Online Shopping Website Cybercrime Gangs Now Hiding Credit Card Stealer Inside Image Metadata.

In what's one of the most innovative hacking campaigns, cybercrime gangs are now hiding malicious code implants in the metadata of image files to covertly steal payment card information entered by visitors on the hacked websites. "We found skimming code hidden within the metadata of an image file (a form of steganography) and surreptitiously loaded by compromised online stores," Malwarebytes researchers said last week. "This scheme would not be complete without yet another interesting variation to exfiltrate stolen credit card data. Once again, criminals used the disguise of an image file to collect their loot." The evolving tactic of the operation, widely known as web skimming or a Magecart attack, comes as bad actors are finding different ways to inject JavaScript scripts, including misconfigured AWS S3 data storage buckets and exploiting content security policy to transmit data to a Google Analytics Account under their control. Using Steganography to Hide Ski...

IS GREED AND TRIBALISM SWALLOWING ARUA DISTRICT LC V, WADRI SAM NYAKUA ❓.

THE CONCERNED PEOPLE, PLEASE HELP US TO  RESOLVE THE GREED OF CHAIRMAN LCV OF ARUA DISTRICT. OUR CITY HAS BEEN INFECTED BY SELFISH INTEREST. Dear Westnilers, I have decided to bring this topic on Public platform because our failure to do so has severe consequences to our greater Interest. Just few days to the Official opening of Arua City, trouble has engulfed the City project by ugly face of greed showing up. There is a bitter war between Chairman LCV & Municipality Mayor on who will be the interim City Mayor. Naturally, it is the Municipality upgraded to a City though it annexed some areas of the district.  The district remains and ideally its HQ is to be shifted to Vura County. So, the Chairman LCV still remains the same person unless he decides to resign or is removed from Office.  This simple logic is not being understood by our local Political Actors in Arua District. Chairman LCV Mr Nyakua wants to take over as interim City Mayor using a laughable a...

BREAKING NEWS. Iran issues Arrest Warrant for President Trump, Asks Interpol to Help.

The US killed General Soleimani and others in a January drone attack near Baghdad International Airport. It is unlikely Interpol would grant Iran's request as its guideline for notices forbids it from 'undertaking any intervention or activities of a political' nature. [PhotoReuters]. Iran has issued an arrest warrant and asked Interpol for help in detaining US President Donald Trump and dozens of others it believes carried out the drone strike that killed a top Iranian general in Baghdad. Tehran prosecutor Ali Alqasimehr said on Monday that Trump, along with more than 30 others Iran accuses of involvement in the January 3 attack that killed General Qassem Soleimani, face "murder and terrorism charges", the semi-official ISNA news agency reported. Alqasimehr did not identify anyone else sought other than Trump, but stressed Iran would continue to pursue his prosecution even after his presidency ends. Interpol, based in Lyon, France, did not immediately respond to a...

SINISTER ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN SUCCEEDING TO FINALLY DESTROY UGANDA'S EDUCATION.

Uganda government school - Image may be subject to copyright Uganda government school - Image may be subject to copyright Uganda government school - Image may be subject to copyright https://www.facebook.com/yusufosuta Museveni's long pursued scheme of systematically destroying Uganda's formal education has been boosted by COVID-19 pandemic. Early this year, he delivered a terrible blow to the education sector when he imposed his communist oriented so-called Revised Curriculum for lower secondary schools. It was amidst overwhelming dissent against the revised curriculum by citizens, that the COVID-19 pandemic came to the scene. On March 18 2020, he decreed the closure of all the institutions of learning and out of fear for the virus, Ugandans offered him their trust.  Around April, his wife, who also doubles as the Minister of Education, for unknown reasons issued a road-map for the reopening of schools in two weeks' time but the plan was swiftly dropped without...

HON AYAKA ROSE YESTERDAY COMMISSIONED RIVER OKELEA COMMUNITY BRIDGE WORK SHE PERSONALLY FINANCED IN OLUFFE SUB-COUNTY IN MARACHA DISTRICT.

https://www.facebook.com/yusufosuta In her effort to ensure community access to services in her district by her people she has today commissioned a community led initiative to fix the bridge swept away by water after heavy rains that destroyed it earlier this year. This comes after communities had been frustrated in their efforts to seek redemption by their local government.  The bridge that used to serve as a nearby connection for access to social services and facilitate trade between the people of Godria and Abora parishes in Oluffe sub county had taken into a nightmare for women and children who had to bring their produce to Oluffe sub county market.  'Hon Ayaka we are extremely happy for your contribution towards fixing this community bridge, and we as the beneficiary communities are going to provide labour to work on this freely' noted Otima Mark an elder who received the contribution on behalf of communities. Hon Ayaka has promised to lobby for increased fun...

Court has Sentenced a 22-year-old Hacker to 13 Months in Prison for Creating Botnet Malware to Compromise Networks and Computers Globally.

'Satori' IoT DDoS Botnet Operator Sentenced to 13 Months in Prison. The United States Department of Justice 25-June-2020, sentenced a 22-year-old Washington-based hacker to 13 months in federal prison for his role in creating botnet malware, infecting a large number of systems with it, and then abusing those systems to carry out large scale distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against various online service and targets. According to court documents, Kenneth Currin Schuchman, a resident of Vancouver, and his criminal associates–Aaron Sterritt and Logan Shwydiuk–created multiple DDoS botnet malware since at least August 2017 and used them to enslave hundreds of thousands of home routers and other Internet-connected devices worldwide. Dubbed Satori, Okiru, Masuta, and Tsunami or Fbot, all these botnets were the successors of the infamous IoT malware Mirai, as they were created mainly using the source code of Mirai, with some additional features added to make th...

BIOCHEMICAL TESTING GROUND; First COVID-19 Vaccination Trial Begins in Africa.

Africa's first participation in a COVID-19 vaccine trial started Wednesday as volunteers received injections developed at the University of Oxford in Britain, while officials said the continent of 1.3 billion people cannot be left behind. The large-scale trial is being conducted in South Africa, Britain and Brazil. South Africa has nearly one-third of Africa's confirmed cases with more than 106,000, including more than 2,100 deaths. The country late Tuesday reported its biggest one-day death toll of 111. The African continent now has nearly 325,000 cases as countries loosen restrictions under economic pressure from citizens who say they have to feed their families. Shortages of testing materials and medical supplies remain a problem as Africa could become the world’s next hot spot. The pandemic was delayed in Africa “but is picking up speed very quickly,” the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention chief John Nkengasong said Wednesday, with a steep increas...

BREAKING NEWS. WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange Charged With Conspiring With LulzSec & Anonymous Hackers, to Compromise Secrets And Computers World Wide.

The United States government has filed a superseding indictment against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange accusing him of collaborating with computer hackers, including those affiliated with the infamous LulzSec and "Anonymous" hacking groups. The new superseding indictment does not contain any additional charges beyond the prior 18-count indictment filed against Assange in May 2019, but it does "broaden the scope of the conspiracy surrounding alleged computer intrusions with which Assange was previously charged," the DoJ said. In May 2019, Assange was charged with 18 counts under the old U.S. Espionage Act for unlawfully publishing classified military and diplomatic documents on his popular WikiLeaks website in 2010, which he obtained from former Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning. Assange has been alleged to have obtained those classified documents by conspiring with Manning to crack a password hash to a classified U.S. Department of Defense comp...

President Trump Tweets Videos of Black Men Attacking White People, Asks “Where are the Protesters?”.

As protesters demanding an end to police brutality and systemic racism again clashed with authorities outside the White House on Monday night, the president took to Twitter to ask why he didn’t see a different kind of demonstration instead. Above a retweeted video of a black man repeatedly punching a white department store employee, Trump wrote: “Looks what’s going on here. Where are the protesters?” He also retweeted another account that asked “Where are the protests for this?” with a clip of a black man pushing a white woman into the side of a subway car. “So terrible!” Trump added above that video. To critics, Trump’s tweets implied that individual crimes by black men are equivalent to the systemic police violence against people of color that has sparked weeks of nationwide protests. The tweets also come days after Trump repeatedly used racially offensive stereotypes at his Tulsa campaign rally, a preview of the “racially inflammatory messaging” he’s likely to use in his...

USA Suspends Issuing Travel Visas to Burundi Government Officials, Citing Refusial to Deport Burundians Convicted for Criminal Records.

   Burundi's President Nkuruziza and Uganda's President Museveni. US blocks travelers visas from Burundi over deportations. The U.S. government said Friday that it has stopped issuing travel visas to people from Burundi because the country is not taking back citizens facing deportation from the United States. Burundi was penalized with the visa restrictions because the government of the Central African nation has “denied or unreasonably delayed” issuing travel documents needed to repatriate its citizens, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said in a statement. The restrictions cover non-immigrant visas except those issued for government officials traveling on official business. It comes a day after the African nation’s new leader, President Evariste Ndayishimiye, was sworn into office two months early following the abrupt death of his predecessor. “As the leadership changes for Burundi, we’re hopeful for a renewed commitment to cooperation between our nations for the bene...

Hackers Using Google Analytics to Bypass Web Security and Steal Credit Cards.

Researchers reported on Monday that hackers are now exploiting Google's Analytics service to stealthily pilfer credit card information from infected e-commerce sites. According to several independent reports from PerimeterX Kaspersky, and Sansec, threat actors are now injecting data-stealing code on the compromised websites in combination with tracking code generated by Google Analytics for their own account, letting them exfiltrate payment information entered by users even in conditions where content security policies are enforced for maximum web security. "Attackers injected malicious code into sites, which collected all the data entered by users and then sent it via Analytics," Kaspersky said in a report published yesterday. "As a result, the attackers could access the stolen data in their Google Analytics account." The cybersecurity firm said it found about two dozen infected websites across Europe and North and South America that specialized in selling digi...

THE DEPTH OF ILLITERACY IN RURAL VOTERS. HERE IS HOW OUR VILLAGERS MAKE THEIR POLITICAL CHOICES.

I have written, severally, that one of the problems of us Social Media people is that we underestimate the depth of  illiteracy of our population. The problem with being on Social Media and being educated is that we suffer from what they called the curse of knowledge. You assume that everyone knows what you know and therefore they 'automatically get it'. My friend...you don't know our people.  Secondly, I have realised that I think I am one of the very few people who was born in a village...grew up in the village  and so I have a good idea of how majority of people in villages make their political choices....or how they reason and what matters to them. Its a completely different world...and it amazes me how you Urban people think and reason. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT OTHERS ARE THINKING.  We are here talking about NSSF...how many people in the village know what that means...OR even care? It doesnt bother them...they dont want to know...they dont care...those ...
