FACT CHECK: Several media outlets have been quoting that the #Deepfake #Ai technology is being used by several scammers to impersonate not only faces during video calls but also the voice of victim’s friends or knowns.

A thread on fact check of the claims (reality vs hype) 👇🧵 2/ Yes, DeepFake technology does exist, but kindly understand making a “realistic” deepfake of a given general video would need 30k - 2.5 lakh images of the person.

Some media outlets quote “500 images or 10 secs video is sufficient” which isn’t the case (u can try on your own).

A 12th class student who is excellent in coding and #cybersecurity domain asked, why should he study this level Chemistry even for IT from a good college?

Even a known IIT Professor who supports the JEE exam too much, couldn’t justify it.

It’s just that the system is outdated. Every subject is necessary BUT you will retain only a basic level of those in long UNLESS you keep applying that or that becomes your main field.

Talking about only IT, CSE etc.
For those who want to pursue career in that, they shouldn’t be forced Phy, Chem say after 9th or 10th

A researcher found that Tiktok’s in-app browser (when you open any website in Tiktok app) monitors your keystrokes (all you type) including passwords.
In a way monitoring our inputs on third party websites.

“Those features exist in the the code but Tiktok is not using those” 🤷🏻‍♂️. 2/ I mean why does one need a feature in their app’s code that is not intended to be used.

& even if some third party made that for you, you are responsible for it if its part of your app.

Tiktok seems to be the only app with a code to monitor keystrokes of third party websites

1/ Ok! First thing how can you say that Delhi Police should have recovered the data just within one day?

2/ First of as this person said “even if you format 100 times” wait how would that differ from single time format?

If he meant overwriting random data or zeroes multiple times then i would like to tell that would make difference on old era tapes or drives not on modern drives.

1/ According to a senior official of IFSO, Delhi Police

-> Mohammed Zubair was asked to produce the mobile from which he made that offensive tweet in 2018. Police found that the mobile Zubair gave during interrogation rather had a different IMEI number & is seemingly formatted. 2/ Though if it’s actually a completely formatted phone or some or many files deleted or any other case is a matter of official forensics report of the same (which will take some time).

The mobile from which tweet was made has not been found yet and is still being searched for.

1/ Many persons are asking if FASTag cards can be cloned. Some are saying or concluded “as its passive RFID so can be easily cloned”.

The answer is NO.

People are actually confused in understanding of RFID tags & thinking all RFID tags are of same type.
Thread🧵👇 explaining it 2/ Please understand there are RFID tags that can be very easily cloned, generally cheap models that send a unique response (in fact sometimes purposely such tags are used where one wants the tag to be easily cloneable) but that’s not the thing with expensive RFID tag models.

1/ Deepika Dhull, HR head of Vinspirer has been arrested (police custody granted till 31st aug as of now) for a scam of around 150 crores by Gurugram Police.

Around a month ago court had issued NBW against her (she was main accused).
Their clients as mentioned on their website. 2/ she was using apps like Telegram, Signal (privacy oriented and not co-operating well with authorities in providing required logs) on wi-fi networks of random restaurants, hotels while keeping her phone on aeroplane mode to maintain anonymity. It took lot efforts to track her.
