Whatsapp

OnePlus has been fine-tuning the OxygenOS 11 (Android 11) update for quite some time as there are several bugs and issues. The OnePlus 8 series bagged the latest OS update earlier in October while other eligible devices are still in line to get the same. Those on the OxygenOS 11 update have been reporting about a bug that seems to be affecting some functionality in WhatsApp. When users are opening to the emoji section on WhatsApp, the send button gets disabled and appears as a blank teal dot. There are a lot of reports about this issues on the OnePlus Community as well as other online platforms like Twitter. Also, it was being speculated that the bug might be in WhatsApp itself and is not related to OxygenOS 11. However, a OnePlus staff member has stated that the bug has been reported and development team is working to fix the issue. This indicates that the problem lies within OxygenOS itself and there have been no such reports about other Android devices. We’ve made a note of it and our DEV team is currently working on this. We’ll keep you posted regarding any further updates. Moreover, it is unclear how is the an OS update is affecting the functionality on an emoji platform in a particular app. Nevertheless, it is good to see that the OEM promptly addressed the issue and has already started working to fix it. That said, we will keep tracking this for further development and will provide more details once new information becomes available. In the meantime, you can check out our OnePlus Android 11 (OxygenOS 11) update tracker to get the latest updates on the topic.

There are several web services that employees of small and medium businesses most frequently access while working. These include YouTube, Facebook, Google services and WhatsApp, with some of these applications being the most exploited by malefactors as a springboard for phishing, researchers at Kaspersky have found.  However, this list differs from the services that employers tend to limit for use on corporate devices  According to anonymized statistics of events captured in a Kaspersky product, voluntarily provided by its customers, the top five web services employees access more often from their corporate devices include a video sharing platform, a social network, a mail service and a messenger: YouTube, Facebook, Google Drive, Gmail and WhatsApp - all leading services in their respective segments.  Unfortunately, these same web services are also exploited for phishing and other malicious actions. Kaspersky analysis revealed the top five applications where phishing attempts were found most often: Facebook (4.5m phishing attempts), WhatsApp (3.7m), Amazon (3.3m), Apple (3.1m) and Netflix (2.7m).   Google’s offerings bundled together, including YouTube, Gmail and Google Drive, took sixth position with 1.5m phishing attempts. With the two lists sharing many of the services, these results only confirm the trend that popular applications have become valuable platforms for fraudsters’ malicious actions.  How to stay safe?  Kaspersky suggests that businesses should follow these steps to ensure their employees use web services safely and securely:  ·Show employees how to recognize fake or insecure websites and phishing messages. Encourage them to never enter their credentials before checking a website’s credibility, or open and download files from unknown senders.  ·Conduct basic security awareness training for your employees. This can be done online and should cover essential practices including those that protect against phishing, such as account and password management, email security, endpoint security and web browsing.   ·Adopt a proven endpoint security…

New Delhi:  With the easing of restrictions and decreasing fear of COVID-19, the people of Delhi are moving back to the markets to shop for festivals and the wedding season. While the COVIID-19 pandemic has changed a lot of things including the adopting of hygiene habits and the social distancing norms, the shopping patterns of the customers too have changed. The wedding shopping which earlier saw the whole family accompanying the bride or groom to select their outfits has now shrunk to one or two members. The consent from the other members is these days being taken through video calls or sending photos wearing the selected option through Whatsapp. Speaking to IANS, Jeetu, a salesman at a store of ethnic brand Manyavar, said, “Earlier there used to be the whole family or the bride squad or the groom squad used to come to choose the outfit, but nowadays, only two or three people accompany the buyer and if they want any other opinion in their buying decision, they use video calling for the same.” “Technology is becoming the choice of the people so that buying also takes place and the social distancing norms are also not put at stake,” he added while adding that as compared to the previous seasons, the sale has remained just 40 per cent. He further informed that mostly serious buyers are coming and only one or two are window shoppers and even if they want to explore options they are visiting the nearby shops and take their buying decision. “Quick buying is taking place these days as mostly serious customers are coming to shop these days,” Jeetu said. Meanwhile, Suresh Verma, who has a jewellery shop in south Delhi’s posh South Extension-1 market told IANS that with the festive season coming closer the customer response…

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (PRWEB) October 27, 2020 Black Friday is approaching, and brands are adopting digital communications channels en masse in anticipation of the busy online shopping season. Infobip – a global omnichannel communications company – has been monitoring channel trends across their platform, finding WhatsApp growth far surpassing the growth of other channels. The firm’s data compared the impact of COVID-19 on interactions and their customer base from December 2019 to August 2020. Over this date range, Infobip doubled their WhatsApp customers, with the strongest drivers of growth coming from the retail and finance industries in the Americas and Africa. Several metrics point to a seismic shift in digital prioritization for brands across the board, and Infobip released their own measurements to back it up: Infobip’s WhatsApp customer base has grown 100% in 2020; retail was the leading vertical, with 115% customer growth. Infobip’s retail and finance clients saw interaction volumes surge by 150% and 170%, respectively from December 2019 to August 2020.

Infobip’s clients in the finance and retail industries saw 130% and 63% growth in monthly active users, respectively. Their overall clientele since the beginning of 2020 saw a 45% increase in the same metric.

He also has to pay a Dh20,000 compensation to the woman. A young man will pay a fine of Dh250,000 for sending insulting and abusive messages to a woman through WhatsApp, an Abu Dhabi court ruled. The Arab man was also told to pay Dh20,000 to the woman in compensation for the damages she suffered. Official court documents stated that the young Arab woman had lodged a complaint with the authorities accusing the man of sending her abusive and insulting texts via WhatsApp. She also presented to the police the offensive messages she received from the defendant. After investigating the matter, prosecutors referred the case to the court on charges of violating the law on use of information technology. The Abu Dhabi misdemeanour court had earlier sentenced the man to a fine of Dh250,000 after he was found guilty of violating the online law. The woman was told to file a civil suit against the man to claim the compensation for the material and moral damages she suffered as a result of the unlawful act. The civil court of first instance ordered the young man to pay a Dh20,000 compensation to the woman but she appealed the ruling because she was not satisfied with the payout. The appellant civil court, however, upheld the Dh20,000 compensation payout for the woman. Besides the compensation payout, the Arab man also has to pay the Dh250,000 fine over conviction for the abusive WhatApp messages. Article 20 of The Federal Law No.5 2020 on combating cybercrimes stipulates that a person is subject to punishment if they carry out the crimes by using the internet or any forms of information technology. The UAE law imposes a penalty of imprisonment or a fine of not less than Dh250,000 and not exceeding Dh500,000 or both penalties on whoever…

Without fail, shady Kenyans are at it again, this time around trying to scam people following Safaricom’s 20th-anniversary celebration. The new scam doing rounds on WhatsApp claims to be giving away KES 4100 as part of a Safaricom giveaway program. The perpetrators are convincing people that they should check whether their phone number has been shortlisted to receive the cash price. A screenshot of the scam being shared on WhatsApp Like a previous scam that we highlighted before, the minds behind this scam are not only creative but pretty smart as they have used Safaricom’s official brand colours, their new promotional font and even tried to mask the scam by using a domain that closely matches the title of their scam. We have reason to believe that this scam is related to that “Safaricom Spin” scam that claimed to reward people 3800 bob for spinning a wheel online. Like that one, this new “Anniversary” scam has gotten few things right that could lure unsuspecting victims: The layout: The outward User Interface is very Safaricom-esque. They have the right shades of green, good looking fonts and high quality ‘images’. The Link is also more appealing than most other scams Finally, Facebook comments and a like counter to give you the confidence that others have won too. This is how the scamming website looks like And just like the Spin scam, the scam artists have failed on some aspects. Especially when you get into the actual step of getting the money they claim to be rewarding you: Get verified by inputting your number (inputting fake numbers still gets you verified) Send the LINK TO 12 WHATSAPP GROUPS Click the link specific to the phone and then… nothing Risks within this Scam They are collecting your phone numbers: This means you might soon…
