VLC media player blocked in India

The VideoLAN project’s VLC media player, one of the most widely used media player programmes and streaming video servers, is no longer active in India. VLC Media Player was reportedly blocked in India about two months ago, according to a report by MediaNama. No information on the ban has been made public by either the company or the Indian government.

According to some reports, VLC Media Player has been prohibited in the nation as a result of Cicada, a hacker group backed by China, utilising the platform to launch cyberattacks. Security specialists just recently learned that Cicada, as part of a protracted cyberattack campaign, was utilising VLC Media Player to distribute a malicious malware loader.

The country currently blocks access to the VLC Media Player website and download link. Simply put, this indicates that nobody in the nation is able to use the platform for any kind of employment. Users that have the programme loaded on their device appear to experience this. According to reports, all significant ISPs, including ACTFibernet, Jio, Vodafone-idea, and others, have restricted the use of VLC Media Player.

  1. Let me just get straight to the point; I saw your blog and I think you would be a great fit for our company :-). We are currently paying upwards of $70/hour for English translators. We are looking for people who are reliable, hardworking, and willing to work long-term. English fluency is preferred, and I don’t think you should have any problems with this requirement. We are an online based company from North Carolina. Interested? Apply here: https://msha.ke/freedomwithtay

  2. Okay, this might be a little bit random, but I saw your blog and had to ask, are you interested in a translation job? I know I’m a stranger but I felt like doing a good deed today by alerting a couple people that a good position has opened up here: https://bit.ly/TranslationJobsHiring and they pay sometimes even $40/hour. Okay, they won’t always give that amount, I only made around $300 last week, but it’s part time and when times are tight, every little bit helps. Hope it helps, and my apologies if you’re not interested. Have a great day/evening!
