Mumbai: Life Insurance Corporation on Saturday announced an extension of 30 days for payment of premium due in March and April 2020 to mitigate the hardships being faced by policyholders in the wake of COVID-19.
For February premiums, where grace period was expiring after March 22, relaxation is allowed up to April 15, LIC said in a statement here.
Further, it said wherever policies can be revived without any evidence of good health, this can also be done online.
LIC's policyholders can pay premiums through LIC's digital payment options without any service charge.
It also informed that policyholders do not need to register on the website for paying premium but can directly pay by giving basic details.
Premiums can also be paid by downloading mobile app LIC Pay Direct.
Policy premiums are accepted through Net banking, Debit Card, Credit Card and on payment apps such as Paytm, PhonePe, Google Pay, BHIM, UPI among others.

These payments were more than two crore in numbers in 2019-20.

Apple and Google's Covid-19 Tracker Isn't a Privacy Concern, but It Is a Game-Changer


Last week, Apple and Google announced an interesting partnership. Both companies will build technology into their mobile operating systems that will allow for large-scale contact tracing. It's a pretty big deal for two reasons: The first is that the two companies are fierce rivals, but are working together to solve a problem that affects all of us. Second, it might actually work, since the two companies power almost all mobile devices worldwide.
People understandably start to get nervous when they hear their mobile phones could be used for any kind of tracing, especially if they're not sure what that means. The basic concept is you would be able to download an app that would ping off other mobile phones you come into proximity with. 

If you were to later test positive for Covid-19, you could indicate as much on the app, which would then notify the owners of the other devices you came in contact with they were potentially exposed.
Most experts agree contact-tracing is one of the most important factors to "reopening" society. That's because it will allow new cases to be isolated while pinpointing others who might have been exposed early enough that the spread can be limited. 
But contact tracing during the height of a pandemic is almost impossible because it's such a manual process. What Apple and Google are building is a way to do it at scale in an automated manner.
And no, the companies aren't uploading your information to some government server to identify who has the virus. That's the other reason it's so important that Apple and Google are both involved. 
Apple has a reputation for protecting user privacy in a way that not many other companies can claim. It doesn't monetize your personal information by showing you ads based on your activities, unlike Google or Facebook, for example. 
Here's the thing: The Bluetooth technology that Apple and Google are working on isn't that different from what Apple already is using for its Find My service. That service uses Bluetooth to send out signals, even when your device has no service or isn't connected to the internet. 
Those signals are relayed by other close-by devices, which then forward them to Apple's servers. Since the entire system is end-to-end encrypted, not only can't bad guys get access to your location or personal information, not even Apple could identify your device location. 
The technology behind contact tracing works similarly. While devices communicate with each other in order to exchange a "key," that information can only be used to later notify individuals who may have been exposed, and who should be tested. No personal information is exchanged, so no, the government isn't tracking your information (at least not with this technology)

Don't fire, says PM. But where's the money to pay wages, asks industry


Without an economic package from the government, difficult to run operations, say companies...


Despite Prime Minister Narendra Modi asking companies not to lay off staff,

employers across sectors have already started cutting their manpower.
Companies in sectors such as IT, aviation, travel, media and events management have already handed out the pink slips to hundreds of employees.
This is the second time that the Prime Minister has requested the companies to refrain from firing employees. In his March 19 address too, he had made the point.
But on their part, the companies argue that they are struggling to manage the wage bill, especially in the absence of direct economic help from the government.
"We have a monthly wage bill of about Rs 20 crore. Now we haven't produced anything for a month. If this goes on for a month more, how are we supposed to pay salaries," a senior executive from a manufacturing company told Moneycontrol. 
So which sectors have already laid off people?
Aviation: GoAir and SpiceJet have terminated contracts of their expat pilots. Other airlines have cut pay and asked a large portion of their staff to go on leave without pay. Air Deccan has put its staff on sabbatical without pay.
IT/ITeS sector:  Gurgaon-based BPO firm Fareportal laid off over 300 employees. A Pune-based IT firm has laid-off a dozen workers. According to industry estimates, close to 1.5 lakh techies could be out of job in the next 3-6 months. The sector employs about 45-50 lakh people, with the top four players accounting for about 10 lakh of the total workforce.
In the case of BPO, which employs 11 lakh people, close to 30-35 percent of the workforce is expected to let go of the job. The sector saw close to 50 percent of the population interrupted due to COVID-19.
Event management: With events across the country getting cancelled due to the lockdown, a large portion of the employees now find themselves without jobs. Due to halt on production, daily wagers like makeup artists, technicians, spots are all out of jobs. The sector provides employment to around 10 million people directly and 50 million indirectly.
Apart from these sectors, daily wagers and contractual staff across sectors have been off work for nearly a month now. The country saw a mass exodus of migrant labourers from cities, and many of them said their employers have laid them off.
Many sectors had managed to hold on till now, but had warned that if there was no help coming from the government, then layoffs are imminent. These sectors include retail and textile. Overall, retailers may have to let go 20 percent of their employees. It
Needs Government help
Many of the companies are now looking forward to the guidelines that will be released on April 15, hoping that in parts, the lockdown may be eased. And they are also hoping for economic help.
The tweet from Capital Mind founder Deepak Shenoy resonated with the industry and quickly made the rounds of WhatsApp groups. He said:

"PM may have appealed to not lay off people, but where is the cash," said Mohandas Pai, the former Infosys director and Chairman of Manipal Global, said in an interview.

Microsoft Corporation is Planning App Marketplace Upgrades for Windows 10

Friday, 16 January 2015 - 0 Comments



Microsoft is making it easier for developers to monetize their apps when the highly anticipated Windows 10 operating system arrives in 2015, according to Todd Brix, general manager of Windows Apps and Store. The software giant is working to beef up Windows Store, Microsoft's take on app marketplaces like Apple's App Store and Google Play. Despite trailing them in app count and popularity, Windows Store did make some big gains in 2014, revealed Brix in a company blog post.

"We made good progress by both attracting over 30 percent more active users and by exceeding a 110 percent year-over-year increase in app downloads and gross sales," stated Brix. "In addition, the ecosystem has grown, with an 80 percent increase in registered developers and 60 percent increase in app selection year-over-year." Microsoft's mission in the new year is to keep this momentum going and help improve the Windows app ecosystem. - See more at:

"Providing a platform where developers can be successful remains our number one goal as we look to 2015," said Brix. Priorities include enabling app developers to target various device classes and regions, as well as "reducing the amount of time and effort it takes to move from ideas to installs."

To start, Microsoft will continue to pursue carrier billing—the ability to apply app purchases to cell phone bills—in emerging markets. Carrier billing has led to an eightfold increase in average transaction volume in high-growth markets. Currently, Windows Store carrier billing is available in 46 regions, including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, India and Vietnam.

"You will also see us work with carriers to more aggressively promote this purchase [option] to their subscriber base," Brix said. "Carrier billing rounds out a range of payment choices that includes credit cards, Alipay, PayPal and—new this year—app-gifting with digital gift cards (available in Canada, France, Germany, the U.K. and the U.S.) and Bitcoin (U.S. only)."

Microsoft also plans to help developers earn more money from in-app ads.
"We are increasing our focus on in-app advertising to help improve fill rates and grow developer revenue," stated Brix. "The recent release of Windows ad mediation for Windows Phone developers is one example, improving fill rates to over 95 percent and increasing revenue up to 200 percent."
Microsoft will continue to refine the Windows Store user interface to improve app discoverability, he added. Even novice coders can get in on the act.

"Windows App Studio Beta enabled those with great ideas but no development experience to bring their ideas to life," Brix said. "We will continue to enhance this toolset in 2015, integrating new capabilities like the recent addition of TouchDevelop."

Finally, the company plans to continue streamlining the complete Windows Store app publishing process, an effort the company kicked off in 2014 with the shift to Windows Dev Center lifetime registrations. "We have much more work to do to simplify and unify the experience and you can expect the evolution to continue over the coming months," said Brix.

Hacker fakes German minister’s fingerprints from HD photos




Security analysts have always believed that fingerprints are a foolproof replacement for passwords and authentication protocols. However, a new development in this matter has literally toppled this theory and altered the game. When fingerprints are used as an authentication protocol, the single biggest concern is what to do if the fingerprint in question gets copied. This is exactly what has been demonstrated by a German hacker at a recent technology convention.
Jan Krissler, a hacker also known as Starbug, recently showcased some rather interesting news at the Chaos Communication Congress (CCC) in Germany. Interestingly, the CCC happens to be Europe’s largest association of hackers so it’s no surprise that this was the location for such a noteworthy revelation. Revealingly, Starbug demonstrated his technique for stealing fingerprints by simply analyzing a few High-Definition pictures of his target, in this case – German Minister of Defence, Ursula von der Leyen.

According to Krissler, faking these fingerprints was far easier than he thought possible. All he needed were a few close-range photos of his target in order to reverse engineer the fingerprints. He gained these photos from several press releases issued by the minister’s office and another that he took himself from a few meters away. With the help of commercially available software called VeriFinger he was then able to replicate the fingerprints of the Defence Minister of Germany, the country with the world’s 4th largest GDP and a leader in several technological and military fields.

After the demonstration, Krissler jokingly added – “After this talk, politicians will probably wear gloves when talking in public.” While that seems like a logical expectation, we doubt that will be the case. But we sincerely hope that politicians heed this warning and demonstration and take care to avert such cases in this modern age of cyberespionage, international cyberwarfare and other technology related crimes.

Krissler aka Starbug, is certainly not new to the hacking of biometric security and authentication techniques. When the Apple iPhone 5S was released in 2013, he successfully spoofed the highly publicized Apple TouchID sensors within 24 hours. He achieved this feat with the help of a finger smudge on the screen, wood glue and sprayable graphene. However, for his latest hack demonstration, it is scary that he does not need physical access to either a device or a finger. Makes you wonder how secure high-level authentication protocols really are.

A notable workaround for this is for users to not think of biometric security as a replacement for passwords or other authentication. While your fingerprints may be unique to you, the fact is they are not a secret. Anyone who is adequately motivated can easily get hands on your fingerprints through several innovative techniques. Instead, biometric security and fingerprint authentication should be used as a supplement for passwords. Starbug also agreed in 2013 by stating – “I consider my password safer than my fingerprint. My password is in my head, and if I’m careful when typing, I remain the only one who knows it.”

Interestingly, another novel hack technique was also showcased at the conference and this is known as “Corneal Keylogging”. This trick allows a hacker to gain someone’s passwords by simply gaining control of the camera of his smartphone. With this control, a hacker can simply read what someone is typing on the screen by analyzing HD photographs of the reflection of the screen in the user’s eyes. This technique may sound implausible to some, but the secondary cameras or front-facing cameras of smartphones today are strong to make this possible.

So while we all hope for and look towards a safe and secure 2015, advanced hack attacks such as this are constantly being built and showcased in all corners of the globe. It just goes to show that when it comes to security, there is no rest for the wicked.

Windows 10 Preview: The Start Menu Returns

The most obvious thing about Windows 10 is that, yes, the Start Menu is back, and it’s just as welcome as you might expect. The Start Screen was a UI design fail of epic proportions and being able to go back to the familiar pop-up menu is so much more efficient.

Of course, it isn't just that the Start Menu is back. It has also changed. Now the Live Tiles of the Start Screen are embedded within the Start Menu, providing yet another area for shortcuts (along with the taskbar, normal menu items and desktop) to opening your apps. Those Tiles that are actually Live will also show previews of app information, such as a message notification or the day’s weather.

It’s quite a nice addition both visually and because there is the potential there to provide a useful snapshot of your other apps. We’re not quite at the stage of finding it useful yet, but we can see the possibilities.

Things we’re not so keen on are that by default there is both a search button and a search function in the Start Menu right next to each other; that the Control Panel is removed from the list of apps by default; and that the power options are at the top of the menu, tucked away between the Live Tiles and user profile button.

But the search is at least quite powerful now, with results from Bing included along with Windows Store matches and local file matches, and this is a preview so there's plenty of time for Microsoft to tweak and complete the design.

If the Start Menu didn't already, it’s the inclusion of virtual desktops that really marks out how directly Microsoft is trying to please the desktop power users with this release of Windows. It isn't as slick as the virtual desktop integration in Mac OS, but it's a really useful addition.

New desktops can be added by either pressing Windows Tab or clicking the new Task View button. These bring up a new live app-switching interface below which is the option to add new desktops.

Once you've added a new desktop you can, from the same interface, move apps between them and rearrange them. Apps that are open in other desktops are underlined in the taskbar where if you click them it’ll switch to that desktop, which can actually be a little annoying if you just want to open another instance of that app and don’t know the keyboard shortcut.

Another really, really obvious nod towards ingratiating power users is that Microsoft has finally updated the Command Shell, at least a little bit.

Now users can use the familiar keyboard shortcuts of the rest of the Windows interface, with Copy and Paste and Ctrl/Shift cursor based character selection now available.

The most obvious benefit of this is that you can copy and paste complicated command instructions from the web straight into the prompt, which you couldn't do before. Sadly, you still can’t delete a highlighted selection but at least it’s a step in the right direction.
