Personal Information of 500 Million WhatsApp Users Has Been Stolen

WhatsApp is one of the most popular applications in the world. Every day, billions of people communicate through this application. But popularity brings with it some security problems. A new report suggests that someone has hacked WhatsApp and stolen the personal information of around 500 million users.

Ads are coming to WhatsApp eventually - Gizmochina

The personal information of 500 million WhatsApp users is up for sale

According to the latest report from Cybernews, an actor posted an ad in a hacking community forum to sell the data of over 487 million WhatsApp users, including their mobile numbers. The listing also claims that data consists of users from 84 different countries and includes user data of 32 million users from the USA. The list of compromised information also contains user data from countries like Egypt, Italy, Saudi Arabia, France, and Turkey. 

Hackers even created a price list for the personal information in question. For example, the WhatsApp user database in the US sells for $7,000. The UK’s database is $2,500, and Germany’s is $2,000. Unfortunately, leaked phone numbers can be used for many different scams. Relatively older users, in particular, are at great risk.

Meta, the umbrella company of WhatsApp, has not yet made a statement. Everyone is wondering, “how did hackers get this information?”. The application is protected by end-to-end encryption and stands out with its security. However, the incident led to the thought that WhatsApp is not secure.

Also, it is currently speculated that the WhatsApp data of around 500 million has been obtained using web scraping or web harvesting, where an automated data tool is used to collect data from a specific service, which violates WhatsApp’s terms of service. Unfortunately, we can’t share definitive information until an official statement from the company is received.

Last year in December, Xiaomi unveiled the Xiaomi 12X, Xiaomi 12, and Xiaomi 12 Pro. It appears that there won’t be any successor for the Xiaomi 12X this year. The upcoming flagship lineup will include two models, namely the Xiaomi 13 and the Xiaomi 13 Pro.

Shown below is a leaked render of the Xiaomi 13. The image gives a good look at the design and color variants of the phone. Since the Xiaomi 13 Pro will be a larger version of the Xiaomi 13, both phones are expected to sport an identical design.

The company has confirmed that the Xiaomi 13 series will sport super-slim bezels. The size of the bottom bezel is only 1.61mm, which indicates that it could be as thin as the upper bezel. Unfortunately, the authenticity of the above renders could not be confirmed.

The Xiaomi 13 and Xiaomi 13 Pro will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform. It is unclear whether the Xiaomi 13 series will come preloaded with the latest MIUI 14. If not, it will be one of the first phones to get the MIUI 14 upgrade.

At present, there is no information on the specifications of the Xiaomi Buds 4 and Xiaomi Watch S2.

Leaked Huawei Watch Buds Packaging & Live Images Reveal an Earbuds Compartment

A leaked retail packaging of the Huawei Watch Buds shows that the smartwatch comes with removable earbuds. If confirmed, the presence of built-in earbuds in the Huawei Watch Buds could mark a significant milestone. This comes on the heels of the recent release of the Huawei Watch GT Cyber.

Huawei has released several smartwatches in 2022, the latest being the Watch GT Cyber with a modular design. Although there has been no official confirmation about the Watch Buds, the new smartwatch could be unique. Its name also points to the possible presence of earbuds in its architecture.

Huawei Watch Buds

After its April listing by the European Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), the Watch Buds has been off the front burner of speculations until now. A photo of the Watch Buds has surfaced on multiple social media platforms. The image bears some striking semblance to the Watch GT 3 and the hinged display supports the placement or removal of a pair of earbuds.

Huawei Watch Buds

The Huawei Watch Buds could be the first smartwatch to feature built-in earbuds, but a few companies have attempted the idea previously. Some of the knotty considerations for such hybrid products are the optimum form factor and battery size. There is also the issue of the space needed to store the earbuds. It is unclear what Huawei might have done to overcome the battery size issue. There are also no indications yet on the launch date of the Watch Buds.
