#Alert; Hackers are on high gear compromising accounts of people from WestNile region, Uganda.


By Osuta Yusuf, ICT Guru.

The list of those whose accounts have been successfully hacked and their email address and phone numbers changed are; Mr Ejidra Samuel, Mr Apangu Kennedy Fanuel etc.

It's only these two people (Mr Apangu & Mr Ejidra Samuel) whose accounst i have not been able to secure back from the hackers.

In the mean time, i advise my people of WestNile region to take precautionary measures as follows;
1. Don't trust to share and let people know the email and telephone numbers attached to your internet accounts like Google, PayPal, Facebook, Mobile Banking Apps, LinkedIn, iCloud, Instagram, Personal / Company Websites, Microsoft, Twitter etc.

Hackers bypass Two Factor Authentication (TFA) securities by cloning your telephone number you reveal to them.
In simple understanding, "cloning" your telephone number means, photocopying your phone number / simcard that allows the hackers to access everything to do with your simcard including calls and sms messages.
This process is very hard to be detected in short time by the telecom companies (eg MTN, Airtel etc).

2. Don't click on any link from untrusted sources / unknown people.
This second process of hacking is called "Phishing" and it enables a hacker to design a link, once it is sent and you click on it, it hijacks you to into a website that will end up installing malware into your phone or computer without your knowledge henceforth collecting all your personal data like SMS, Passwords, Calls, ATM details and so on.


Stay tuned here as i shall be writing more precautionary measures to save you and your friends from being hacked.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent.  It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu".  We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service.  If you have not been denied registering your child i...

Here is Why Our Utterances For Praying Jesus And God To Come Liberate Ugandans, May Be Misplaced. This Phrase is like inform of a Letter To Some Categorized Section Of Ugandans.

https://m.facebook.com/yusufosuta/photos/a.1896701010557789/2070383359856219/?type=3 OPEN LETTER TO NRM SUPPORTERS - NATIONAL ROBBERS MOVEMENT. .................................................................................. Last week of March, a friend told me to pray for Uganda.  I told him that he was an Idiot and we have prayed for too long and we are still hungry and sick and Jesus is not coming soon to liberate us. He then ignored the STUPID and sent me a picture we all now know.  It got me totally messed up.  This guy was telling me to pray then sends a picture of men bowing down in blood.  He might have meant guns but I blocked him because his utterances of praying for Uganda were misplaced. I unblocked him 3 weeks later and asked him about praying and assassinations.  His reply "eithrr prayers or guns or both". I hate violence with a passion.  So he is now blocked in like FOREVER. Do you feel safe?  Do not feel safe. Uganda regim...
