This data includes the user’s name, date of birth, gender, and their ID. According to a report by Malayala Manorama, the data has been leaked through the CoWIN portal that was designed to help citizens book their vaccine slots. As per the report, all you need to do is enter the phone number of a person who has received the Covid-19 vaccine on a Telegram bot and it will fetch important details about the user. This, as per the report, has put important data such as Aadhaar, PAN, voter ID and passport of thousands of users at risk. The government has not revealed anything about the leak yet. <div type="twitter" handle="SaketGokhale" handlename="SaketGokhale" favoritecount="0" retweetcount="0" id="1668104757704269824"></div> Trinamool Congress (TMC) spokesperson Saket Gokhale has <a href="https://twitter.com/SaketGokhale/status/1668104757704269824">shared</a> screenshots of the Telegram bot, with vaccination information of people like P Chidambaram, Jairam Ramesh and Derek O Brien. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Not the first Covid-19 related data leak" comment="subhead" text="Not the first Covid-19 related data leak">Not the first Covid-19 related data leak</cmsannotation> This is not the first time that CoWIN data has come under the scanner.

A new research report has revealed that <keyword id="588210" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="android-apps">Android apps</keyword> with over 5.8 million downloads on the Google Play store have been caught stealing users’ <keyword id="980677" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Facebook-passwords">Facebook passwords</keyword>. Security firm Doctor Web has published a <a href="https://news.drweb.com/show/?i=14244&amp;lng=en">report</a> that identifies these 9 trojan apps which offered photo editing and app lock features. All these apps were found on the Google Play store, amassing nearly 6 million downloads amongst themselves. The report goes on to add that Google had only removed some of these apps from the Play store, as of July 1, 2021, when the report went live. PIP Photo app was the most downloaded among these apps, with 5 million downloads of its own. How did these apps steal Facebook passwords? All the apps mentioned in the report offered real features, causing the unsuspecting users to trust them. They even allowed users to unlock more features and disable in-app advertisements by logging into their Facebook accounts. These apps exploited the widespread use of Google and Facebook login – something that is offered by many apps and games – to steal passwords of unsuspecting users. The research firm describes the exploit mechanism below: “After receiving the necessary settings from one of the C&amp;C servers upon launch, they loaded the legitimate Facebook web page https://www.facebook.com/login.php into WebView. Next, they loaded JavaScript received from the C&amp;C server into the same WebView. This script was directly used to hijack the entered login credentials. After that, this JavaScript, using the methods provided through the JavascriptInterface annotation, passed the stolen login and password to the trojan applications, which then transferred the data to the attackers’ C&amp;C server. After the victim logged into their account, the trojans also stole cookies from the current authorization session. Those cookies were also sent to cybercriminals.” Here are the trojan apps mentioned in the report If you have any of these apps installed on your phone, you may want to uninstall them: <ol><li>PIP Photo</li><li>Processing Photo</li><li>Rubbish Cleaner</li><li>Horoscope Daily</li><li>App Lock Keep</li><li>Lockit Master</li><li>Horoscope Pi</li><li>App Lock Manager</li><li>Inwell Fitness</li></ol>As of July 5, Google has removed all of these apps from the Play Store. In addition to this, according to an Arstechnica <a href="https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/07/google-boots-google-play-apps-for-stealing-users-facebook-passwords/">report</a>, Google has also banned the developers of these apps, meaning they cannot submit any new apps. In case you downloaded these apps and used the Facebook login option, it is recommended that you unauthorize these apps from your Facebook account and change your password.

The company had removed the call recording feature last year due to an API issue with Google. In addition to bringing back call recording for Android devices, it also introduced the feature for iOS devices. The call recording feature will record the call on both sides and the other person will be informed that you are recording the call with a beep sound. It is to be noted that the feature is limited to only premium subscribers and is currently available only in the US. It’s expected to roll out to other countries soon. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Call recording on Android devices" comment="subhead" text="Call recording on Android devices">Call recording on Android devices</cmsannotation> Call recording is comparatively easier on Android devices. There are two ways you can record calls on Android devices using Truecaller – If you have set Truecaller as your default dialer, all you have to do is enable call recording on your device and the app will automatically record every call. However, if you are using a different dialer, you will have to tap on the floating Truecaller bubble each time you wish to record a call. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Call recording on an iPhone" comment="subhead" text="Call recording on an iPhone">Call recording on an iPhone</cmsannotation> Recording a call on an iPhone is slightly more complicated. You will have to call a special recording line each time you wish to record a call and then merge the two calls to start recording. For outgoing calls, you need to first start a call with the recording line using the Truecaller app then call the person you wish to talk to and then merge the two calls. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Call transcripts" comment="subhead" text="Call transcripts">Call transcripts</cmsannotation> In addition to recording the call for future playback, the app will also create transcriptions of the call using artificial intelligence (AI). This will allow you to quickly view the summaries of a call and find important data.

The targeted reporters were Emily Baker-White, who wrote for BuzzFeed and is now at Forbes, and Cristina Criddle of the Financial Times, ByteDance said, though it declined to identify other affected TikTok users. ByteDance employees accessed the data as part of an unsuccessful effort to investigate leaks of company information and were aiming to identify potential connections between two journalists and company employees, revealed the email from ByteDance general counsel <keyword id="15860720" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="erich-andersen" source="Orion">Erich Andersen</keyword>. All four employees involved in the scheme were fired, the company said, correcting an earlier statement that one of the four had resigned. Two of those employees were working in China and two were in the United States, reported The <keyword id="53556" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="new-york-times" source="Orion">New York Times</keyword>. ByteDance said it had restructured its internal audit and risk team and had removed any access to US data from that department. Over the summer, a few employees on a ByteDance team responsible for monitoring employee conduct tried to find the sources of suspected leaks of internal conversations and business documents to journalists. In doing so, the employees gained access to the IP addresses and other data of two reporters and a small number of people connected to the reporters via their TikTok accounts. They were trying to determine if those individuals were within proximity of ByteDance employees, according to the company, which added that the efforts failed to find any leaks, reported The New York Times. The investigation was initiated after an article was published by Forbes, and the inquiry confirms part of that report and highlights the privacy and security risks associated with TikTok that US lawmakers, state governors and the <keyword id="6354862" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="trump" source="Orion">Trump</keyword> and <keyword id="60973" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="biden" source="Orion">Biden</keyword> administrations have raised for more than two years. More than a dozen states have banned TikTok from government-issued devices, and the company has been in prolonged negotiations with the administration on security and privacy measures that would block any potential access of US user data by ByteDance and the Chinese government, reported NYT. Taiwan is investigating Douyin International, the Chinese twin of hugely popular TikTok, for allegedly illegally expanding social media business in the island nation, reported Voice of America (VOA). On Monday (December 19), the Mainland Affairs Council of the Executive Yuan, confirmed in a local media report the allegations made by a political affairs member of the Executive Yuan that the Mainland Affairs Council took note of the Chinese company ByteDance's opening of a branch in Taiwan, further accusing it of business expansion and transferring cases involving related operators to criminal offences to the judicial authorities for investigation. App developer ByteDance, headquartered in Beijing, was suspected of running a subsidiary in contravention of a law that restricts a variety of Chinese firms, including social media companies, from operating offices in Taiwan.
