Mawra Hocane Lashes Out At Sushma Swaraj For Interfering In Pakistani Affairs

Sushma Swaraj

Over the weekend, it was reported that two minor girls were forcefully converted from Hinduism to Islam and then married off to Muslim men in Ghotki.

The news created a storm on social media and people just couldn’t stop talking about it.

Prime Minister Imran Khan then instructed Murad Ali Shah, Sindh CM to look into the matter and take steps to prevent such incidents from happening in the future.

However, the incident initiated a debate around the world where even Indians criticized Pakistani authorities and held them responsible for it.

Similarly, the Indian Minister of External Affairs Sushma Swaraj took to her Twitter account and posted a Tweet, tagging the Pakistani Information Minister.

She wrote:

Mr.Minister  @fawadchaudhry – I only asked for a report from Indian High Commissioner in Islamabad about the kidnapping and forced conversion of two minor Hindu girls to Islam. This was enough to make you jittery. This only shows your guilty conscience. @IndiainPakistan.

The tweet caught the attention of Pakistani actress Mawra Hocane and she couldn’t stop herself from replying.

She wrote:

While I attach this video I do realise that Two wrongs DON’T make a right. Let’s not make this about protecting Hindu girls or Muslim families, let’s make this about protecting human lives across the subcontinent, across the world.

It’s not about ministers, it’s about the public!

She also requested to stop inculcating hate.

It’s hard to go to sleep while SO MUCH is wrong with the World today. Especially when the People in power instead of finding a solution are giving fuel to the fire. I wonder what will be left for them when they do succeed in their self destructive agendas.

iPhone SE 2 to Finally be Revealed?

iPhone SE 2

Everyone around the world is eager for Apple‘s grand event which is to take place at their Headquarters in California!

There are many different speculated outcomes coming from whispers about what the tech-giant may have in store for their audience, including the most awaited iPhone SE 2.

The SE 2 is rumored to be a 4.5″ (11.43 cm) device with a screen resolution of 640 x 1136 pixels and runs on the iOS v10 operating system. The device is powered by Quad-core, 2.34 GHz processor paired with 2 GB of RAM.

Facebook Stored Millions of Passwords as Plain Text!

Given that Apple’s newer phones are a bit out of range for many individuals who are wanting to purchase an iPhone, Apple can certainly time it right and bring the popular SE variant back.

The original SE was discontinued in September 2018. With a new SE phone in the market and eager fans, this might just give Apple sales a push the brand was eagerly waiting for.

On the other hand, according to MacWorld, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicted in early 2018;  along with updates to the iPhone X and a bigger version with an OLED screen (now known to be the iPhone XS and XS Max), Apple would launch a cheaper iPhone in September 2018.

The XR arrived and the SE was discontinued. A typical strategy for the tech titan which we have seen it do for some time now. However, given the reports of Apple’s latest sales, it appears that the strategy is no longer doing the company well.

Could a new cheaper handset be the solution? Time will tell!

Laal Kabootar Review: Closer To Reality Than You Think

laal kabootar

Every once in a few years comes a film that surprises the audience by being closer to reality, different from the run-of-the-mill stuff and making the audience stay on the edge of their seats with its gripping execution.

Last year it was Cake, this year it is Laal Kabootar!

Synopsis

Laal Kabootar revolves around two central characters – Aaliya (Mansha Pasha) and Adeel (Ahmed Ali Akbar) – who are brought together by circumstances.

While Aaliya is searching for her reporter husband’s killer, Adeel wants to make quick money to go to Dubai and to a better life.

Insert a corrupt police officer (Rashid Farooqi), an evil businessman (Mohammad Ahmed) and their henchmen and you have a crime thriller that shows Karachi exactly as it is. Does Aaliya manage to apprehend the killer or does Adeel make it to Dubai, that’s the secondary question.

The primary question is ‘What is Laal Kabootar’ and that question will keep you engrossed in the plot till the climax.

Analysis

When was the last time you saw a Pakistani film where you saw characters instead of actors?

Laal Kabootar takes you in that zone with its perfect casting and rehearsed performances where Mansha Pasha looks the girl in search of a Laal Kabootar, Ahmed Ali as the guy who wants to have a better future and Rashid Farooqi as the cop we don’t want to piss off. Furthermore, the film is shot like a film, with no black frames in between, with proper frames, larger than life action sequences and use on real locations instead of sets.

The background score compliments the story although old cine-goers might not accept it, it perfectly syncs with whatever is shown on the screen. First-time screenwriter Ali Abbas Naqvi does a fine job, although the cuss words come out as disturbing and could have been lessened to add more commercial value.

Verdict – 4/5

Laal Kabootar maybe Kamal Khan’s first feature film but he has been in the field for quite some time, making impressive music videos as a director. He chose an interesting topic for his debut flick and what helped him was the success of web-series notably Sacred Games and Mirzapur. He seems highly inspired by the Guy Ritchie style of filmmaking and its good, considering no one in Pakistan tries to emulate the British director when his films seem closer to our situation than others.

The prominent actors perfectly fit into their characters although the theatre ones have either nothing to do (like Syed M Jameel) or they try to make most of the onscreen time to showcase their talents (Akbar Islam) and going overboard in the process. On the whole, it’s a one-time watch for all those who believe that we can’t make good films in Pakistan, because Laal Kabootar is right there at the top, with the best films ever made in the country.

Facebook Stored Millions of Passwords as Plain Text!

Facebook passwords

Facebook has advised users to change their passwords for three of its popular apps- pronto! On Thursday, a report by Krebs on Security shared something shocking.

The report read that Facebook acknowledged a bug in its password management systems that caused hundreds of millions of user passwords for Facebook, Facebook Lite, and Instagram to be stored as plaintext in an internal platform.

This means that because of that Facebook Bug, everyone’s passwords can easily be retrieved and that too without any complications at all. This also means these passwords were available to thousands of Facebook employees at hand.

For those who were unaware, an organization can store passwords to thousands and thousands of accounts using a process called hashing (which unscrambles passwords) before saving it to their servers.

Netflix Password Sharing: Crackdown Begins!

If the server is compromised, it might just be the end of the tech-titan, which is why the company heavily invests in security and other means to keep the server protected from possible hits.

“As part of a routine security review in January, we found that some user passwords were being stored in a readable format within our internal data storage systems”-Pedro Canahuati, Facebook’s vice president of engineering, security, and privacy wrote in a statement

He added:

Our login systems are designed to mask passwords using techniques that make them unreadable. To be clear, these passwords were never visible to anyone outside of Facebook and we have found no evidence to date that anyone internally abused or improperly accessed them.

Earlier last year, another Facebook bug was caught for stealing passwords. Known FaceXWorm, the bug is being used by cybercriminals to gain access to an individual’s profile to steal their information, like their debit/credit card numbers, address, and more.

Facebook Confirms Linking Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp

The Facebook Messenger bug was first spotted by Kim Komando, consumer tech radio host, who had shed some light upon the matter adding that criminals are using these tactics and techniques to spread the bug, and other bugs alike via phishing scams.

“FACEXWORM IS A NASTY STRAIN THAT DIRECTS VICTIMS TO FAKE VERSIONS OF WEBSITES, SUCH AS YOUTUBE, AND THEN ASKS THEY DOWNLOAD A CHROME EXTENSION IN ORDER TO PLAY A VIDEO’S CONTENT,” MCAFEE’S CHIEF CONSUMER SECURITY EVANGELIST, GARY DAVIS

As of now, Facebook has told WIRED that the passwords that were exposed weren’t all stored in one place and that the issue didn’t result from a single bug in the platform’s password management system.

Facebook says that the scattered nature of the problem made it more complicated both to understand and to fix, which the company says explains the nearly two months it took to complete the investigation and disclose the findings.

“No Plan to Finish O & A Level”: Education Minister Shafqat Mahmood

o & a levels

Minister for Federal Education and Professional Training, Shafqat Mahmood has claimed of a misreporting and has denied the plans of eliminating O and A Levels from the education system in Pakistan.

Reportedly, Daily Times ran news with the title ‘Education Minister puts Finger on Trigger Against O, A level Education.’

They also quoted him saying:

As current education system has many other flaws, those direly needed to be mended due to which said the plan would be practised on next level but it will be done ultimately.

Providing education in our public sector institutions, in elite private schools and in madrassas, three are totally different from each other.

I am personally totally dissatisfied with the prevailing education system that contains several loopholes.

Board of Secondary Education Karachi’s Website Hacked!

Soon enough, this news started to spread and went viral in no time with several publications covering it. However, the minister took it to Twitter to clarify that it was misreporting.

He further stated “No plan to finish O level or A level. What I said that once we have been able to create a consensus on a single national curriculum, we would be in a position to consider a single national certification. May take a decade”.
