Ahmedabad, 22 February 2023, Wednesday

If you also use voice chat apps, you should be careful. Recently an app leaked the private calls of all its users. This is an Android app called OyeTalk. The app left its database open for public access. OyeTalk has been downloaded by over 5 million people so far and the app has over 21000 reviews and a 4.1 out of 5 star rating on the Google Play Store.

This is how the data leak happened

According to information, OyeTalk's user data and conversations were leaked through unprotected access to Google Firebase. The leaked data included users' chat, username and IMEI number of the phone. Hackers or anyone else could misuse this data. Additionally, sensitive data was hardcoded into the app's client site, including Google API keys and links to Google storage buckets, making the app vulnerable to reverse engineering. The app developer failed to shut down public access to the database upon learning of the data leak.

Data has been leaked before

This is not the first time that the data of OyeTalk users has been leaked. The app's database was previously leaked by unknown people. A fingerprint is used to identify Open Firebase in the database. Which indicates lack of proper authentication and authorization for data. This flaw could allow hackers etc. to access sensitive data such as email logins.

Image
- Forgot your bank account or deposit ? Now it will be easier to find! Have you ever had a savings or current account with Cobank that was two or more years old and completely forgot about it? Or has it happened that you opened a term deposit and did not set it to renew automatically after its maturity and you forgot to cross it? This happens to many people. In such case, when there is no transaction from the account holder or deposit holder for two years or more, the bank suspends the account after sending instructions to the account holder. After the bank account or term deposit account remains 'inoperative' for 10 years, it is transferred as unclaimed deposit to the 'Depositors Education and Awareness Fund' of the Reserve Bank of India. You will be surprised to know that as of February 2023, the number of unclaimed deposits reaching this fund from all public sector banks has reached 35 thousand crores! We can get this amount back. Now Reserve Bank of India is ...

He hoisted the American flag on the moon and returned after spending three hours there. There are still questions about the veracity of this claim by the American NASA , but the fact that humans have made tremendous progress in space in the last five decades cannot be denied in any way. Sometimes you also look at the moon from the earth and think that what is really on the earth of the moon ?! Almost everyone has the curiosity to peer into the vast universe spread around us. The problem is that if we live in a city and look at the sky from Agashi, we will see nothing but a very bright star. If you live in a village and also in a farm or when you go out of the city, if you stop for a while on the highway other than a hotel or a petrol pump, you will ...

These countries are now farming in space, watch the video

Image
Image Source: NASA New delhi date. 2 June 2023, Friday As the population increases in the country, the land for agriculture is getting less and less on earth. Recently, a report from the University of Colorado Boulder has come out, in which it has been said, how farms are rapidly being depleted around the world. Perhaps this is the reason why scientists from some of the world's major countries are turning to farming in space. There is a huge difference between the atmosphere of space and the atmosphere of Earth, but still there is cultivation. In fact, seeds sent into space remain in microgravity and are exposed to large amounts of cosmic rays, a process that greatly accelerates plant growth and transformation. This process is called space mutagenesis. Due to which the plant is ready to face any kind of situation. China is growing many crops China is growing a variety of crops in space.

It was day on the moon but Vikram Lander did not wake up, is Chandrayaan-3 mission complete?

Image
The sun has risen over the moon's south pole and it is hoped that ISRO will re-connect with the lander Vikram and the rover Pragyan. However, no contact has been made with the lander and rover by ISRO so far. ISRO is making all efforts to contact the lander and rover. Some people are also thinking that the lander and rover will no longer be able to communicate. Will there be re-contact with the lander and rover? ISRO has been continuously sending messages to the lander Vikram since September 22. ISRO will continue its efforts to contact him for a few more days. But now somewhere it seems that the success of India's Chandrayaan-3 has come to an end. India has shown as much as it had to show to the world and has collected the information it had to collect. ISRO's mission successfully completed its work Successful landing of Vikram Isro drove the Pragyan rover for 105 meters Vikram lander jumps to show the craters on the moon Confirmation of the presence of essential g...

On the other hand , the bottom of the Earth's oceans is an average of 3,699 meters or about 12,100 feet away. However , mankind knows much less about the ocean floor than it does about the surface of Mars! If our brains are not corroded due to YouTube videos , games etc. on mobile , then from the above paragraph many curious questions can arise - Why is the distance between Mars and Earth constantly changing ? When and by how much are the two farthest and nearest from each other ? The height of Mount Everest from the surface of the earth is greater or the depth of the deepest part of the ocean is greater ? Why is it that Mars is so far away and the oceans are so ' shallow ', yet we know so little about the ocean floor ecosystems ? If your children have su...

Want to extend the battery life of your Android or iPhone?

In today's time, we may think that smartphones are in our hands. In fact we are gripped by smartphones! Our life is in the smartphone and the life of the smartphone is in its battery. If you want your Android smartphone or iPhone battery to last longer on a single charge, you have to reduce the number of times you charge the battery throughout its life. Almost all smartphones and other devices today are powered by lithium-ion batteries. How much this type of battery should be charged is a matter of opinion , but the general opinion of experts is that if we do not let the battery of the phone fall below 20 percent and do not charge it more than 80 percent, its life can be extended. Now many smartphone manufacturing companies provide such a facility that when we put it in charging, its charging does not go beyond 85 percent. Find this setting in your smartphone!
