The 5G network is the next technology which uses by worldwide users. Korea has already rolled out its first 5G network a few weeks back. Malaysia is one of the countries which will realize the 5G network sooner than we thought. Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is organizing the 5G showcase at Putrajaya which will happen around April 18. There are some rumors circulating in the social media which says 5G technology is harmful to health.
However, MCMC is giving assurance that users should not worry about this issue. Professor Dr. Tharek Abd. Rahman, who is the Commission Member of the MCMC says that there is no evidence until now to prove that 5G network technology is harmful to the user. Other than that, he also says according to the current studies the exposure of the Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Field (RF-EMF) is still under the recommended limits as per the guidelines of the International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).
Apart from that, the World Health Organisation (WHO) also concludes that the current evidence does not confirm any evidence of health consequences spotted from the exposure until low-level electromagnetic fields. This statistics are based on 25,000 articles being published over the past 30 years.
In conclusion, with the introduction of the 5G network technology in the world, we would not face any health related issues due to the exposure is at recommended limit only. For more information, you can visit the MCMC microsite that explains about the EMF.

According to them, once the hacker hacks the account, then they will use the account to sent out messages to the followers of the account. You should have received the following message “WOW you are really on here, @The_Nasty_List_848, ranked 100!. The number which is after the underscore changes when each of the users clicks. The only consistent information would be the URL itself as “nastyllist-instatop50.me”.
Once you accidentally or intentionally clicked on the URL, you will be shown a perfect looking Instagram login page. This is where the hacker will start to phish you. If you notice properly, the link which is clicked is not the real link of Instagram. Anyways, you did the mistake by clicking on the link. It’s OK! Don’t worry, we have a solution for you.

Five years ago, Facebook removes the chat service from the Facebook mobile app. With the removal of the service, Facebook forces users to chat using the Messenger app. However, now seems like Facebook might be working on to restore the chat service back into the Facebook app.

However, when she test the Facebook app, she finds Facebook only bring limited chat feature to the Facebook app. Most probably, for now, Facebook would not allow the calling, photo sharing and reactions feature.
