PUBG Mobile is not just about a hundred people fighting it out, keeping cheaters out is also a big fight for the developer in its goal to keep a fair and competitive environment in the game. The game released a behind-the-scene look at how they have been fighting cheaters using the Project: Ban Pan security system that results in the ban of about 8,000 accounts every day. Project: Ban Pan was showcased during the PUBG Mobile Club Open 2019 Fall Split Global Finals in December 2019 enforcing a zero-tolerance policy for cheating. The video is based on a real case of a cheater who got banned for ten years. Check it out below - PUBG Mobile also added a few new features to keep the game free of cheaters. Death Replay is one such feature available in the latest 0.17.0 update of the game. The update will be rolled out on March 3, and will let players see how they died in the game from the perspective of the opponent.

There’s never a dull moment for the people at OnePlus. Just as the hype around the OnePlus Concept One was starting to simmer down, OnePlus UK’s twitter handle has announced the existence of another new product. A short video on the Twitter page lists March 3 2020 as the reveal date. The video shows a collection of pipes and metallic structures, without giving a clear idea of what the device could be. According to OnePlus UK’s tweet, this is not a smartphone or even a commercial product for that matter, leading us to believe that OnePlus may be gearing up to reveal another concept project to the world. Analysing the video, there seems to be a myriad of suggestions in there. At initial glance, the metallic parts seem to resemble the inside of a watch, but then we see a pipe-like structure that’s more commonly associated with the type of lens known as the probe lens. Briefly, we also see the number 6 machined into the side of one of the panels. Needless to say, the video is not giving...

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) was the industry’s answer to curbing illegitimate access for online accounts. This was especially the case to prevent bank accounts from being hacked and was eventually utilized by companies like Google, Facebook, Apple etc. Now a new security threat claims to be able to steal 2FA codes from the Google Authenticator. According to Threatfabric, new Android malware is capable of stealing 2FA codes from Google’s app. Typically apps like Google’s 2FA or even Microsoft’s App for that matter are considered safer than the SMS method of receiving 2FA codes. This was because SMS isn’t transmitted over a secure protocol and can be intercepted. Then there’s the additional threat of SIM cloning that has led to multiple counts of banking fraud in the past. Now, it would appear that Google’s 2FA app has also been proven to be vulnerable. According to Threatfabric, the malware is not yet being distributed or advertised on underground forums, suggesting that the hack ...

Instagram, ever since its acquisition by Facebook, has slowly been expanding on its image as a social media platform. In its latest bid to increase the ways in which users can access the platform, Instagram has now finally brought direct messaging to Windows 10. Instagram has updated its app on the Windows Store which now allows users to access their direct messages on their Windows 10 PCs.

Sony has been silent about its upcoming PS5 for far too long. The last time the Japanese tech giant spoke about the console was at CES 2020 where we got a look at the official PS5 logo. Since then the only thing we know for sure is that Sony will not be present at E3 2020 and has also withdrawn from PAX and GDC 2020 due to the Coronavirus. GameStop seems to be looking to fill the void of PS5 news and has a listing page for the PS5 that reveals some details about the upcoming console. The page does not have any new information and only reiterates what we already know about the console.  The page talks about the fact that the console can play physical discs, something we are aware of. It also talks about the new features of the PS5 controller including the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, again features we have been aware of for months now. The listing also says that the console will have “full 8K TV support, Bespoke 8-core AMD chipset, 3D Audio, built-for-purpose SSD storage,...

Huawei’s ongoing tussle with the U.S government has been ongoing for a while now. Because of a trade ban imposed on the Chinese company, Huawei had to lose out on offering Google services and apps in its new smartphones. A new report now states Google is keen to starting working with Huawei again and wants its apps back on Huawei devices. Google has reportedly applied for a license to bundle Google apps in Huawei devices and effectively resume business with the Chinese tech giant. Just a few days earlier, Google had warned Huawei users not to side load Google apps for security reasons. Google play and Android Vice President, Sameer Samat told German news outlet DPA that Google has applied for a license but could not comment on when a decision based on the application will be made. Last year, Microsoft was granted a similar license to do business with Huawei and continue having Windows OS in Huawei laptops like MateBook 13. Google can technically argue with the same logic Microsoft a...

WhatsApp is set to receive the much-awaited dark mode not just on mobile platforms but also on desktop platforms. According to a recent report by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp Web and WhatsApp for PC/Mac are currently being tested with a dark theme that paints the main screen and side panel in varying shades of dark grey.
