Last year Anonymous India had warned people about how Reliance Jio is allegedly sending private data including user location data to China. This time, they are claiming that Reliance Jio is sharing all the call data with foreign companies.

Earlier we published articles on Reliance Jio Features & declassified information on Reliance Jio Plans today we will be talking about new disclosures on Reliance Jio which are made by Anonymous Group who are famous for exposing flaws in Internet.

Anonymous India says that all cellular data including phone numbers, call duration and more are being sent to servers based in US and Singapore.

Two of Jio’s apps- My Jio and Jio Dialer are apparently sending user information to an ad platform Mad-Me. The ad network’s servers are based out of the US and that might explain why the cellular data is turning up at foreign servers

Anonymous Group Claims Reliance Jio

Here is the proof by Anonymous India to validate their claims of user data sharing by Reliance Jio

  • Install burp suite free edition from here.
  • Setup your Android device to route the traffic via burp suite.
  • Ensure that you have My Jio app and Jio dialer app installed and updated.
  • Begin capturing and turn off the intercept.
  • It can be observed that calling data is sent at random interval to app.cobal.mad-me.com.
  • Despite using the native dialer one will still see the packet being sent in proxy history.

The Anonymous collective of hackers has been at the forefront at the cyberspace, exposing flaws in the internet and waging a war against privacy-violators, cyber terrorists and internet bullies.

If the information provided by Hactivist group is true than Reliance Jio is clearly violating users’ privacy.

Here is the list of the car companies owned by Volkswagen Group -:

1) Audi

Audi - Volkswagen Owned Company

Audi AG is a German automobile manufacturer that designs, engineers, produces, markets and distributes luxury vehicles. In 1960, Audi was acquired by Volkswagen and since then Audi has become one of best-selling luxury automobiles in the world. As of now Volkswagen Group owns 99.55% share of the luxury car Audi.

2) Porsche AG

Porsche - Volkswagen owned company

Porsche  is a German automobile manufacturer specializing in high-performance sports cars, SUVs and sedans. Volkswagen

Porsche SE and Porsche AG are 2 different companies. SE is the majority shareholder in VW, but AG is the one that makes cars. When you consider this difference, you see how can VW become the owner – they became the owner of Porsche AG, not the Porsche SE.

Volkswagen group owns Porsche AG, not Porsche SE. Porsche SE is a German holding company with investments in the automotive industry. While Porsche AG was created for the car manufacturing business(which is owned by Volkswagen Group).

Porsche SE owns 52% shares of Volkswagen Group. This structure will help them transfer profits & losses around the books. 

3) Lamborghini

Lamborghini - Volkswagen owned company

Lamborghini is an Italian brand and manufacturer of luxury sports cars and SUVs based in Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy. The sports car company is owned by the Volkswagen Group through its subsidiary Audi. In 1998, Mycom Setdco and V’Power sold Lamborghini to the VW Group where it was placed under the control of the group’s Audi division.

4) Skoda

Skoda - Volkswagen owned company

Škoda, is a Czech automobile manufacturer founded in 1895 as Laurin & Klement. It is headquartered in Mladá Boleslav, Czech Republic. In 2000 Škoda became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group.

5) Bugatti

Bugatti - Volkswagen owned company

Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. is a French high-performance luxury automobiles manufacturer and a subsidiary of Volkswagen AG. Volkswagen purchased the rights to produce cars under the Bugatti Brand in June, 1998.

6) Seat

Seat - Volkswagen owned company

SEAT is a Spanish automobile manufacturer with its head office in Martorell, Spain. It is wholly owned subsidiary of the German Volkswagen Group. After the withdrawal of Fiat from SEAT it was Volkswagen that grabbed the opportunity and signed the partnership agreement with SEAT. On December 18, 1990, the Volkswagen Group acquired 99.99% ownership of the company, thus making SEAT the first non-German wholly owned subsidiary of the Group

7)Bentley

Bentley - Volkswagen owned company

Bentley Motors Limited  is a British company that designs, develops, and manufactures luxury motorcars which are largely hand-built. It is a subsidiary of Volkswagen AG which means VW owns more than 50% shares of Bentley Motos Limited.

8) Volkswagen

Volkswagen is a German automaker founded in 4 January 1937 by the German Labour Front, headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany. It is the flagship brand of the Volkswagen Group and is the largest automaker worldwide currently.

Car Companies Owned By Volkswagen Group

Apart from the car companies owned by Volkswagen Group they also sells motorcycles under the Ducati brand; and commercial vehicles under the marques MAN, Scania, Neoplan and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles.

After the emission scandal, Volkswagen stock price drop substantially and they are still trying to recover from that.

In 2015, Volkswagen admitted that it had installed pollution-cheating software in many of its cars to fool regulators that its cars met emissions standards when in fact they polluted at much higher levels than government standards.

LinkedIn, which was acquired by Microsoft in June for $26.2 billion, on Monday unveiled three new products for Indian Audience. 

3 new products launched by LinkedIn focusing on Indian market :

1.LinkedIn lite

Similar to facebook lite, it will decrease load time and save bandwidth. LinkedIn claims that the Lite site, which the company has built from scratch over the past 12 weeks, will feature a stripped-down design so it loads up to four times faster on mobile devices.

Reliance Jio Plans are Too Good to Be True?
Maybe they are. When they say something is FREE it is not actually free.
So here we are clearing some confusions regarding Reliance Jio.

1) Data Is Not Unlimited

Reliance Jio has set a daily limit of 4 GB LTE data usage per day. 4GB per day is still quite high but it’s not unlimited. After 4 GB, the speed will be reduced to 128 Kbps.

2) Unlimited Night Plan Is Only Of 3 Hours

For Reliance night time is 3 hours only. Unlimited night time is from 2 AM to 5 AM only.

3) Network Problems

You will definitely get a high speed 4G if you are getting 4g signal. Since Jio only have 4G, you will either get high speed internet or no internet. So cross check Jio network in your area before you stand in long queues.

Reliance coverage map

You can get the courage map of your area from support or from digi stores. There are several ways to contact support. You can specify your location and email id and support staff will mail you Reliance Jio coverage Map of your area.

4)1 GB may cost more than 50 Rs.

After excluding the unlimited night data and the wifi data then the price per GB of these plans will be

0.3GB for Rs149 = ~Rs 497/GB
4GB for Rs 499 = ~Rs 125/GB
10GB for Rs 999= ~Rs 100/GB
20GB for Rs 1499= ~Rs75/GB
35GB for Rs 2499= ~Rs71/GB
60GB for Rs3999= ~Rs66/GB
75GB for Rs 4999= ~Rs66/GB

Even the highest plan doesn’t get you data as low as Rs 50.
They included the wifi access in coming up with Rs50/GB price, but if you exclude it you will see that the lowest price is Rs66/GB.

But still their prices are much better than other players in the market

5) Recently Anonymous India Claims that Reliance Jio is Selling User Data To Ad Networks

Keep checking on these pages as we disclose more information about Reliance Jio

Cheers!!

Facebook is once again adjusting the algorithm that powers News Feed. The changes are  aimed at reducing the amount of “clickbait” in users’ feeds.

According to facebook changes will begin to appear within couple of weeks.

Facebook is using two key factors to define clickbait :

(1) if the headline withholds information required to understand what the content of the article is; and (2) if the headline exaggerates the article to create misleading expectations for the reader

Links from pages that routinely post these types of headlines will be demoted in users’ News Feeds, Facebook said.

It also means that now #DataSaver guy will be out of job
