'लॉकी' ने लॉक किये मंत्रालय के 150 कंप्यूटर, फिरौती मिलने के बाद ही खुलता है लॉकी का लॉक!

महाराष्ट्र मंत्रालय के तक़रीबन 150 कंप्यूटर लॉक हो चुके हैं। यानी उन कंप्यूटरों में दर्ज फ़ाइलों को खोला या पढ़ा नहीं जा सकता है। जानकारों की मानें तो ये एक वायरस अटैक है जिसके जरिये कंप्यूटर की फ़ाइल लॉक कर फिरौती वसूली जाती है, इसलिए इसका नाम ही लॉकी रैनसमवेयर है।

लॉकी रैनसमवेयर की वजह से पिछले 10 दिनों से 150 कंप्यूटरों की फाइलें एन्क्रिप्ट हो चुकी हैं। डाटा पढ़ा नहीं जा सक रहा है। हालांकि गृहराज्य मंत्री राम शिंदे का कहना है कि चिंता की कोई बात नहीं। सारे डाटा का बैकअप सुरक्षित है।

साइबर क्राइम की भाषा में इसे लॉकी रैनसमवेयर अटैक कहते हैं। ये एक खतरनाक कंप्यूटर वायरस है जो कंप्यूटर को लॉक कर देता है और यूज़र से उनकी फ़ाइलों की रिकवरी के लिए पैसे की मांग करता है।

सायबर एक्सपर्ट राहुल अयप्पन के अनुसार ज़्यादातर कंप्यूटर वायरसों की तरह रैनसमवेयर भी अक्सर फ़र्ज़ी ईमेल, स्पैम या फ़र्ज़ी सॉफ़्टवेयर अपडेट के रूप में आता है। जिसे यह मिलता है वह इसके लिंक या अटैचमेंट पर क्लिक करता है तो वायरस यूज़र की फ़ाइलों को एनक्रिप्ट करना शुरू कर देता है।

साधारण भाषा में हम इसे फिरौती के लिए किसी को बंधक बनाना कह सकते हैं और जिस तरह फिरौती की रकम देने के बाद भी बंधक के जिन्दा वापस मिलने की कोई गारंटी नहीं होती वैसे ही इसमें भी बिट कॉइन के जरिये पैसे देने के बाद भी फाइलें अनलॉक होने की कोई गारंटी नहीं।

बिट कॉइन यानी कि इंटरनेशनल डिजिटल वॉलेट, जिसके जरिये विश्व में कहीं भी ऑनलाइन व्यवहार किया जा सकता है। मतलब आप कुछ भी खरीद-बेच सकते हैं और बैंकों से भी व्यवहार कर सकते हैं।

भारत में एक बिट कॉइन की कीमत 30 से 32 हजार रुपये है। हैकर या उस तरह के लोग इस तरह के कामों के लिए बिट कॉइन का इस्तेमाल करते हैं ताकि उनकी पहचान छिपी रहे।

दुबई में तैयार हुआ दुनिया का पहला 3D प्रिंटेड ऑफिस!

दुबई में दुनिया का पहला 3D प्रिंटेड ऑफिस तैयार किया गया है। यह सिंगल स्टोरी ऑफिस 2700 स्क्वेयर फुट एरिया में बना है। इसे 20 फुट लंबे 3D प्रिंटर की मदद से 17 दिनों में तैयार किया गया है।

इसे इमारत को बनाने में कंक्रीट, प्लास्टिक फाइबर और ग्लास फाइबर से बना मटीरियल यूज किया गया है। प्रिंटर 120 फुट ऊंचा और 40 फीट चौड़ा था, मगर इसे चलाने में एक ही व्यक्ति की मदद ली गई। बाकी 18 लोगों में इंस्टॉलर, इलेक्ट्रिशन और मकैनिकल इंजिनियर थे।

इस दफ्तर को 3D प्रिंटिंग से बनाने में पारंपरिक तरीकों के मुकाबले आधी लागत आई। यहां दुबई फ्यूचर फाउंडेशन का दफ्तर बनेगा और अगले साल इसे दुबई म्यूजियम ऑफ द फ्यूचर में तब्दील कर दिया जाएगा।

यूएसई के कैबिनेट अफेयर्स मिनिस्टर मोहम्मद अल गेरगवी ने कहा, 'यह दुनिया की पहली 3D प्रिंटेड इमारत है। यह सिर्फ इमारत नहीं, पूरी तरह से काम करने वाला ऑफिस है।' उन्होंने कहा कि दुबई का इरादा 2030 तक 25 फीसदी इमारतों का निर्माण 3D प्रिंटिंग से करने का है।

Android Instant Apps: Everything You Need to Know

• The Instant Apps is compatible with Android Jelly Bean and later.
• With Instant Apps, only the required app modules are downloaded.
• Some of Google partners include BuzzFeed, Zumper, and Disney.                                 

Google at I/O 2016 keynote made some major announcements and one of them was about the Android Instant Apps. The feature will allow users to open any app by just tapping on a link even if the app isn’t installed.It’s an expansion of the app streaming feature the company’s been working on.

During the keynote, Google stressed that it wanted to make possible for people to access a wider range of apps, seamlessly. “Today [Wednesday] we’re sharing a preview of a new project that we think will change how people experience Android apps. We call it Android Instant Apps, and it evolves Android apps to be able to run instantly, without requiring installation,” said Suresh Ganapathy, Product Manager.

The new feature basically lets users access apps from search, social media, messaging, and other deep links without the need to stop and first install the app. The company explained that the feature requires partner apps to be built with modules which will mean that user will access only the necessary modules when tapped on an app feature without downloading the entire app.

Google to make sure majority of Android users get access to the Instant Apps feature has made it compatible with Android Jelly Bean OS and later versions. Ganapathy claims this way the Android Instant Apps will reach over a billion users.

In a blog post, Ganapathy explains that developers will not be required to build a new and separate app for Google’s Instant Apps feature. “It’s the same Android APIs, the same project, the same source code. You’ll simply update your existing Android app to take advantage of Instant Apps functionality,” he adds.

The company confirmed that they are working with a small set of developers for the Instant Apps, and they will gradually expand the access soon.

As of now, Google worked with partners developers like BuzzFeed, B&H Photo, Medium, Hotel Tonight, Zumper and Disney. The Android Instant Apps will be available to users later this year.

Google has of course been working on app streaming features for a while now, and in November last year let users stream apps from search results.

Beginning with the Le 2, the smartphone houses a 5.5-inch bezel-less HD display, a 2.3GHz deca-core MediaTek Helio X20 SoC paired with 3GB of RAM and Mali GPU. It sports 16-megapixel rear camera, 8-megapixel front camera, and 32GB of internal storage. It packs a 3000mAh battery, and supports LTE connectivity.

The Le 2 Pro bears visible bezel, a 21-megapixel rear camera, and offers options of a deca-core MediaTek Helio X20 SoC or a deca-core MediaTek Helio X25 processor. It also comes with 4GB RAM, and is integrated with the fast charging feature. All the other specifications are identical to the Le 2.

HTC 10 India Launch Expected at Thursday Event!

• HTC has sent out invites for an India launch event on Thursday.
• HTC 10, or the HTC 10 Lifestyle, are widely expected to launch.
• The Taiwanese company may launch other smartphones as well.

HTC has sent out media invites for an event in Delhi on Thursday, and it is widely expected that the company will launch its latest flagship smartphone, the HTC 10, in India.

The HTC 10 smartphone was announced globally in April and was powered by the Snapdragon 820 variant. However, the company listed another smartphone called HTC 10 Lifestyle in India, which came with a Snapdragon 652 SoC. This created quite some noise, however, the company later attempted to clarify that the ‘global variant’ will be headed to India – but it is still unclear what that means. It is no known whether HTC will be looking to launch the HTC 10 or HTC 10 Lifestyle variant in India, or both.

The HTC 10 runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow out-of-the-box, alongside 4GB of RAM (3GB on the HTC 10 Lifestyle). The smartphone features a 5.2-inch Quad HD (1440×2560 pixels) Super LCD 5 display with a pixel density of 564ppi. It is powered by a Snapdragon 820 SoC (Snapdragon 652 on the HTC 10 Lifestyle)
The smartphone sports a 12-UltraPixel laser autofocus camera with dual tone LED flash, BSI sensor, and optical image stabilisation (OIS).

 The HTC 10 Lifestyle bears a sapphire lens for the rear camera in addition. There is a 5-megapixel front-facing camera as well featuring autofocus, BSI sensor, ptical image stabilisation (OIS), and auto selfie.

The HTC 10 comes in 32GB and 64GB (only 32GB available on HTC 10 Lifestyle) inbuilt storage options, expandable via microSD card (up to 2TB). It packs a 3000mAh battery, and includes Bluetooth 4.2, NFC, DLNA, 4G connectivity options. The HTC 10 comes in Glacier Silver, and Carbon Grey colour variants.

The Taiwanese manufacturer has launched several phones in the past few months that have not made their way to India, and it is possible the company may bring those in as well. The much awaited HTC Vive VR headset may once again be showcased.

खर्च ज्यादा किया तो रिस्टबैंड से लगेगा करंट!

ब्रिटिश सॉफ्टवेयर कंपनी ने एक ऐसा रिस्टबैंड बनाया है जिससे आपकी ज्यादा खर्च करने की आदत पर लगाम लग सकता है। अगर आप बहुत खर्चीले हैं और आपका खर्च हर बार आपके बजट से बाहर चला जाता है तो आपके लिए यह रिस्टबैंड बहुत मददगार साबित होने वाला है।

पैवलोक की यह रिस्टबैंड यूजर्स की आदतों पर निगरानी रखेगा और जब यूजर्स अपने ही बनाए नियमों को तोड़ने की कोशिश करेंगे तो यह इलेक्ट्रिकल शॉक देगा। इसके लिए यूजर्स को बैंक अकाउंट को रिस्टबैंड से लिंक करवाना होगा।

इंटेलिजेंट इन्वाइरनमेंट्स जो HSBC और बैंक ऑफ आयरलैंड जैसी बैंकिंग संस्थाओं को सॉफ्टवेयर बेचती है, ने रिस्टबैंड को बैंक अकाउंट्स से कनेक्ट करने का आइडिया दिया है।

यूजर्स को अपने बैंक अकाउंट या क्रेडिट कार्ड को किसी इंटरनेट डिवाइस जैसे रिस्टबैंड से जोड़ना होगा। इसके बाद यूजर्स खर्च की एक सीमा तय कर देंगे। जब वह अपनी खर्च की सीमा को पार करने करने के नजदीक पहुंच जाएंगे तो उन्हें मेसेज अलर्ट या हल्का इलेक्ट्रिकल शॉक दिया जाएगा। यही नहीं अगर खर्च की तय सीमा को आप पार कर गए तो आपको 340 वोल्ट्स का इलेक्ट्रिकल शॉक भी मिल सकता है। हालांकि इसकी सेंटिग्स आपको ही करनी है।

वॉट्सऐप को टक्कर देगा गूगल का 'ऐलो' ऐप!

वॉट्सऐप और हाइक जैसे इंस्टेंट मेसेजिंग ऐप को टक्कर देने के लिए गूगल ने कमर कस ली है। अपने ऐलो नामक नए ऐप में गूगल ने कई शानदार फीचर्स दिए हैं। हालांकि यह ऐप फिलहाल प्ले स्टोर पर डाउनलोडिंग के लिए उपलब्ध नहीं है लेकिन इसके लिए आप रजिस्टर कर सकते हैं। ऐसा करने पर आपको लॉन्चिंग के बाद डाउनलोडिंग का लिंक ईमेल के माध्यम से मिल जाएगा।

गूगल ने इस ऐप पर जबरदस्त मेहनत की है और वॉट्सऐप से एक कदम आगे निकलते हुए गूगल ने इस ऐप में आर्टिफिशियल इंटेलीजेंस का बेहतरीन उपयोग किया है। गूगल की ब्लॉग पोस्ट में बताया गया है कि ऐलो मेसेजिंग ऐप से एक-दूसरे को स्मार्ट रिप्लाई भेजे जा सकते हैं। यानी इस ऐप में किसी मेसेज का जवाब देते समय टेक्स्ट का सुझाव दिया जाएगा। यह सुझाव बिल्कुल उसी तरह होगा जैसा शॉर्ट ईमेल लिखते समय 'इनबॉक्स' ऐप में होता है। उदाहरण के लिए, अगर किसी मैसेज में लिखा है, 'क्या हम कल मूवी देखने चल सकते हैं?' तो ऐलो 'श्योर', 'सॉरी' या 'आई कैन नॉट' जैसे सुझाव देगा। जिससे यूजर अपने मैसेज के जवाब जल्द दे सकेंगे।

गूगल ने इस ऐप में इमेज रेकग्नाइज़ सॉफ्टवेयर का जबरदस्त इस्तेमाल किया है। इसके तहत अगर आप कोई इमेज भेजते हैं तो गूगल आपको इस इमेज के हिसाब से ही सुझाव भेजता है जिससे आप आसानी से बिना टाइप किए ही रिप्लाई कर सकते हैं। इसके अलावा गूगल असिस्टेंट, ऐलो ऐप के साथ तालमेल बिठाते हुए आपको बेहतरीन विडियोज और गेम्स डाउनलोड की सलाह भी देता है।

Asus ZenFone 3 Series Design, Features Touted Ahead of May 30 Launch

• Asus at its May 30 launch event will reveal three new devices.
• ZenFone 3, ZenFone 3 Deluxe, and ZenFone 3 Max are expected to launch.
• All three are expected to sport fingerprint scanner at the rear.

Asus had confirmed its ‘Zenvolution’ press event at the sidelines of Computex 2016 on May 31 where the company is expected to launch the new ZenFone 3 series of smartphones. Ahead of the official unveiling, Asus has teased the upcoming ZenFone 3 series in a teaser video confirming three handsets will launch including the Asus ZenFone 3, ZenFone 3 Deluxe, and ZenFone 3 Max.
The 34-seconds YoutUbe video shared by Asus shows three handsets – first with ‘Clarity’ tagline, second with ‘Desire’ tagline, and the third with ‘Unlimited.’ The official video tips some of the features of the upcoming ZenFone 3 series including a fingerprint scanner at the back, metal frames, and large screen size.
The YouTube video titled ‘Zenvolution is coming’ has a tagline says, “Get ready to redefine clarity, desirable detail, and unlimited viewing area.”
An earlier report citing Asus CEO Jerry Shen suggested that the upcoming ZenFone 3 smartphone series will launch in June and target the mid-range segment. Shen had added that 90 percent of the ZenFone 3 smartphones will have Qualcomm SoCs while 10 percent devices will pack MediaTek SoCs. He further claimed that the ZenFone 3 devices will be available in six countries in August.
Talking possibly about the Max variant of the ZenFone 3, Shen had revealed plans for a Max model under the ZenFone 3 range and added that the ZenFone 3 Max will account for nearly two-thirds of total ZenFone 3 shipments. Some of the other ZenFone 3 variants teased by Shen include the ZenFone 3 Deluxe and ZenFone 3. Talking about competition, Shen had claimed that Asus will compete with Huawei and Oppo in the Chinese market.

Acer Liquid X2 review

Liquid X2, Acer called it, when it clearly should have been the Acer Liquid X3. Now, we understand how the smartphone comes to replace the X1, but how did they miss out on a chance to name a triple-SIM device the X3, even if it skips a digit? Yes, the Acer Liquid X2 has multiple SIM slots, three of them.

Okay, to be fair, Acer already had one triple-SIM offering – the Liquid E700 – and it had the Trio moniker slapped to its name in some markets. Apparently, the company is no stranger to creative naming, it just chose to keep it simple for the Liquid X2.

Anyway, the number of SIM slots quickly reveals the price-conscious nature of the smartphone. Even if you had any doubts about it, the 720p resolution of the 5.5-inch display does well to squash them.

That said, the budget constraints have luckily not affected most of the other areas. The Mediatek MT6753 chipset is a reasonably powerful performer, there is a respectable 32GB of storage on board, and RAM is at a far-from-entry-level 3GB. There are also a couple of 13MP cams, one on the back, and one for selfies, and each gets an LED flash – not what you’d call skimping.

Powering the smartphone is a generous 4,020mAh battery (removable too), because what good are all these radios if they drill through your power pack in half a day of standby. A nicely balanced overall package, then.

Acer Liquid X2 key features

• 5.5″ 720p IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen, 267ppi
• Triple-SIM card support
• All-plastic build, removable rear cover
• Mediatek MT6753 chipset; octa-core 1.3GHz Cortex-A53 CPU, Mali-T720MP4 GPU, 3GB of RAM
• 13MP autofocus rear camera, f/1.8 lens, single-LED flash; 1080p@30fps video recording
• 13MP autofocus front camera, f/1.8 lens, single-LED flash; 1080p@30fps video recording
• 32GB built-in storage, dedicated microSD slot
• Android Lollipop 5.1
• Cat. 4 LTE (150/50Mbps); Wi-Fi b/g/n; Bluetooth 4.0; GPS; microUSB, FM radio
• 4,020mAh battery
• Standard 3.5mm headphone jack, 24-bit/192kHz DAC, Dolby DTS HD certification

Main disadvantages

• Not quite enough resolution for the screen real estate
• Bulky for the screen size
• Android 5.1 is somewhat dated

Looking at the above lists, users of multiple carriers or multiple numbers with the same carrier will find plenty to like about the Acer Liquid X2. Perhaps its biggest shortcoming is the low pixel density, but that’s understandable, it just needed to fit it into the budget. And just because we have twice the ppi in some flagships, doesn’t make the X2’s 267ppi all that terrible.

Of course, the above is based solely on the spec sheet, before we’ve even opened the box. That’s exactly what we’re going to do on the next page, where our usual routine begins.

Xiaomi Yi Action Camera 2 With 4K Video Support Launched

• The new Yi Action Camera 2 has been priced at roughly Rs. 12,000.
• It will be competing against the GoPro Hero 4.
• The new action camera from Xiaomi is available only in China.

Xiaomi initially tried its hands at action cameras, a market traditionally dominated by GoPro, last year with the launch of Yi Action Camera priced at dirt cheap CNY 399 (roughly Rs. 3,900). The Chinese company has now upgraded its action camera range with the Xiaomi Yi Action Camera 2 model pricedat CNY 1,199 (approximately Rs. 12,000). It is also available to pre-order via a third-party online retailer.

The new Yi Action Camera 2 is also being referred to as Yi 4K action camera by the company, considering the device sports 4K video recording capabilities at 30fps. It can also record full-HD videos at 120fps as well as HD videos at 240fps.

The Yi Action Camera 2 sports a 12-megapixel Sony IMX377 sensor which comes with f/2.8 aperture and 155-degree wide viewing angle. The device features a 2.19-inch display and also sports Corning Gorilla Glass for protection. The company says that the display on Yi Action Camera 2 comes with 160-degree wide viewing angles.

One of the highlights of the new Yi Action Camera 2 packs 1400mAh battery which is claimed to offer more battery life than GoPro Hero 4. The company touted that the new Yi Action Camera can record for up to 2 hours of continuous video recording. It comes with microSD card slot and supports Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0.

Another notable feature of the new action camera from Yi is it packs EIS (electronic image stabilisation) which is a feature the company touts misses out on the GoPro Hero 4.

OnePlus 3 Images Leak; Show Design Changes and USB Type-C Port

HIGHLIGHTS

• OnePlus 3’s front and bottom images have been leaked online.
• The smartphone sports several design changes.
• OnePlus is due to launch the smartphone in the second quarter.

Rumours surrounding the upcoming flagship OnePlus 3 have been doing the rounds for quite some time. And now, a new leak has surfaced giving us a better idea about how the new smartphone will look.

Twitter user The Malignant leaked two images of the OnePlus 3 showing us the front and bottom panels of the smartphone, revealing some a few design changes from the OnePlus 2. The front looks similar to the OnePlus 2, with no visible change. The OnePlus 2 home button stays, where the fingerprint scanner will most likely be embedded.

The rear portion of the device sports the speaker vents, the 3.5mm audio jack, and the USB Type-C port. The speaker holes are now exclusive only to the left side, unlike the OnePlus 2, which housed them on both sides of the USB Type-C port at the bottom. The headphone jack has also been shifted to the bottom of the device.

Though the tipster did warn the rear panel of the phone seen in the leaked photos does not feature a ‘retail shape’, and thus did not share the photo, we noticed is from the bottom panel that the rear of the OnePlus 3 sees a less pronounced curve as compared to its predecessor. While the OnePlus 2’s rear panel tapered towards its edges, these leaked shots indicate that the next smartphone may ditch this design. OnePlus Co-Founder Carl Pei had earlier suggested the One Plus 3 will come with a completely “new design”.

Earlier leaks point at two storage variants 32GB and 64GB. The 32GB storage variant will come with 4GB of RAM and will be priced at $308, while the 64GB variant will come with a 6GB RAM and will be priced at $385. There is also word of a 128GB model, but no information on the price tag of that variant has been revealed. The OnePlus 3 is expected to sport a 5-inch full-HD (1080×1920 pixels) display and be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC.

The smartphone should run OxygenOS based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, and previous leaks tip it should come with a 16-megapixel rear camera, an 8-megapixel front camera, sport 32GB of inbuilt storage. The battery is pegged to be 3500mAh with the new “Dash Charge” feature, which is basically OnePlus’ name for fast charging technology. Pei has also announced that the OnePlus 3 will launchsometime in the second quarter of this year with a “better buying process”.
