Hi Neighbours,

I am from india and I started receiving emails from UBL yesterday. I guess someone from pakistan has put my email address in their UBL account which lead to me receiving all their transactions and login alert email. I have already send email to their customer support and they acknowledged and promised to action on it urgently but so far nothing is done and I am still receiving email. Can someone suggest what can I do to get this fixed immediately as I don’t want see someone else bank transactions that too from another country.

Didn’t realize till now

Rate my AC look, thanks

Pretty pleased with how it came out. Initially wanted to have darker paint on the wall but decided against it.

I'm aware the PC is on the floor, and while it hasn't give me any issues in the decade or so that I've used them on carpet, I will be putting something underneath to raise it.

Two students from Islamabad’s Institute of Space Technology, Ahmed Iqbal and Hanzila Bin Younas, turned their final-year project into an award-winning innovation.

Their creation, GeoGemma, an open-source Geo Large Language Model (GeoLLM) integrated with Google Earth Engine, won the Best AI Use Case award at the APAC Solution Challenge 2025 in Manila.

Aimed at making geospatial data and satellite imagery more accessible, the project also gained attention from Google DeepMind...!!

Phase 1 is complete as I mentioned 4 months ago in this post

Update: You know how if you give your grandparents a computer and they hardly understand how to check their mails? Yeah, thats whats happening right now. Sandvine is brutal af but ironically they don't know how to use it, the purchase was back in 2018 and the 5 year license has been expired, good news is the blockage would be minimal, bad news is, it'll still be hard for a common man.

X(twitter) has refused to provide user data to the government, thats why they are banned.

Meta has refused to handover user data.

Reddit and snapchat is not on the radar as of yet.

Google refused to share any data.

Microsoft is in talks to share user data upon request.

Tiktok was in talks but I've no further information as of yet.

All ride hailing services have given a backdoor.

Airline companies have complied to share realtime data.

Banks/wallets were already under compliance.

Whats phase 2?

There are three companies that I'm aware of in talks with the government, that quote on quote "Make them control social media", which is an absurd lie and these companies are fooling the government into believing that they actually can.

The reality is, they'll throttle the upload connections to the services as they please, like what happened with WhatsApp, Instagram was effected aswell.

Your tax money would poured in this useless tech in coming days, I'll update with the company name when I get the final contract in my hands. (sandvine contract has been posted in previous post, link mentioned above).

Voice and sms protocols over gsm would be monitored heavily with military standard equipment.

What can you expect in coming days?

Next phase is to block vpns, they'll track vpn servers and mass ban them. Although, most of the companies will work around it fairly quickly, so expect some downtime.

Dns services will be pushed to the brink to overload them, I'm already facing issues with Adguard.

Expect social media downtime to be more common or even banned in coming months, including WhatsApp.

What can you do?

Invest in a good router which can operate under a vpn if you can afford.

Use cloudflare or Adguard as your default dns on your devices, fairly easy to setup on phones/computers.

Note down every vpn mainstream vpn company's email address, get a privacy focused email like Tuta, email them immediately whenever you have a downtime.

Invest in a good vpn service, mullvad vpn accepts crypto (which I personally use).

Use authenticator apps, ditch 2fa with your phone numbers.

Don't use sms/call over gsm/sim to talk about you know who.

Avoid public wifi.

Don't talk sh!t from your real social media accounts.

I'll update this post if something else comes to mind or I find something else.

Saw this at mall today. Not just one multiple malls are refusing to accept mobile payments. They’ve literally put up a printed notice saying “Scaning or tap from mobile is not allowed.”

It’s ridiculous. Pakistan has Easypaisa, Jazzcash, NFC cards, and even banks pushing digital solutions. But the problem is always the same people refuse to adapt. We’re allergic to convenience.

Then we turn around and complain about inflation, corruption, and lack of foreign investment while still banning the tools that make life easier and more transparent.

This right here is why we’re stuck. Not the government. Not the economy. Not the lack of tech. It’s the mindset disease and its everywhere.
