At least six different Russia-aligned actors launched no less than 237 cyberattacks against Ukraine from February 23 to April 8, including 38 discrete destructive attacks that irrevocably destroyed files in hundreds of systems across dozens of organizations in the country. "Collectively, the cyber and kinetic actions work to disrupt or degrade Ukrainian government and military functions and undermine the public's trust in those same institutions," the company's Digital Security Unit (DSU) said in a special report. The major malware families that have been leveraged for destructive activity as part of Russia's relentless digital assaults include: WhisperGate, HermeticWiper (FoxBlade aka KillDisk), HermeticRansom (SonicVote), IssacWiper (Lasainraw), CaddyWiper, DesertBlade, DoubleZero (FiberLake), and Industroyer2. WhisperGate, HermeticWiper, IssacWiper, and CaddyWiper are all data wipers designed to overwrite data and render machines unbootable, while DoubleZero is

distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack Cloudflare on Wednesday disclosed that it acted to mitigate a 15.3 million request-per-second (RPS) distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack. The web infrastructure and website security company called it one of the "largest HTTPS DDoS attacks on record." "HTTPS DDoS attacks are more expensive in terms of required computational resources because of the higher cost of establishing a secure TLS encrypted connection," Cloudflare's Omer Yoachimik and Julien Desgats said. "Therefore it costs the attacker more to launch the attack, and for the victim to mitigate it." The volumetric DDoS attack is said to have lasted less than 15 seconds and targeted an unnamed Cloudflare customer operating a crypto launchpad. Volumetric DDoS attacks are designed to overwhelm a target network/service with significantly high volumes of malicious traffic, which typically originate from a botnet under a threat actor's control. di

Listen to this article 0:00 / 6:22 1X BeyondWords The Washington Post  has launched a full-scale war on  Elon Musk  as his takeover of  Twitter  has sparked a complete media meltdown.  On Wednesday, the paper whose slogan is "Democracy Dies in Darkness" published a pair of reports ratcheting up its attacks on the Tesla CEO, whose $44 billion offer to buy Twitter has been approved this week despite the heavy resistance he previously faced.  One report lamented how Democrats can do very little to combat Musk, a staunch advocate for free speech, writing how President Biden's "tech agenda gets a reality check" and how "Washington’s hands are largely tied as the world’s richest person acquire

 BANGUI, April 27 (Reuters) - Central African Republic has adopted bitcoin as an official currency, the presidency said on Wednesday, becoming the first country in Africa and only the second in the world to do so.

A bill governing the use of cryptocurrency was adopted unanimously by parliament last week, said a statement signed by Obed Namsio, chief of staff of President Faustin-Archange Touadera.

Over the last few days, talk around town has been about the birthday celebrations of the first son Gen MUHOOZI Kainerugaba. The celebrations took place in several parts of the country and going by the social and other media posts, it was a great success. That was a good thing because he wanted to celebrate with others but also to make a statement and I'm sure all that was achieved. I was not in attendance but even if I received an invite for the much hyped Saturday event, I most likely would have missed it. I take the opportunity rather belatedly to congratulate him and wish him a happy 48th birthday. I wouldn't have attended because I had to attend the wedding of a close friend and business acquaintance on the same day. I realized we are separated in age by 9 months and 20 days (him older than me). I also congratulate the organizers of the different events across the country such as Balaam Barugahare whom I can call a friend I have spoken to a few times but we aren't as cl

Nakku’s father was buried yesterday but her uncle Lwasa want to take over all the property ‘mbu’ his brother (Nakku’s father) made that will a long time ago when he was immature and just got too busy to change it so the will is expired. Nakku wants to know if a will can expire  WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?  A will CANNOT expire. There is no time limit or expiry date on a will.  This is because a will shows what person wishes for when they are dead. It means that person has every chance while they are alive to change the will if their wishes should change.  If a person wants to end the contract, he/she must do one these things;  1. Make a new will  2. Tear/burn or destroy the old will.  3. Make an addition to the existing will.    ARE THERE ANY EXCEPTIONS?? There are. There is something called Privileged Wills. This is a will made by a person who is a soldier and is likely to die in war etc. the law allows this person to make this will ‘just in case they do not survive’.  The moment they retu
