<ul><li>The CoWIN, UMANG and Aarogya Setu mobile apps have crashed as India opens up the vaccine registrations for everyone above the age of 18.</li><li>The <keyword id="10849396" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="cowin-website">CoWIN website</keyword> is still sending out OTPs.</li><li>Even if you manage to register on the CoWIN website, finding a slot may prove to be difficult.</li></ul>If you’re above the age of 18 years and trying to register for the COVID-19 vaccine in India today, on April 28, you may be fresh out of luck. The CoWIN mobile app along with alternative methods to register — the UMANG and Aarogya Setu mobile apps — crashed the moment registrations opened up at 4 p.m. The CoWIN website wasn’t sending out one-time-passwords (OTPs) initially either, but was back up in action within minutes. However, that’s about all the good news that there is. In order to get your OTP, you need to go to the main CoWIN portal, click on the registration button, enter your phone number. The OTP that you get on your phone will be valid for three minutes. <div type="image" title="IMG-20210428-WA0010" msid="82291617" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;OTP generated from the CoWIN website&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Beyond that, it’s anyone’s guess if you’ll able to get a slot or even complete your registration. Some users are reporting that they are not available to select photo ID type or gender after putting in the OTP. And, entering the information in these slots is compulsory in order to complete the process. <div type="image" title="cowin" msid="82299370" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;BI India was unable to select the drop down menus for &amp;#39;Photo ID Proof&amp;#39; and &amp;#39;Gender&amp;#39;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Even then, registering yourself only gets you in through the door. Finding a slot is a whole other matter. And they seem to be in short supply. While you may see a couple of slots with appointments available, those appointments are only for those individuals between the ages of 45 and above. No appointment slots seem to be available to those between 18 to 44 years old. <div type="image" title="cowin slots" msid="82291747" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Availability of slots after registration is complete&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> People above the age of 18 looking to register for the COVID-19 vaccine in India have been trying since midnight. Even though the CoWIN channels on social media did not send out any alerts, there was one sent out over Telegram app that the vaccine registration would not be opening up at midnight, but at four in the afternoon instead. <div type="image" title="Screenshot_20210428-083126_edited" msid="82292135" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Message sent over Telegram specifying that registration will open up at 4:00 pm instead of at midnight&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> There is no clarity around the supply of vaccines and the government has been quiet on how it plans to expand its vaccination drive while also addressing the bottlenecks that may occur.

CoWIN website is back up after an early crash⁠ — finding a vaccination slot may still be difficult

<ul><li>The <keyword id="10440405" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="cowin">CoWIN</keyword> app doesn't let you know when a COVID vaccine slot becomes available, but these Indian coders have found a way out.</li><li>Vaccine appointments, especially for those between the ages of 18 to 45 years, and hard to come by in the face of vaccine shortages.</li><li>Coders in India are stepping up by creating websites and scripts to help send alerts to people about when a vaccination slot becomes available in their area.</li></ul> Not only are COVID-19 vaccines in short supply, but appointment slots for those between the age of 18 to 45 years are also scarce. However, coders in India are coming to the rescue. For instance, the engineering manager at PhonePe, <a href="https://twitter.com/debarko/status/1388549978721636354">Debarko De</a>, has posted a script on code hosting platform GitHub to help people in Bangalore looking for appointment slots. Agra-based software developer Amit Agarwal has created a <a href="https://twitter.com/labnol/status/1388556580325453824">COVID-19 vaccine tracker</a>, built with Google Sheets, so that people can get alerts over email whenever an appointment opens up for a particular age group within a prescribed pincode. Many are questioning whether such an endeavour is legal or not. But many more are questioning why the CoWIN platform — the main portal provided by the government to register for a vaccine, find a slot and get your certificate — doesn’t already have this functionality. <div type="image" title="cowin slots" msid="82383448" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;No slots were available for people between the ages of 18 to 45 years on April 28, when the CoWIN platform opened up registration for that age group&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Ravi Srinivasan, the chief facilitator at the ed-tech platform Code Space, told Business Insider that Agarwal’s script can be used to look for vaccination centres and appointments outside of Bangalore, too, by simply changing the pin code. “The public API just allows you to see what slots are available by district, age etc. But it doesn’t let you register. For getting an appointment, you need the protected API,” he said. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Coders are plugging the holes in the CoWIN platform" comment="subhead" text="Coders are plugging the holes in the CoWIN platform">Coders are plugging the holes in the CoWIN platform</cmsannotation> Another programmer, Berty Thomas, pushed out a full fledged website called <a href="http://www.under45.in">under45.in</a> for those between the age of 18 to 45 years, looking to get their first jab. The site is a little slow to load, but once you’re in, all you have to do is select your state and district to see appointment availability. He also created multiple groups on <a href="https://twitter.com/BertyThomas/status/1388477672901120003">Telegram</a> for those who wish to receive alerts for their respective districts. The list is not exhaustive, but does cover most of the main metropolitan regions across the country. And Thomas isn’t using the government’s API to do it. The API is only powering the alerts, not storing your information. Similar sites like <a href="http://www.getjab.in">getjab.in</a> and <a href="http://www.findslot.in">findslot.in</a> are also doing the same thing. And, the reason they’re being allowed to stick around is because users still have to login into the CoWIN platform to register. That part of the process cannot be done externally. This is important because this is where the government draws the line between what is allowed and what is not allowed to be done with its APIs. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="What is an API?" comment="subhead" text="What is an API?">What is an API?</cmsannotation> An application programming interface, or API, is basically a bridge between two applications. It’s like the waiter who takes your order, ensures that it gets relayed to the chef, and then brings you your final meal. In the case of looking for CoWIN appointment slots, you’re placing your request on a website, and that website then relays it to the API, like the customer at the restaurant. The API then checks with the CoWIN portal — or the chef — before showing you the availability of slots. The Indian government opened up the CoWIN APIs to allow third party access, on April 28. They can be found on the government’s API Setu website which contains authentication, metadata, beneficiary registration, vaccination appointment and certificate APIs. With these APIs, the third party users can access information like vaccination centres, list of districts, vaccination appointments among others. There are two types of APIs -- public and protected. Using public APIs is not a problem and they’re freely available on the government site. To use the protected APIs, on the other hand, the government needs an organisation to put in for a special approval, which is a whole lot of red tape to cut through. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="There is still no data capture policy in place for third party access" comment="subhead" text="There is still no data capture policy in place for third party access">There is still no data capture policy in place for third party access</cmsannotation> Last month, an organisation called Project Step One created a bot on WhatsApp that would allow people to register for the vaccine. It undercut the requirement of having to log into the official website or use the CoWIN app. But it was shut down by the government for being a ‘<a href="https://twitter.com/PIBFactCheck/status/1381510698727997440">fake</a>’ service. <div type="twitter" handle="Projectstepone" handlename="StepOne" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1255874944098947073/hj_yObMf_normal.jpg" favoritecount="9" retweetcount="3" status="We have paused our #COVID19 vaccination #WhatsApp chatbot after receiving call from @MoHFW_INDIA. The bot was a fre… https://t.co/ViOhPK0bzY" createdat="1618464893000" id="1382568088210599941"></div> The primary concern around the service being offered by Step One, a non-profit organisation, was the potential risk posed by privacy issues. In order to book an appointment, or even register, users have to share data that is personal and highly sensitive in nature. According to Step One, it does not store any of the data. It was only using the government’s open APIs, the bot passed user data to COWIN servers, and none of data was accessed by the organisation. It even offered up the code for its WhatsApp bot for further examination, but to no avail.

Indian coders are working around the CoWIN app to help people bag the elusive vaccine slots

The government has announced a new update that enables an applicant to correct any inadvertent errors in name, year of birth and gender printed on the <keyword id="10440405" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="cowin">CoWIN</keyword> vaccination certificate. <keyword id="66720" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="users">Users</keyword> can make the correction through the CoWIN website.

The CoWIN vaccination certificates are used at the time of travel and helps in the access of several other premises. Earlier, the government had also allowed people who are vaccinated to update their status voluntarily on the Aarogya Setu app through a self-assessment process. Those who have got the single dose of the vaccine will get a single blue border with vaccination status on their home screen along with Aarogya Setu logo with a single tick. A 'Blue Shield' with double tick will appear on the app for those who are fully vaccinated, after 14 days of the second dose. This double tick will appear after verification of vaccination status from the CoWIN portal. Vaccination status can be updated through the mobile number used for CoWIN registration.

While there are many solutions helping genuinely, there are others who may not necessarily be looking out for the ‘greater good’ — like a new SMS worm promising to book a vaccination slot for you, but infecting your device with malware instead. So far, the penetration seems to be limited to Android users. <div type="image" title="cowin app fake_edited" msid="82389061" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Android SMS worm tries to spread via text messages as fake, free registration for Covid-19 vaccine &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The SMS worm is capable of enabling unauthorised access to private accounts, using the device for activities unaware to the user of the smartphone, exposing personal data and deleting data without the user’s knowledge. This means accessing Twitter and Facebook accounts, peeping into your photo gallery and contact list, deleting documents you may have wanted to keep around for a little bit longer and eating up your data — which can be particularly painful if you have limited data per day. The issue was initially brought to light by Malware researcher <a href="https://twitter.com/LukasStefanko/status/1387733166195150849">Lukas Stefano</a> and the <a href="https://twitter.com/malwrhunterteam/status/1387706612270440450">Malware Hunter Team</a>. It was then also confirmed by Australian cyber risk assessment firm <a href="https://twitter.com/AuCyble/status/1389135487340883970">Cyble</a>. “Our investigation indicated that this malware campaign is currently targeting India as the country struggles with the ongoing onslaught of the pandemic,” said Cyble in its report. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="A mysterious developer is creating similar apps with the same end goal" comment="subhead" text="A mysterious developer is creating similar apps with the same end goal">A mysterious developer is creating similar apps with the same end goal</cmsannotation> Cyble tried to track down the source of the fake app and found numerous abandoned repositories on Twitter. They list other apps that are similar but with different names. The end goal is the same for all of them — get the same permissions and enter from the same point. <div type="image" title="covid app fake 3_edited" msid="82389133" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Fake COVID-19 app asking for permission to access contacts&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> According to the investigators, it is likely that the same developer is behind all of these apps. “New variants of SMS worms for Android do not appear very often, and this particular variant is an interesting piece of malware and part of a unique attack,” said Cyble in its report. In addition to tricking people into installing the SMS worm and accessing sensitive information, there is also a direct monetary cost of this whole exercise on the victim. Since the worm is automatically sending messages to people on the victim’s contact lists, it could use up their balance depending on their phone plan — without the victim’s knowledge. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="How does the COVID-19 SMS malware work?" comment="subhead" text="How does the COVID-19 SMS malware work?">How does the COVID-19 SMS malware work?</cmsannotation> Users receive an SMS containing a malicious link that leads to a seemingly genuine website. Once an unsuspecting user clicks on the link, the worm’s code is now ready to execute on the device — that is, the smartphone has now been infected. <div type="image" title="covid app fake 2_edited" msid="82389102" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;SMS worm with malicious link &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Moreover, the malware sends a copy of itself to everyone on that person’s contact list. Some of the suspicious activities spotted include checking for devices that are connected to the phone through Bluetooth, sending text messages using SMS Manager, checking the status of the user’s SIM card and sending out queries around phone contact information.

Now, a new <a href="https://securelist.com/bloodystealer-and-gaming-assets-for-sale/104319/">report</a> by researchers from popular cybersecurity firm Kaspersky has revealed that cybercriminals have started targeting gamers and their accounts with a new malware dubbed as BloodyStealer. The BloodyStealer malware is capable of fetching session data and passwords and cookie exfiltration. The stealer is capable of targeting bank card details, browser autofill data, screenshots from the computer, desktop and uTorrent client files and more. As per the report, the malware also targeted the session details of clients such as Epic Games, Steam, Origin, GOG, Bethesda, Telegram and VimeWorld. Some of the popular titles available on these stores include GTA V, Fortnite, Battlefield, FIFA 2022 among others. As per the researcher, the malware was first spotted in March 2021 after an advertisement for a malware named as BloodyStealer was noticed on a Russian underground forum. The author asked potential customers to contact him using Telegram. “What caught our attention is BloodyStealer’s capability to fetch information related to computer games installed on an infected system. BloodyStealer targets major online gaming platforms, such as Steam, Epic Games Store, EA Origin, etc.” said Dmitry Galov, researcher, Kaspersky. The BloodyStealer malware was priced at 700 RUB (approx. $10) for one month and a lifetime purchase was priced at 3000 RUB (approx. $40). The data scraped by the malware is sent to a command and control (C&amp;C) server which can then be accessed using Telegram or a dark web panel. “Both C&amp;C servers are placed behind Cloudflare, which hides their original IPs and provides a layer of protection against DDoS and web attacks,” added Galov. The researcher added a few tips for users to protect their gaming accounts from such malware. <ul><li>Enable two-factor authentication for all your accounts.</li><li>Purchase games from official sites only and avoid unknown third-party websites.</li><li>Avoid clicking links received in emails from unknown senders as it could be a phishing attempt.</li><li>Do not click on links directing you to external sites from game chat.

<ul><li>Ming-Chi Kuo, a well-known Apple analyst, says Apple will launch its <keyword id="3802088" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="foldable-iphone">foldable iPhone</keyword> in 2023. </li><li>The iPhone is said to have an 8-inch QHD+ flexible OLED display. </li><li>Kuo also expects Apple to adopt a fancy "silver nanowire" touchscreen. </li></ul>According to Ming-Chi Kuo, a famous analyst, tech giant Apple is working on its <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/a-foldable-iphone-is-reportedly-in-the-works-for-2023/articleshow/81297685.cms">foldable iPhone</a> with an 8-inch QHD+ flexible OLED display. The prediction was seen in a note to investors that Apple may be planning to launch the foldable iPhone in 2023. As per website <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2021/05/02/kuo-8-inch-foldable-iphone-2023/" data-type="tilCustomLink">MacRumors</a>, Kuo estimates that the company expects to sell 15-20 million folding units in 2023 “based on Apple’s requested capacity plan.” Kuo also expects Apple to adopt a fancy "silver nanowire" touch screen because existing capacitive technology isn't compatible with more than one fold and rollable designs. This means the Cupertino-based tech giant might opt for something that folds more than once unlike the current implementation on foldable phones. This doesn't come as a surprise as Apple is known for doing things differently, as seen with its circuits, Face ID technology and so on. Kuo's previous predictions have been quite reliable. He's made several Apple predictions that have come true, after years. If he gets this prediction on point, it would be interesting to see how Apple could attract users to switch to a foldable iPhone. As of now, Samsung has made a somewhat practically usable foldable phone -- the Galaxy Fold 2 -- but it's still a thing for early adopters and enthusiasts. Apple has dropped hints on its foldable iPhone plans in the recent past. In July last year, a new <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/apple-just-gave-us-another-hint-at-what-a-foldable-iphone-could-one-day-look-like/articleshow/76857969.cms">Apple patent</a> was spotted revealing a glimpse of how the company may approach foldable phones. Earlier this year, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-01-15/apple-considers-foldable-iphone-minor-changes-planned-for-2021-models">Bloomberg</a> reported that <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/apple-has-reportedly-begun-testing-foldable-screen-prototypes-for-upcoming-iphones/articleshow/80301946.cms">Apple has begun internal testing</a> on foldable screen prototypes for iPhones. Foldable displays have been used in flip phones like Samsung Galaxy Flip, the new Moto Razr, the Galaxy Fold and Fold 2, but the current models are the first generations of these products and they come with durability concerns. Not just that, like most first-gen tech the prices are exorbitantly high, making them a less practical choice for the masses. But since it's Apple, there's a possibility that we might see a refined product. The other likeliness will be of a premium price point, as Apple non-foldable iPhones right now are among the most expensive smartphones. Since the foldable phones will need a new assembly line, expensive components and trickier engineering prowess, it might be the costliest iPhone ever.
