Security firm Kaspersky said that at least 367 users transferred over $120,000 or roughly ₹90 lakh to hackers in Bitcoin before Twitter could plug the cryptocurrency scam that hit several prominent public profiles. The official accounts of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and others requested donations, offering to send $2,000 for every $1,000 sent to a bitcoin address. Twitter said it was a "co-ordinated" attack targeting its employees "with access to internal systems and tools" and that the investigation was still ongoing. Earlier, the microblogging platform had to stop several verified accounts marked with blue ticks from tweeting altogether.

These include audio stories, a daily audio briefing called &ldquo;Apple News Today&rdquo; and expanded local coverage. Apple said that its premium subscribers in the US will gain access to audio versions of longer stories from magazines and newspapers such as Esquire, TIME and The Wall Street Journal. The weekday morning audio news program will feature highlights of some of the "most fascinating stories in the news" and will be available to both free and paying users. Along with audio stories, Apple is also adding new local and regional news outlets for readers, starting with five metro areas in the United States.

Netflix is reportedly testing a new interface for televisions, that aims to make better use of the larger screen real estate on offer. The new interface reportedly gets rid of the big title and description, and instead makes way for large cards with snippets of information that users can scroll through in a carousel. The current interface for Netflix was introduced in mid-2018, and has received tweaks over time.

YouTube is officially bringing back high quality video streaming to mobile devices in India, after initially limiting quality to 480p at the beginning of the lockdown in India in March. The streaming giant had restricted resolution to preserve Internet bandwidth, but has now lifted that restriction on mobile devices as long as the user is connected to WiFi. While mobile data users will still be limited at 480p, reports speculate the restriction could be lifted soon.

The watchdog said TikTok had collected the data of children under the age of 14, without legal consent from their guardians, which it then stored on third-party servers. TikTok has said it regrets not informing users of when their collected data was outsourced to a third party for storage, and that it will improve in this regard.

Billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates are among several high-profile individuals targeted by hackers on Twitter in an apparent Bitcoin scam.

The tweets were deleted just minutes after they first were posted. All verified Twitter accounts marked with a blue tick have now been stopped from posting any tweets, and there are reports that password reset requests are also being denied. Twitter said it was looking into the incident.

The Chinese government has strongly opposed the UK's ban of Huawei's 5G kit, calling it a "groundless" move. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman added Beijing would "take measures to safeguard" the "legitimate interests" of Chinese companies. The US, meanwhile, has welcomed the move and announced new restrictions against the firm. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the US would curb travel access for some of Huawei's workers. The UK on Tuesday announced a ban on the purchase of Huawei's 5G kit and said all existing equipment by the Chinese technology giant be stripped out of mobile networks in the UK by 2027.

Chinese smartphone maker Oppo has unveiled its 125W Flash Charge technology that it claims to fully charge a 4,000 mAh battery in 20 minutes--and up to 41 per cent in 5 minutes. Oppo says the phone uses double-6C cells with &ldquo;breakthrough battery ratio,&rdquo; while the charger benefits from improved power density and uses USB-C at both ends of the cable. The company claims to have developed the fastest wireless charging system as well. Its new 65W AirVOOC tech can wirelessly charge a 4,000 mAh battery in 30 minutes, which is even faster than any currently available wired solution.

A European Union court on Wednesday ruled in favor of technology giant Apple and Ireland in its dispute with the EU over $15 billion that is roughly Rs. 1.11 lakh crores, in back taxes. The Luxembourg-based court said that Apple does not need to pay the money called for by the EU Commission. The EU Commission had claimed that Apple had an illegal sweetheart tax deal with Irish authorities. Even though taxation remains under the authority of its member countries, the EU is seeking to create a level playing field among the 27 nations by making sure special deals including ultra-low tax rates with foreign companies, like the one between Ireland and Apple, are weeded out. The Trump administration has said that the EU is unduly targeting US companies. The ruling comes at a time when tax income for EU nations is especially welcome because of the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic

Samsung Galaxy M31s, the successor to the popular Galaxy M31 smartphone, is tipped to launch in India later this month for about ₹20,000. News agency IANS reported that the Korean tech giant&rsquo;s next midranger will come with its proprietary Super AMOLED Infinity-O display. Other specifications include a 6,000 mAh battery and 64MP quad rear camera setup. The GalaxyM31s was spotted on benchmarking website Geekbench last month with an Exynos 9611 SoC and 6GB of RAM.

Speaking at the company's annual general meeting, RIL Chairman confirmed that Google and Jio will collaborate to make a high quality, low cost 4G smartphone. "Jio is determined to make India 2G-mukt," said Ambani. Ambani said, Reliance has sold 100 million Jio Phones till date, but there are many feature phone users waiting to upgrade to a conventional smart phone. He added Reliance can fill that gap by designing an entry level 4G or even a 5G smart phone, at a fraction of the current cost. The smartphone that will be built jointly by Google and Jio will run on the Android Operating System. &ldquo;People in India no longer have to wait for technology to come for you. Smartphones and affordable data have made it possible for a billion Indians to come online. We have never been more hopeful about India&rsquo;s future,&rdquo; Google CEO Sundar Pichai said in a video message.

According to Sensor Tower, Apple has removed more than 2,500 mobile games from its China App Store in the first week of July. This is four times as many as in the same period in June and comes after the publishers failed to submit a government-issued licence number to Apple that allows them to offer in-app purchases. Notable games removed from China's App Store in July so far include Supercell's farming hit Hay Day and Nonstop Chuck Norris.

Lenovo has teased that its upcoming gaming smartphone will come with a 144Hz refresh rate. The settings page also mentions Snapdragon 865 chipset, paired with 6GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB of UFS 3.0 storage. There will be a 5,000 mAh battery with support for 90W fast charging. Other specs include dual speakers with 65mm drivers, uEngine with dual linear motors for haptic feedback and a faster 270Hz touch sampling rate.
