Save your iPhone/Android with this 1 Dollar App

Have you heard of Pegasus spyware— one that can access almost entire data on a phone? No, it’s not random spyware but rather developed by NSO, an Israeli Cyber Intelligence company, for governments. And maybe your iPhone/Android is also being spied on. But a 1-dollar app dubbed iVerify might be a saver for your iPhone/Android. Let’s learn more about the iVerify app in this article.

iVerify App Overview:

What is Pegasus Spyware?

Before heading into the iVerify App, let’s take a dig into Pegasus Spyware. As aforementioned, NSO Group is a cyber intelligence for global security and stability, based in Israel. It is poised to develop apps and software that help government agencies prevent and investigate terrorism and crime. Pegasus is so powerful that it can do zero-click remote surveillance of smartphones. Which is dangerously powerful actually!

Zero-click here refers to a method that takes advantage of vulnerabilities in software, operating systems, apps, networks, or even hardware. So, it can basically access the entire data of your smartphone easily, if your government plans to do so!

Pegasus Spyware NSO Group

Although NSO only sells it to authorized governments, reports have found it to be used against human rights activists and journalists. To sum up, it’s a dangerous tool that can spy on anyone’s phone easily. Plus, Meta Platforms sued NSO under the United States Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, back in 2019. Likewise, we have Apple filing a lawsuit against NSO in the U.S. and NSO is also on the Entity List for acting against U.S. national security and foreign policy.

iVerify App- a One Dollar App

Apple has implemented several features aimed at detecting compromised devices. But this iVerify App which just costs one dollar might be an even more effective and quicker way to find out whether you have been the target of Pegasus Spyware or not. iVerify is currently offering a subscription-based service to enterprises and other organizations, with continuous scanning support. But you as an individual smartphone user can also download the app and do a scan.

The app is available in two formats: iVerify Basic and iVerify EDR.

The former is for individuals while the latter is for enterprises.  iVerify is a company based in New York that specializes in mobile security solutions.

Spam calls situation in Nepal, and What are our telcos doing about it?

Spam calls situation in Nepal, and What are our telcos doing about it?

With access to a smartphone for almost everyone, Spam Calls are also on the rise duping many innocent people every day. Gen Z and millennials are less likely to be safe from getting tricked while it’s not the same for others. And what are Nepal Telecom and Ncell doing about it? Here in this article, we’ll talk about everything about spam calls and ways to be safe from spam calls in Nepal.

Spam Calls in Nepal

OTP Scams

The most notorious spam calls right now are the banking and digital wallet ones, going around some years for now. What happens here is the scammer pretends as a bank/digital wallet representative and asks for an OTP code for fake purposes. If you provide that OTP number, then, it’s like handing over the keys to a thief. They can then change your password, and log your bank/wallet account on their phones. And their target is pretty obvious— your hard-earned money!

OTP Scams in Nepal

Lottery Scam Calls

As a Nepalese, having Viber/WhatsApp on your phone is very common. These instant messaging apps are everyone’s favorite platforms to get connected to our family, and friends and even for office work. Due to a huge user base, WhatsApp and Viber have also become hotspots for scammers. You might have at least gotten a spam/message once on these platforms. Most of the scam calls are done via international numbers, alluring you a prize money for a competition, you never ever participated in. Especially, the “Kaun Banega Crorepati”  WhatsApp scam has duped so many innocent people. Making them deposit money in the scammer’s account as the preliminary fees to get the prize money and whatnot! And their money goes to the scammer’s account.

Employment Scam

Another common scam going on these days is the employment scam calls. It can be on text messages too. Scammers usually target those looking for a job and provide enticing offers like handsome salaries and pay rates. Here as well, they take fake registration and processing fees and the next you know, your money is gone! In some cases, the scammer can also hook someone for a week doing online tasks and paying no money when it’s the payment time.

How to identify spam calls?

  • Using TruCaller App: If you have the TruCaller app, it can detect a possible scam call. So, you don’t fall into the scam trap.
  • Unsolicited Calls: If you get an out-of-the-blue phone call from another part of the globe with an unknown number, then, you should just avoid taking the call or simply cut it. It’s most likely to be a scam call anyway.
  • Requests for personal information: Duping oneself as a bank/government representative and asking for all your personal details is too fishy. You can term it a scam call right away. Bank or such personnel never ask for personal info such as passwords, OTP, and other details.
  • Fake tech support: This one is the most notorious one when you see a pop-up ad showing phone numbers of reputed tech support and make a call on the phone. Sometimes, they can also directly call you saying there’s a virus on your phone/computer and other reasons.

Airtel launched AI-powered spam detection

Gazing at our neighboring country, Airtel has already begun providing an AI-powered soam call detection feature. It can flag suspicious calls and SMS in real time, warning the users about a potential scam. Airtel is using dual-layer protection with filters at the network and IT systems layers. It relies on the usage pattern, frequency, call duration, use of suspicious URLs, and other parameters to detect a scam phone call. Similarly, Reliance Jio and Vodafone Idea have also commenced the service.

Airtel Spam Fighting Network

Do we have any AI-powered spam detectors in Nepal?

The answer is no. Sadly, both telcos, NTC and Ncell haven’t implemented any AI-powered Spam detector. Nor have we heard of any such plans in the news. Here, the Nepal Telecommunications Authority as the regulatory body should develop a mandatory policy for implementing such spam call detectors in Nepal.

It’s high time, we require powerful spam detectors as smartphone usage is surging as well as the number of spammers. Plus, educating our parents and those unaware of modern technologies seems also very important. Some digital wallets and banks have already begun sharing awareness against OTP and similar scams in Nepal. Most importantly, the telcos should bring spam/scam detection technology to Nepal.

Apple Watch Price in Nepal [Updated 2025]

Smartwatches are one of the most trending gadgets right now. And there is one name that really stands out from the rest in this segment — Apple. Apple Watch is the first choice for most individuals looking for a premium smart wearable even in Nepal. So today, we will be discussing the availability and the latest Apple Watch price in Nepal.

Where to officially buy an Apple Watch in Nepal?

Here, Apple Watch SE (2022) is currently the most affordable option in Apple’s smartwatch portfolio in Nepal. It’s the 2nd generation of SE, but it isn’t that different from its predecessor. It still sports the same squarish design along with the digital crown and a side button on the right frame.

Moreover, the smartwatch is powered by the Apple S8 chip that’s also used in the Series 8. And like the latter, the Watch SE (2022) can also detect car crashes and connect you to emergency services or emergency contacts. It doesn’t miss out on all health-tracking features either.

Now you can finally make a call using Gemini without unlocking your phone!

Previously, when you asked Gemini to send a message or make a call you had to unlock your phone first. But now it lets you make calls and send texts without even unlocking your device. In this article, we’ll explore this new feature from Google and show you how to use it.

Gemini’s new feature

Google has introduced a new option called “Make calls and messages without unlocking” in the Gemini settings. As the name suggests, this feature allows you to make calls or send messages while your phone is still locked. It’s currently available in the beta version of the Google app. Once you activate this feature, you can request Gemini assistant to call or text someone without the device locked.

How to use this feature

There are just a few simple steps to follow and you can get this feature:

  1. Open your phone’s settings.
  2. Navigate to Gemini Settings.
  3. Find the “Gemini on Lock Screen” option.
  4. Turn on “Use Gemini without unlocking” and enable both the “Phone” and “Messages” options.
  5. That’s it!

Final thoughts

While this feature is undeniably helpful, it does come with potential privacy concerns. Normally, the extra steps needed to unlock the phone help to protect the information. With this new feature, however, someone could ask Gemini to make a call or send a message without your knowledge, which might feel unsettling to those who prioritize safety. For privacy-conscious users like me, this may not seem like the best choice.

An SS7 attack is a security vulnerability that exploits weaknesses in the Signaling System 7 (SS7) protocol, allowing attackers to intercept data, eavesdrop on communications, track locations, and steal sensitive information. In this article, I’ll explain SS7 attacks in detail and offer tips on how to stay aware and protect yourself.

SS7 Attack Overview

Starting with the definition, SS7 (Signaling System 7), is a set of protocols that telecommunications networks use worldwide to manage and route phone calls, text messages, and other services. It’s more like behind-the-scenes technology that makes communication possible, even between networks in different parts of the world.

However, SS7 was developed in 1975, so you know it was not designed with the modern security mindset. As a result, the system has many weak points/loopholes that attackers can exploit which is basically SS7 attack.

How do SS7 attacks work?

To launch an SS7 attack, an attacker typically needs access to the SS7 network, or to a part of it. This is why in most cases insiders with knowledge of the SS7 infrastructure are involved with facilitating these attacks. So trusted from a telecom company who has access to SS7 can sell that access to a malicious actor. In this case, the attacker does not need to break into a telecom company, they can use the SS7 protocol directly to conduct attacks.

Other than that telecom companies use gateways to connect their SS7 networks to external networks. These gateways can be a weak point and if an attacker gains access to these, they can easily access the SS7 network and exploit the weaknesses in the protocol.

Last but not least, telecoms trust one another when connected to the SS7, and not all companies have high network security. In such cases, hackers make one of these companies a target, attack the whole system, and access the SS7 network.

What after that?

If the SS7 protocol of the communication channel you are connected to is a victim of the SS7 attack, the hacker could easily steal any of your information. With that I mean intercept call and text messages, track your real-time location or prevent you from receiving phone calls and text messages.

How to protect yourself?

By far I have told you about the attack, now let me explain to you the ways you can protect yourself. To be honest, you cannot really stop the SS7 attack from happening but there are several steps you can take to protect yourself and minimize risk:

  • Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Always enable 2FA on your online accounts to add an extra layer of security. If possible, use apps like Google Authenticator or Authy instead of relying on SMS-based 2FA, which can be intercepted via SS7.

  • Avoid Public Wi-Fi: Avoid using unsecured or public Wi-Fi networks, especially when conducting sensitive activities such as online banking. Public networks are often easier for attackers to intercept.
  • Keep Your Software Updated: Regularly update your phone’s software to patch known vulnerabilities. While individual phone updates may not directly address SS7-related issues, keeping your software up to date is still an important security measure.
  • Use a VPN for Added Security: When using mobile data or Wi-Fi, consider using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to encrypt your internet traffic. This adds an extra layer of protection and helps prevent unauthorized interception.

Conclusion

Lastly, the SS7 system has a lot of flaws and an attack on one of these weak points is the SS7 attack. While you can not stop this from happening you can protect yourself by some of the ways like 2FA, avoiding public wi-fi, timely updating software, using VPN, and more. Stay alert, stay safe!

iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max Price in Nepal 2025 [Updated]

On September 7, 2022, Apple announced the new iPhone 14 series at the “Far Out” event making iPhone 14 Pro the successor of iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max the successor of iPhone 13 Pro Max. However, because of the import ban, the iPhone 14 series only made its way to Nepal in December 2022. The flagship offerings have undergone multiple price drops. So, let’s go over the specifications, features, availability, and latest official price of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max in Nepal.

iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max Overview:

Design

The highest-end iPhone 14 Pro models bring some of the most significant changes to iPhones in recent years. First off, we now have a new front design for iPhones. Apple has replaced the iPhone 13’s large bathtub notch with a pill-shaped cutout on the Pro models. And the most exciting aspect is that the notifications and alerts can make use of this notch with a feature called Dynamic Island.

Apple iPhone 14 Pro, 14 Pro Max Display

For example, when using Face ID, the authentication widgets gradually expand and contract from the pill. Similarly, when you play music, you will have the album art on the top and have the timer sit next to the notch. This is certainly a cool idea to turn an eyesore into something that’s useful. And it sounds fun too.

Moving on to the screen, the standard Pro model has a 6.1-inch panel, while the 14 Pro Max flaunts a 6.7-inch display.  Except for the size, both models feature similar display features. It has Ceramic Shield protection, ProMotion 120Hz refresh rate, HDR, and a P3 color gamut.

Up to 2000 nits of max brightness!

The iPhone 14 Pro model’s brightness has also been increased to 2000nits, making it the brightest display on the market right now. Apple has also included always-on display (AOD) support for the first time ever on iPhone. This will take advantage of iOS 16’s new lock screen.

Design-wise, apart from the larger camera bump and redesigned notch on the front, it remains unchanged for the most part. Apple has provided a stainless steel build, glass back and IP68 certification for protection against dust and water.

Performance

Furthermore, this year’s iPhone 14 Pro models pack Apple’s all-new A16 Bionic chip. This new 6-core CPU has two high-performance cores and four high-efficiency cores, resulting in 20% lower power consumption than the competition. This translates to longer battery life than previous models.

Apple claims up to 29 hours of video playback time with the 14 Pro Max and 23 hours with the 14 Pro. These iPhones, as usual, support Qi wireless and MagSafe wireless charging. If you prefer a wired medium, you can recharge their batteries with a Lightning cable that transmits 20W of power.

Connectivity

In terms of connectivity, both devices support 5G. And interestingly, US models of iPhones will now only support eSIM. The Nepali variant of the iPhone 14 Pro series will have one physical SIM and one eSIM. With both NTC and Ncell launching eSIM in Nepal, users can finally enjoy dual SIM on their iPhones. Likewise, United States and Canadian users also use the satellite-based Emergency SOS feature, but this feature will not be available for the Nepali market as of now.

iPhone 14 Series Satellite Connectivity

For starters, it is an emergency messaging service that uses communication satellites to deliver messages when you are out of cell signal range. The phone’s antennas, along with specialized software, will assist you in connecting your phone to satellite frequencies. You will then be able to send messages or contact an emergency service.

This technology allows users to manually share their location with Find My via satellite. After Apple rolls out the service in November it will be free for two years. However, it is still unknown how much it will cost after that.

Speaking of emergencies, a new Crash detection feature has also been added. It detects impacts using sensors and automatically connects the person wearing it to emergency services, relaying their location information. It will also notify the person you saved as an emergency contact of the status.

Cameras

In terms of optics, Apple has now increased the resolution of the primary lens from 12MP to 48MP. In addition, its wide camera now supports a quad-pixel sensor, which improves low-light performance.

iPhone 14 Pro Max Cameras

For most photos, the sensor will take 12-megapixel binned photos to maximize light capture. This also allows Apple to crop the sensor in a variety of ways, allowing for true 2x zoom at a focal length of 48mm. The new sensor even optimizes details in Apple’s ProRAW format, which could result in an improved photography experience.

The new ultrawide camera also improves macrophotography and provides a 3x improvement in low light. Apple has also enhanced the flash on the iPhone 14 camera system, making it twice as bright and responsive to photo focal length.

For videography, you can now shoot 4K videos at 30fps and 24fps, even in cinematic mode. The new Action mode, on the other hand, allows you to shoot videos that are incredibly smooth and stable without the use of gimbal stabilizers.

Rest of the specs

Aside from that, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 are supported for wireless connectivity on the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max. NFC is also supported for contactless payment. Both devices will be available in Space Black, Silver, Gold, and Deep Purple with up to 1TB of storage. 

Warranty and MDMS for iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max in Nepal 

Purchasing the iPhone 14 Pro series from official channels is automatically registered in MDMS. Likewise, you also get benefits like one one-year warranty on the phone, a six-month warranty on the battery, and one-time breakage insurance for one year.
