Facebook have your calllogs and SMS logs


Facebook Biggest Dis-closer

Image result for facebook data leak


Facebook has been collecting call records and SMS data from Android devices for years. Several Twitter users have reported finding months or years of call history data in their downloadable Facebook data file.

A number of Facebook users have been spooked by the recent Cambridge Analytica privacy scandal, prompting them to download all the data that Facebook stores on their account. The results have been alarming for some.

A Facebook user was startled to find that the social network had been keeping records of his phone calls and texts. A report from Ars Technica corroborated his findings.

In response, Facebook says that it's an opt-in feature on Messenger for Android, as well as the low-data Facebook Lite - and that it's about making the social network better.

Also of note is that Apple's iOS, the operating system on the iPhone and iPad, doesn't allow that kind of access to call and text data at all without very specific permission. That means Apple fans don't have to worry as much about Facebook having call or text records. 

However, there's reason to believe that the main Facebook app could have been quietly collecting this data too, until Google made some changes to Android in October 2017.

Google 72 qubit quantum computer

Google 72 qubit quantum computing Bristlecone,a very first quantum processor chip which will become mainstream tech in futures technology. The researcher of Google is testing 72 qubit(quantum bit) chip in computer. 72 qubit architecture that allows 72 quantum bits on a single array and overlapping multiple a qubit chip, it can optimize upto lowest possible error rate using a special process well known as  Quantum Error Correction .  The quantum computer performs is impossibly high at lower power rate as compare to traditional computers. The electronic speed of traditional computers are relative to  Speed Of Light , whereas the electronic speed of quantum computers will be at the   Speed Of Light .  A stander bit can be either 0 or 1 whereas, a qubit can be 0, 1 or a mashup of the two.  Bristlecone is under research of Google whose main aim is to generalize the Quantum computing at public level and soon it is going to bring a new era o...

What's New in Android Pie 9.0

Android Pie 9.0 is one of the greatest and efficient OS launched by Google. This time it is mainly focus on the battery and performance. I have listed some of the features that i thought will be useful by the user. Adaptive Battery & Brightness Using AI, The Pie will automatically adapts your habits and surrounding environment & saves the battery by automatically. During day time the brightness will adjust itself and so at night. The Android will track your habits and customizes/restricts the background running application to adapt it.This will boost up the batter life and efficiency . Quick Actions & gestures  In place of buttons at the bottom, a signal home button is given for navigation. when we swipe it than we can see our recent apps and it will appear in card format similar to Iphone X feature. To go back simply swipe Left-to-Right similar to IPhone features. There are some customization in the in the scroll bar menu. it is more lik...

Facebook user data leaked

 Facebook user data leaked A company named  Cambridge Analytica had leaked the data of 50 millions Facebook users. Cambridge Analytica (CA) is a British political consulting firm which combines data mining, data brokerage, and data analysis with strategic communication for the electoral process. The algorithm used in the Facebook data breach trawled though personal data for information on sexual orientation, race, gender – and even intelligence and childhood trauma The algorithm at the heart of the Facebook data breach sounds almost too dystopian to be real. It trawls through the most apparently trivial, throwaway postings –the “likes” users dole out as they browse the site – to gather sensitive personal information about sexual orientation, race, gender, even intelligence and childhood trauma. The data analytics firm that worked with Donald Trump’s election team and the winning Brexit campaign harvested millions of Facebook profiles of US voters, in one of...
