suite Enterprise and G Suite Enterprise for Education customers starting with web users and later to mobile users.” “We are constantly finding ways to enhance security and privacy for all users, such as adding new moderator controls to help educators more effectively manage their meetings and protect their students,” she added.

Samsung aims to introduce 600MP image sensor to make invisible visible
In the recent past, mobile phone cameras have become the main instrument for recording and sharing our everyday moments with our loved ones instantly. We witnessed how Samsung expanded its 0.8μm image sensor line-up from 20MP, 48MP, 64MP to now ultra-high 108MP resolutions. Now, it seems that the South Korean tech major is aiming to introduce 600MP camera sensor for all its devices. In an editorial on topic ‘Rivalling the Human Eye: How Samsung is Opening Up the Possibilities for Image Sensor Technology’, Yongin Park, EVP, Head of Sensor Business Team, System LSI Business, said, “To date, the major applications for image sensors have been in the smartphones field, but this is expected to expand soon into other rapidly-emerging fields such as autonomous vehicles, IoT and drones. Samsung is proud to have been leading the small-pixel, high-resolution sensor trend that will continue through 2020 and beyond, and is prepared to ride the next wave of technological innovation with a comprehensive product portfolio that addresses the diverse needs of device manufacturers.” With relentless innovation, Samsung is determined to open up endless possibilities in pixel technologies that might even deliver image sensors that can capture more detail as compared to human eye. According to Samsung, the image sensors of human eyes are said to match a resolution of around 500MP. In order to be able to match human perception capabilities, a lot of work has to be done as most DSLR cameras today offer 40MP resolution while flagship smartphones deliver mostly 12MP resolution. In May 2019, Samsung was able to announce the smartphone industry’s first 64MP sensor. ISOCELL Bright GW1 is a 64MP image sensor that pixel-merging Tetracell technology and remosaic algorithm. It can produce bright 16MP images in low-light environments and highly-detailed 64MP shots in brighter settings. In February this year, Samsung had unveiled 108Mp sensors in the smartphone market. For the 108Mp image sensor, the ISOCELL Bright HM1, Samsung implemented its proprietary ‘Nonacell technology,’ which dramatically increases the amount of light absorption pixels are capable of. Compared to previous Tetracell technology which features a 2×2 array, the 3×3 pixel structure of Nonacell technology allows, for instance, nine 0.8μm pixels to function as one 2.4-μm pixel. This also mitigates the issue raised by low-light settings where light information is often scarce. Let’s wait and watch how Samsung’s dream to introduce 600MP camera sensor will make the invisible visible and help people by going beyond what our own senses are capable of. Stay tuned!

WhatsApp increases the limit of participants for group voice or video calls
Recently, we reported that the Social media app Whatsapp is planning to increase the limit of participants for its group call. The chatting app is now rolling out the latest beta update of the increased group call limit for Android and Whatsapp users. As per a report, the company has increased the limit up to eight participants in a group video or voice call. Earlier the much anticipated increased group call limit was four only, which now has been doubled in order to take on other video conferencing apps like Zoom. During the coronavirus pandemic, the business of the gaming sector and video conferencing apps and tools have been on a boom since all the countries have imposed lockdown to contain the spread. Earlier, Wabetainfo released a report in which it hinted that WhatsApp’s plan to set a new limit of participants for its group call is in the pipeline in which the users will be able to create a call with more than 4 participants. However, this feature was under testing with Android and iOS beta versions only.  In a new development, the publisher has now found that the chatting platform has applied some new changes to the call button in groups. According to the reports, those users who were a part of a small group with 4 participants will be able to make a direct call to all the four group members without having to choose the participant because automatically all the members will be added in the call. This feature was under testing allowing to add more than 4 participants in a call which also includes adjusting the UI to allow to see more participants.

The social media app is rolling out the iOS and Android beta update to everyone with the possibility to add 8 participants in a group voice or video call. “Precisely, you need to install the 2.20.50.25 iOS beta update from TestFlight and the 2.20.133 beta from Google Play. Other participants need to be on the same versions, otherwise, they cannot be added in the group call,” the report added. For making a group voice or video call the beta users have to open a group and tap the call button. If the group has more than four members in a group that app will ask to choose the contacts you wish to call. Those members who have not saved your contact won’t be added in the call. Or you need to open the calls tab in your app then tap the call button. After that, you can select a new group call in which you can select contacts you wish to call. The new feature will be useful to those who are well aware of the other video calling tools or apps other than WhatsApp to keep in touch with their family or friends stuck far away from home due to lockdown.  For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. For newest tech & gadget videos subscribe to our YouTube Channel.

The government launches Say Namaste app as an alternative to Zoom app
In order to take on Zoom video conferencing app  Indian government has launched an alternative to the app called Namaste. Basically it is not an app, it is a video conferencing platform which has been introduced by the government due to security and privacy-related concerns related to the Zoom app which suddenly gained popularity during the lockdown.  The Indian government has imposed lockdown in the country to contain the spread of coronavirus. Due to this the empress in the government, as well as the private sector, have taken up work from home. Also, Federal cyber-agency CERT-In released an advisory for the increased cyber-attacks on virtual private networks. So the government asked its employees to refrain from using the Zoom app for official purposes also in the government offices. Now it has found an alternative to the app and has introduced its  online tool called “Say Namaste” The new video conferencing platform is currently under beta mode and is available both on mobile as well as a desktop platform. Due to increased demand, the website is facing some connectivity issues. On opening the website it reads, “We are facing tremendous demand for NAMASTE and hence you may face some temporary connectivity issues. Please check back soon”. Those who are also concerned about their privacy and security can use it as an alternative to the Zoom app. This platform works just like Zoom in which you can create a meeting link and share it with the participants, also allowing group video calls. According to a report the Namaste video conferencing platform has been designed and developed by Inscripts which is a Mumbai-based web application and software development company. The report says that the app version is likely to get launched by this week for the  Android and iOS users. The app is currently under the beta testing which means the app’s security features are still unpatched and contains bugs on which the company is still working on which is still unsafe and you cannot totally rely on this app. You do not need to download or install tool for laptops or desktop platforms. The user can create or join a meeting by visiting their website. You can invite other users to a conference call using a meeting link and a code. To make a call it will request for your camera as well as microphone access which can be turned off when you are on a call. How to use Namaste for hosting a meeting?
