When i heard of the unfortunate death of Isaac Ssenyange alias Mando Zebra, Uganda's boxer and former captain of the Bombers. I telephoned his wife who narrated to me the events in detail. Zebra was an NRM supporter, and was mobilising for us so well. He was also training many youth in the ghetto and giving them hope in their search for meaningful life. Indeed, Zebra was meant to come and see me when he was killed. Zebra's wife told me people in police uniform came to pick Zebra but he jumped over the wall and could have met another group who shot him. At first I thought they were thugs disguising in uniform, but as I continued investigations, I found out that Zebra was killed by security personnel. This is sad and devastating and I AM VERY SORRY about this. I will keep on this case and will bring every finding to the knowledge of his family and the murderers will be dealt with accordingly.  I AM SO SORRY. #M7NewYearAddress.

        Muhoozi tells Bobi Wine: you’re not a soldier, we’ll beat you First son Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba has told the National Unity Platform presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine to brace for a defeat in 2021 elections. He was responding to a tweet by senior journalist Andrew Mwenda on the arrest of Bobi Wine in Kalangala district. “This afternoon, police without firing a shot or tear gas, arrested @HEBobiwine hooligans who had gone to Kalangala to cause mayhem,” Mwenda tweeted. He added: “BW was flown on a helicopter to Kololo airstrip and escorted to his residence without incident. Thank you Paul Lokech, police is working well now!” The Special Forces Command (SFC) commander quoted the tweet and said: “Oh dear! Kabobi kangye! (demeaning for a little boy or small person). Why is he dressed in red from neck to toe? Trying to be a soldier with absolutely no training,” Muhoozi said. Oh dear! Kabobi kangye! Why is he dressed in red from neck to toe? ...

Threat actors such as the notorious Lazarus group are continuing to tap into the ongoing COVID-19 vaccine research to steal sensitive information to speed up their countries' vaccine-development efforts. Cybersecurity firm Kaspersky detailed two incidents at a pharmaceutical company and a government ministry in September and October leveraging different tools and techniques but exhibiting similarities in the post-exploitation process, leading the researchers to connect the two attacks to the North Korean government-linked hackers. "These two incidents reveal the Lazarus group's interest in intelligence related to COVID-19," Seongsu Park, a senior security researcher at Kaspersky, said. "While the group is mostly known for its financial activities, it is a good reminder that it can go after strategic research as well." Kaspersky did not name the targeted entities but said the pharmaceutical firm was breached on September 25, 2020, with the attack ...

As 5G networks are being gradually rolled out in major cities across the world, an analysis of its network architecture has revealed a number of potential weaknesses that could be exploited to carry out a slew of cyber assaults, including denial-of-service (DoS) attacks to deprive subscribers of Internet access and intercept data traffic. The findings form the basis of a new "5G Standalone core security research" published by London-based cybersecurity firm Positive Technologies today, exactly six months after the company released its "Vulnerabilities in LTE and 5G Networks 2020" report in June detailing high impact flaws in LTE and 5G protocols. "Key elements of network security include proper configuration of equipment, as well as authentication and authorization of network elements," Positive Technologies said. "In the absence of these elements, the network becomes vulnerable [to] subscriber denial of service due to exploitation of vuln...

        A US representative and chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Eliot L. Engel, Wednesday called on the Trump Administration to sanction more Ugandan security officials. In a letter to secretary of state, Mike Pompeo and treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin, Engel says there is need for the US to provide robust support to human rights defenders and prevent further abuses perpetrated by Ugandan security forces against the country’s citizens. Below is Engel’s letter Dear Secretaries Pompeo and Mnuchin: I am writing to express my concern regarding the alarming slide towards authoritarianism in Uganda, a major recipient of U.S. foreign aid and one of the top recipients of U.S. security assistance in Africa. Having been in power for over three decades, President Museveni’s government has a long track record of repressive behavior. More recently, this has included attacks on independent media, the banning of political rallies and concerts, the arrest,...

Cybersecurity researchers from Facebook have formally linked the activities of a Vietnamese threat actor to an IT company in the country after the group was caught abusing its platform to hack into people's accounts and distribute malware. Tracked as APT32 (or Bismuth, OceanLotus, and Cobalt Kitty), the state-aligned operatives affiliated with the Vietnam government have been known for orchestrating sophisticated espionage campaigns at least since 2012 with the goal of furthering the country's strategic interests. "Our investigation linked this activity to CyberOne Group, an IT company in Vietnam (also known as CyberOne Security, CyberOne Technologies, Hành Tinh Company Limited, Planet and Diacauso)," Facebook's Head of Security Policy, Nathaniel Gleicher, and Cyber Threat Intelligence Manager, Mike Dvilyanski, said. Exact evidence trail leading Facebook to attribute the hacking activity to CyberOne Group was not disclosed, but according to a descripti...

Google Project Zero white-hat hacker Ian Beer on Tuesday disclosed details of a now-patched critical "wormable" iOS bug that could have made it possible for a remote attacker to gain complete control of any device in the vicinity over Wi-Fi. The exploit makes it possible to "view all the photos, read all the email, copy all the private messages and monitor everything which happens on [the device] in real-time," said Beer in a lengthy blog post detailing his six-month-long efforts into building a proof-of-concept single-handedly. The flaw (tracked as CVE-2020-3843) was addressed by Apple in a series of security updates pushed as part of iOS 13.3.1 , macOS Catalina 10.15.3 and watchOS 5.3.7 earlier this year. "A remote attacker may be able to cause unexpected system termination or corrupt kernel memory," the iPhone maker noted in its advisory, adding the "memory corruption issue was addressed with improved input validation." The vulnerability stems...
