Navi Mumbai, dt. 4 March 2024, Monday

Millions of Android users in India face multiple malware attacks every day. However again a threat has arisen for the Android OS. Security experts have warned about a new type of malware Android XLoader. This malware takes access to important details from smartphones. Not only online but also not leaving SMS and stealing all the data in the background. This malware can prove to be very dangerous for smartphone users.

How does Android XLoader malware attack?

A Bleeping Computer report by McAfee stated that Android XLoader malware can attack devices very easily. It contains an SMS message with an infected website URL. This SMS opens the way to malicious apps in the phone. As soon as the given link is clicked, the APK file gets installed in the handset and later its theft starts.

App installs from other sources:

These links install applications from other sources using sideloading techniques. Notably, even mobile users are not aware of this. This malware not only accesses SMS but can also track apps. Hackers can target you using these tools.

Removed Google but not third-party controls:

McAfee has already informed Google about this latest vulnerability. The company immediately removed the malware after this. However, Google cannot control the apps available outside the Play Store. Google recommends enabling Play Protect to keep your device secure. This saves you from many dangers.

Five decades after man's arrival, 'moon trip' difficult, 60 out of 146 missions fail

India tried to land on the moon in 2019 which failed. In 2023, India's space agency ISRO successfully landed on the moon. India is the first country to successfully land on the South Pole of the Moon unscathed. This success of India is also big because so far a total of 146 lunar missions have been launched out of which 60 have failed. Only four countries made a soft landing on the lunar surface According to Dr. Gail Isles of RMIT University, Australia, the Moon is the only celestial body other than Earth where humans have set foot. It also makes sense to go there first as it is our closest object at about four kilometers away. Interestingly, only four countries have made a soft landing on the surface of the moon so far. On the other hand, its South Pole is still mysterious, where only India has been able to reach. So many countries have failed Even Russia, the first country to make a soft landing on the moon 60 years ago, recently failed to land Luna-25 on the moon's sout...

The transmission power of Corona virus sticking to the surface decreases after 5 days - research

Image
London, 10, June, 2020, Wednesday It is common knowledge that the corona virus is spread from person to person through sneezing and nasal and oral droplets, as well as if the corona virus is spread on a plastic metal or other surface. There has been a lot of research on how long the corona virus survives on which surface, but the research done by the University College London in Britain is shocking. According to research published in the Journal of Hospital Infections, corona viruses can live on any surface for up to five days at most. It can spread to a large area within the first 10 hours when the transmissible power of the corona virus, which landed on the surface on the fifth day, was reduced. Observed after 10 hours, it spread to every corner of the ward. During the experiment Corona used a virus to infect artificial plants with a virus for a patient's breath that could not infect a man. Both viruses were then found in a drop of water and left on the bed railing. The viru...

New York, October 16, 2021, Friday With the development of space science, new information about space and planets is coming out. According to the information received, a tremendous solar storm is moving towards the earth. Solar storms could hit Earth in a matter of hours, according to a new US warning. Researchers are divided over what effect this will have on the Earth, but some believe it could have an adverse effect on power supplies, GPS systems and mobile signals. Scientists have warned that Northern Lights from space could also appear in the US and UK. The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says a solar storm could cause lightning in many parts of the earth. Magnetic force can also be felt in some places. This can also damage the power grid. The storm, which started on October 11, has intensified since October 15. It is moving at a speed of 12 lakh km per hour.

- Amazing exploration of NASA's Perseverance rover - Rocks and pebbles found at Castel Henlez, near Jezero Ulcakund, must have been washed up by stormy river floods in the past. Washington/Mumbai: The mysteries and wonders of our solar system, including the infinite universe, are also being discovered. Earth's neighbor and the red planet of the Solar System, Mars, has strong evidence of past flowing water. The Perseverance rover of the American space research organization National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), which is researching on Mars, has found strong evidence of water flowing on the surface of Mars in the past, i.e. millions of years ago. Evidence has been found. Now, based on all these evidences, there is also a strong indication that if there was flowing water on this red planet in the past, there must have been a phase of life there.

IIT researchers develop real-time underwater marine robot, eases deep-sea surveillance

Image
image : Envato and Twitter Real-time underwater marine robot: Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mandi and Palakkad have achieved a tremendous achievement in developing real-time underwater marine robot for underwater surveillance. The function of this robot will be close underwater monitoring and verification. Its level of efficacy would be very high, risk would be extremely low and it would likely be cost-effective, the researchers said. Jagdish Kadian, assistant professor at the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics at IIT Mandi, said that learning about the ocean's internal currents from history led to the conclusion that only by placing instruments on research ships deep can one gain more insight into the ocean. Kadian, a co-author of the study, said that a typical cruise ship stays on the surface for a month or two, limiting the possibility of producing a comprehensive report on the sea. So it has often been said that changes in the sea do not wait for a ship ...
