Realme XT with 64MP quad camera setup shown off in official renders

Realme recently launched its mid-range Realme 5 series of smartphones in India. At the tail end of the launch, the company said that it will announce a new 64MP camera smartphone in the country by the end of September or early October. Now, the company’s CMO, Xu Qi Chase has revealed the handset’s design in an image ahead of the official unveiling in a Weibo post. The image shows off the upcoming 64MP camera phone by the company and it is clear that the handset will feature a quad-camera setup on the back, and in a Silver White colour variant. 

The cameras are vertically stacked on the upper left corner of the Realme XT’s rear panel. The Realme logo is also present on the lower-left corner. The back panel sports a gradient design, which seems to be reflecting different colours when glanced at from an angle. One thing to note is that there’s no fingerprint sensor on the phone’s back, which suggests that there could be an in-display fingerprint sensor. It means that the handset could come equipped with an AMOLED display panel. The 64MP sensor on the Realme XT is Samsung’s latest ISOCELL Bright GW1 sensor that works alongside an ultra-wide-angle camera, a depth sensor and a macro shooter.

Speaking of 64MP cameras, Redmi is also gearing up to launch its Redmi Note 8 series of handsets. The lineup will feature the Redmi Note 8 and the Redmi Note 8 Pro and the latter is confirmed to come equipped with a 64MP camera. Just recently, a report about the Redmi Note 8 Pro suggests the handset’s possible pricing in China. A leakster claims that the Redmi Note 8 Pro could be priced starting at RMB 1799 (Rs 18,000 approx), while the Redmi Note 8 might be priced starting at RMB 1199 (Rs 12,000 approx).

Indian techie awarded 10,000 for discovering a flaw in Instagram

Facebook has awarded an Indian techie $10,000 for spotting a flaw in the app. Interestingly, he was awarded $30,000 by Facebook for finding a bug in the mobile recovery flow of the Facebook-owned photo and video sharing app. Chennai-based security researcher Laxman Muthiyah said he again discovered a new account takeover vulnerability in Instagram. The new vulnerability is similar to the one he reported in July and allowed anyone to hack Instagram accounts without consent permission.

Facebook says it has fixed the spotted vulnerability. "Facebook and Instagram security team fixed the issue and rewarded me $10000 as a part of their bounty programme," Muthiyah said in a blog post. 

The vulnerability could allow hackers to use the same device ID - the unique identifier used by Instagram server to validate password reset codes - to request multiple passcodes of different users.

In reply, Facebook said in a letter to Muthiyah, "You identified insufficient protections on a recovery endpoint, allowing an attacker to generate numerous valid nonces to ten attempt recovery.”

Last month, he found a bug that allowed hackers to hack in three simple steps:

Triggering a password reset. Requesting a recovery code. Quickly trying out every possible recovery code against the account.

While looking for an account takeover vulnerability, the techie turned his attention to the Instagram forgot password endpoint. Last month he claimed that he had sent thousands of requests to check whether Instagram’s systems are validating and rate limiting the requests properly. He found he was able to send requests continuously without getting blocked. In order to be able to change the password, he needed the code (which was sent to the account user’s registered mobile number). So there was only one, hit-and-trial, method that could have provided him with success. 

This is not the second time Muthiyah has found a flaw in a Facebook app. In the past, he uncovered a data deletion flaw and a data disclosure bug on Facebook as well.
