After Deepfake, now researchers warn about ClearFake, know about it


ClearFake: The central government has warned people about Deepfake. Fake videos are being made viral on social media by misusing AI. In this regard, the central government has asked the social media companies to take action and make a strict law. Companies are working in this direction. Meanwhile, researchers have also warned people about ClearFake. So let's see what ClearFake is and how it causes harm.

What is ClearFake?

Clearfake is similar to Deepfake. It involves using fake videos, photos, websites etc. to trick people through AI. It sends false information, videos, photos and malware to people. In which with clearfake people install fake software in the system and then steal their personal information from the system.

Targeted at Apple users

Earlier this year, researchers discovered a new cyber threat, the Atomic macOS Stealer (AMOS), a sophisticated malware that primarily targets Apple users. Once installed on users' systems, it has the ability to extract sensitive information including iCloud Keychain passwords, credit card details, crypto wallets and other types of files.

Fraud is done by creating fake websites

This malware was already a threat to users, but now fraudsters inject this malware into people's systems through ClearFake. Using ClearFake, fraudsters are now creating fake websites and asking users to update their browsers. These websites and prompts are designed to trick users into believing the website is genuine and install a browser containing the flawed JavaScript code. As soon as AMOS is installed in the system, it starts collecting all kinds of information and from here the privacy of the users is lost. After receiving information, fraudsters target people in different ways.

How to stay safe?

- To avoid such attacks, software should always be downloaded from the official website. Never install any software from any third party.

- Keep your software up to date.

- Also beware of apps that claim to bypass macOS Gatekeeper protection and don't install them.

Know, how likely is Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover to be operational again?

Image
New Delhi, September 26, 2023, Tuesday Last month, ISRO achieved a major achievement by landing the Chandrayaan-3 rover on the surface of the moon. Vikram Lander successfully made history by making a soft landing on the southern part of the moon. The Pragyan rover, which came out of the Vikram lander, conducted research for 14 days with the help of solar and sent data. 14 days on earth equals one day on the moon, that is, if we calculate on the basis of the earth, there are 14 days of light and 14 days of darkness on the moon. In the absence of sunlight, the temperature drops as low as minus 200 to 250 Celsius. The batteries of the lander and the rover are not capable of withstanding the shock of such low temperatures. The rover is currently in hibernation. Although scientists cannot say for sure whether the batteries will work in the presence of sunlight on the lunar surface, they have not given up hope. It has been sending signals continuously since September 22. Batteries can be...

If a user posts any questionable or inappropriate status that violates the messaging app's terms and conditions, it is called reporting to the app, according to WABetainfo, the status update can be reported by going to the status menu. This new option will let the moderation team know about any suspicious statuses. If you report any such status, the message will be forwarded for moderation and checked for any violations. As this feature does not break end-to-end encryption, Meta does not track any status or calls, bringing this feature will prove to be a significant step by the company.
