How to Remove Your Number From Truecaller 

True Caller is the most popular app when it comes to search anonymous number or getting details from any mobile number. The procedure by which True Caller provides details of the number is very simple, it just crowd-sources contact details from its all users, hence making it easier for you to find the details of number. However, sometimes you are not able to get any details of the number, one reason is that the number which you are trying to search is isn’t saved in any truecaller user’s device.

Facebook Reveals How many Minutes You Spend Watching Videos everyday
InShortViral: Facebook has revealed that how many minutes users are spending to watch videos on its platform everyday.

The Social Networking Giant “Facebook” finally revealed that how many minutes you spend watching videos everyday on Facebook. Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg announced on Wednesday that every day Facebook users watch 100 Million hours of video on Facebook. Facebook’s COO, Sheryl Sandberg later said that about 500 million people watch video on Facebook daily.

Facebook Reveals How many Minutes You Spend Watching Videos everyday

We can also say that Facebook Users are watching nearly 12 minutes of Video everyday on Facebook. On Wednesday, Facebook Spokesperson revealed that these numbers are based on plays from Facebook’s own Video Player. However, these numbers also represent people who watch videos over different sites like YouTube which are not included in their news feeds.
It seems that the minutes spent by Facebook users for watching videos is quite more, users spend about 12 minutes in watching videos on Facebook while as users spend nearly 40 minutes in watching videos on YouTube via Mobile Devices in average. However, you all might have noticed when you browse Facebook via Computer Browser or Mobile Apps, videos on Facebook automatically start playing. It seems that Facebook might have added these number too, that’s why the number is quite lot.
On Wednesday announcement by Zuckerberg for his plans on creating separate place for Facebook Videos’s because it has plans to make videos important part on its site and also to compete with its rival YouTube. On the other hand, Facebook has to maintain issues regarding copyright, because people are seeing downloading viral YouTube videos and uploading them on Facebook.
Facebook has failed to refrain users from plagiarism. Facebook has been badly criticized by Web’s Biggest Content Creators. They also slammed Facebook’s Algorithm which is giving importance to only Facebook Videos over shares from YouTube and other video sites. However, no information was provided by Facebook regarding the Facebook’s videos for Copyright violations.
So, this was all about the rapid growth of Facebook’s Video Player. However, Facebook is not doing enough to protect copyrighted videos. People are seen uploading viral copyrighted videos on Facebook without any issue. Facebook must take measures in order to protect video copyrights.

Samsung’s New Browser Gets AD Blocking Support

Samsung's New Browser Gets AD Blocking Support
InShortViral: Samsung has enabled ad blocking support in its browser running on lollipop and later versions.

The Smartphone’s giant Samsung is holding its stand against the ads on the Internet. However, this tool is pre-installed on every Samsung browser which is running on Android Lollipop and so on. It has enabled support for content and ad blocking plugins in its browser.

Samsung’s New Browser Gets AD Blocking Support

This Ad blocking Technique by Samsung is similar to Apple’s Safari Browser in iOS 9. It will help users to install apps that blocks ads from the websites they visit. A content blocker named AdBlock Fast is available for Samsung’s Internet Web Browser. This plugin has over 2,00,000 users and is available on iOS, Opera and Chrome Browsers.
Content Blockers on Smartphones gave rise to many controversies when iOS 9 was released last year. Samsung is not the first Android smartphone to enable ad blocking feature for its users, however Asus announced last month that their smartphones sold this year will have ad-blocking feature by default.
Ad-Blocking plugins resulted in many controversies. It is admitted that they help to reduce data and webpage loading time, however they are affecting Website Publisher’s revenue.
It is not simple to block ads and content on Android just like installing a browser plugin. Google Chrome which is pre-installed on Android Devices and Samsung Internet currently don’t support blockers. Brave, which is a web browser and they claimed that they have pre-installed ad blocking features but it is not popular as Chrome. As we see many people are blocking ads via many plugins on computer browsers but it is not common in Mobile Browsers.
So, this was all about the Samsung’s ad blocking feature in its browser. We might have seen when we try to install any ad blocking extension in Chrome, it blocks ads on websites and YouTube but however sometimes it installs some plugins that display unnecessary ads to the users, like popups and other hectic ads. Some Ad-blockers block ads on Webpages but sometimes they show their own ads. If we desire to remove these crappy ads, it is very difficult to remove them. We hope that you loved this article, do share it with your friends. Leave your opinions about Ad Blocking in comment section, we will discuss more about it there.

Sanmay Ved had owned the Google.com for few minutes in October 2015. He was later rewarded by Google. However, he didn’t disclosed the exact amount that the Google offered to him.

Google's Security Rewards
In Google’s Security Awards 2015 Year in Review post, it mentioned that it first rewarded him with $6,006.13. When the Google came to know that Ved is not interested in keeping the money and would donate it to charity, it gave him twice the amount that he was earlier offered.

Google’s Security Executive, Eduardo Vela Nava wrote in blog that “You may have read about Sanmay Ved, a researcher from who was able to buy google.com for one minute on Google Domains. Our initial financial reward to Sanmay—$ 6,006.13—spelled-out Google, numerically (squint a little and you’ll see it!). We then doubled this amount when Sanmay donated his reward to charity”.
Sanmay Ved purchased Google.com for 12$ and was able to control it for several minutes before Google noticed about the accidental sale of their domain, so after several minutes they cancelled the sale of the domain and he was later refunded $12 that he paid to buy Google.com domain.
In the blog post, Google claims that in the year 2015, it gave more than $2 Million as reward to nearly 300 recipients who took part in its Security Reward Program. The company also gave awards to nearly 700 people. Google further said that the developers and researchers from Great Britain, Poland, Germany, Romania, Israel, US, China, Russia, India to name a few countries were rewarded. Google further said that it had paid nearly $6 Million in awards since the Vulnerability Reward Program’s launch in 2010.
Last year, Google also included Android to its Security Reward Program. The Google’s Security Researcher also added that “We launched our Android VRP in June, and by the end of 2015, we had paid more than $200,000 to researchers for their work, including our largest single payment of $37,500 to an Android security researcher”.
So this is all about they guy who managed to buy world’s number 1 website for few minutes. After that Google realized their flaw, and cancelled his order. We hope that you loved this article, feel free to share this with your friends.

Hackers Developing Skills While Hacking Politicians And Big Companies

Hackers Developing Skills While Hacking Politicians And Big Companies

A group of Russian-speaking hackers that has targeted politicians, state entities, and companies over the past eight years is continuing to develop its skills, according to an analysis by security researchers.


According to observations of “Kaspersky Lab”, the Russian-language Sofacy not scaling down its activities, despite the fact that in 2014 received wide publicity. On the contrary, the group is expanding arsenal of new and more sophisticated techniques to successfully carry out the infection and better conceal his traces in the system.


The group, also known under the names of Fancy Bear, Sednit, STRONTIUM and APT28, has been operating since at least 2008. Its purpose are mainly military enterprises and government agencies around the world.

New tools Sofacy, found experts “Kaspersky Lab”, have the property of interchangeability. This means that the victim’s computer becomes infected with several malwares, one can recover the rest if they block or remove protection system. Grouping Sofacy earlier sought to increase the stability of malware installing two backdoor, so that in the event of one of these attackers still remains access to the system. But now Sofacy acts more sophisticated – with a separate module from the command server downloads a new version of a locked backdoor that allows you not to start the process of re-infection of the system, and to continue it with the place where the malware was blocked.

Another new method which, according to observations of “Kaspersky Lab”, is increasingly using Sofacy, – this division of malicious software into modules with functions more reliably conceals their activity in the attacked system.


In addition, Sofacy improving ways of stealing data from computers that are not connected to the Internet. Attackers create new versions of modules that allow in stealth mode to copy data from USB-devices, which were previously used on computers that are denied access to the network.
