Heres how to get the BY15 - Sight Unseen skin for free in Call of Duty: Mobile

Call of Duty: Mobile has crossed the one million subscriber mark. To celebrate the occasion, Activision has announced that it will be giving away the BY15 - Sight Unseen shotgun for free. However, unlike most other giveaways, the skin will not be sent directly to players. Instead, players will have to redeem it in order to get it.

How to redeem the BY15 - Sight Unseen weapon skin in Call of Duty: Mobile

The first thing players will have to do is copy their in-game UID code. This can be found on your profile page, under the second tab. The code is quite long and thankfully, there is a handy little ‘copy’ button right next to it.

Now, head over to https://ift.tt/3m9y3Ep and put in your UID in the respective field. In the ‘Redeem Code’ field, put in the following code: BKHDZBZ7U5. In the verification code field, put in the right code in order to prove that you aren’t a bot. Now click the submit button.

Once that is done, there will be a pop up wherein you will be able to confirm your details. The code will only work till April 1.

Now, head back to your in-game inbox. You should have received a mail that will let you redeem the weapon skin. The skin for the By15 shotgun can be applied via the Gunsmith section.

The Season 2, Day of Reckoning update for Call of Duty: Mobile is still going strong. A few days ago, the developers gave players the chance to earn the new SP-R 208 marksman rifle via the Elite Marksman Seasonal Challenge. You can learn more about that here.

The SP-R 208 is the second weapon introduced in Call of Duty: Mobile season 2. The AS VAL was introduced at the start and is available to all players who reached Tier 21 in the free Battle Pass.

MobiKwik user data leaked, nearly 35 million users KYC details up for sale

Payments apps have become extremely popular in India with millions of daily active users logging in to send and receive money online. It goes without saying that the users will have to tread cautiously while using these apps, but the service providers should also be vigilant when it comes to security.

The latest news coming out of Twitter suggests that MobiKwik has been hit with a security breach, exposing millions of user's data. According to the popular security researcher who goes by the name of Elliot Alderson on Twitter, the data breach has leaked sensitive information which is a part of their KYC details. We are looking at details like Aadhar card, phone number, address, and other personal information.

Probably the largest KYC data leak in history. Congrats Mobikwik... pic.twitter.com/qQFgIKloA8

— Elliot Alderson (@fs0c131y) March 29, 2021

The data leak is said to have exposed the data of nearly 3.5 million users. We are looking at around 8.2TB worth of data which is said to include 36,099,759 files, 99,224,559 user phone numbers, hashed passwords, and more. The hacker has reportedly set up a dark web portal in which the users can search for phone numbers and email IDs to get the details.

MobiKwik user data and KYC details leaked online

As serious as this data leak sounds, MobiKwik says they have encountered nothing of this sort. The company has denied the breach and said the security researcher is trying to malign their brand reputation for "ulterior motives".

This, by the way, doesn't appear to be the first time MobiKwik has faced a data breach. Some similar reports came out earlier this year too when an Indian security researcher claimed that MobiKwik is trying to hide the data leak. And the fact that MobiKwik is denying the data breach again, doesn't seem to sit well with its users, with a lot of them raising questions.

A media-crazed so-called security researcher has repeatedly over the last week presented concocted files wasting precious time of our organization while desperately trying to grab media attention.We thoroughly investigated his allegations and did not find any security lapses. 1/n

In response to the allegations, here's what MobiKwik said - "A media-crazed so-called security researcher has repeatedly over the last week presented concocted files wasting precious time of our organization while desperately trying to grab media attention. We thoroughly investigated his allegations and did not find any security lapses." The company also added that it will be pursuing strict action against the researcher who brought this to light.
