The recording also shows how ransomware gangs are always looking for different ways to intimidate the companies they hack. I’m just trying to help you,” the hacker responds, growing increasingly frustrated. “So is that Dragonforce.com?”The hacker then threatens Beth, saying they will start calling the company’s clients, employees and partners. “Excuse me?” the hacker responds.

India now has access to call recording and transcription thanks to Truecaller.

Caller identity company Truecaller has launched its call recording and transcription for paid users in India, the company’s biggest market. The recording feature will be available to premium users on both Android and iOS, with support for English and Hindi transcriptions. In June 2023, the company introduced call recording for premium users in the U.S., and now it is expanding the feature in India. If you are using Truecaller on Android, the app’s own dialer will show a dedicated recording button. The app calls another recording line, and then you will have to manually merge the calls to start the recording.

Telegram is rolling out a bunch of upgrades as part of its January feature drop including “view-once” video and audio messages, the ability to pause recording while sending a video or an audio message, and new read-time controls.

Users can hit the mic icon to start recording and then pull up to tap on the “view-once” icon to allow the recipient to hear the voice message or look at the video message just once. Additionally, Telegram is rolling out the ability to pause and resume recording for voice and video messages through the same menu. Telegram is also adding a way for people to see when the recipient reads your message in one-on-one private chats.
