The Pegasus Spyware, which is sold by the NSO Group of Israel, may have been used to snoop on 300 Indians including two Cabinet ministers at the Centre. The spyware was also used to spy on three opposition leaders, a Constitutional authority, government officials, scientists and about 40 journalists, according to The Washington Post and Amnesty International that was part of a 17-member group of news organisations that worked on the ‘Pegasus Project’. The list also included businessmen, activists, and those from the legal fraternity. A number registered in the name of a Supreme Court judge was also found in the database. It is unclear whether the judge was using the same number to communicate on WhatsApp and other messaging services. © Reuters The leaked database also included writers and correspondents working at the Hindustan Times, The Hindu, India Today, Indian Express and Network18. Details of journalists like Shishir Gupta, Siddharth Vardarajan, M.K. Venu, Sushant Singh, Rohini Singh, Muzamil Jaleel, Ritika Chopra and Swati Chaturvedi were also found in the list. What’s weird is that the NSO Group says it only sells the Pegasus Spyware to “vetted” governments. This indicates that Pegasus was either used by a foreign government which could be a severe security breach or the Indian Government has been using the spyware to spy on its own citizens. It is reported that the NGO group has “60 government customers in 40 countries.” How Does Pegasus Work? © Amnesty-International Earlier versions of the Pegasus Project utilised a tactic called ‘spear phishing’ where the user of the spyware would send the targeted device an SMS or email with a link. Once the recipient would click on the link, it would download the spyware on the device and start transmitting information to the attacker. However, Pegasus has now evolved and can now execute something called a ‘zero-click' attack. This means the spyware can infiltrate a device without any action from the target. WhatsApp revealed in 2019 that the Pegasus spyware can find its way into a device via a WhatsApp call and works even if the user did not answer the call. According to The Guardian, the Pegasus Project has now “begun exploiting vulnerabilities in Apple’s iMessage software, giving it backdoor access to hundreds of millions of iPhones.” WhatsApp has sued the NSO Group in the US for hacking into its service, Apple says “it is continually updating its software to prevent such attacks.” What is Pegasus Capable Of? © Reuters Once the Pegasus spyware has been planted on a device, it has the ability to see SMS, emails, photos and videos, and access contact lists and call records. It can also track the GPS location of the target and can be used to activate the camera and the microphone which essentially turns the targeted device into a surveillance tool. What’s even more concerning is that Pegasus is impossible to detect. The Guardian says, “more recent versions of Pegasus only ever inhabit the phone’s temporary memory, rather than its hard drive, meaning that once the phone is powered down virtually all trace of the software vanishes.” Source: The Washington Post View the full article

If you’re a foodie, you would know that no cuisine blends multiple spices as nicely as Indian food. Some people want to present Indian food globally as Indian cuisine has a blend of many flavours that can hardly go wrong. And Depinder Chhibber from MasterChef Australia has been doing just that with her Indian recipes. View this post on Instagram In its latest season, the contestant made a wholesome meal that included chickpea curry, cauliflower parantha, her grandmother's version of pickle, kadhai paneer, stir-fried rice, and fried okra chips. She was nervous as she sampled her food in front of them but the judges were super impressed by her culinary skills. She also told that she wants to take the Indian food on a global platform and this is what every household in her homeland cooks back at their homes. She said she does wish to own an Indian restaurant in the future. Here’s the video: View this post on Instagram After the video started to go viral, people appreciated her for sticking to her roots and making India proud. © Masterchef Australia Instagram © Masterchef Australia Instagram © Masterchef Australia Instagram In an interview with an Australian news portal, she told what inspired her to participate in the show. She said, “Since we moved to Australia I hardly watched local TV except for the news. I always watched food shows even as a kid in India, with Chef Sanjeev Kapoor being my favourite. When we moved to Australia I grew up watching MasterChef. I was obsessed with the show as a viewer and knew all the dishes.” View this post on Instagram She went on to add, “For me, MasterChef is the benchmark of cooking in Australia. If I had to ever enter a contest it had to be MasterChef. But to be honest, I went on MasterChef because probably I’m the biggest fan out there! I look up to the contestants and if I ever ran into them, I would get very excited and get them to sign my cookbook. For me, anyone who went on MasterChef was equivalent to a Bollywood celebrity.” We too are proud of you, Depinder Chhibber! View the full article

India's current Covid-19 scenario is not very dissimilar to any movie surrounding events of an apocalypse. Talk to your friends, relatives, or people anywhere across the country, and most would tell you that they might actually be having trouble sleeping at night. Such has been the travesty of the enormous second wave of Coronavirus infections. © Twitter Delhi government to convert 100 rooms of Ashoka Hotel for setting up of a Covid Health facility for Justices and other judicial officers of the Delhi High Court and their families. pic.twitter.com/6O4qnGu9Km — ANI (@ANI) April 26, 2021 The order, under which the facility will be linked to Primus Hospital in Chanakyapuri, was passed by the Chanakyapuri Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Geeta Grover, on Sunday (April 26). “A request has been received from Delhi High Court for setting up of CHC facility for the Hon’ble Justices and other judicial officers of Delhi High Court and their families." "Now, therefore, I, Geeta Grover… in exercise of powers…and in overall imminent public interest, do hereby require the 100 rooms of Ashoka Hotel, New Delhi for setting up of Covid Health facility for the use of Hon’ble Justices and other judicial officers of Delhi High Court and their families and place at the disposal of Primus Hospital, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi with immediate effect…” the order said, as per a report in The Indian Express. Grover, while speaking to The Indian Express, later confirmed the same, and said that the facility will become operational at the end of the week. “It will take at least till the end of the week for the facility to become operational. It will be only for judges, HC staff, and their families, as is mentioned in the order,” said Grover. New Delhi has been one of the worst-hit cities in the country, with the national capital recording around 20,201 cases on Monday, marking a positivity rate of 35 percent along with around 380 deaths.
