A few tweets about FaceApp, an AI photo editor developed by a Russian company, sparked a privacy freakout among those who'd uploaded their selfies. However, security researchers say the concerns are overblown. Should you be afraid of FaceApp , the photo editor out of Russia accused of vacuuming up photos of millions of Americans? According to security researchers, we all need to calm down. The app isn't trying to invade your privacy and mass upload all the photos from your phone. "We have found nothing out of the ordinary in this app," Aviran Hazum , a researcher at the antivirus company Check Point, said in an email. Hazum is among the experts who've analyzed FaceApp and found no major privacy violations in the software's processes.

WhatsApp turned ten years old in 2019, and that fact has not escaped the attention of cybercriminals looking to exploit the anniversary. Researchers from ESET have received a WhatsApp message offering 1000GB of free internet data by way of a WhatsApp birthday present to its users. That message, unsurprisingly, is neither from WhatsApp itself as it purported to be, nor is the offer of 1000GB of free internet data genuine. It is a scam, and not a very convincing one assuming you know what to look for that is. Unfortunately, given that this is the 10th anniversary year for WhatsApp and gifts to loyal members are not exactly unusual, it would be all too easy for the unwary user to get carried away by the fraudulent promotion. What does the message say? "WhatsApp Offers 1000GB Free Internet!" the message reads, with a link to click for more details. That link is the first real giveaway that all may not be as it seems; it isn't an official WhatsApp domain. Howev

The new Redmi K20 Pro builds on the popular Redmi name but takes Xiaomi back into high-end territory. Priced starting at Rs. 27,999 with its top-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor, this phone undercuts even OnePlus, which has been the go-to brand for affordable flagship phones for quite some time now.
