The cyber thugs based in China used to send an application to their agents in India via telegram, who in-turn used to get them installed on the mobile phones of customers having SIM cards linked with bank accounts. Following installation, the application used to automatically transmit OTP and bank alerts to the Chinese server and grant the Chinese fraudsters remote access to the bank accounts. This would enable them to carry out cyber frauds worth crores. The accounts on which fraudulent activities were carried out happen to be from different states across India. So far, the details of a total of 60 bank accounts have been received. A total of 68 complaints have been registered against this gang from various states across India.

Taiwan warns: These Chinese apps are sending users' data to China
Taiwan's National Security Bureau (NSB) has warning for users of Chinese apps. In an advisory, NSB said that China-developed apps like RedNote (Xiaohongshu), Weibo, TikTok, WeChat and Baidu Cloud pose security risks due to excessive data collection and data transfer to China. The alert reportedly comes following an inspection of these apps carried out in coordination with the Taiwan's Ministry of Justice Investigation Bureau (MJIB) and the Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB) under the National Police Agency. NSB said that the results indicate the existence of security issues, including excessive data collection and privacy infringement. It further warned, "The public is advised to exercise caution when choosing mobile apps." NSB also pointed out that companies operating in China are obligated to turn over user data under domestic laws for national security, public security, and intelligence purposes. So, using these apps can breach the privacy of users. How NSB found out Chinese apps are sending data to China The agency said that it evaluated Chinese apps against 15 indicators spanning five broad categories: Personal data collection, excessive permission usage, data transmission and sharing, system information extraction, and biometric data access. According to the analysis, RedNote violated all 15 indicators, followed by Weibo and TikTok that were found to breach 13 indicators. WeChat and Baidu Cloud violated 10 and 9 of the 15 indicators, respectively. These issues encompassed extensive collection of personal data, including facial recognition information, screenshots, clipboard contents, contact lists, and location information. All the apps have also been flagged for harvesting the list of installed apps and device parameters. "With regard to data transmission and sharing, the said five apps were found to send packets back to servers located in China," the NSB said. "This type of transmission has raised serious concerns over the potential misuse of personal data by third-parties." Ban on Chinese apps across the world Taiwan's warning comes after several nations across the world have banned or restricted certain Chinese apps. In June 2020, India announced ban almost 100 Chinese-made apps, citing national security concerns. In November 2024, Canada ordered TikTok to dissolve its operations in the country. Last week, one of Germany's data protection authorities asked Apple and Google to remove Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot DeepSeek from their respective app stores. The Germany's data protection authourity accused DeepSeek of unlawful user data transfers to China. Several other countries too have announced similar restrictions on DeepSeek.

Chinese Man Caught Cross-Dressing To Cheat In Exam For Female Student
A Chinese man has been caught cross-dressing to take an exam on behalf of a female student. The male student from Zhongnan University of Economics and Law in Wuhan, Hubei province, wore a wig and face mask to impersonate the other student and took the exam at a public venue. While the identity of the man has not been revealed, the woman, surnamed Li, contacted him online to take the Advanced Accounting exam on her behalf, according to a report in South China Morning Post. It remains unclear if any payment was made to secure the service. The man had dressed up as a woman complete with a wig and a hair band and was taking the exam. However, after an invigilator grew suspicious of the man's attire, they called him out. The man was asked to remove the wig but refused to do so. As another student in the hall recognised the man, he fled from the spot. The university released a statement, confirming the incident and further action. Li is facing expulsion from the university for misconduct, as per the regulations. The identity of the male impersonator is currently under investigation by both the university and relevant local authorities. The incident went viral on Chinese social media, with users highlighting the lengths people can go to to succeed in exams in China. "The pressure to succeed in Chinese academia is immense," a user wrote, adding that expulsion for "cheating is a huge blow to her future prospects." 'He wore a wig, face mask and even a headband – the effort was insane," said another. China's educational system is notorious for its fierce competitiveness, where academic success is often seen as the primary determinant of a student's future opportunities.
