After a sprawling hacking campaign exposed the communications of an unknown number of Americans, U.S. cybersecurity officials are advising people to use encryption in their communications. To safeguard against the risks highlighted by the campaign, which originated in China, federal cybersecurity authorities released an extensive list of security recommendations for U.S. telecom companies — such as Verizon and AT&T — that were targeted. The advice includes one tip we can all put into practice with our phones: “Ensure that traffic is end-to-end encrypted to the maximum extent possible.” End-to-end encryption, also known as E2EE, means that messages are scrambled so that only the sender and recipient can see them. If anyone else intercepts the message, all they will see is garble that can't be unscrambled without the key. Law enforcement officials had until now resisted this type of encryption because it means the technology companies themselves won't be able to look at the messages, nor respond to law enforcement requests to turn the data over. Adobe Stock Here's a look at various ways ordinary consumers can use end-to-end encryption: Officials said the hackers targeted the metadata of a large number of customers, including information on the dates, times and recipients of calls and texts. They also managed to see the content from texts from a much smaller number of victims. If you're an iPhone user, information in text messages that you send to someone else who also has an iPhone will be encrypted end-to-end. Just look for the blue text bubbles, which indicate that they are encrypted iMessages. The same goes for Android users sending texts through Google Messages. There will be a lock next to the timestamp on each message to indicate the encryption is on. But there's a weakness. When iPhone and Android users text each other, the messages are encrypted only using Rich Communication Services, an industry standard for instant messaging that replaces the older SMS and MMS standards. Apple has noted that RCS messages “aren’t end-to-end encrypted, which means they’re not protected from a third party reading them while they’re sent between devices.” Samsung, which sells Android smartphones, has also hinted at the issue in a footnote at the bottom of a press release last month on RCS, saying, “Encryption only available for Android to Android communication.” To avoid getting caught out when trading texts, experts recommend using encrypted messaging apps. Privacy advocates are big fans of Signal, which applies end-to-end encryption to all messages and voice calls. The independent nonprofit group behind the app promises never to sell, rent or lease customer data and has made its source code publicly available so that it can be audited by anyone to examine it “for security and correctness.” Signal's encryption protocol is so reputable that it has been integrated into rival WhatsApp, so users will enjoy the same level of security protection as Signal, which has a much smaller user base. End-to-end encryption is also the default mode for Facebook Messenger, which like WhatsApp is owned by Meta Platforms. Telegram is an app that can be used for one-on-one conversations, group chats and broadcast “channels" but contrary to popular perception, it doesn't turn on end-to-end encryption by default. Users have to switch on the option. And it doesn’t work with group chats. Cybersecurity experts have warned people against using Telegram for private communications and pointed out that only its opt-in ‘secret chat’ feature is encrypted from end-to-end. The app also has a reputation for being a haven for scammers and criminal activity, highlighted by founder and CEO Pavel Durov's arrest in France. Instead of using your phone to make calls through a wireless cellular network, you can make voice calls with Signal and WhatsApp. Both apps encrypt calls with the same technology that they use to encrypt messages. There are other options. If you have an iPhone you can use Facetime for calls, while Android owners can use the Google Fi service, which are both end-to-end encrypted. The only catch with all these options is that, as with using the chat services to send messages, the person on the other end will also have to have the app installed. WhatsApp and Signal users can customize their privacy preferences in the settings, including hiding an IP address during calls to prevent your general location from being guessed.India, Kuwait elevate ties to strategic partnership India and Kuwait on Sunday (December 22, 2024) elevated their relationship to a strategic partnership after Prime Minister Narendra Modi held extensive talks with Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah.

Personal Finance Savings account rules: Do not deposit so much money in your bank account, otherwise be ready for a tax notice By Shyamu Maurya December 22, 2024 0 20 Share Facebook Twitter Pinterest WhatsApp Telegram Savings account rules: Do not deposit so much money in your bank account, otherwise be ready for a tax notice Savings account rules: Common people are not aware of many rules related to savings account and later they have to face income tax notice. In such a situation, it is better that they know about it beforehand. Savings account rules: Have you ever wondered how much money you can deposit in your savings bank account in a business year? There is a provision for this under the tax law, in which you can get a notice from the tax department for depositing more than the prescribed limit during a business year. This limit is up to Rs 10 lakh. You may have to pay tax on deposits of more than Rs 10 lakh in a savings account between April 1 and March 31 in a business year. If you deposit more than Rs 10 lakh, then it is mandatory to inform the Income Tax Department about this. This limit is not only for one savings account, but for all your savings accounts. Banks themselves disclose the details of such transactions at their level. What will happen on deposits of more than Rs 10 lakh? Deposits of more than Rs 10 lakh are considered high-value transactions. In such a situation, banks or financial institutions give information about such deposits to the Income Tax Department under the tax law. It is also mandatory to provide PAN on deposits of Rs 50,000 in a day. If someone does not have a PAN, then they have to submit Form 60/61. What will happen to the interest received on deposits? Let us also tell you that if you earn more than Rs 10,000 interest on bank deposits in a business year, then tax is levied on it on the basis of the fixed slab. If the interest received from bank deposits in a business year is less than Rs 10,000, then tax exemption can be obtained under Section 80TTA of the Income Tax Act. Senior citizens can get tax exemption on interest up to Rs 50,000 under section 80TTB. To calculate this limit, you have to add the interest earned on deposits in all your bank accounts. What to do if you get such a notice from the tax department? If you receive a notice from the Income Tax Department regarding a high-value transaction, first of all you will have to provide sufficient evidence for it. Bank statements, investment records and inheritance documents may be required. It would be better for you to consult a certified tax advisor on this. As far as transactions in cash are concerned, under section 269ST, no person can transact more than Rs 2 lakh with anyone at one time in a day.

NoneHow to protect your communications through encryption

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Leaks: Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra leaks have created a buzz in the industry. Images of the upcoming flagship smartphone have surfaced on social media platforms. Renowned tipsters have shared images of the handset, but leaks eventually turn out to deal damage to the companies. A report from PhoneArena claims that Samsung traced back the leaks to the employees responsible for it and fired them. Continues below advertisement window.addEventListener("load", function() { let ad_unit_fire_time = 1000; if(ad_delay_time_abp > 0){ ad_unit_fire_time = parseInt(ad_delay_time_abp) + 500; } setTimeout(function () { googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-9167143-2"); }); },ad_unit_fire_time) }); Recent leaks by tipsters may have caused a stir, but it was an X post by @Jukanlosreve showcasing images of the Samsung Galaxy S25+ that ultimately led to the termination of several Samsung employees. If you've ever noticed live images of unreleased devices with taped-over sections, it's not just a random choice—those areas often conceal identifying numbers or markings. These details can be traced back to the source of the leak, helping companies like Samsung identify and address such breaches. How Were They Identified? For the Galaxy S25+, the images shared in the post did not obscure the device identification number. This allowed Samsung to trace the leaked photos back to the individuals responsible for sharing them. For some employees working at phone manufacturing or assembly companies, selling leaked images of highly anticipated devices might seem like an appealing way to earn extra money. However, the risks are high, as being caught in the act can result in losing your job. Max Jambor, editor of @AllAboutSamsung, shared another post highlighting the identification numbers visible on the Galaxy S25+. These numbers enabled Samsung to pinpoint the employees responsible for the leak, resulting in their termination, reported PhoneArena. Interestingly, this incident occurred just a day before Evan Blass leaked images of both the Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy S25+, along with the announcement date for the Galaxy S25 series.
