The DNI is a document as important as dangerous is to share it with third parties without taking concerns. Surely we have all ever faced someone, whether a person or establishment, who asks us for a copy of the ID to, for example, complete a reservation or a purchase. It is an extended practicebut not sure. The consequences can be disastrous, so it is recommended edit the document Before sending it. There are several optionsbut This tool It promises more security and put it more difficult for the IAS for the modest price of zero euros. The most interesting thing is that, although it works through the browser, there is no cloud in between. Everything works at home. His name: Saferlayer. “Hey, the copy of the ID …”. A scammer can use our ID to commit crimes (such as impersonation of identity), access to an betting house or ask for a loan in our name. Nothing good, of course. Therefore, it is important that if we are forced to share a photocopy of the DNI we do it prior edition. This type of DNI -related scams They are relatively known on the purchase and rental platforms. The lack of supply, the enormous demand and despair to find a floor can make, with the rush, let’s forget to take the necessary precautions and we will find two negative things: that the announced floor did not exist and that a total unknown has Our ID. The general recommendation is never to send a copy of the DNI or passport without editing What is the problem? Not everyone knows, wants or can use dedicated tools like Photoshop. Pixelar an image or a piece of an image It is very simple (and not as sure as it seems). Also add text or a watermark, but you have to know. Not only that, but these water marks can be edited and removed afterwards and leave the image as if nothing had happened. The solution: a dedicated tool. Carlos Sánchez, Head of Product in Real Madrid, and his “Compi de Side Projects“Guido Fioravantti, got to work after Carlos had to send a copy of his email documentation. In telephone conversation with Xataka, Carlos Sánchez explains that” you take any traditional water brand and pass it through some tools for some tools Specialized artificial intelligence, you’ll see that they take it off in seconds. What we wanted was to avoid that. “ After several tests and iterations, they found a “water mark that covers the entire document, which deceives the AI; makes it difficult to differentiate the water mark from the background image, so when you try to remove it, load it is loaded part of the document and is proof that it has been manipulated in some way. “ Copy of the original ID (above) and edited with Saferlayer (below) | Image: Saferlayer The water brand. It consists of a wave pattern with a degraded one that goes from fuchsia to green. “This has been a very proof and error process,” explains Carlos. “In that process we detected that this undemed undulating pattern, that flag effect waving, made it difficult for the AI. These color changes throughout the pattern also complicate it. In the end, we had to find the balance between whatever Very difficult to remove for AI, but also that it was readable, “he says. For Carlos, it was important that it was “evident to the person generated by the document and for whom he receives that there is a watermark that can be read, especially so that the person who receives it does not have incentives to use it for purposes Fraudulent “. This is the document edited with Saferlayer when we pass it through one of the many existing tools to eliminate the water mark | Image: Saferlayer, Xataka Everything at home. One of Saferlayer’s keys is that It works at homenothing leaves the browser. The image we are going to edit does not climb any server. This can be easily verified with the inspector of the browser itself or, simply, adding the Webapp to the home screen and putting the mobile in plane mode. We will verify that it continues to work without problem. When you upload an image, we simply have to specify the use that the copy has, for example, “Valid copy only to confirm the ABCDE hotel reservation.” Once this is done, the tool is responsible for adding the watermark. It is practically instantaneous. The tool works with all types of documents in image format (JPEG and PNG), but not with PDFs. Water brand detail | Image: Xataka A success. The tool was launched on Sunday afternoon and spread mainly Through x. It soon went viral and that can be seen in the figures. As Sánchez confirms us, “right now we are doing a water mark every nine seconds.” To the elderly, the idea of ​​the creators, their vision, is to develop a tool that allows the “total traceability of the document. That allows the individual to protect their document add a water mark, but we also have the idea of ​​covering the other part , to the company that receives the document and wants to make sure whether it is legitimate or not. ” In Carlos’s words, “we would like to evolve this to verify that the documents that have Saferlayer water mark have been manipulated in some way, or if it is the water mark as it has been generated by the tool.” “Right now we are doing a water mark every nine seconds” In that sense, Carlos tells us that a hotel in the center of Madrid has contacted them because he was “very interested in exploring tools that facilitate these processes (in reference to the new lodging record) since it generates a brutal administrative burden and makes Check-in the process more uncomfortable for customers. “According to Carlos, the hotel wanted to talk to them to see if Saferlayer could” potentially help them. “ … Read more

Mobile app, Internet search and free images generation

In his attempt to compete with Openai Chatgpt, the European Startup Mistral AI launched in February its chatbot le chat. But, for some reason, it was only available on the web and its functions were limited. That has just changed with its arrival to iOS and Android, as well as novelties to attract competition users. Speed ​​as a flag. In the world of AI chatbots, users have a wide range of options. From the proposal developed by the company led by Sam Altman to Copilot Microsoft, Claude de Anthropic or Deepseek. In Mistral AI they know well, and they wanted to move token so as not to lose positions in this competition. The main trick of the renovated le chat is the performance, which works with “the most performance and lower latency” models. ” As we can see, the company specifically says what a language model is under the hood of its chatbot, but we know that Develop products as Mistral Large, Mistral Small, Mistral Edge and Codestral. This underlying technology is complemented with an experimental characteristic called Flash Answers whose objective is to provide answers in record time. The promise that its speed is better than that of “any other assistant.” It is important to note that we cannot use Flash Answers unlimitedly since it has limits of use for all plans. Tell ‘Hello’ to the search on the web. Le chat is also updated with the possibility of searching on the web, something that most of the alternatives have already incorporated. The knowledge of the models has a temporary limit, so if we want to access updated information we can ask the chatbot to perform an internet search. Sometimes, Le Chat will use this function automatically, but in certain cases we must specify in our order to use the search function. Mistral AI wanted to give this novelty a plus by adding a section called “Fuentes”, which will tell us where the information has come from and will provide us with the original links. Code vision and execution capabilities. Le Chat can also analyze images and documents thanks to the vision capacity of his models. In this case, we can share from a photograph to a PDF document and ask you related questions. The chatbot also includes a code interpreter for programmers. Image generation. There are several models that give life to Le Chat’s functionalities. One of them is Flux Ultra, which will allow us to create quite realistic images. At least that is the promise that the company itself has made, and holds it with a comparative picture of images generated by Grok, Chatgpt and its own chatbot. Memories, Le Chat’s memory. At this time it is not available, but a novelty called “Memories” should arrive soon, which is learning things like our tastes and preferences. It is something like the chatgpt memory, which allows you to know the user to provide better answers over time. Mobile application. The European chatbot, which since its launch has been available only on the web, now has mobile application. You can download it for free On iPhone through the App Store And on Android from Google Play. Cheaper than competition. Le chat has three levels. The free level, as we say, offers access to the “The latest Mistral Models”, Web Search, File Load, Data Analysis, Image Generation and Flash Answers. The disadvantage? There are limits of use that are more generous in paid plans. The PRO level costs 14.99 euros per month and has “unlimited” access to the best performance model and web navigation. It also arrives with “unlimited” messages, an “extended” use of news function, advanced data analysis and image generation. It also offers the possibility of not sharing data with Mistral. There is also a Team level of 24.99 euros per users per month. This is a company -oriented version that offers live journalistic information with AFP news, file loading, advanced data analysis, centralized billing and administration and dedicated technical support. Conversations are not shared with a default Mistral. Images | Mistral ai In Xataka | Amazon lost the AI ​​train, but wants to recover it. The new Alexa with ia will arrive this month to try

In the case of Android, we are quite accustomed to the fact that occasionally Some type of malware in Play Storebut in Apple’s application store this is not common. For the first time, a malware capable of reading screenshots has been found in App Store. Is, According to Kasperskythe first case detected of an app published in APP Store capable of using technology to extract image text using Google technology. The Antivirus company has explained that this malware is part of a campaign that sought to attack users to find cryptographic keys. The severity of the matter comes from the distribution method: applications infected with both iOS and Android. In the case of Android, these apps exceeded 240,000 downloads. These apps were varied and did not follow a thematic pattern. Some were “Chat AI”, other Delivery apps, others of messaging … Some of these applications had thousands of downloads in the Apple application store. What was its operation? In both cases, the same. Apps executed technology OCR of Googlea Google Cloud solution capable of recognizing text automatically. Once we gave apps gallery permits, they were able to look for text in our images and send it to the server. Thus, the attackers were made with cryptocurrency wallet passwords or with phrases and recovery codes of any app. From Kaspersky they affirm that “they cannot confirm with certainty that the infection has been the result of an attack on the supply chain or a deliberate action of developers.” Similarly, they point out that there may still be apps with this malware available in application stores. As we always indicate from Xataka, it is crucial not to give gallery permits to apps in which we do not trust 100%.
