  An SMS-based phishing campaign is targeting customers of Indian banks with information-stealing malware that masquerades as a rewards application. The Microsoft 365 Defender Research Team said that the messages contain links that redirect users to a sketchy website that triggers the download of the fake banking rewards app for ICICI Bank. "The malware's RAT capabilities allow the attacker to intercept important device notifications such as incoming messages, an apparent effort to catch two-factor authentication (2FA) messages often used by banking and financial institutions," researchers Shivang Desai, Abhishek Pustakala, and Harshita Tripathi  said . Additionally, the malware is equipped with the ability to steal SMSes, potentially enabling the attacker to swipe 2FA codes sent as text messages and gain unauthorized access to victim accounts. Like other social engineering attacks, familiar brand logos and names are used in the smishing message as well as the rogue app i...

Matayo’s landlord comes to his water tank for water every Saturday when they have clothes to wash. On different occasions, he has caught the welder connecting to his meter box, trying to work on doors and windows for the landlord. This is annoying Matayo, and he wants to know if the landlord can do whatever he wants because ‘the houses are his’  WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY? Every tenant is entitled to use their rented house without any sudden or abrupt interruptions from the landlord. This is called the right to quiet enjoyment. It means that a tenant has a right to demand privacy from the landlord and ask them not to touch anything the tenant has paid for. The landlord has no right to cause any annoyance to a tenant who has paid their rent. When we talk about annoyance, we mean any act that makes either a tenant uncomfortable about the use of a house, property or rental premise. If you have or know of an organisation or group working to reduce barriers facing access to justi...

Yesterday, we told you about the legal requirement to prove who you are to your landlord before taking up a house as a tenant.  With all the 'bafere' who wear Kanzu and pretend to be landlords to steal your money, do you think it is fair only to ask the tenant to share proof of who they are and not the landlords?  While we wait for the law to catch up, here are a few tips for surviving these 'bafere'. Never carry money when you check out a rental you want. 2.      2. Ask for proof of who the landlord is. It may not be a legal requirement, but it is your money, so don't be a 'fool'. (a fool and their money are soon parted) 3. Ask the other tenants how and to who they pay their rent. Come back later and check with the tenants if they know the people claiming to own the houses you want to rent.  4. Move with a friend or someone, so you can get their thoughts and avoid being 'ambushed'. 5. Insist on paying on an account, so you have a way to ...

According to the law, the Landlord and Tenant act of 2022 does not apply to certain arrangements like residence at an institution, whether private or public, where the residence is merely part of detention or to the provision of medical, religious, education or recreational services.  Simply put, if you are accessing any of the above-mentioned services, you aren't a tenant; therefore, your relationship with such institutions isn't governed by the Landlord and Tenancy Act. Another example is where one books a room in a hotel. Such a person does not become a tenant simply because they are paying money for accommodation at the hotel.

Boniface and Kamwe were at the local Kafunda drinking "ajono" (local brew) when they started talking about Bonny's shops that he is constructing. Kamwe wanted a shop for his wife and paid 250k cash to book the corner shop. Fast forward, Bonny is denying Kamwe a shop, saying that he should prove that he paid. He (Bonny) really DENIED his friend, but thankfully, Bitu, a waitress had witnessed the money-giving silently. This got us thinking... WHAT IS A TENANCY AGREEMENT? An agreement is a mutual understanding between people. When we combine both words, tenancy agreement, is a mutual understanding between the person using a house or building(tenant) and the owner of the house or building(landlord) or someone acting on behalf of the landlord usually known as the caretaker.

Short Answer; No Better answer; A tenancy is the same as saying ‘BUPANGIISA’ and it means the having or taking (control) of land or property as a tenant. This does not make the tenant the owner of the land or property. What this means is that a tenant is not just someone with an apartment or a ‘muzigo’. For example, if Magola rents someone’s land to grow sugarcane, this means that Magola has become a tenant on that land because she is temporarily using someone’s land and is not the owner. The main differentiator is that the tenancy of premises is regulated by the Landlord and Tenant Act while that of land is under the laws governing land. #BarefootLaw  #osutayusuf

Winnie Nwagi is one of the most selling musicians at the moment but that does guarantee her free access to every venue around the city. The singer together with her friends was denied access to the illusion bar in Kololo after they refused to pay the entrance fee.  "We all know Nwagi is a star but she must respect people's business, showing up with over 5 people and you want them to be excused of the entrance fee is absurd. The manager declined her requests. She even made calls but no one cared to listen," an eyewitness told this website.  Winnie Nwagi believes the bouncers should have allowed her to enter the nightclub because her music is played at the hangout.  "These guys play my music but they asked me to pay the entrance fee. We need to do better," she said in a video she posted on her Snapchat.  Our efforts to reach out to the bar management for a comment remained futile by press time.

I am a married woman and I got married in January this year. My husband wants to build a house for his mother but he is refusing to do it to my mother. I told him to build for both mothers but he's not happy. He told me that if it's like that then this marriage is not going anywhere.   Before our marriage he was saying that  he wasn't ready to get married because he wants to build a house for his mother first. I told him that he  can still build even when we are married because I thought he would take long to marry me. He was  saving money to build his mother a house  because she's renting. I was in support and I am still in support.   The problem is he is not considering that my mother also needs a house just because she is not renting. My sisters are also  complaining about his behaviour. I thought he has to build houses for both parents because we are no longer dating. We are married. How is my family going to look at me watchi...

The donkey said to the tiger: - "The grass is blue". The tiger replied: - "No, the grass is green." The discussion heated up, and the two decided to submit him to arbitration, and for this they went before the lion, the King of the Jungle. Already before reaching the forest clearing, where the lion was sitting on his throne, the donkey began to shout: - "His Highness, is it true that the grass is blue?". The lion replied: - "True, the grass is blue." The donkey hurried and continued: - "The tiger disagrees with me and contradicts and annoys me, please punish him." The king then declared: - "The tiger will be punished with 5 years of silence." The donkey jumped cheerfully and went on his way, content and repeating: - "The Grass Is Blue"... The tiger accepted his punishment, but before he asked the lion: - "Your Majesty, why have you punished me?, after all, the grass is green." The lion replied: - "In f...

The Sub-county Chairman for Vurra Sub-county has landed himself into a hot soup for vehemently saying, he is a father of a child who died last week and was buried in an improper manner. The RDC for Arua District,  Mr George E Owanyi while interrogating the LC3 Chairman, asked him for over five times, are you sure that baby who was buried last week is your biological child ?. The LC3 Chairman said yes, "that is my own biological child". This is the Genesis of the Whole Story. Mrs Vivian Apolot, the woman with whom the LC3 Chairman has been committing adultery with, is a wife of Mr Osuta, a Congolese Soldier at the rank of Major. The Major said, he has been hearing rumors that, his wife is having a secret sexual affair with the LC3 Chairman, which according to him, prompted him to summon a meeting last year 2021 with the LC3, LC5 Chairman Hon Alfred Okuonzi together with other people but Hon Pariyo completely denied having a sexual affair with his wife. I even went ...

Salim and Musa joined forces as business partners and agreed to share all the profits “50 50“.They have been looking for business for over a year now. Last month, they finally landed a big investor who has agreed to buy their entire business. The following day Salim blocked Musa from accessing any company document, including the agreement they had signed and scanned. Musa wants his share, but the other problem is that he does not know how much the investor has sent. Can he get his share of the money, and how does he know how much it is? WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY? By law, whenever you sue someone, the burden is on you to prove what you are claiming that you are entitled to. For example, Musa has to prove to the court that he is entitled to half of what was paid for the business he bought with Salim. His problem is that all the proof (the documents) he wants is with the very person he is suing.  In the law, there is something that fixes that problem. It is called discovery. Discovery is ...

23-9-2022. The District Police Commander for Maracha District, Denis Musinguzi has repeated the need for dialogue in any form of conflict resolution at any level. In a land conflict meeting held in Ageyi Town Council , chaired by the Resident District Commissioner Mr Ayikobua Festus who is also the Chairperson of Security in the District, the DPC pleaded with the people of Maracha District  to always  seek for "Dialogues" with the aggrieved  much as the person who is being complained  against may be innocent. The DPC said, some of you leaders, us and some people  in other parts of Uganda might have given up their properties just for the matter  of living a peaceful life. What essence does it have if we acquire something legally  but it causes enmity & insecurity with the neighbors, he asked. For us the security  commanders, me and RDC, we are not here to alternate ownership  of any land title but we are here to harmoni...

Did you read about the wedding that was cancelled at the last minute in Lira?  The short version is this. A couple had organized their wedding. They had just dressed up to go to church when the second wife showed up with an interim court order(an order meant to temporarily stop something from taking place, for example, a wedding)  So, the guests were told that there would be no wedding, but they were welcome to enjoy the food and look forward to having the wedding in future. Obviously, the wedding planner was not happy with all she had done and came out to demand that this second wife, who stopped the wedding, should bear her expenses because she stopped the wedding late.  Do you think she is right? Must anyone who wants to stop a wedding do it early before the arrangements and plans are completed? 📷:Unsplash #BarefootLaw #osutayusuf

Kabanda has always been taller than his agemates. Most times people mistake him for an adult and yet he is only 17 years of age. Last week, his mother also forgot his age and sent him with the rent money to deposit it on the landlord’s account. On his way, he was ‘convinced’ by a guy at a sports betting shop to bet on the ‘winning’ team on TV. Unfortunately for Kabanda, his money was ‘eaten and he went back home and hid in his bedroom. At night, the landlord passed by to complain about the money that did not arrive. This is how Kabanda’s mother found out that Kabanda never sent the money. The following morning, Kabanda and his mother went to the Sports betting shop to demand for her money that Kabanda had used. Do you think Kabanda’s mother has any entitlement to the money? Should the betting shop have asked about Kabanda’s age? Let us know in the comments below.  If you have any legal questions about this or you have some thoughts to share, please feel free to comment or contact u...

By law, there is work considered safe for children to do so that they can either earn money or learn how a particular business or career operates. This is known as ‘light work’. Light work is; a.    Work that is not harmful to a child’s health; b.    not harmful to a child’s development; c.    does not force a child to choose whether or not to attend school; d.    not prejudicial to a child’s participation in vocational training; and e.    not more than fourteen hours per week; Remember, a child should not;  carry heavy loads,  work with or near dangerous machinery, equipment and tools;  unhealthy environments,  underground or at high heights;  subjected to any form of abuse (physical, psychological or sexual) or work for long hours.  This means a child should not work in high buildings or underground bars, clubs and places that are even morally harmful to them If you have any legal questions about this or y...

First, child labour is not the same as child trafficking. It simply means that the work the child is doing takes away their childhood and the potential to grow as children and is therefore harmful to their physical and mental development.  For example, any work that requires a child to choose between school time and work is harmful to them because it interferes with their education. It is also wrong if the work exposes them to things that would interfere with their development. However, even if Child labour is not allowed, it is not the same as child trafficking. This is because the work that makes certain practices child labour is work that is acceptable for an adult. However, trafficking, when done to a child, is still trafficking if it is done to an adult in most instances. For example, if an adult is manipulated, tricked or forced to work for someone, it is still a form of human trafficking, just as it would be for a child. If you are in Uganda and you suspect that you or anyon...

Cybersecurity company Imperva has disclosed that it mitigated a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack with a total of over 25.3 billion requests on June 27, 2022. The "strong attack," which targeted an unnamed Chinese telecommunications company, is said to have lasted for four hours and peaked at 3.9 million requests per second (RPS). "Attackers used HTTP/2 multiplexing, or combining multiple packets into one, to send multiple requests at once over individual connections," Imperva  said  in a report published on September 19. The attack was launched from a botnet that comprised nearly 170,000 different IP addresses spanning routers, security cameras, and compromised servers located in more than 180 countries. The disclosure also comes as web infrastructure provider Akamai said it fielded a new DDoS assault aimed at a customer based in Eastern Europe on September 12, with attack traffic spiking at 704.8 million packets per second (pps). The same victim was  pre...
