WhatsApp backtracks on app limitations if you refuse new privacy terms

And as online payments grow, so do online frauds and cyber attacks. Paytm, one of India's widely used digital payments platforms, is no stranger to such frauds. The company, and CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma, have frequently alerted users of such schemes. In the latest of such frauds, a fake Paytm website promises cashback of Rs 2,647 to users. The new cyber-attack on users completely unversed with phishing sites comes in the form of a notification reading, "Congratulations!
