Google on Friday announced that its client-side encryption for Gmail is in beta for Workspace and education customers as part of its efforts to secure emails sent using the web version of the platform. This development comes at a time when concerns about online privacy and data security are at an all-time high, making it a welcome change for users who value the protection of their personal data. To that end, Google Workspace Enterprise Plus, Education Plus, and Education Standard customers can apply to sign up for the beta until January 20, 2023. It's not available to personal Google Accounts. "Using client-side encryption in Gmail ensures sensitive data in the email body and attachments are indecipherable to Google servers," the company said in a post. "Customers retain control over encryption keys and the identity service to access those keys." It is important to know that the latest safeguards offered by Gmail is different from end-to-end encryption. CyberSec...

Microsoft has revised the severity of a security vulnerability it originally patched in September 2022, upgrading it to "Critical" after it emerged that it could be exploited to achieve remote code execution. Tracked as CVE-2022-37958 (CVSS score: 8.1), the flaw was previously described as an information disclosure vulnerability in SPNEGO Extended Negotiation (NEGOEX) Security Mechanism. SPNEGO, short for Simple and Protected GSSAPI Negotiation Mechanism (SPNEGO), is a scheme that allows a client and remote server to arrive at a consensus on the choice of the protocol to be used (e.g., Kerberos or NTLM) for authentication. But a further analysis of the flaw by IBM Security X-Force researcher Valentina Palmiotti found that it could allow remote execution of arbitrary code, prompting Microsoft to reclassify its severity. "This vulnerability is a pre-authentication remote code execution vulnerability impacting a wide range of protocols," IBM said this week. "It ha...

Maracha Constituency MP Lee Oguzu Fullfils Campaign Manifesto, Splashes Over 130 Million Shs on 520 Sacco Groups.

A former Twitter employee who was found guilty of spying on behalf of Saudi Arabia by sharing data pertaining to specific individuals has been sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison. Ahmad Abouammo, 45, was convicted earlier this August on various criminal counts, including money laundering, fraud, falsifying records, and being an illegal agent of a foreign government. Abouammo was arrested on November 5, 2019, after being accused of abusing his access to Twitter's internal systems to gather information about Saudi Arabia's critics on the social media platform. He was employed at Twitter from 2013 to 2015. "Mr. Abouammo violated the trust placed on him to protect the privacy of individuals by giving their personal information to a foreign power for profit," said Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen of the Justice Department's National Security Division. "His conduct was made all the more egregious by the fact that the information was intended to...

A previously undocumented Android malware campaign has been observed leveraging money-lending apps to blackmail victims into paying up with personal information stolen from their devices. Mobile security company Zimperium dubbed the activity MoneyMonger, pointing out the use of the cross-platform Flutter framework to develop the apps. MoneyMonger "takes advantage of Flutter's framework to obfuscate malicious features and complicate the detection of malicious activity by static analysis," Zimperium researchers Fernando Sanchez, Alex Calleja , Matteo Favaro, and Gianluca Braga said in a report shared with The Hacker news. "Due to the nature of Flutter, the malicious code and activity now hide behind a framework outside the static analysis capabilities of legacy mobile security products." The campaign, believed to be active since May 2022, is part of a broader effort previously disclosed by Indian cybersecurity firm K7 Security Labs. None of the 33 apps used in the...

#opinion  The scramble for Africa is back! This time around, it is in modified style! Africa must embark on exploring its powers, opportunities and abilities in handling its weaknesses and challenges. We have over so many decades, inherited and emulated traditions and dictions of administration and laws from the Western Countries (Europe) and USA that have overzealous effects on our people in Africa. The heritage which we have not completely lost as Africans, is our culture but the Western Countries are in high gear to destroy it under the disguise of "Modernisation". Well, no body would like to fight modernisation but when it comes along with whipping away our identity, colour, culture and others, it renders it clueless and redundant. How could a sane person call "Bleaching", a modernisation ?. These are just a few illustrations that would bring a catastrophic impact upon our beautiful continent Africa ?. Whatever our African leaders in various capacities are bei...

This is because police bond is supposed only to allow a person to be released until the police complete their investigations.   Once those investigations are complete and the court is ready to hear the case, the police no longer have any powers to offer you temporary freedom. In short, your police bond expires, and you have to ask for something new called bail, depending on whether you admitted to having committed the crime.   If you have pleaded "not guilty", you have the right to ask the court to consider giving you bail so that you can be released on the condition that you will report to court for a hearing while your case is being heard and determined.   If you have informed the court that you are "guilty," you cannot ask for bail. Instead, the court may either sentence you immediately or remand you to prison while considering what punishment to give you. Source; BareFootLaw 

The U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) on Wednesday announced the seizure of 48 domains that offered services to conduct distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks on behalf of other threat actors, effectively lowering the barrier to entry for malicious activity. It also charged six suspects – Jeremiah Sam Evans Miller (23), Angel Manuel Colon Jr. (37), Shamar Shattock (19), Cory Anthony Palmer (22), John M. Dobbs (32), and Joshua Laing (32) – for their alleged ownership in the operation. The websites "allowed paying users to launch powerful distributed denial-of-service, or DDoS, attacks that flood targeted computers with information and prevent them from being able to access the internet," the DoJ said in a press statement. The six defendants have been charged with various running booter (or stresser) services, including RoyalStresser[.]com, SecurityTeam[.]io, Astrostress[.]com, Booter[.]sx, IPStresser[.]com, and TrueSecurityServices[.]io. They have also been accused of vio...

Message 👇👇 Copied from Hon Gilbert Olanya.  My Christmas Gift to the People of Kilak South. here is a brand new Modern ambulance loaded with the latest technology. It supports the treatment of patients and the work of paramedics while on the go. Why An Ambulance? - This is part of my social care and support program towards the healthcare and well being of my people. While the government takes turns to deliver, we cannot selfishly watch as our people toil and suffer in the eyes of poor national healthcare program. As we lobby for better health for all....... a token of support to compliment governments effort is just worthy the representation. I surely know, that government is pondering on delivering one such car but largely on paper framework. I implore government to walk the talk and treat healthcare as an urgent issue by delivering state of the art ambulances across the country to counter emergency situations now or never. We cannot thrive on promises yet we can deliver on prom...

  Microsoft on Tuesday disclosed it took steps to suspend accounts that were used to publish malicious  drivers  that were certified by its Windows  Hardware Developer Program  were used to sign malware. The tech giant said its investigation revealed the activity was restricted to a number of developer program accounts and that no further compromise was detected. Cryptographically signing malware is concerning not least because it not only undermines a key security mechanism but also allows threat actors to subvert traditional detection methods and infiltrate target networks to perform highly privileged operations. The probe, Redmond stated, was initiated after it was notified of rogue drivers being used in post-exploitation efforts, including deploying ransomware, by cybersecurity firms Mandiant, SentinelOne, and Sophos on October 19, 2022. One notable aspect of these attacks was that the adversary had already obtained administrative privileges on compromised s...

The people of WestNile region, including RDCs, activists, media, CAOs, forest and environment officers have reawaken the calls

The Leader of Opposition Rt. Hon. Mathias Mpuuga Nsamba has expressed joy with the sanctions slapped on the ex Inspector General of Police saying people like Gen. Kale Kayihura should serve as an example to other government officials who abuse human rights. Mpuuga, a former Activists for Change member and a leader in the 2011 walk to work protests recounts some of his experience with the police as it was then under the command of Gen. Kayihura. “You all recall how he operated the notorious Nalufenya prison. So many citizens were tortured under his command. In a democratic dispensation, Gen. Kayihura and his accomplices would by now be in jail,” Mpuuga said in an interview with a local radio station. “Gen. Kayihura should call his colleagues with like minds of using violence on citizens and tell them his traumatic experience. He needs to show them practical lessons of what he is going through at the moment,” Mpuuga added. Mpuuga further appeals to the government of UK and the internatio...

Google has officially begun rolling out support for passkeys, the next-generation passwordless login standard, to its stable version of Chrome web browser. "Passkeys are a significantly safer replacement for passwords and other phishable authentication factors," the tech giant's Ali Sarraf said. "They cannot be reused, don't leak in server breaches, and protect users from phishing attacks." The improved security feature, which is available in version 108, comes nearly two months after Google began testing the option across Android, macOS, and Windows 11. Passkeys obviate the need for passwords by requiring users to authenticate themselves during sign in by unlocking their nearby Android or iOS device using biometrics. This, however, calls for websites to build passkey support on their sites using the WebAuthn API. Essentially, the technology works by creating a unique cryptographic key pair to associate with an account for the app or website duri...

By Collines J Mawa The NRM came to power based on a 10 point program, which originally were; Democracy, Security, Consolidation of National security and elimination of all forms of sectarianism, Defending and consolidating National Independence, Building an integrated and self-sustaining economy, Restoration & improvement of Social services, *elimination of corruption and misuse of power* , redressing errors that have resulted in the dislocation of sections of the population, co-operation with other African countries in defending human and democratic rights and following an economic strategy of mixed economy. Whereas these 10 point programs had to change based on evolving priorities, they remained the fulcrum of the party. In 1999, Dr. Besigye issued a critique of the inner workings of the NRM. It was clear that the party was slowly deviating from the very fulcrum of its formation. This should have been an opportunity for the party to evolve in the right direction. Inst...
