Facebook clean-up: Why Meta removed over 23,000 accounts in Brazil and India

Facebook clean-up: Meta removed over 23,000 Facebook accounts in Brazil and India linked to scams using deepfakes of public figures to promote fake investments and gambling apps. The company is enhancing security features and collaborating with Indian authorities to combat online fraud and protect users. On 07-05-2025, Meta announced that it had deleted over 23,000 Facebook Pages and accounts that were part of extensive scam operations that mostly targeted people in Brazil and India. The March takedown was a component of Meta’s larger initiatives to fight online fraud and increase public awareness of digital fraud. Meta claims that the fraudulent networks used deep fake technology to pose as well-known individuals, such as corporate leaders, cricket players, and producers of financial information. These edited movies purportedly featured public individuals promoting gambling apps and fraudulent investment schemes. Under the pretence of getting investment advice, consumers were taken to messaging platforms after interacting with the content. In several cases, consumers were tricked into downloading harmful gambling apps from a fake website that looked like the Google Play Store. Meta outlines several common scams. Meta described some increasingly common scam types as part of its effort to improve user protection. While payment scams usually take advantage of internet anonymity and urgency, investment scams frequently offer large returns on assets like shares, real estate, or cryptocurrency. Scammers who pose as vendors on websites like Facebook Marketplace and demand cash before vanishing without delivering the promised products are known to engage in advance payment fraud. Other tactics include Over Payment Frauds, in which con artists request a refund after claiming to have overpaid for an item, only to later reverse their initial (often fraudulent) transaction. As a result, Meta has implemented some security features on Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, including scam alerts in Messenger and instructional materials to assist users in identifying fraudulent activities. To improve online safety, the internet giant said it is collaborating closely with Indian government agencies and civil society groups. Initiatives mentioned include cooperation with the Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre, the Department of Telecommunications, and the Department of Consumer Affairs. Reiterating its dedication to digital security, Meta urged customers to stay alert and make use of the resources available to report and steer clear of frauds.

YouTube pilots two-person Premium plan to boost its subscription push

YouTube is piloting a two-person Premium plan in India and select regions to offer users a more affordable subscription option. Priced at ₹219/month in India, the plan targets couples or cohabitants and supports YouTube’s broader push to grow subscription revenue. YouTube is testing a new subscription tier that allows users in Taiwan, Hong Kong, France, and India to share their Premium or Music Premium membership with a household member. This action coincides with the Google-owned video platform’s increasing emphasis on subscriptions as a possible source of revenue as part of its strategy to expand beyond advertising. The YouTube Music Premium subscription tier is accessible for Rs 149 per month during the pilot. In contrast, the two-person YouTube Premium subscription tier is being provided in India for Rs 219 per month. Participants must be in the same Google family group, have a Google account, and be at least 13 years old. The Cyber Shark verifies this development from YouTube. In an announcement, a YouTube representative stated, “We’re experimenting with new ways to provide greater flexibility and value to our YouTube Premium subscribers, including offering a two-person Premium plan option, allowing two people to share a subscription at a reduced cost.” In addition to the ability to save videos for offline playing and play them in the background, YouTube Premium offers its customers an ad-free experience. Additionally, it gives them early access to certain of the platform’s experimental features. Similar capabilities are available with Music Premium, but just for music content. Monthly rates for YouTube Premium in India start at Rs 89 for students, Rs 149 for individuals, and Rs 299 for families. Students’ Music Premium plans start at Rs 59, individuals’ plans at Rs 119, and families’ plans at Rs 179. Couples, roommates, or any two people living together who want to lower subscription expenses while keeping separate accounts will probably find the two-member plan useful. Spotify, a massive music streaming service, also provides its users with a comparable package called Duo. Google has increased the cost of its premium subscription in numerous areas and launched a global campaign against ad blockers as part of its efforts to boost YouTube’s subscription income in recent years. Depending on the tier, price increases in India in August 2024 ranged from 12% to 58%. “A significant portion of YouTube’s revenue comes from subscriptions. During the business’s April 2025 earnings call, Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet, the parent company of Google, stated, “We are continuing to expand our subscription options. We recently expanded our Premium Lite pilot to the US, giving users a new way to enjoy most videos on YouTube ad-free.” Viewers will be able to watch ad-free videos in a variety of genres, including learning, comedy, gaming, and culinary, with Premium Lite. However, they will see advertisements for shorts, music videos, and music content. Additionally, customers won’t be able to download videos for offline viewing or play them in the background. In addition to the US, the plan is presently offered in Thailand, Germany, and Australia. YouTube reported in March that it has more than 125 million subscribers worldwide across its Music and Premium services. During the April earnings call, Pichai stated that YouTube and Google One were the main factors behind Alphabet’s overall success in surpassing 270 million paid memberships. Google usually only provides the platform’s advertising sales numbers each quarter, not the total amount of money made by YouTube. But in October 2024, Pichai said that for the first time in the previous four quarters, YouTube’s total revenue had topped $50 billion.

Pinterest is at last taking something to combat its AI infestation

Pinterest has introduced new tools to label and filter AI-generated images, helping users distinguish synthetic content and reduce its visibility. The platform will use metadata and AI classifiers to detect altered images, with features like “AI modified” tags and user controls to limit such content. On its site, Pinterest is helping users recognize and steer clear of AI-generated slop. To help customers avoid seeing too many images while searching for related topics, the business is introducing new capabilities that will automatically classify images that are identified as being created or altered using generative AI. “As our users encounter AI-generated content on Pinterest, we are helping them make better choices about what they see,” said Chief Technology Officer Matt Madrigal. “We are consciously tackling this new terrain in a way that is advantageous to all users on Pinterest, and Gen AI content on Pinterest ought to improve users’ capacity to find and act on their inspiration.” Global rollout of Pinterest new Gen AI labelling feature should help shield users from fraud. When a pin is clicked on in close-up, the labels will show up as a “AI modified” stamp in the lower left-hand corner. Pinterest uses metadata analysis, most likely for invisible marks like Adobe’s Content Credentials or Google’s Synthid, to determine whether an image was created or altered using artificial intelligence. Additionally, Pinterest claims to have created “classifiers that automatically detect gen AI content,” even in cases where an image lacks metadata markers. Although detection-based AI flaggers are not always accurate, Pinterest is now enabling users to file an appeal if they think their pins have been incorrectly labelled. It would be an understatement to say I’m overjoyed. The dominance of AI photos on Pinterest has drawn a lot of criticism from users, who find it hard to use the mood board builder for anything useful other than putting together pictures for aesthetic reasons. For instance, it might be difficult for artists to locate reliable real-world reference materials, and, likely, the apparel, accessories, or furnishings items seen in pins aren’t available for purchase because they don’t exist. Even as a source of “inspiration,” that can be problematic because artificial intelligence (AI) can produce incredibly realistic-looking hairstyles and interior design concepts that may be impossible to accomplish in real life. Additionally, an experimental tool will be released “soon” that will let users filter out specific AI photos for categories like beauty and art that are “prone to AI modification or generation,” according to Pinterest. The three-dot menu located at the bottom right of a pin will have the option to “see fewer.” Although it’s unknown how much AI the feature will filter out, Pinterest claims that this will alert its systems to promote less of such content and will eventually spread to more pin categories. I can only hope that an “all of it” option will be added later.

Google Notebook LM AI podcast expands to more languages, including Hindi

Google has expanded its Notebook LM AI podcast feature, Audio Overviews, to support over 50 languages, including Hindi, Marathi, Urdu, Maithili, and Konkani. The tool uses Gemini’s multimodal AI to convert complex texts into podcast-style conversations, making learning more accessible. More languages are now supported by Google’s Audio Overviews function in Notebook LM, the AI-powered note-taking and research tool. More than 50 other languages are currently supported by the feature, including major Indian languages like Hindi, Maithili, Konkani, Urdu, and Marathi. According to the business, this multilingual capability is made possible by multimodal Gemini’s inbuilt audio support. The change was revealed in a blog post by the US-based software corporation. The whole public can now use the functionality. Overviews of Google Notebook LM Audio: How it Operates Imagine a scenario in which a user comes across a complicated paper or article and finds it challenging to understand. In this scenario, the user can utilise the Audio Overviews capability and submit the content to Google Notebook LM. The uploaded content will be converted by the AI into a dialogue between two AI-generated hosts, like a podcast. Rather than reading the material out loud, the hosts engage the audience in conversation while breaking down complex ideas as needed. This method makes learning more approachable and helps to simplify complex information. The resulting audio transformed a four-minute read into a nine-minute podcast when Business Standard tested the function with one of its articles on direct-to-mobile (D2M) phones. The audio sounded human because the two AI hosts spoke naturally, pausing and stuttering realistically. In order to customise the podcast to their requirements, customers could also designate the topic of the discussion. Audio Overviews are now accessible in over 50 languages thanks to this upgrade. Google first expanded Notebook LM to more than 200 countries last year. Overviews of Google Notebook LM Audio: How to Use Go to the Google Notebook LM official website. Select “Create New.” You can use Google Drive to upload your work by copying and pasting text or by pasting a link. Select “Generate” from the “Audio Overview” menu. Listen to the podcast that the AI created using your content.

Reddit Answers’ Debuts in India: AI Summaries and Smarter Searches Now Live

“Reddit Answers” in India, an AI-powered tool that offers users curated summaries, topic suggestions, and conversational responses. The platform aims to boost engagement by integrating AI into search and plans further expansion in India with a local office in Bengaluru. On April 24, 2025, Reddit Answers, a new AI service, was introduced in India. In addition to offering users curated summaries of pertinent comments and previous postings, the tool assists users in asking inquiries. Only a few users had access to the capability, which has been in testing since December 2024. The company’s homepage now features a new button that leads to the AI-powered search tool, which is now more widely accessible. Similar to how users might engage with Chatgpt, Perplexity, or other AI chatbots, clicking this button directs them to a page where they can pose inquiries to the AI. How Reddit Answers work Instead of directing users to Google to look for posts, the function aims to keep them on the platform. Reddit is setting Reddit Answers apart from other AI-based chatbots in this way. For instance, Reddit Answers’ conversational tool will provide a summary of the most recent Bollywood news in bullet points if a user queries the platform, “What is the latest Bollywood gossip?” Additionally, it will suggest related topics and subreddits on the same subject. Google’s AI Overview, which now shows up at the top of some Google search results, is quite similar to the structure of Reddit Answers. The social media site has been attempting to challenge conventional search engines by further integrating artificial intelligence into its search feature. Another instance would be if a person inquired, “I’m going to Kolkata.” Which locations offer the greatest authentic Bengali thali? The AI-powered feature highlights must-try dishes, summarises suggested locations, and gives links to original publications. Reddit Answers outperforms Google when it comes to complex topics with different points of view. One of the primary distinctions between the two search engines is this. For instance, when questioned, “What are the advantages and disadvantages of residing in Gurugram?” Reddit Answers presents viewpoints from both sides, highlighting five advantages and five disadvantages. Links to one or two pertinent Reddit posts on the subject are included with each point. Reddit and Google announced a partnership last month, aiming to use the Gemini tool to help users find answers quickly and enhance search relevance. Reddit has over 100,000 online communities and 400 million weekly active users. Reddit went public earlier last year. During an October earnings call, Reddit CEO Steve Huffman referred to search as “a key part of the strategy” for the firm, pointing out that an increasing percentage of users were relying on Google to find material on Reddit. By boosting platform traffic in recent months, Google has helped Reddit’s spectacular growth by attracting a significant number of new members. Since its inception in 2005, Reddit has offered its members free access to the network; however, it now intends to impose a paywall on certain material. Reddit is now looking to India for growth, even though the US is still one of its biggest markets. According to reports earlier this year, Reddit was considering hiring a local staff and opening an office in Bengaluru in order to reach a new audience of users.

Google-Kantar study presents a cautiously positive view of India’s adoption of Gen AI

A Google-Kantar study highlights growing interest in Generative AI in India, though challenges in awareness and usability persist. Google’s push for localised language support, simpler interfaces, and device integration aims to make its Gemini AI more accessible across diverse user groups. The country’s use of Generative AI (Genai) is changing, according to a recent study by Google and Kantar India. Although interest in the technology is growing, there are still several barriers to entry, particularly in the areas of knowledge and usability. Early users of Google’s Gemini platform, however, are citing significant advantages, pointing to a possible route for broader adoption if these obstacles can be removed. Google is aggressively seeking to increase capabilities and streamline access. The study includes more than 8,000 in-person interviews from various town classes in 18 cities between November 2024 and March 2025. Men and women from socioeconomic classes A and B who were between the ages of 18 and 44 were the survey’s target respondents (referred to as “Indian” in the report). Although interest in AI is growing, the survey found a sizable knowledge gap. Less than one in three Indians have used a generative AI tool, and three out of five are unaware of what artificial intelligence is or does. Understanding how to access and use these technologies is cited as a barrier by three-fourths of individuals who are not currently using Genai. Google is concentrating on making its AI products more user-friendly to meet this challenge. We’ve begun incorporating a lot of those [Genai] features. You’re starting to notice a single app more and more now.”All of these features are built into the Gemini app,” said Manish Gupta, Senior Director at Google DeepMind, in an exclusive interview. The goal of this consolidation is to give users a single location for all of their generative AI requirements while also removing the confusion that is frequently brought on by different AI services. Google is giving multimodal interaction top priority to further improve accessibility. According to Mr. Gupta, “so users can ask them [AI] with a few prompts.” As a result, Gemini will be more user-friendly for a larger spectrum of users by enabling text, speech, and visual inputs. Google is also concentrating on diversity by providing language support. “Our team has been working hard,” Mr. Gupta emphasised, “and we can improve the quality [of AI output] by understanding over 100 Indian languages.” This aids the business in localising AI advancements, especially in India, where not everyone speaks English. Beyond the app experience, Google is also attempting to use smaller language models to integrate AI capabilities straight into gadgets. This makes Gemini more accessible even in places with constrained bandwidth by enhancing performance and lowering dependency on continuous internet connectivity. Early adopters are already discovering useful uses for Gemini, despite the difficulties in gaining access to AI technologies. The survey outlines a variety of use cases, such as researching difficult subjects, helping with schoolwork, organising trips, obtaining “how-to” guides, professional email support, purchasing advice, picture creation, coding aid, and even gastronomic exploration. 75% of Indians believe that to thrive in life, they need a daily growth collaborator, and Gemini is well-positioned to be that person. In its report on the study, Google said that “for those who have overcome the initial barriers, the impact of Genai often goes beyond just task completion – it’s making a difference in how they feel about their capabilities.” The Google-Kantar report paints a cautiously hopeful picture of Genai in India. Although there are still many obstacles to overcome in terms of usability and awareness, Google’s efforts to simplify its products, give localized language support top priority, and incorporate AI directly into devices are essential steps in realizing the technology’s full potential as a “daily growth collaborator” for Indians from all socioeconomic backgrounds. The complete report is anticipated to provide more details on how Gen Z and Millennials view common problems.

Microsoft discloses how AI techniques have increased the risk of tech support fraud, employment fraud, and e-commerce fraud

Microsoft’s latest Cyber Signals report reveals that AI is fueling sophisticated fraud schemes in e-commerce, job recruitment, and tech support by enabling realistic fake websites, job offers, and social engineering attacks. The company has blocked billions in fraud attempts and urges users to stay vigilant and verify sources. According to the latest Cyber Signals study from Microsoft, artificial intelligence has significantly lowered barriers for hackers, enabling more intricate and believable fraud schemes. Microsoft rejected 49,000 phoney partnership enrollments, halted $4 billion in fraud attempts, and stopped over 1.6 million bot signup attempts per hour between April 2024 and April 2025. E-commerce fraud: AI can quickly produce realistic-looking phoney stores Thanks to AI algorithms, scammers can now create believable e-commerce websites in a matter of minutes rather than days or weeks. With artificial intelligence (AI)-generated product descriptions, images, and phoney customer evaluations, these websites mimic actual businesses. Another degree of dishonesty is introduced by AI-powered chatbots for customer support, which engage with consumers and postpone complaints using prewritten justifications to postpone chargebacks. Microsoft claims that the primary origins of this AI-powered fraud are China and Germany, with the latter being singled out due to its status as one of the largest e-commerce markets in the EU. In order to combat these assaults, Microsoft has incorporated fraud detection features into a number of its products, including Microsoft Defender for Cloud and Microsoft Edge, which provide deep learning-based domain impersonation detection and typo protection for websites. Employment fraud includes phoney interviews and employment offers enabled by AI Generative AI has increased employment theft by allowing scammers to create phoney job postings, credentials that have been stolen, and AI-powered email campaigns that are directed at job searchers. These scams might appear authentic through automated correspondence and AI-powered interviews, making it more difficult to identify fraudulent offers. Warning signs include unsolicited job offers that seem too good to be true, requests for personal information, such as bank account details, and offers that make large compensation promises for minimal qualifications. Microsoft cautions job seekers to verify the credibility of employers by cross-referencing corporate information and to be wary of communications from free domains rather than official company email addresses. On official websites and platforms like LinkedIn. Tech support fraud: AI strengthens social engineering attacks Even if other tech support schemes do not yet use AI, Microsoft has witnessed financially motivated gangs like Storm-1811 use voice phishing to imitate IT support to gain victims’ devices through legitimate features like Windows Quick Assist. To produce more convincing social engineering lures, AI techniques can speed up the gathering and organisation of data on the intended victims.

Open AI CEO Sam Altman claims Chat GPT can now reference and recall all your prior chats

Open AI CEO Sam Altman announced that ChatGPT’s memory has been significantly improved, allowing it to recall and reference all prior conversations for more personalized responses. The feature is rolling out to Pro users first, with broader access coming soon, and users can manage or disable memory anytime. ChatGPT’s memory feature has been “greatly improved,” according to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who announced on 10 April 2025. This means that it can now recall and refer to all of your previous conversations with it. According to OpenAI, the feature will enable ChatGPT to provide more tailored responses based on your interests and preferences, making it even more useful for writing, learning, and other purposes. “I think this is a fantastic feature, and it indicates something we are very excited about: AI systems that learn about you for your life and become incredibly helpful and customized,” Altman says. The feature’s rollout has already started. Only ChatGPT Pro members will be allowed to access it at first, and ChatGPT Plus customers will “soon” be able to do the same. In a few weeks, Team, Enterprise, and Edu customers will also have access, according to OpenAI. When or if the feature will be made available to free users is unknown. “EEA, UK, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein” will not be able to use the service, Altman said. ChatGPT already has the memory feature. In September 2024, it was made available to ChatGPT Free, Plus, Team, and Enterprise users. The feature has now been enhanced, though. With the most recent update, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman claims that ChatGPT would be able to recall all of your previous chats with it when previously there were restrictions on how much context the chatbot could recall. This appears to be the beginning of your AI agent. It can now refer to your previous conversations in addition to the previously saved memories to provide answers that seem notably more pertinent and helpful. On X, OpenAI wrote, “New conversations organically build upon what it already knows about you, making interactions feel smoother and uniquely tailored to you.” Users will also have the option to choose not to use the functionality. Of course, you can choose not to participate in this or any recollection at all. In an article about X, OpenAI said, “New conversations organically build upon what it already knows about you, making interactions feel smoother and uniquely tailored to you.”You can go to Settings > Personalization > Memory to turn off the feature. You can switch memory there. Turning it on or off will prevent ChatGPT from remembering anything you discuss in the future. Additionally, you can choose “Manage Memory” to view the memory that is saved or to fully clear it. You have complete control over ChatGPT’s RAM as usual. You can change your settings at any time to stop using memory or previous conversations. By default, you will not be able to access previous conversations if you have already opted out of memory. Just ask in chat if you would want to modify the information that ChatGPT has on you. Use an ephemeral chat if you want to talk without consuming or affecting memory.

Hackers Deploy Neptune RAT via YouTube, Telegram & GitHub in Global Cyberattack

Hackers are spreading a powerful new malware, Neptune RAT, via YouTube, Telegram, and GitHub to steal passwords, and cryptocurrencies, and control Windows PCs undetected. Experts warn of its ransomware, spying, and data-wiping features, urging users to avoid suspicious links and strengthen cyber protection. The Neptune RAT, frequently referred to as the “Most Advanced RAT” (or remote access Trojan) ever, is a new strain of malware that hackers are using to infect vulnerable Windows PCs in a recent onslaught. The goal of this cyberattack is to hold victims hostage while stealing cryptocurrency and passwords. The Neptune RAT is quite sophisticated, according to a Cyber News report, and it can spy on the owner of the device, take over Windows devices, and do a lot more without being discovered by even the most effective antivirus program. The aforementioned malware strain is presently making the rounds on YouTube, Telegram, and GitHub, according to cybersecurity firm CYFIRMA. Similar to other malware strains, Neptune RAT operates on a malware-as-a-service basis, allowing any hacker to utilize it in their assaults for a monthly subscription. Everything you need to know about this new malware that targets Windows computers is provided here, along with some advice on how to protect your computer and data from the Neptune RAT. What can the Neptune RAT do? The Neptune RAT is a very powerful remote access program with a wide range of malevolent capabilities, according to CYFIRMA. A crypto clipper that tracks cryptocurrency transactions and substitutes wallet addresses under the control of attackers, rerouting cash without the victim’s awareness, is one of its most alarming characteristics. Apart from focusing on digital assets, Neptune RAT also has a password-stealing module that can retrieve login information from more than 270 programs, including popular web browsers like Chrome. The stolen data can be used to gain access to financial platforms, compromise social media accounts, and enable more attacks. The powers of the software go beyond simple stealing. One of its components is ransomware, which encrypts files and requests payment to unlock them. The system’s capacity to identify or react to the infection may be diminished if Windows Protector and other antivirus software are disabled. Additionally, Neptune RAT has screen tracking capabilities that let attackers see user activity in real-time. Data exploitation, blackmail, and spying are made possible by this. Neptune RAT contains a data destruction function that enables the attackers to fully erase the compromised system and leave no trace behind if they determine the virus has fulfilled its objective. How can one be safe? Since GitHub, Telegram, and YouTube are now the sites where Neptune RAT is being spread, users may want to avoid these sites as much as possible or exercise extreme caution while downloading files from them or clicking on links. Additionally, buying the best identity theft protection is encouraged as it will assist consumers in recovering money that has been lost due to an assault. These protection plans frequently include insurance, which is advantageous if an impacted user decides to replace their PC entirely.
