Phone numbers of half a billion WhatsApp users leaked online in one of the largest data breaches

According to a report by Cybernews, the phone numbers of more than half a billion WhatsApp users have been leaked and put online for sale. The publication claims to have investigated a data sample after discovering a "well-known hacking community forum" post that claimed to be selling a database of 487 million users. To give readers an idea, 487 million makes up a quarter of WhatsApp's two billion monthly active users.

The leaked dataset contains information of users from over 80 countries

The leaked data contains the phone numbers of users, which could be used for scamming people. The database contains the details of 44 million users from Egypt, 35 million users from Italy, 32 million from the USA, 28 million from Saudi Arabia, and about 6 million users from India, among others countries. "The dataset for sale also allegedly has nearly 10 million Russian and over 11 million UK citizens' phone numbers," adds the report.  

The threat actor told the publication that the United States' dataset is being sold for $7,000, and the United Kingdom's dataset is being sold for $2,500. More often than not, such a database is often used by bad actors for vishing attacks. Upon request, the threat actor shared a data sample with the publication, which confirmed that all the phone numbers were true of existing WhatsApp users.  

Users should stay alert against fake messages or calls

This is not the first time a Meta-owned platform has seen a data breach. Before this, the data of millions of Facebook users was being sold in a dark web forum. The Microsoft-owned professional networking platform LinkedIn recently witnessed a massive data breach. Although it is very difficult to check whether a user's data has been leaked, they should avoid responding to calls, messages or emails from strangers, especially those that contain a link, as it could redirect them to a malicious website.

Honda files trademark for new offering - the Motocompacto

Japanese car manufacturer, Honda, has filed a trademark for a tiny electric scooter known as Motorcompacto. The trademark filing has a fair amount of similarities with Honda’s Motocompo, an offering in the 1980s that was designed to fit inside the trunk of a car. As a result of this, the name of the trademark itself is quite similar to the original offering. 

How is the Honda Motocompactor different from the Motocompo?

The Honda Motocompactor is an electric offering that will bear resemblance to the Honda Motocompo. It will be a foldable bike that can be placed in the trunk of the car and used during travels. It can also be used as if by those looking for electric bike offerings. This is not the first time that speculations about an e-bike based on the Motocompo have arisen. Honda filed a similar trademark in 2020. It was described as an offering similar to the Motocompo. 

Now, another trademark for the Motocompacto has been filed at the Canadian Intellectual Property Office. In fact, there are now two separate filings in the Canadian case. The second filing is spelled as Moto Compacto. The description in this filing is that the product is related to Goods Land vehicles, namely self-balancing electric scooters; electrically-powered motor scooters. The application in Canada also has a logo design for the trademark featuring a compact scooter.

It is also believed that the new Honda Motorcompactor will be smaller than the predecessor as it won’t have a gas tank. There are likely to be other innovations too, keeping up with current trends. 

Honda plans to launch 10 new electric scooter offerings by 2025.

The update comes with some bug fixes and improvements over the previous version. However, its highlight seems to be better support for Apple AirPods. The size of the update is about 80MB. Here is what's new in the Nothing OS 1.1.7. 

How to update Nothing Phone (1) to Nothing OS 1.1.7?

Checking in a Phone (1) unit available, the Nothing OS 1.1.7 update was available. As mentioned earlier, the new feature released with this update is the "battery percentage display for AirPods." Although the ability comes as an experimental feature, it works fine. To install the latest Nothing OS update, head to the Settings menu, scroll down, select System, and tap on System Update. There, tap on the 'Download and Install' button towards the bottom right corner. 

What’s new in Nothing OS 1.1.7?

Now, let's talk about the Nothing OS 1.1.7 update improvements. First, the company has equipped the update with an October/November security patch. Then it improves OS fluidity and reduces system stutters. Another point mentioned in the update notes says that it adjusts the "thermal threshold to better balance performance and temperature." 

Users who complain about poor microphone quality while recording videos should update their Nothing Phone (1) immediately, as the latest system update comes with improved audio quality. Last but not least, the new version shows more accurate battery status. Talking about the bug fixes in the update: it resolves "an issue causing WhatsApp notifications to be unresponsive" on the lock screen. 

Carl Pei, the founder of the London-based consumer tech company, teased the Nothing OS 1.5.0, based on Android 13, a couple of days ago. However, Pei did not say when the update would be available for the Nothing Phone (1) users. Previously, Pei said that Nothing would focus on providing a quality experience, indicating that the company might not be among the first to provide Android 13. Nevertheless, the image shared by Pei suggests that the latest Nothing OS built is in the works, and users should expect the update to be available soon.

GTA 6 to launch in 2024 Microsoft seems to think so

The hype for GTA 6 has been at a boiling point. The much-awaited sequel to the 2013 GTA 5 has been in ‘development’ for almost 10 years now. Fans have been eagerly waiting for any sort of news about the game but alas, there has been almost nothing out of Rockstar, in terms of marketing or media. But, in a strange turn of events, Microsoft seems to think that GTA 6 will hit shelves in 2024. In a response to the  UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) with regards to the Activision-Blizzard merger, Microsoft stated that it thinks that GTA 6 will launch in 2024. Microsoft also referenced a Tech Radar article from July 2022 which itself liked the original Bloomberg article from the same time. 

GTA 6 to launch in 2024?

The answer was given as a response to downplay the significance of Call of Duty by comparing it to another blockbuster franchise. Microsoft stated that companies like Rockstar, Epic Games and more have a large share of the market which is why its acquisition of Activision-Blizzard could not be seen as a monopoly on the industry. While that is debatable, it's clear that the merger will be one of the biggest in history, if it does go down without any issues. Rockstar, on the other hand, has been dealing with its own set of problems owing to the GTA 6 leaks back in September. The leaked GTA 6 video on YouTube was about 52 minutes long and there were around 90 leaked clips of the new GTA game. In the GTA Forums where the leak was shared, the leaker says, "Here are 90 footage/clips from GTA 6. It's possible I could leak more data soon, GTA 5 and 6 source code and assets, GTA 6 testing build.” 

There has been no official announcement from Rockstar or the parent company Take-Two interactive regarding GTA 6.
