“Accepting that individuals would invest more energy via online media during the lockdown, digital lawbreakers moved their exercises more via web-based media.”

Dr. Balsing Rajput, Administrator of Police, Maharashtra Digital Cell, uncovers to Prasanna D Zore/Rediff.com the most recent techniques utilized by digital lawbreakers to cheat You.

A Chevening Network safety Individual with a doctorate in way of thinking from the Goodbye Foundation of Sociologies, the mild-mannered Indian Police Administration official has been at the bleeding edge of taking care of digital protection in Maharashtra since Walk 2016.

The first of a two-section meet:

How have the digital lawbreakers changed their exercises to exploit the public lockdown? What are the recent fads arising in digital wrongdoing?

There are a couple of changes in the usual methodology of digital hoodlums after the lockdown.

Accepting that individuals would invest more energy via online media during the lockdown, digital lawbreakers moved their exercises more via web-based media.

They especially began spreading messages like ‘get free portable re-energized, ‘get Rs 2,000 credited to your financial balances, and so on

Also, they are provoking individuals to snap such connections so they could gather more information by coordinating individuals towards counterfeit Sites. So this is the principal pattern.

Second, sending counterfeit news and reports has seen spikes since the lockdown.

Third, there has been an expansion in disdain messages focusing on strict networks.

On the criminal side, we have seen that there are numerous web-based installment applications and wallets that are being utilized to swindle individuals.

These digital lawbreakers are focusing on individuals looking for food and vegetable merchants closest to their homes when they have secured down their homes on Google.

Detecting an open door here, fraudsters have changed their strategies and placed their numbers via web-based media as food merchants and sellers of fundamental merchandise.

At the point when individuals call these numbers, they are guaranteed free home conveyance of fundamentals on the installment of Rs 5 or Rs 50.

They are given the choice of money down for their buys and are sent an application connects, which when clicked opens up a structure that requests Visa or bank subtleties so they can book their orders by making an installment of Rs 5 or 50.

When a client makes this installment, every one of his subtleties is caught by these crooks including their portable number, OTPs, passwords, email IDs, and so forth

Utilizing these subtleties, they pull out cash from ledgers or use Visas for buys.

Many individuals have lost cash to these internet-based stunts.

I have by and by got five to seven such cases and in various areas in Maharashtra we have gotten objections around 50 such cases.

In metropolitan regions, we have seen a spike in alcohol look and to exploit these, online hoodlums opened phony alcohol shops promising free home conveyance. The business as usual continues as before. Sending a phony to connect to catch charge card and bank subtleties of individuals and afterward utilize this touchy information to pull out cash from their records.

We have given warnings across the state about such tricks and cautioned the police headquarters where such crimes have been uncontrolled.

The other pattern is coercing individuals who watch explicit substances during this lockdown or maybe before the lockdown started.

There has been a flood in email sextortion rackets over the most recent couple of days. These extortionists have spilled email IDs and passwords of individuals who surf the Web for obscene substances.

The email shippers guarantee that they have seen the clients perusing explicit locales and they have the accounts. They take steps to disgrace these individuals by sending these accounts to their relatives. Consequently, they request delivery for not sending these accounts.

This might have really occurred in a couple of cases, I don’t yet know without a doubt, yet in the vast majority of the cases, these extortionists gain admittance to penetrated information or information caught through malware called ‘crawlers’ and ‘trackers’ via looking through the program history of their objectives or from add-on augmentations or reserve memory.

Most programs store the history of Pages visited by clients; numerous clients save their email IDs and passwords on their PCs.

There are two potential manners by which these lawbreakers access your private information: Either through information break on Sites that individuals frequently visit or perhaps a store of program information is spilled.

We have gotten numerous grievances connected with sextortion and we have given warnings likewise in regards to that. Individuals/Clients need not be alarmed by such examples.

They ought to quickly change their secret word, clear their program reserve setting.

Try not to permit any pop-ups and additional items assuming you are utilizing Internet browsers.

In the event that you are utilizing portable and perusing versatile applications, check which applications are running, what authorizations you have given to those applications and check which applications are consuming the majority of your portable information, which mail customer you are utilizing to really take a look at your sends on versatile.

We have encouraged individuals to investigate these issues and follow essential security safeguards while surfing on the web.

These are a portion of the top patterns concerning how digital lawbreakers are utilizing the lockdown to trick individuals or cheat cash utilizing their charge cards or bank subtleties.

Has there been a sharp expansion in the quantity of these cases after the lockdown?

There has been a stamped expansion in four kinds of cases.

One is misrepresentation connected with online conveyances, web-based shopping, and online food and alcohol.

Second phony news, third disdain discourse, and fourth sextortion.

What activity has the Maharashtra Digital Cell taken against these lawbreakers?

We have a zero resilience strategy (against digital violations).

The Public authority of India has made an entrance called cybercrime.gov.in. We encourage individuals to enroll their grumblings on the web.

Their objections straightforwardly come to the concerned police headquarters and we are the nodal office for Maharashtra. These protests are additionally gotten at our end.

We examine these grumblings promptly and ask the concerned police headquarters to follow up on these objections.

We likewise appeal to individuals that they should visit their closest police headquarters and hotel their grumblings.

We additionally have a zero resistance strategy towards counterfeit news, disdain messages, and digital wrongdoing which is connected with abuse of ladies and kids.

We treat these grievances exceptionally in a serious way. We have acted up until this point rigidly against such crooks.

From January 2020, we began Activity Dark Face to control pedophilia and online double-dealing of ladies, register such grievances and carry the hoodlums to confront the law.

From January to date, we have enlisted 140 related cases. In excess of 60 individuals have been captured. In excess of 100 individuals have been distinguished, who will be captured soon.

Moreover, the second classification that we have zero resistance against is phony information and disdain talks.

We have enrolled in excess of 275 arguments against those getting out counterfeit words and disdain messages. In excess of 69 individuals have been captured up until this point.

We have recognized in excess of 200 individuals who have enjoyed getting out counterfeit word or disdain messages and will be captured soon.

During the lockdown time frame, Whatsapp and Facebook have been utilized broadly for gossip-mongering and disdain messages followed by TikTok and Twitter. A large portion of the sound and video content connected with these cases was found on Facebook and WhatsApp. We have additionally advised these stages about these exercises.

How can these online media stages help out the Maharashtra Digital Cell in following and checking such violations?

We have requested that they check these crimes occurring on their foundation and they have reacted emphatically. Yet, we need them to act proactively and prudently.

They know what the pattern is on their foundation; they know from where the traffic is traveling every which way, what sort of exercises are occurring right in front of them, yet (they are fleeing from their obligations) under the attire of ‘We don’t investigate client content’… be that as it may, these patterns are apparent. They should make mechanical courses of action, which will forestall (these crimes).

I will give a model.

Google Pay has a converse connection that can be utilized to charge cash from somebody’s record rather than an individual crediting cash into somebody’s record.

Along these lines, in the event that I need to pay you, you can send me a connection to make the installment. Ordinarily, assuming that I need to pay you, I credit the cash into your record utilizing your versatile number connected to your bank or utilizing your bank subtleties.

But on the other hand, there’s an office (turn around interface) by which you can likewise send a connection to me and request a charge from my record.

Google Pay and OLX have turned into a lethal mix for certain, packs utilizing this business as usual.

In the event that you are purchasing something (on OLX), rather than you making the installment to the merchant, the dealer tricks you to filter an RFID code to make the installment yet such exchange creates a converse connection, that is, rather than producing a credit interface (through which the purchaser makes the ideal installment to the vender), the dealer sends you a charging interface which permits him to pull out however much he needs from your record rather than the sum for which the exchange happens.

Thus, rather than you (the purchaser) paying cash to me (the dealer), the con artist has sent a charge to connect to you that permits him to pull out however much he needs to from your record. Such tricks are additionally occurring while at the same time purchasing merchandise online on internet business Sites.

In such cases, an innovative plan like when you register for making installments through the NEFT (Public Electronic Supports Move) or Devils (Quick Installment Framework) stages where you need to enlist first and after some time, which is utilized for check of the leaser and debitor, you can make and get installments utilizing these stages.

I have my lunch and dinner taken care of on most days, but it is the middle of the day and late at night that I get hunger pangs and yarn too much on something that can give me energy and make me feel full throughout the day. So I have discovered diet munchies are very low on fat and calories but make you feel full quickly. Most people much on potato chips, biscuits, sweets, rusks, cake, and even tubs of ice creams if they feel like a munch. I have thrown all that out of the window and decided to make Tandoori Makhane, Melon seeds, almonds, and dry strawberry mixes, along with figs and boiled corn cob as my evening and late-night munchies. These foods are low in calories, fat, and sugar and high in fiber and nutrition. These make you feel full these along with green tea or Kashmiri Chai are excellent for evening tea time and late-night snacks if you feel hungry. Low on calories and also filling. Time to throw away that salted biscuit or cream cake, time to do away with fried stuff like samosa, chips, bread pakoda, and other savories. Munch on these diet munches, if you want to support your weight loss regime.  Feel full without gaining weight and calories.

As I said along with my fitness plan I am also on a drive to quit my smoking habit and habit of having paan masala. I used to have two to three small packets of Pan masala a day. This is my second day of having no Paan Masala as I have replaced that habit by having saunf and bits of mango papad. I used to smoke 12 to 13 cigarettes a day. Now when I smoke I throw the cigarette butt in a special dustbin placed outside my garden, now at the end of the day when I go to bed I can count the total number of cigarettes I smoke. My goal is to reduce my cigarette intake by one cigarette every day and try to lick the habit within the next two to three weeks completely.

Paan Masala is easier to leave for me but smoking is very difficult as a writer I take lots of breaks to freshen my mind and it is during these frequent writing breaks I take a smoke, it helps me think and write. So it is a habit that is very well entrenched in my mind it is more a phycological habit I have had for over a decade and kicking it is proving very difficult.

I am thus counting my cigarettes every day and then consciously reducing it by one every day, it is tough but it’s something that has to be achieved for my overall health improvement. Smoking is something I have to leave as I get fitter and add more exercise to my daily schedule, the exercise should distract me from smoking more throughout the day and I am sure with will power I will be able to kick the habit that can prove deadly for me as I age.

I have completed 100 days of my fitness and health routine today and can say with pride that I have lost 7 kg now from my original weight which was 99.6 kg. I am just under 93 kgs today as I take another oath that I will kick my Pan Masala habit and my smoking habit from today onwards. How will I achieve that well I have bought two large jars of Rajwadi mixed Saunf and one jar of Mango Slice? Now, whenever I have the need to have Pan Masala I have Saunf instead, that way I am able to replace the murky pan masala with something less harmful. I used to have two small packets of pan masala every day. I have decided to quit that altogether, the other thing is that I have also sworn to kick my smoking habit. I smoke 10 to 12 cigarettes every day and I have from today decided to cut it by half and within two weeks kick the habit completely.

My endeavor is to add a dumbbell exercise routine to my stomach crunches and also start some new yoga exercises with my mat. I will keep increasing my average monthly brisk walk by 1 to 1.5 km every month. Currently, I am walking at an average of 11 km per month every day.

As I get bitten and feel lighter and more agile my body is resisting the bad stuff I have during the day like Cigarettes and Pan masala. I am Abel to breathe more deeply and my body is not liking the harmful smoke that I inhale throughout the day or the can nasal I have which gets stuck to my teeth and gums.

It is a natural progression of getting fit and feeling well and more agile, my body wants more exercise and good food that is nourishing, I have figs and dates along with dried apricots which I munch during the evening along with green tea which helps my digestion weight loss. I am discovering the joys of having seeds and nuts they are great supplements for my exercise routine and I do feel tired while doing sit-ups and stomach crunches. So here’s wishing that I totally quit my pan masala habit along with my smoking very soon. I have taken my first steps toward kicking these awful habits that have plagued me for over a decade it is time to totally go for heath. As Sara Ali Khan says it’s time to healthily.

Today was an auspicious day as I bought a pair of dumbbells from a local Rajpur Road Shop . I bought the 2kg dumbbell but they ended up being too heavy for me to carry all the way home, thus I had to take an auto back to my house . I also managed to do twenty-five stomach crunches today on my green yoga mat . These I have been doing for a few weeks now . I intend to add a dumbbell exercise routine to my yoga schedule from now on . The reason is that I want to reduce my chest fat which has grown large and floppy over a period of time .The dumbbells will help in substantially reducing my chest fat or boobs and the stomach crunches will attack my belly fat and girth .

I have also added fish and tuna to my diet in the past two weeks along with Anjeer and cashew they give me the energy I need for my long four our walks on the hilly roads of Rajpur . The other thing that has found my attention is Body Shop and its skin and hair care products which I use to hydrate my skin during the winters and give my hair the added sheen and bounce that they need .

Till then enjoy the pictures of my new health and body care products  .

Allu Arjun’s Pushpa is being appreciated by people across the nation. Directed by Sukumar, the film has been in the limelight for all the right reasons. Allu Arjun’s acting chops, dance moves and dialogue delivery have enthralled the masses. The film was not only released in Telugu but also in Hindi, Malayalam and Tamil. And a few days ago, it also started streaming on Amazon Prime Video. For the Hindi version of the film, Bollywood actor Shreyas Talpade lent his voice and Allu Arjun himself thanked the actor for the same.

I DON’T WANT TO TAKE CREDIT: SHREYAS TALPADE
Recently, Aaj Tak exclusively interacted with Shreyas Talpade regarding his dubbing work for Pushpa. The actor refused to take credit for the success of the film because he believes, “Allu Arjun has done a fantastic job in the movie. Because of that, I didn’t have to put in the extra effort while dubbing for the film. I sent two to three samples of my voice to director Sukumar. After that, one voice was finalised. I had to keep my voice on the base. Pushpa’s dubbing used to happen in the morning because at that time one’s voice is very fresh.”

I have been clocking 14 km plus through my power walks and the hilly roads of Rajpur are my best mates these days . I walk and walk and walk for over four hours now every day and as I go about my weight loss program I manage to click away at things that catch my eye through my I phone , today I even used the cinematic mode in my I phone 13 camera . I managed to find many interesting painted pictures on the wall of the city , some of them are show caed in this blog . I manage to climb on steep inclined road and regulate my breathing as the slop and incline becomes steep . I do take time to rest on juice corners and every hour enjoy a large coconut water , these water breaks give me the necessary breathers I need .

The trick while taking such long daily walks is to space your walk and take rest from time to time that keeps you going and the feet don’t hurt that much . Today I muted on boiled corn and peanuts on my way back and the almonds and nuts that I am having through the day give me enthu every to cover long distances . Pacing your walk is important and I enjoy going up teh hill because that requires strength and stamina plus I am bale to breathe more deeply when I am going up the hill , my lungs fill up with oxygen which is in plenty on the hilly road leading to the mountain . My attention does waver at times as I look around myself to catch a glimpse of something beautiful that I can click .

Again and again I put the thoughts in my mind at the back burner steadily staring at the road ahead .I did enjoy the sunset immensely today and was please with my endeavour .

Today I was very excited I had clocked over 14.5 km of brisk walking thought the tough up and down terrain of Rajpur Road . The most I have done so far over four and half hours of non stop walking . On the way I bumped into a young skate boarder how was skating through the road he was accompanied by a friend and was loving it . These guys where piping though the afternoon traffic and snaking through the busy road . Pushing the road with one leg as they balanced on the skate board that whizzed past bystanders and the traffic with ease . It was like cutting butter through a hot butter knife they where able to navigate and direct the traffic with ease . Although I was busy with my walk and enjoying the music and podcast on my I phone through my neatly plugged in earphones, I just had to stop to chat with. These guys and take their pictures . I even managed to take a video of the young lads go about with their wooden skates .

Today was fun as the air had a bit of nip in it and it’s as cold , had to be its mid-January in Dehra Doon and the temperatures fall to nearly 7 degrees in the night . My feet did hurt at times but I was able to cheer myself up with two large glasses of carrot and beetroot juice as I strolled up hill on the Rajpur and Sahastra Dhara road . The uphill walk was difficult but I regulated my breathing all the while when I would get thirsty I would stop over for a coconut water . To my dismay this coconut vendor was an amateur and took more then twenty minutes to chop up the coconut , he used all kinds of knives and choppers but still could not hack the nut. Finally he managed somehow to drill a hole in the damn thing and I was able to sip some coconut water . It is so important to stay hydrated when you are on a long walk and navigating busy traffic and roads .

It is best to enjoy the view as you walk and make sure you choose a hilly route the harder the climb the more calories you will burn its that simple .The addition of dry fruits goats cheese and fish gives me enough energy and fuel for these arduous adventures that I am on these days . As I aimlessly meander through the out skirts of the city . I am getting to see a new side of the city these days as I venture far and wide at either direction s I undertake my daily marathon walks .

My next target is to hit the 10 miles a day or 16.2 km a day power walking distance which will be coming anytime soon as I am only a few km away from hitting that mark . Their are so many temples in the way and I mange to catch on some prayer as I walk along with some food shopping as well . Align has really changed my life as I am able to shop for all the healthy stuff that I need , along with health foods and skin care products that I use regularly I am able to gaze and windows of showrooms for cloths or apparel that catch my fancy . I have not used a vehicle for over three months now and have no need to sue auto’s taxi’s and rickshaws even . Walking all the way to the passport office to renew my passport or just visiting the local hospital for a covid test . I walk upto to my local CA ’s office to get my tax papers , even if I have to visit the opticians for a change of lines or my dentist I walk all the way . Basically I have done a U turn and by avoiding any form of transport walking has become in integral part of my daily activity . It has became an integral part of my daily routine . If I have to buy fruits or vegetables from my local market i walk . The buzz of good much helps me concentrate on my steps and by breathing takes care of the rest .

That is why I am able to clock 12 plus kilometers of brisk walking day in day out and I have done it consistently for the last two months or so without a break-even on Sundays. Till then enjoy some of my pictures as I go through my daily walking routine .

As I go about my fitness regime , I have also understood the importance of looking good and looking after my skin and body hygiene . I have discovered the wonder of body shop . Body Shop and skin care and hydration . So I have been binging on the products from this shop . I have indulged myself in strawberry and hemp foot creams . Banana Shampoo is fabulous for my hair along with alma hair shine products . I have been applying anti ageing cream and mango yogurt skin moisturisers . The shaving cream from Body shop is very smooth and makes sure their are no scratches and abrasions on my face , it protects me from cuts and rashes on my facial skin . I also like the honey almond and olive body scrubs they keep my skin clean and take away the roughness on my body .

I have also bought strawberry flavoured anti ageing cream along with facial scrubs that keep my skin glowing and help it remain soft and young .According to Body shop ether products take a few months to show their entire impact and I am patiently waiting the advantage I get from these natural skin and body care products from Body Shop .

The skin and body care factious goes hand in hand with my fitness and weight loss program . I feel light and healthy some thing I have not felt for a long long time . The diet also helps in keeping me looking young and agile .
