Whatsapp

Almost two years ago, the WhatsApp status option was launched. It is a quite used feature amongst the users.

After a few weeks of announcing a new feature of ‘disappearing messages’, WhatsApp has finally rolled out the feature for its Indian users. The messaging app will now allow users to switch on and off the feature of having unread chats disappear after a period of seven days. The users were informed about this feature at the beginning of this month. Now that it’s available, we took the chance to explore it! How To Enable The Option?

Benefit claimant Josh Powell raked in more than £230,000 in six years posting the Class A drug to customers all over the UK. The 29-year-old 'professional dealer' was arrested at the start of 2020 but carried on supplying in order to fund his 'extensive' heroin addiction.

By Guest Last updated Nov 28, 2020 WhatsApp Messenger, or popularly known as WhatsApp, is an American freeware which enables users to send text messages as well as voice messages, make voice and video calls, and share images, documents, user locations, and other media. It is so popular that the term “WhatsApp” has itself become a verb. WhatsApp is owned by Facebook and nowadays is doing rounds in the media due to the OTP scam. With great power comes great responsibility, similarly, with great use of technology comes responsibility to avoid the scams and privacy issues which are rampant especially for globally used platforms like WhatsApp. What is it exactly? WhatsApp has recently become a target of hackers and scammers. These hackers are using OTP in order to gain access to accounts illegally. The most probable reason of targeting WhatsApp would be the fact that a lot of information can be derived and fetched from the conversations. The modus operandi of these scammers is to act as an impostor, mostly as friends and family and asking help in the context of some emergency. This message in many cases is coming from the friends’ actual number instead of an unknown one.…

KANO, Nigeria (Reuters) - Two judges in northern Nigeria on Thursday heard the first appeals against Islamic law blasphemy convictions that caused global outrage when a man was sentenced to death over a WhatsApp message and a 13-year-old received a 10-year jail term.The judges, at the appeals section of the secular high court in the city of Kano, said verdicts would be delivered at a later date.In August, a Kano sharia court sentenced Yahaya Aminu Sharif to death for allegedly sharing a blasphemous message on WhatsApp and Omar Farouq, accused of making blasphemous comments in an argument, received a prison sentence.The convictions were condemned by rights groups, the United Nations and the head of Poland’s Auschwitz Memorial who said he and others would volunteer to each serve a month of the boy’s prison sentence. They also sparked a debate about sharia’s compatibility with Nigeria’s secular constitution.Nigeria is roughly evenly split between a predominantly Muslim north and mainly Christian south. Sharia, or Islamic religious law is applied in 12 of Nigeria’s 36 states where sharia courts operate alongside secular ones.The charges prompted anger in Kano, the north’s commercial hub, and protesters burned down Sharif’s family home in March.Kola Alapinni, a defence…

For long cyber experts and even government and financial institutions have been warning citizens never to share One-Time-Password (OTP) with anybody on phone. And yet, many are falling prey to the tricks played by hackers and lose hard-earned money or sensitive information.Now, in the latest instant, WhatsApp users are getting hoodwinked by bad actors. The modus operandi is the same. They pose as friends or a desperate fellow citizen, who accidentally sent a 6-digit OTP code to the wrong phone number (yours). They ask the victim to pass it on to them so that they can complete an urgent money transaction. For instant attention, they give dramatic excuses that they have to pay hospital bills or college fees. DO NOT FALL FOR THESE ACTS.If not, they will take over the WhatsApp account on the web and access your contacts' phone numbers and also photos, financial details if shared on the messenger app with a loved person. And, this will lead to a vicious cycle, as the bad actor will take note of the contact details and play the same trick on your friends and family members. Red alert: major WhatsApp hack going around. Dozens of friends/family hacked. Simple MO, you get this urgent…

An acquaintance and former neighbour of Matt Hancock is supplying the government with tens of millions of vials for NHS Covid-19 tests despite having had no previous experience of producing medical supplies. Alex Bourne, who used to run a pub close to Hancock’s former constituency home in Suffolk, said he initially offered his services to the UK health secretary several months ago by sending him a personal WhatsApp message. Bourne’s company, Hinpack, was at that time producing plastic cups and takeaway boxes for the catering industry. It is now supplying about 2m medical grade vials a week to the government via a distributor contracted by the NHS. Bourne categorically denies he profited from his personal contact with Hancock. However, the case raises questions for the health secretary and is likely to reignite the row over alleged government cronyism during the pandemic. Contacted last week by the Guardian, Bourne’s lawyers flatly denied that their client had any discussions with Hancock in relation to Covid-19 supplies. However, on Monday, after being confronted with further details about his interactions with the health secretary, Bourne backtracked. In a phone call with the Guardian, he conceded that he has in fact exchanged text and email…
