India rejected Google Street View proposals

June 9, 2016 by computerera

People living in the US enjoy the Google Street View to get a proper idea of the areas they are roaming. Personally, myself expecting the same feature in India for a long period. Surprisingly the proposal of the Google Street Maps in India is rejected by the Home Ministry of India because of security concerns.

Today, the Indian Home Ministry clearly conveyed the decision to Google. Keeping in the mind 2008 Mumbai attacks, security agencies alerted the Indian Government and forced to disapprove Street View proposals in India.

As per the security agencies argument, the Street View imaginary helps the anti-social elements to plan and execute terroristic attacks across the country. Google showed keen interest to cover most of the Indian territory through it’s Street View. Already Google has captured detailed imaginary of various famous world tourist places in different formats such as 360-degree view, panoramic and street views.

Google also captured imaginary of few Indian tourist places like Taj Mahal, Varanasi River, Red Fort, Qutub Minar, Nalanda University, Mysore Palace, Thanjavur temple, etc. on an experimental basis. But the latest Indian Govt. Decision disappointed Google’s plans to expand its trials across the India.

Google Street View is officially launched in the US way back in 2007, while accessing the Google Maps the areas where the Street view available marked with blue lines.

Rs. 99/- Namotel Achhe Din Smarphone – Here are my doubts

May 19, 2016 by computerera

Since Freedom 251 Launch, few people try to grab the media attention with cheap smartphone ideas. “Namotel Achhe Din” is the latest incident in that category.

Smartphone for Rs. 99/- is highly impossible. The promoter Madhava Reddy knows this. That’s why he specified the original price as Rs. 2,999/- and tricked the customers Rs. 99 as the special introductory price.

Yesterday popular media houses and TV channels in India wrote exclusive articles and specification sheets on their platforms about this Rs. 99 phone. I already fought vigorously on Freedom251 at that time. Coming to this new bogus phone, I decided to be silent. But I got plenty of requests to open up on this latest issue, and that’s why this article is shaped.

I have few doubts about this phone, my questions are..

1. How can the promoter Madhava Reddy offers Rs. 2,999 valued phone for Rs. 99? How he bears the additional financial burden, i.e. Rs. 2,900 for each unit he sells? He didn’t mention any tie-up with bankers and financial institutions or investors support for this. Think how it could be possible?

2. “Pictures shown in the website is for illustration purposes only” – this is the message Namotel website display for “Namotel Achhe Din” model listing? This indicates that they don’t have an idea on the phone prototype they are going to manufacture? Then how can we trust just by seeing the basic specifications?

3. I tried to open the Namotel site today. Whatever the reasons hosting company already suspended the account. You can guess the reliability of the company with this incident.

Namotel-Achhe-Din-suspended

4. They are asking us to register with bemybanker.com prior to phone booking. You need to submit your Aadhaar details and photo for this. In my opinion, no private firm has right to demand identity details and personal information as a photograph for their business.

So please don’t trust such type of false cheap smartphone tactics.

112 India’s common Emergency Number from 1st Jan 2017

May 8, 2016 by computerera

india 912 emergency

Starting from 1st January 2017 just a single number is sufficient for all the emergency needs. i.e. 112. Ravi Shankar Prasad, Central Telecom Minster has approved the proposal of maintaining a single toll-free number for emergencies. We can treat it as the US’s emergency number 911.

Right now, in India, we have to dial 100 to get help from the police, 101 for the Fire Department support and 108 for Ambulance. Remembering various emergency numbers is a tough task for the illiterates.

Once 112 commenced, anybody can benefit from it even though their SIM card was blocked or outgoing facility has been suspended. When you called the 112 number, it will redirect you to the concerned department to get help.

After the 112 number came into action, all the existing emergency numbers will be stopped in coming one year period. During this migration period, cellphone operators have to redirect 100, 101, 102, 108 calls to the newly created 112 number.

Not only the new emergency number, but IT & Telecom ministry is also making it mandatory to equip built-in GPS system for all the phones in India from 1st Jan 2018. The measures that were taken by the Govt. of India definitely will help people in emergency situations.

May 5, 2016 by computerera

govt it report

More than 8000 Indian websites hacked the first three months of 2016 according to the details Communications and IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad furnished to the Parliament today.

Below are the statistics mentioned in his written reply to the Lok Sabha.

Total cyber crimes including fishing malicious code, website intrusion, denial of serive, scanning, etc. occurred in the last four years.

2013 – 41,319 incidents
2014 – 44,679 incidents
2015 – 49,455 cases
2016 (till March) – 14,363 incidents

And statistics for the Indian website hacking incidents are below for the last four years.

2013 – 28,481 websites hacked
2014 – 32,323 sites hacked
2015 – 27,205 sites hacked
2016 (till March) – 8,056 sites hacked.

And the minister has also provided the statistics for the spam emails reported to the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In). Below are the details:

2013 – 54,677 spam emails
2014 – 85,659 spam emails
2015 – 61,628 spam emails
2016 (till March) – 13,851 spam emails.

Here you can read his statement.

“The National Cyber Security Policy is released for public use and implementation by relevant stakeholders. The objective of the policy is to create a framework for comprehensive, collaborative and collective response to deal with the issue of cyber security at all levels within the country,” he said.

Here in India, the vast majority of the cyber crimes will not be reported to any Govt. Agency. Myself, I don’t know where to report on cyber attacks, so we have to consider above statistics as the formality Govt., providing to the general public.

Govt. Should bring full awareness of cyber security and other precautions across the India, people using technology without having sufficient security knowledge. Govt. has to focus on that. Otherwise, unreported cyber crimes will increase at a faster pace.
