FCC considers new rules to stop the scammers from hijacking the cell phone.

Image
 SIM swapping and port-out fraud can be fatal to your personal information. The FCC is looking for new rules to amend for the tightening security around your data and phones in order to prevent the sim swapping and port out frauds in which fraudsters can access the personal information and phone number for nefarious purposes. The agency revealed that it has received numerous complaints from the consumers and has suffered financial harm and significant distress due to this. Sim swapping is when someone hijacks your phone number to interfere with the two-factor authentication code(which you use to verify login access or account access). The anonymous access the phones and sends the data to the other device without the user's consent and permissions and they even won't know that their data are exposed. Port-out fraud occurs when the fraudsters open an account with different cell phone carriers than the victims and has the victim's phone number transferred to the new account wi...

Why Do 'OTHERS' in phone takes up your massive space?

Image
 We all have smartphones and we are using them each and every second for our work, entertainment, news, and other stuff. It's impossible to imagine a life without it in the current time. We buy a phone and just after a moment your phone starts slowing down and you start clearing your phone storage or some try to reset it. Many of you would have noticed in the storage section that an 'Other' option available shows the massive data stored in our phone. People often get confused about it that they haven't stored anything despite it. It is showing us the coverage of massive space. So the question arises what is it? What does it contain? Let's take a cup of coffee or tea and chill. No need to worry about it.   If we click on the other option it doesn't give many details. It just says cache, logs, and other resources are in use. Once again the term Other "LOL!". What are logs? Logs are a record of action taken by our phones. Like keeping a record of connecte...

Travel to other universe...

Image
 It might be sounding interesting to travel to other universes. But possibly I don't know whether you have imagined that we could possibly go there or not. Okay! Fine anyhow, we reached there what would be the circumstances and possibilities. Will it be as like what we have imagined or imagining right now reading this post. I guess perhaps not. But before making your imagination dive into the reality of truth. Just a while think about it. Can we really travel? The short answer to it is no! We can't. But one may also argue that may be due to lack of technology or we are not able to think beyond our imaginations. Somewhere I feel it's true, I also feel that it's not a sort of technology or something. Yes! This might be the strongest exclamation to slap anyone arguing regarding it. But just calm down for a while.  The most prominent answer to it will be like there would be multiple big bangs that would have occurred giving rise to the multiverse. But the real fact is we ca...

Facebook dark mode android.

Image
 Around billions of people from around the world are on Facebook and are continually active throughout the day and a single problem disturbs them and creates panic among people such that they trend the issue over the world. The same issue is being faced in the Facebook app with the dark mode. The issue was even being enabled it was not working and people were seeing bright light n the screen. People use dark mode to remove the strain they had while using the screen. People tried to activate it but no longer they could activate it and they reported this issue to the FB department.  People were complaining on Twitter and other social media. But this was not the case with everyone's phone when suspected and surveyed deeply. Most of the phones working were fine with it and no issues. I guess maybe the problem would be with the new updates. Most people don't update their phone timely either due to laziness or they don't get time or remember about it. So this might be the strong ...

Google's new Fuchsia OS gonna roll out to the first gen. Nest Hub.

Image
 Four years back it was being reported that Google is working on its new operating system Fuchsia OS. Finally, the day has come where Google is proudly releasing its new OS. It has launched under development projects for loT devices. Fuchsia Logo Now we have to see whether people are accepting the change or not but Google said that they'll update the same smartphone with it and next time it'll be releasing Fuchsia OS for all new devices out of the box. It's kinda hard for a human to grasp a sudden change because now it's over a decade where we've been using Android and of course we're used to it and we know each and every corner of it.  Google said to release its first-generation Fuchsia OS for the users who are enrolled in the preview program. Android rules around 3 Billion smartphones and tablets based on kernel Linux. The new Fuchsia OS runs on a new message-passing microkernel called Zircon by Google. It's more likely to release its first update without ...

Apple Inc. fixes zero-day.

Image
Apple fixed these zero-days by releasing security updates as soon it got noticed. It was a vulnerability that used to bypass macOS security defenses. What is Zero-day? A zero-day is a software vulnerability that can creat a complicated problem before anyone notices. In fact it leaves no opportunity for detection. Jamf during research into XCSSET malware discovered it in 2020. Further, researchers at Jamf found something related to it taking screenshots secretly on mac. In this, the hackers could get around the privacy feature known as Transmission, Consent, and Control. The TCC used to create a flag before anyone does anything but here the case was different. This malware prevents it do something like that preventing creating a popup and granting permission on its own whenever wanted. We can say as if it's a hacker's piggy bank. The Jamf reported that vulnerability has been found taking screenshots only for now. They also made noticed that same could be done with the user...

Solar Ejections- Hazardous to Earth?

Image
 Reports say that solar storms are occurring on Earth because of the recent sunspots. Is it due to sunspots? Before that let us know what are sunspots? Sunspots are natural phenomena that appear as dark spots. Actually, this is a region of reduced surface temperature caused by the concentration of magnetic field flux. An image of active regions on the Sun from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory. The glowing hot gas traces out the twists and loops of the Sun’s magnetic field lines. Image credit: NASA/SDO/AIA Solar flares are in the act because of the recent sunspots. Experts say that it may occur on 26th May. A massive solar storm exploded on the Sun's surface making the solar flares in an act which is bombarded by the Sun towards Earth. This kind of explosion is referred to as coronal mass ejection. Basically, storms are natural phenomena and should not be taken as cataclysmic events as envisioned in the movies.  On 22nd May, sunspot ARC2824 released a burst of solar flares, un...

Can one insert two HDDs into a computer and switch it to anyone for use if he/she wants?

 Really there are so many confusions that come and attack our brain. It's not that we can't find a solution for ourselves but the fact is we fear if mistakenly one can disrupt their devices. So they go on to ask the question related to the attacked confusions. Let's dive into the detail. Basically, we can insert two internal HDDs to increase our space. In fact, it's a better idea to increase the space or if you wanna use two operating systems efficiently. Although you can use two operating systems in one HDD also by creating a partition but adding another HDD separately will provide a smooth experience. So the question is can we switch it to anyone if we want? The answer is no if you are using a single operating system. The internal HDD will add it to the whole and provide you the total storage. So there will be no option for switching in a particular case. But yes if we want to use two operating systems then we can separate the two operating systems on each of the inte...
