Current Affairs: Video conferencing app how much safe for e-learning!
Analysis by Parthapratim Dash || Blog: www.parthapratimdash.in 
  • Always remember: Digital communication is not safe 100%.
  • Question yourself:
  • Which one require for e-learning classes: 
  1. Audio lecture.
  2. Video with audio lecture.
  • Audio lecture and Video with audio lecture in Desktop/Laptop PC, 
  • Follow basic security tips:
  • Make sure you have manually configured your system. 
  • For audio lecture only: Disabled web camera*.
  • Audio lectures and Video with audio lecture in Smartphone/Tablet, 
  • Follow basic security tips: 
  • Make sure you have manually configured your smartphone/tablet.
  • For audio lecture only: Cover completely front and back camera*.
  • Common: Don’t allow app permissions such as: Contact, Location, Phone, Call.
  • After the conference is complete make sure you have denied all permission and make this app to be force stopped or temporarily disabled until the next session.
Awareness: 

  • Don’t login with auto sign-in (using Facebook, Google, etc accounts) to any third party apps or websites.
  • If you have to require a mandatory sign-in to any third party account, then create a new fresh account with email address or mobile number, but use a different and complex strong password for this account (Example: CoviD-2019?=@). 
  • Remember: Don't set easy passwords like your name, phone number. Use multiple & different passwords for each online account. Don't use the same password for Gmail, Facebook, Twitter etc. 
  • Don’t share a meeting/conference id and password or other confidential information to the public view & most importantly don’t post in WhatsApp status, etc, because it can allow unauthorized access. 
  • When accessing a web portal/web app for a conference or other purpose using an internet browser. Make sure your internet browser like- Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, etc  previous browsing history is completely cleared, or use incognito/private mode in your web browser. 
  • Always use the official App. Beware of third-party sources and fake Apps.

 Frequently Asked Question and Answer:
Which App is safe for e-learning from home? 
Depends on requirement, As of my recommendation hosts/institutes/teachers have to use premium conferencing App like ‘Adobe Connect’. It only changed for hosts not for other users. 
Remember: Don’t forget basic Cyber security awareness & safety tips. Be safe. 

 Keynote:
Why Video conferencing features should be excluding is important: Large number of users can join e-learning conference, active users can see other members live video, chances to misuse live footage, and many more information. In one word Privacy can be compromised.

So, moral of the story for this topic: No one App is perfect. Most Apps can store user location, contact, phone identity, etc.

✔ স্মার্টফোনের সমস্ত সেটিংস পরিবর্তন করে ব্যাবহার করুন। 
✔  যেকোনো লিংকে ক্লিক করার আগে ভেবে দেখুন। 
✔  সমস্ত একাউন্টের পাসওয়ার্ড আলাদা এবং কঠিন রাখুন।  
✔  মোবাইল নম্বর পাসওয়ার্ড হিসাবে ব্যাবহার/রাখবেন না।

By Parthapratim Dash
পশ্চিমবঙ্গ - মোবাইল চুরি এবং ছিনতাই এখন একটি সাধারণ ঘটনা হয়ে দাঁড়িয়েছে। প্রতিদিনই কোথাও না কোথাও এই ধরনের অপরাধ ঘটছে, কিন্তু পুলিশের পক্ষ থেকে প্রতিরোধের কোনো কার্যকরী ব্যবস্থা নেওয়া হচ্ছে না। অপরাধীরা নির্ভয়ে তাদের কার্যক্রম চালিয়ে যাচ্ছে, কারণ তারা জানে যে তাদের আটকাতে পুলিশ প্রায়ই ব্যর্থ। কিছু ক্ষেত্রে পুলিশের সক্রিয়তা দেখা যায়, কিন্তু অধিকাংশ সময়ই তা শুধুমাত্র  পিআর এর জন্য।  "নিউজ এটাচমেন্ট সোর্স - আনন্দবাজার পক্রিকা" রাজ্যের বিভিন্ন স্থানে এই ধরনের র‍্যাকেটগুলো গড়ে উঠেছে, এবং এগুলো কার্যক্রম চালিয়ে যাচ্ছে নির্ভয়ে। সাধারণ মানুষ ভয়ে ভয়ে রয়েছে, আর অপরাধীরা তাদের কাজ চালিয়ে যাচ্ছে। দুর্নীতি, অযোগ্যতা, এবং নিষ্ক্রিয়তা মিলিয়ে পরিস্থিতি দিন দিন খারাপ হচ্ছে। পুলিশের কার্যক্রমের ওপর নির্ভরশীলতা কমে যাচ্ছে এবং বাস্তবতা উপলব্ধি করতে হলে সাধারণ মানুষকেই প্রথম পদক্ষেপ নিতে হবে। মোবাইল ফোন চুরি বা ছিনতাইয়ের ক্ষেত্রে, বেশিরভাগ সময় পুলিশ সাধারণ ডায়েরি (জিডি) এন্ট্রি করিয়ে দেয়, যাতে ঘটনাটিকে মিসিং বা হারিয়ে যাওয়া বলে উল্লেখ করা হয়। এতে পুলিশের এলাকার ক্রাইম রে...

The Digital Age: How Vulnerable Are We to Cybercrime?

By Parthapratim Dash
In recent years, India has seen a significant increase in cybercrime activities due to the rapid growth of internet penetration. With the launch of Reliance Jio in 2016, the cost of mobile internet plummeted, making it more accessible to the masses. While this has led to a surge in the number of smartphone users, it has also resulted in a rise in hacking incidents. Before Jio's launch, mobile internet charges were quite high, with 1GB 2G data costing Rs.98/-* and 1GB 3G data pack costing Rs.155/-*. However, in 2023, 1GB 4G data now costs just Rs.2/-*. This has made smartphones and internet usage more affordable for everyone, but unfortunately, many users lack basic knowledge about the good and bad effects of the internet and how to stay safe online. While some efforts have been made to raise awareness about cybercrime in India, they have not been effective enough. Schools and public awareness campaigns are organized only once or twice a year in certain areas, and legal authorit...
