<p>A video of the horrifying Christchurch attack circulating widely on Twitter has been removed, but only after being alerted by the New Zealand government.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The video was shot by an Australian supremacist who killed over 50 Muslims in two mosques in Christchurch in 2019. It was uploaded by a Twitter user on Saturday (Nov 26).&nbsp;</p>

Twitter fails to detect Christchurch attack video as 'harmful', New Zealand's govt reaches out

<p>In southern India, over 80 individuals have been injured as a result of a clash between police and protesters who halted the construction of a $900 million port belonging to Asia's richest man, Adani.</p>

<p>the protesters forced workers to stop working at the&nbsp;Vizhinjam seaport.</p>

<p>In the recent clashes, hundreds of angry protesters stormed a police station&nbsp;with lethal weapons, damaging official vehicles, the police documents claim.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The construction has been halted for over three months after the villagers blocked the entrance for construction vehicles claiming that the activities are causing harm to their livelihoods, Reuters reported.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A senior police official claimed that 36 police officials have been severely wounded in this clash.</p>

<p>The protest has continued in the area despite repeated orders from Kerala's High Court to allow construction dismissing all claims by the protesters.&nbsp;</p>

India: Hundreds of protesters clash with police over Adani's port project, 80 injured

<p>Following reports that phone numbers of nearly 500 million WhatsApp users are up for sale on the Dark web, the company has denied that any of its data has been leaked.&nbsp;WhatsApp has nearly two&nbsp;billion users out of which data of 487 million users is up for sale from 84 countries including the US, UK, Turkey, and France, as per a report by&nbsp;Cybernews.</p>

<p>"The claim written on Cybernews is based on unsubstantiated screenshots. There is no evidence of a ‘data leak’ from WhatsApp,"&nbsp;a WhatsApp spokesperson told WION.</p>

<p>"The purported list is a set of phone numbers, and not WhatsApp user information," it said.</p>

<p>Cybernews' report sparked a debate over whether the platform's encrypted messages and modern security forum are safe.&nbsp;There is still no clarity about how the hacker obtained the numbers he claims to possess.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/technology/whatsapp-may-soon-let-users-to-share-voice-notes-as-status-updates-537728"><strong>Also read |&nbsp;WhatsApp may soon let users share voice notes as status updates</strong></a></p>

<p>In its report, it further mentioned that the leaked data is of active users.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The seller posted that the phone numbers of 32 million users from the US, 11 million from the UK, 10 million users from Russia, and six million users from India who are registered are at risk.</p>

<a class="close-mark close-div" href="#" id="jqclosemark">×</a></div>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>The report further mentions that the US dataset costs around $7,000 and the UK costs $2,500. Cybernews further claimed that they contacted the hacker to know if it was true. The hacker then provided numbers of over 1,000 users from the UK as proof, NDTV reported.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This is not the first time the data of the Meta-owned platform has been leaked. A similar instance happened last year when data of 500 million Facebook users got leaked including India.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This is a matter of concern as the listed phone numbers listed could fall prey to spamming, phishing, and even major criminal activities.&nbsp;</p>

<p>WhatsApp users need to be careful. Do not respond to an unknown number or messages. This is because hackers might use information through smishing and vishing. Smishing and vishing mean that the hackers will use fraudulent links through a text or voicemail.

Following reports that phone numbers of nearly 500 million WhatsApp users are up for sale on the Dark web, the company has denied that any of its data has been leaked.

Following reports that phone numbers of nearly 500 million WhatsApp users are up for sale on the Dark web, the company has denied that any of its data has been leaked. WhatsApp has nearly two billion users out of which data of 487 million users is up for sale from 84 countries including the US, UK, Turkey, and France, as per a report by Cybernews. "The claim written on Cybernews is based on unsubstantiated screenshots. There is no evidence of a ‘data leak’ from WhatsApp," a WhatsApp spokesperson told WION. "The purported list is a set of phone numbers, and not WhatsApp user information," it said. Cybernews' report sparked a debate over whether the platform's encrypted messages and modern security forum are safe. There is still no clarity about how the hacker obtained the numbers he claims to possess.

The seller posted that the phone numbers of 32 million users from the US, 11 million from the UK, 10 million users from Russia, and six million users from India who are registered are at risk. × The report further mentions that the US dataset costs around $7,000 and the UK costs $2,500. Cybernews further claimed that they contacted the hacker to know if it was true. The hacker then provided numbers of over 1,000 users from the UK as proof, NDTV reported.

A similar instance happened last year when data of 500 million Facebook users got leaked including India. This is a matter of concern as the listed phone numbers listed could fall prey to spamming, phishing, and even major criminal activities. WhatsApp users need to be careful. Do not respond to an unknown number or messages. This is because hackers might use information through smishing and vishing.

<p>Elon Musk shared on Saturday that he may launch his own smartphone if Apple and Google decide to remove the Twitter app from their app stores. Since Twitter is reportedly facing close scrutiny by both Apple and Google app stores, there were concerns that the micro-blogging platform may be removed from their app stores.&nbsp;Musk was replying to right-wing podcaster Liz Wheeler’s suggestion that he should create a new phone if the tech giants boot Twitter from their app stores.<br />
<br />
Wheeler said the endeavour would not be a challenge for a man who builds rockets to Mars, and added that “half the country would happily ditch the biased, snooping iPhone &amp; Android” and purchase instead the “tELONphone” a term she coined for the device.</p>

Musk replied: "I certainly hope it does not come to that, but, yes, if there is no other choice, I will make an alternative phone."</p>

<p>To Musk's response, many users said that regardless of this he should make his smartphones. One user said, "Raise your hand if you think @elonmusk should make an alternative phone regardless."</p>
