The Samsung Galaxy M42 became the first 5G phone in the M series

Today, in mobile technology, Samsung plays a very significant role. Moreover, the screen made by Samsung is one of the best in the world. Even Google Pixel and iPhone also use the screen made by Samsung. Not only this, Samsung is always the first choice of users.

As with the up-gradation of digital advancement and technology, the entire world and India have come in the Network Generation of 5G. Every company in the race of mobile phone technology, already released their 5G network supported devices; however, Samsung has not launched a single device with 5G support yet.

The wait is over for all people who put Samsung in the first place. Samsung recently announced that they would soon launch their first device with 5G support with a mid-range segment. In particular, in India, Samsung pointed to the release of the Galaxy M42, the M series.

As per the statement of one of the tipsters from Samsung, the Galaxy M42 model is right before the corner to launch. M-series in Samsung already gained a lot of popularity and user engagement, and the launch of M42, which is also the first smartphone with the 5G support, will be making a strong user market for Samsung.

Till now, we don’t have an exact date to release the Galaxy M42, but as per Gadgets Data, it claims that at the end of the month, April, Samsung will be launching the M42 in India. Another interesting thing he mentioned in the tweet that a 750G Snapdragon would support the Galaxy M42.

Why Snapdragon 750G?

Snapdragon 750G is popular because it comes with the latest 5G network connectivity by using Qualcomm’s X52, which is a specially designed chipset for the 5G network. In addition, it is an Octa-Core processor with 2.2 GHz built on just an 8 Nanometer Fabrication, and Adreno 619 GPU provides graphics functionality.

The model Moto G 5G was the first to offer a 750G Snapdragon processor, and then Xiaomi Mi 10 provided a second. Now, Galaxy M42 will be the third one to offer this smart processor.

Likewise all other models in the M Series, we can expect many similar features in M42 also. For example, we can assume the giant power battery with at least 6000 mAh capacity; of course, we can expect the HD+ display of AMOLED.

New WhatsApp security one should know

Today, privacy is one of the most crucial things to get secure in this world, especially when we have to believe someone else by sharing all our personal details.

Social media platforms like Whatsapp, Instagram, and Facebook play a major role, where almost everybody trusts blindly while sharing such a piece of crucial information. These all billionaires’ companies keep changing their privacy policy, disclaimer, and terms and conditions; however, no user using this platform reads that.

That’s why we here to tell you, all you have to. Whatsapp is the only platform in the world currently, where all users blindly do every personal and professional kind of stuff, and that makes hackers to do attacks on it to retrieve all user’s information.

What’s the security issue?

Therefore, Whatsapp recently changed its security to make its platform more secure. There is a new issue, or can say, the bug in Whatsapp by which anyone with the “Poor Hacking Skills” and with your mobile number can easily delete your account without knowing you and without your confirmation.

What can a hacker gain?

With this bug, of course, the attacker won’t acquire any of the user information and access to the user’s WhatsApp data, but you will definitely lose your account and end up losing all your chat data. And next time when you try to open WhatsApp, you have to create a new one.

As per the one report of Forbes, it is stated that security researchers Ernesto Canales and Luis Márquez Carpintero found that it is quite easy to block a user’s WhatsApp account by entering multiple times 2FA (Two Factor Authentication) code.

When the attacker attempts multiple times 2FA code, then automatically Whatsapp blocks the account for 12 hours. Then the attacker takes advantage by registering a new email id and requests Whatsapp to change their email address by giving the reason for the phone being stolen.

In this case, the Whatsapp support team, without any other verification from users, deletes the user account.

Sounds scary, right! But don’t worry, it is not that easy in real life. Because every time a user tries to enable two-factor authentication, it requires the OTP sent by Whatsapp. This particular means that the attacker must have access to your device to get that 2FA OTP. So the second step might sound easy for you, but the first one is not.

So to actually make this attack workable, the attacker has to know you and has the trust of you to access your device to get the OTP. Of course, you probably think that a remote attack is also a possible option for an attacker. But, no attacker chooses a remote attack just to delete someone’s WhatsApp account as it is very painful and risky.

Whatsapp adds a new two-factor authentication to safeguard that lets you know whenever someone is trying to open your account on another device to improve security. That’s why you can see continuous and not removable notifications by Whatsapp while using Desktop Whatsapp.
