Chinese security firm Qihoo 360 Netlab said it partnered with tech giant Baidu to disrupt a malware botnet infecting over hundreds of thousands of systems. The botnet was traced back to a group it calls ShuangQiang (also called Double Gun), which has been behind several attacks since 2017 aimed at compromising Windows computers with MBR and VBR bootkits, and installing malicious drivers for financial gain and hijack web traffic to e-commerce sites.  In addition to using images uploaded to Baidu Tieba to distribute configuration files and malware — a technique called steganography — the group has begun using Alibaba Cloud storage to host configuration files and Baidu's analytics platform Tongji to manage the activity of its infected hosts, the researchers said. The initial compromise relies on luring unsuspecting users to install game launching software from sketchy game portals that contain malicious code under the guise of a patch.       ...

(Credit: screenshot and Benjamin Crump) A Washington State wrestling coach has found himself without a job after he made a post on social media of him smiling while re-enacting  George Floyd ‘s death and making claims that “race baiters” were making a big deal out of nothing. According to a local CBS affiliate, Thursday the Bethel School District confirmed it had fired a first-year high school wrestling coach  Dave Hollenbeck  following an investigation into a social media post that showed him lying on the ground with a knee on the back of his neck as he smiles for the camera and gives a thumbs-up. George Floyd (Credit: Benjamin) “We have completed our investigation. Dave Hollenbeck is no longer employed by the Bethel School District. His behavior was not consistent with our equity initiatives and nondiscrimination policies,” said district spokesman  Doug Boyles . There’s now no doubt that Hollenbeck’s post was referencing to Floyd, whose death sparked national ...

Last week, application security company ImmuniWeb released a new free tool to monitor and measure an organization's exposure on the Dark Web. To improve the decision-making process for cybersecurity professionals, the free tool crawls Dark Web marketplaces, hacking forums, and Surface Web resources such as Pastebin or GitHub to provide you with a classified schema of your data being offered for sale or leaked. All you need to launch a Dark Web search is to enter your domain name. The volume of stolen credentials on the Dark Web is booming. This week, over 26 million user records, including plaintext passwords, stolen from LiveJournal appeared on a Dark Web marketplace for as low as $35. The present week is likewise sadly marked with a compromise of 31 SQL databases (with 1.6 million rows of client data) from webshop owners. There were 7,098 breaches reported in 2019, exposing over 15.1 billion records, a new worst year on record according to Risk Based Security report. Over 80% of ...

My day of yesterday 27-May-2020 got spoiled when i received a Forwarded Message of Concoted article with full of Grammatical Errors peddled by a Pair of Knave Charlatans claiming solely agitation behind the Successful Mobilisation and Delivery of Relief Items for Victims of Arson in Rikabu Village, Robu Parish, Kijomoro Sub-County in Maracha District. Their Sheer shameful Claimant over what others have Successfully Achieved, never came to me as a Surprise yesterday morning, but what is perplexing me, is, for how long shall dishonest People (Noise Makers) keep on Confusing and Lying to Our People over what other Leaders have Done. Can you imagine, for Justifications, these Shameless People attached One Clueless Document to Backup their attitude of Hijacking Achievements of other true Leaders. Wonders shall never end, kabisa! I read somewhere in their half-baked letter, they are alleging “Sijui sijui, i gave Technical advise”. Like a Coward who fears for his Life and Wealth, ...

           Remember Strandhogg? A security vulnerability affecting Android that malicious apps can exploit to masquerade as any other app installed on a targeted device to display fake interfaces to the users, tricking them into giving away sensitive information. Late last year, at the time of its public disclosure, researchers also confirmed that some attackers were already exploiting the flaw in the wild to steal users' banking and other login credentials, as well as to spy on their activities. The same team of Norwegian cybersecurity researchers today unveiled details of a new critical vulnerability (CVE-2020-0096) affecting the Android operating system that could allow attackers to carry out a much more sophisticated version of Strandhogg attack. Dubbed ' Strandhogg 2.0 ,' the new vulnerability affects all Android devices, except those running the latest version, Android Q / 10, of the mobile operating system—which, unfortunately, is running o...

  Gwanga was born in 1952,in Mubende District, to a father who was a hunter and farmer. Kasirye Ggwanga learned both skills and is still good at both. He attended Katakala Primary School, then he studied at Kibuli Secondary School for his O-Level education. After finishing Senior 4, he joined the Uganda Army in 1972. Following boot camp and initial training, kasirye Gwanga was posted to Arua in the West Nile sub-region, as a map reader, serving in that capacity until 1977. In 1978, he was promoted to the position of artillery officer. In 1978, the Tanzania People's Defence Force (TPDF) invaded Uganda. In 1979 they captured Kampala and deposed Idi Amin. Kasirye Ggwanga surrendered and was taken to Tanga, Tanzania, as a prisoner of war number 17341. In June 1980, president Godfrey Binaisa negotiated the return of the political prisoners to Uganda. They were first housed at Maluku Prison in Mbale District. Later, they were moved to Kirinya Prison, Jinja District. On 7 Octo...

The attack is the latest of many instances of persecution of Christian converts from Islam in Uganda. Some of the burns on Rehema Kyomuhendo, recovering in hospital in Mbale, Uganda. (MSN PHOTO). A Christian convert was admitted with pain at Mbale Regional Referral Hospital this month after her father who is also a Muslim leader burnt her for leaving Islam. Rehema Kyomuhendo says she heard the gospel of salvation in March 2020, following her trip from Mbarara to Mbale District where she had accompanied her father, Sheikh Hussein Byaruhanga Husain. The two stayed at her aunt’s house in Nawuyo village, Mbale District. At about 10 p.m on May 4, Rehema had a lengthy conversation about the Christian faith with a colleague introduced to her by her aunt. “She explained to me about Christ and the way of salvation, and I got convicted and accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior,” Kyomuhendo says. “As she was sharing Christ with me, I was so overjoyed, and my father heard my joy and woke u...

With sincere thoughts and feelings, just kindly wish to congratulate Arua District Covid-19 Task Force, under the vast Administrations of RDC, the LC V, the CAO, the DHOs and the Municipal Officials, who are playing Personal and Team Roles to ensure effectiveness in Services offered to the People of Arua District during all these moments of Quarantine and Lockdown. However, the Public is not fully satisfied with what the Task Force Team rendered, especially the Distribution Process of Food for the People whose Shops have been closed since the effectiveness of the Covid-19 Lockdown.

I personally spoke to some Shop Operators at KKT PLAZA, at HOCKER and some Boda Boda Riders, to find out if they have received Relief Foods from Arua District Cov...

Cybersecurity researchers shed light on an Iranian cyber espionage campaign directed against critical infrastructures in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Bitdefender said the intelligence-gathering operations were conducted by Chafer APT (also known as APT39 or Remix Kitten), a threat actor known for its attacks on telecommunication and travel industries in the Middle East to collect personal information that serves the country's geopolitical interests. "Victims of the analyzed campaigns fit into the pattern preferred by this actor, such as air transport and government sectors in the Middle East," the researchers said in a report (PDF) shared, adding at least one of the attacks went undiscovered for more than a year and a half since 2018. "The campaigns were based on several tools, including 'living off the land' tools, which makes attribution difficult, as well as different hacking tools and a custom-built backdoor."   Known to be active since 2014,...

A discussion that began on a journalist's personal blog has sparked a wider debate on ethics in the age of social media as the lines between journalists' professional work and their personal activities blur. It began when Adam Tinworth, the head of blogging development for Reed Business International, criticised the National Union of Journalists on his blog for still not "getting" social media such as Facebook and Twitter, and for responding defensively to calls to include social media in their training. In a follow-up post, Tinworth noted that an NUJ representative had visited his blog from an email with the subject "effing blogs" (http://bit.ly/blogs2). This turned into an unseemly spat when Chris Wheal, a freelance journalist and the head of the NUJ professional training committee, who had sent the email, criticised Tinworth for not contacting the union first for a comment before publishing his post. "Please consider the implications of y...

If you Abandon, Mistreat and no take Care of your Puppy, the Puppy will go to your Neighbor's Home for Refuge and as the Puppy Grows with time, it will then start Protecting the Home and Properties of your Neighbor. The Puppy will then be Obeying, Loving and Sacrificing to Serve for the Neighbor. The Puppy will Obviously Endeavor and Rate the Neighbor, as the Person who saves Life during Havoc and Stiff Sufferings. Yet, it was your Puppy. Who will be Blamed ❓, the Owner? or the Puppy or the Neighbor?. These are Words of Wisdom from some Elder. These are not in anyway, my words or my opinions. Thanks. Yours Osuta Yusuf.

Wabula! Just like my name, Ma “Osura”. The VOICE OF WESTNILE ORGANIZATION and the Government of Uganda recently donated over SIX Tones of Food to the Arua District Covid-19 Task Force. In space of just One Month, where has the Six Tones of Food disappeared. We can now believe that, this Arua District Office and Arua Municipal Office dominated by Officials mostly from Ayivu, are Bias and not Trustworthy. Whistle Blowers leaked Information that, some of these Ayivu People divided the Foods only for their Relatives and Friends, but not to the intended Beneficiaries; those whose Businesses Lockdown affected and those detained in Quarantine Centers. Further information from Whistle Blowers also indicates that, these Ayivu People have set the Trigger ready to Politically Fight whoever attempts blocking or exposing their Greed ploy of dividing the Relief Items for their Relatives only. I have no fear to spill these after all i Osuta Yusuf is not in anyway intending to contest for ...

The advent of the Covid-19 pandemic and the impact on our society has resulted in many dramatic changes to how people are traveling, interacting with each other, and collaborating at work. There are several trends taking place as a consequence of the outbreak, which has only continued to heighten the need for the tightest possible cybersecurity. Tools for Collaboration. There has been a massive spike in the adoption of Tools for Collaboration as a consequence of COVID-19. Concerns about the coronavirus have caused an enormous increase in remote working, with many organizations requiring or at least encouraging their workers to stay at home—especially when cities, states, and even some entire nations are ultimately into lock down in a bid to spread the stem of the disease. Meanwhile, with millions working from home for many weeks now, there has been a spike in the video conferencing and online collaboration software, many of which are fortunately entirely free, allowing organizations to...

If christians ask you to come and go church,ask him to show you where they have told to go church on sunday? If christians say Jesus is God, ask him to show you where Jesus said "i am God? If christians said Jesus performed many miracles,ask him to interpret John 5:30? If christians said Jesus is the only begotten son of God, ask him to interpret Psalm 2:7? If christians said christianity is the best way, ask him to show you the word"christianity" in his bible? If christians say bible is from God, ask him to show you the word"bible" in the bible. Through this way you can let him know that he is in confusion about what he believe. Happy to be with you. William K.

Remember, early on in the Covid-19 pandemic, the speculation as to how apocalyptic it would be if this disease hit the African continent? I do. There was deep anxiety about what it would mean for countries with lower income populations, dominant but harder-to-regulate informal economies and far fewer healthcare facilities than the UK or Italy. There have been coronavirus mistakes and misjudgments, and deaths, and each one is a tragedy. And no one knows the course the pandemic may take next – the continent, like the rest of the world, isn’t out of the woods yet. But what has also happened is that many African nations, realising early on that large-scale, expensive testing and hospitalisation was not an option for the populations, had no choice but to take a more creative approach. Take the two African countries I have called home – Senegal and Ghana. Senegal is developing a Covid-19 testing kit that would cost $1 per patient, which it is hoped will, in less than 10 minutes, ...

The battle against #Covid_19 is meant to save lives & not to be politicized. Caution therefore goes out to manufacturers not to produce face masks with political colors or symbols as Government will only buy masks that aren’t politically branded & meet Uganda National Bureau of Standards & Uganda National Drug Authority standards.

The main gate at Naval Air Station Pensacola is seen on Navy Boulevard in Pensacola, Florida, U.S (FILE Photo of 16-March-2016 - U.S Navy/Patrick Nicols). The FBI found cellphone evidence linking al Qaeda to the Royal Saudi Air Force trainee who killed three American sailors in a December attack at a U.S. naval base in Florida after cracking his phone open, Attorney General William Barr said on Monday 18-May-2020. The shooter, Second Lieutenant Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, 21, was killed by law enforcement during the Dec. 6, 2019 attack.  He was on the base as part of a U.S. Navy training program designed to foster links with foreign allies.  The Justice Department succeeded in unlocking the encryption on the shooter's iPhone after Apple Inc <AAPL.O> declined to do so, Barr told reporters on a conference call.  "The information from the phone has already proved invaluable," Barr said.  In February, an audio recording purporting to be from ...

As more businesses leverage remote, mobile, and temporary workforces, the elements of business continuity planning are evolving and requiring that IT professionals look deep into the nuts and bolts of connectivity. CISOs and their team members are facing new challenges each and every day, many of which have been driven by digital transformation, as well as the adoption of other productivity-enhancing technologies. A case in point is the rapidly evolving need to support remote and mobile users as businesses change how they interact with staffers. For example, the recent COVID-19 crisis has forced the majority of businesses worldwide to support employees that work from home or other remote locations. Many businesses are encountering numerous problems with connection reliability, as well as the challenges presented by rapidly scaling connectivity to meet a growing number of remote workers. Add to that security and privacy issues, and it becomes evident that CISOs may very well face what m...
