TikTok's Rivalry native app Mitron may have 50 lakh users affected, learn

The Mitron app, which was launched as a short video making app last week, was downloaded by 50 lakh users on sight. It was heavily promoted as TikTok's Rivalry native short video making app. The Mitron app was also widely downloaded by the users due to the campaign being run by users against TikTok for the last several days due to it being a Chinese app. But there is a disclosure about this native short video making app Mitron in which it is revealed that it has a link to Pakistani app TicTic. There are also complaints of bugs in this app, due to which 50 lakh users can be affected.

In this disclosure, it has come out that if anyone can buy the source code of this app after spending $ 34 (about Rs. 2,500). According to media reports, 277 users have just purchased the source code of this app which is available on the CodeCayon platform. It has been revealed in these reports that the Mitron app is not a native short video making app but a clone version of the Pakistani app TicTic. As soon as the Mitron app was discussed in India, Pakistani developers QBoxus contacted Indian Reports via Twitter and claimed that the app has been developed using TicTic's source code, for $ 34 (about Rs. 2,571). Purchased from the CodeCrayon platform.

After this, many information security researchers examined the API and code of both the apps, and it was found that the APIs of both the apps are the same, which are being hosted from different servers. It is clear that Mitron, a native short video making app, has been developed using the source code of QBoxus. According to the team at QBoxus, their business model is to clone popular apps and make its source code available at a cheaper price. He also claimed to have cloned and sold 277 copies of TicTic's source code. In such a situation, it would be wrong to call Mitron an Indian short video making app.

Now the privacy of the users who use the Mitron app is also questionable. If you click on the privacy page of the Mitron app on the Google Play Store, it redirects you to a webpage where the privacy policy is written in an unprofessional manner. However, there has been no response from the developers of the Mitron app about the privacy of this app. Nor has he said anything about his app being linked to the Pakistani app.

File sharing app WeTransfer banned in India, users are facing problems

File sharing platform WeTransfer has stopped functioning in India. On social media platform Twitter, many users are filing complaints about WeTransfer being banned. Ban's news has also been confirmed by WeTransfer, an Amsterdam-based company in the Netherlands. According to the report, the Government of India has banned this website keeping in mind the National Security and Public Interests. The case is being investigated by WeTransfer. The company will soon issue a statement in this matter.

Earlier on May 18, the Department of Telecommunication (DoT) issued an order to block two web pages of WeTransfer. But now the entire platform has been banned by DoT. However, no statement has been issued by DoT in the case at present. According to the report, if you want to open the website from mobile or Wi-Fi, then you will get the message of 'this site can't be reached'. People doing work from home are facing a lot of problems due to the ban of WeTransfer. During the Corona epidemic, a large number of people used the WeTransfer platform to transfer files, which have been receiving complaints of WeTransfer being banned in recent times.

Founded in the year 2009, WeTransfer has millions of users worldwide including India. It is available in paid and free versions. In this, users are given the option to transfer up to 2GB of files for free. At the same time, for storage of 20GB to 1TB, the company charges a premium version. WeTransfer competes with products such as Google Drice, DropBox. However, despite the ban, this platform can be accessed on a virtual private network (VPN). This means that its servers can be connected to other countries.

'Remove China Apps' became popular, downloaded more than 1 million times

A digital campaign has started against China. An app named 'Remove China App' has become popular on the Google Play Store. Within just two weeks of launch, this app has been downloaded more than 1 million, ie 1 million times. It is being claimed that through this app, information about the apps of Chinese companies is available. Its interface is very user friendly and easy. After downloading and installing this app, it will scan the apps in your smartphone and tell which app belongs to Chinese companies.

'Remove China App' is listed on Google Play Store on 17 May last month. This app has been designed by OneTouch Apps Labs. Giving information about this app on the Play Store, the company has written that this app has been designed for educational purpose which only tells in which country an app has been made. We do not promote people to uninstall an app. It has been further written that information about the origins of any app will be given on the basis of market research. We cannot say with guarantee that if the information is true or false, then users can take any decision according to their own.

Let me tell you that a video of Sonam Wangchuk has surfaced in the past, in which she has urged people to boycott Chinese product. In this video, this request has been made to break China's back. Since the insistence of Sonam Wangchuk, the number of people downloading this app has increased rapidly and on seeing it, it has reached number two in the category of top free apps on the Google Play Store. This app has been launched as an anti-China movement last month. If there is no Chinese app installed on your smartphone or device, then it prompts the message- "You are awesome, No China app found in your system". However, there is a doubt about the company that makes this app. The privacy policy does not reveal the company openly.
