The latest report from McAfee reveals that over 300,000 devices are at immediate risk due to around 14 malicious Android apps found on the Play Store. Although Google has removed these apps, users who have already installed them remain vulnerable to potential intrusion and data leaks.

    The Xamalicious issue has been lingering since mid-2020, posing a persistent threat to those who have not scanned their devices for the malware. (Also Read: How Much Monthly Interest Will You Earn For Rs 1 Lakh FD Across Different Tenors? Check Calculator)

    While the removal of apps from the Play Store is a positive step, users must exercise caution in how they use their phones to prevent any compromise of their sensitive information. (Also Read: Ratan Tata’s 86th Birthday: Check Out 5 Interesting Facts About Industrialist)

    To avoid falling victim to Xamalicious:

    Download only genuine apps from the Play Store to minimize the risk of malware threats.

  • Get Ready For Galaxy Ride: Samsung Launches The Affordable Premium Galaxy A25 5G And A15 5G Phones! |

    Samsung is all set to make your holiday season extra special. Yes, you heard it right: Samsung has officially launched the dynamic duo of Galaxy A15 and the cutting-edge Galaxy A25 5G. This duo is all set to hit the market and become popular among consumers due to its affordability and impressive features. The Galaxy A15 and Galaxy A25 5G are equipped with powerful processors, high-resolution cameras, large-capacity batteries, and many other features. Let’s unveil why you must consider purchasing or gifting a Samsung A series phone this holiday season[1] [2] . 

    An Unprecedented Level of Security with Samsung Knox

    The first concern should be security when purchasing a phone because we live in an era where mobile devices seamlessly integrate into our daily lives. Everything is done on our phones, from making payments to storing sensitive data. Therefore, the importance of enhanced security and privacy intensifies. As gateways to sensitive data and applications, smartphones and tablets demand a solution that goes beyond the ordinary.

    Samsung, being the industry leader, understands its user needs and combines the robust security of Samsung Knox with their Galaxy A25 5G and A15 5G phones. Samsung Knox offers a strong shield for businesses and individuals seeking unparalleled data security.

    How does it Work:

    Knox is a sophisticated, multilayered technology that elevates phone security through a fusion of hardware and software authentication, safeguarding data from potential malicious attacks.

    Samsung Knox shields your data from diverse threats like theft and hacking by adopting a comprehensive approach to secure the mobile device’s operating system. With real-time protection, your device remains safeguarded even after prolonged use without a reboot. It integrates seamlessly with other Samsung security features for Android, creating multiple layers of defense. 

    The Knox Vault Chipset provides the main computing power for Knox Vault. To provide the strongest isolation, the Knox Vault Processor is separated from the primary processor on the SoC. This dissection helps prevent side-channel attacks that depend on malicious software sharing the same execution core as the target software under attack.

    By implementing the instructions and managing data on SRAM, the Knox Vault Chipset also guarantees a physically isolated execution environment. Weaver is used for secure password authentication to Android. While running on the Knox Vault Chipset, Weaver’s data and passwords are encrypted in the secure Knox Vault Storage.

    Capture Every Detail with Stunning Clarity

    The new Remaster feature in the Gallery App of Samsung smartphones provides users with an efficient way to edit photos automatically. By leveraging AI, the app suggests enhancements such as increasing resolution, reducing blurring, and improving color or sharpness.
    Image Clipper is a feature in the Samsung Gallery app that makes extracting the subject from an image a quick, one-step process. It gives you a neat cut out of any subject, like your pet or a gadget, without any hassle.
    Capture cherishable moments using the ‘Single Take’ camera function in the upcoming Galaxy A series models. With one single shot, AI can capture up to 14 types of photos and videos within 3-10 seconds. Suppose you want to capture multiple variations of a cake-cutting moment, it’s possible now with Samsung’s ‘Single Take’ camera feature.

    Additional Power-packed Features


    Samsung Wallet:  With Samsung Wallet, you can manage all of your vital documents, bank account information, credit card information, and passwords, as well as mobile goods like house keys, auto keys, airline tickets, and boarding passes. Furthermore, it lets you ensure that only you can access the stored data by securing everything behind a PIN or personal biometric.

  • ILT20: David Warner will not play in the series against West Indies after his retirement from Test.

    Sports Desk. Australia’s aggressive opening batsman David Warner may withdraw his name for the limited overs series against West Indies (AUS vs WI) in February. Warner wants to increase the chances of his availability for the T20 leagues being held in the country and the world after his retirement from Test cricket in Sydney next week. This left-handed batsman has a contract with Dubai Capitals in ILT20 and this league will run from January 20 to February 18. At the same time, Australia has to play a series of three ODIs and as many T20 International matches against West Indies on home soil from February 2 to 13. Warner is set to play BBL for Sydney Thunder after his last Test against Pakistan (AUS vs PAK Test Series), although there are doubts whether he will play for the final if the Thunder qualify. Will it be available or not?

    Let us tell you that the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Australian Cricketers Association (ACA) indicated on Thursday that he expects Warner to apply for a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to play in the ILT20. Regarding Warner not playing some domestic cricket, the CEO said that probably yes. He said that I know that he is very committed to BBL. There is no doubt that Warner would like to take himself into business in the next phase of life where he will get the best return on his investment. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it, in fact I’m encouraging Warner to do it.

    Greenberg said that Warner will not play in limited overs matches against West Indies for ILT20. There will be times when Warner will want to miss some matches and tours. Some people may not like it, but this is the modern world we live in and we have to accept it. Warner being unavailable for international duty in favor of a domestic T20 deal would be the most significant event of its kind in Australian cricket. But if reports are to be believed, the selectors were in favor of not giving a chance to Warner and other senior players in the limited overs series against West Indies for a long time. However, in view of the T20 World Cup to be held in June next year, Cricket Australia would like to select its strong team for the T20 series against New Zealand starting from February 21.

  • ‘Wish Our Friends Every Success…’: Russian President Putin On Lok Sabha Polls 2024

    Putin also said that Russia is gratified that despite the global turmoil, the relationship between New Delhi and Moscow has been progressing incrementally.

  • Bharat Nyay Yatra: What Congress Aims To Achieve With Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Manipur To Mumbai’ March |

    NEW DELHI: In a strategic move to set the stage for the crucial 2024 Lok Sabha Polls, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is gearing up to embark on the Bharat Nyay Yatra, commencing on January 14 next year. Building on the success of the Bharat Jodo Yatra, which significantly boosted Gandhi’s popularity, the upcoming march aims to address political, economic, and social injustices across the nation.

    Reviving Congress Fortunes: The Success Story Of Bharat Jodo Yatra

    Rahul Gandhi’s previous Bharat Jodo Yatra, spanning 3,570 km from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, witnessed a surge in popularity for the Congress leader. This success translated into electoral victories for the party, notably in Himachal Pradesh and Karnataka. While the Bharat Jodo Yatra focused on economic inequalities, political centralization, and social polarization, its successor, Bharat Nyay Yatra, expands its scope to ensure justice in all spheres.

    Comprehensive Route: From Manipur To Mumbai

    The Bharat Nyay Yatra is set to cover a vast expanse, crisscrossing 90 Parliamentary constituencies across 14 states and 85 districts. Stretching approximately 6,200 km, the march is scheduled to conclude on March 20, with Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge flagging it off from Imphal. The journey will traverse states like Manipur, Nagaland, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, and Maharashtra.

    Congress Adopts A New Approach

    The decision to launch the Bharat Nyay Yatra, coinciding with the Ram Temple inauguration and preceding the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, marks a significant shift in Congress’ political strategy. This rebranded version, replacing Bharat Jodo Yatra, signifies a calculated effort to rekindle the party’s narrative, reconnect with the masses, and redefine Rahul Gandhi’s political persona.

    Countering BJP’s Narrative: Timing And Strategic Maneuvers

    The yatra’s initiation on January 14, symbolically aligned with the Ram Temple inauguration on January 22, reflects Congress’s intent to counteract the BJP’s religious narrative. Unlike its predecessor, Bharat Nyay Yatra will incorporate buses alongside foot marches, expanding its reach and engaging with diverse populations. The strategic rebranding underscores a commitment to social, economic, and political justice, resonating with the theme of ‘nyay’ (justice).

    Congress’s Bid For Rejuvenation

    With recent electoral setbacks haunting the Congress, Bharat Nyay Yatra emerges as a crucial mechanism to revive the party’s organizational structure and uplift the spirits of its cadre. The extensive media coverage anticipated during the yatra positions the Congress to redefine the political discourse leading up to the 2024 elections.

    Reclaiming Lost Political Ground 

    Beyond a mere political journey, Bharat Nyay Yatra embodies Congress’s concerted effort to reclaim lost ground, redefine Rahul Gandhi’s political image, and craft a narrative centered on social justice and grassroots engagement. As the political landscape intensifies in the run-up to the 2024 General Election, the effectiveness of this revamped yatra in reshaping political perceptions remains to be seen.
