Trump's campaign website is briefly 'seized' by Bitcoin hackers who claim to have evidence that 'proves his criminal involvement with foreign actors to manipulate the election' Donald Trump’s campaign website was briefly ‘seized’ by hackers Tuesday who claimed to have evidence that ‘completely discredits’ him as a president and proves his ‘criminal involvement’ in the manipulation of the 2020 election.  A message reading, 'this site was seized' appeared briefly on the 'About' and 'Events' pages of DonaldJTrump.com, before the website was taken offline completely just after 7:20pm. The message continued that the world 'has had enough of fake news spreaded [sic] daily by the president ... it is time to allow the world to know the truth.'  The hackers behind the stunt claimed to have compromised multiple of the president's devices, giving them 'full access' to Trump and his relatives, along with access to confiden...

google android adware malware apps. Google has stepped in to remove several Android applications from the official Play Store following the disclosure that the apps in question were found to serve intrusive ads. The findings were reported by the Czech cybersecurity firm Avast on Monday, which said the 21 malicious apps (list here) were downloaded nearly eight million times from Google's app marketplace. The apps masqueraded as harmless gaming apps and came packed with HiddenAds malware, a notorious Trojan known for its capabilities to serve intrusive ads outside of the app. The group behind the operation relies on social media channels to lure users into downloading the apps. Earlier this June, Avast discovered a similar HiddenAds campaign involving 47 gaming apps with over 15 million downloads that were leveraged to display device-wide intrusive ads. "Developers of adware are increasingly using social media channels, like regular marketers would," Avast's...

Blogger Ashburg Kato has protested against certain members of the National Resistance Movement over what he calls “lack of transparency’ following the disappearance of cows that had been promised to him by President Museveni. Kato claims that during a meeting with President Museveni at his farm in Kisozi, the president promised him five cows which he duly delivered. “When I met the president, he said he was very happy with my ideas, he asked that I start farming so as a contribution he pledged five cows. I was elated but I was not prepared to have the cows, I had not where to put them immediately,” Kato said. “The truth is that the president never tells lies even if he promises you the whole of Kampala today, you will wake up and demand it and have it. So in this case the president delivered the cows,” Kato said. He, however, claims that the cows that were delivered were given to someone at Okello House in Nakasero who disappeared with them. “I have been waiting for the cows, from nowh...

Information obtained from some impeccable sources indicate that there are fears to kidnap and assassinate the wife of Mr Andama Richard the illegally interdicted RDC Yumbe District who doubles as the chair of West Nile RDCs who was interdicted under unclear circumstances and without giving the reasons and specific offences he had committed as required by law.

We have been married for six years now and have two lovely kids. We were generally happy until my husband recently returned home and declared that it was time for me to quit my job as a lawyer and be a stay-at-home mom. We got into a huge argument about it. My parents raised me to be financially independent and it has been working very well for us as a couple. While he caters for school fees, I pay rent for our home and we are currently saving money for our children’s university education. I grew up watching both my parents work to put food on the table. I am a career woman and he knew this when we met. I sweated through law school so I could build my career and I am finally reaping big from my hard work and now he wants me to quit! I have asked him what brought this on and all he says is that it is just his wish. I even suggested we go for marriage counselling and he has said no. I have asked him whether he feels neglected, and he says that is not the problem. He told me h...

In this episode of Lawyer Baguma Saidy's aspiration for Division Mayor 2021 to 2026,  am entrancing bit of his essence but rather  divergent in the view of some people. The Politics at play by Mr Baguma Saidy is more of honesty, truth and diplomatic politics but some people are misunderstanding him; they simply expect him to be a violent politician, rough rumor mongering politician, this type of politician who goes on to the streets to call other fellow Politicians (Opponents) by names and regarding them as thieves, criminals!,  this politics where people become excited and energised by the noise made by the Candidate they support, forgetting to keenly investigate leadership codes of conduct of such aspiring Candidates and also never minding to question the enthusiasm of their Campaign manifestos. But unfortunately, Mr Baguma is perhaps, not the type some people want. He doesn't associate with rumors, sluts, blasphemy and so on. These are the typical of Leader...

A financially-motivated threat actor known for its malware distribution campaigns has evolved its tactics to focus on ransomware and extortion. According to FireEye's Mandiant threat intelligence team, the collective — known as FIN11 — has engaged in a pattern of cybercrime campaigns at least since 2016 that involves monetizing their access to organizations' networks, in addition to deploying point-of-sale (POS) malware targeting financial, retail, restaurant, and pharmaceutical sectors. "Recent FIN11 intrusions have most commonly led to data theft, extortion and the disruption of victim networks via the distribution of CLOP ransomware" Mandiant said. Although FIN11's activities in the past have been tied to malware such as FlawedAmmy, FRIENDSPEAK, and MIXLABEL, Mandiant notes significant overlap in TTPs with another threat group that cybersecurity researchers call TA505 , which is behind the infamous Dridex banking Trojan and Locky ransomware that's delivered...

MR ADOMATI DICKSON LETTER; MY HUMBLE APPEAL TO YOU MR EJIKU ROBERT. Hope this message finds you well. This is Adomati Dickson giving you advice. You have struggled so much to get the NRM flag but I think it hasn't been your time.

Microsoft has warned about a new strain of mobile ransomware that takes advantage of incoming call notifications and Android's Home button to lock the device behind a ransom note. The findings concern a variant of a known Android ransomware family dubbed "MalLocker.B" which has now resurfaced with new techniques, including a novel means to deliver the ransom demand on infected devices as well as an obfuscation mechanism to evade security solutions. The development comes amid a huge surge in ransomware attacks  against critical infrastructure across sectors, with a 50% increase in the daily average of ransomware attacks in the last three months compared to the first half of the year, and cybercriminals increasingly incorporating double extortion  in their playbook. MaILocker has been known for being hosted on malicious websites and circulated on online forums using various social engineering lures by masquerading as popular apps, cracked games, or video players.
