Anonymous India Brings Down The TRAI Website For Releasing 1 Million Email Ids In Public

Anonymous India takes down the TRAI website earlier today for exposing the email ids of around 1 million people who responded to TRAI for the Net Neutrality Cause

UPDATED : The TRAI website is up and functioning now but still they haven't done anything with the email ids, you can still find the list of email ids on comments page.

TRAI asked the users to fill in the form regarding the Net Neutrality issue in India to get the feedback and reviews of the public for the same. And around million users responded to the same. But it was not at all a legit decision from a government organisation exposing the list of all the users with their emails in public though their website.

As they say, they are watching our every move. Finally, Anonymous India took action in order to protect and safeguard the privacy of around million users of India and attacked the website of TRAI (www.trai.gov.in) earlier today using their ways of DDOS.

You can have a look at the tweets made by the Anonymous India and the public on the anonOpsIndia twitter page

In the evening, the website was finally up and functioning well. But it seemed there is no effect to TRAI of the attack made by Anonymous India & You can still find the list of the email ids on the website of TRAI.

What can the general public expect from such government organization who is not even worried about the users privacy and wish to work for them for the cause of Net Neutrality. This shows that one DDOS attack was not enough for the TRAI. Lets see what action Anonymous India further against TRAI to protect the privacy of the indian public..

Have a look at the tweets after the TRAI website was functioning.

No More Private Profile Pictures on Facebook | Latest April 2015

Facebook has discontinued with the feature of Private Profile Pictures with the new settings and now you can view private profile pics of anyone very easily....

No More Private Profile Pics in Facebook from now onwards. Even if you set your profile picture to 'Only Me' in the Settings Tab of the profile pic, your Profile Picture is still visible to everyone when they click on it. Don't think that it's private now. Facebook has changed their policies or what or may be its a flaw ( i have already reported). But what i think is its done purposely by the Facebook team.

I can't say why they have removed that feature of Private Profile Picture though the option of Visible to 'Only Me' is still there.

The new settings are as such that when you click on the profile picture after visiting the profile of a person who has enabled the Only Me Privacy on his profile pic, unlike before it just opens as usual just you don't get the like section and comment section at the right hand side of the image. Otherwise the picture opens as usual and you can easily download the private profile picture just by right clicking on it, and saving it to the device.

This the private profile pic of one of my friend which i can easily open just by clicking on it

 No comment or like section at RHS of the pic, but i can easily save the pic just by right clicking it

Earlier for a non-geek, the private profile picture won't open only and that guy wouldn't be able to view the picture though a geek would have opened it using some tricks with the Facebook's Graph API. But now may it be a Geek or Non-Geek, its open to all to view the private profile pictures on facebook.

Again Privacy of the users being compromised, that's it. Can't say what Facebook has thought of before doing this change ?? I have already reported it to facebook, let's see if i get a reply and their statement regarding this privacy change (I'm sure i wont get a reply back...lol :D)
