BBC & VOA has been Suspended in Burundi. Burundi’s National Media Council has suspended FM radio broadcasts of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and the Voice of America (VOA), saying the foreign media houses were peddling lies in their coverage of the country.  The media council chairman, Nestor Bankumukunzi said BBC and VOA had violated principles of balanced journalism and verification of information provided by sources.  BBC was faulted for airing a television documentary alleging security services were running a string of secret torture chambers to crush opposition’s spirit.  Bujumbura dismissed the story as false.  Bankumukunzi was quoted as saying BBC had already recognized their mistake but later went ahead to broadcast a film whose content he said was “false, slanderous and full of fabrications”. He also indicated that the documentary violated laws that govern the media in Burundi. Burundi authorities also suspended VOA on grounds that the b

Bizarre dust and rain cloud forms a barrier between ISIS and Israel .  A huge cloud of dust and rain blew up along the border between Israel and ISIS last week, sparking online claims that it was a biblical storm. Four days after ISIS fighters attacked an Israeli patrol in the Golan Heights, a plateau in Syria which the Jewish state has occupied since 1967, the bizarre meteorological phenomenon suddenly appeared.  Eyewitnesses said the storm seemed to stop at the boundary and be unable to enter the Golan Heights, which tower above the rest of Syria. Huge cloud of dust appears on the Syria and Israel border. Footage of the dust barrier was uploaded onto Facebook by  Israel Online News. They wrote: 'A weather phenomenon occurred at 8am Thursday on the other side of the Syrian border, in the same place where ISIS attacked Israel. This strange storm of what appears to be dust, cloud and rain did NOT cross the border fence into Israel. It sat like a barrier betw

KAMPALA –  Kyadondo East Member of Parliament Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine could lose his building located in Kamwokya, a city suburb, after a company claimed that he illegally acquired the land on which the structure sits.

Facebook uses its apps to track users it thinks could threaten employees and offices Salvador Rodriguez | @sal19 Published 22 Hours Ago Updated 18 Hours Ago CNBC.com Facebook maintains a list of individuals that its security guards must "be on lookout" for that is comprised of users who've made threatening statements against the company on its social network as well as numerous former employees. The company's information security team is capable of tracking these individuals' whereabouts using the location data they provide through Facebook's apps and websites. More than a dozen former Facebook security employees described the company's tactics to CNBC, with several questioning the ethics of the company's practices.

1  Remember that there will be difficult times in the last days.  2  People will be selfish, greedy, boastful, and conceited; they will be insulting, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, and irreligious;  3  they will be unkind, merciless, slanderers, violent, and fierce; they will hate the good;  4  they will be treacherous, reckless, and swollen with pride; they will love pleasure rather than God;  5  they will hold to the outward form of our religion, but reject its real power. Keep away from such people.  6  Some of them go into people's houses and gain control over weak women who are burdened by the guilt of their sins and driven by all kinds of desires,  7  women who are always trying to learn but who can never come to know the truth.  8  As Jannes and Jambres were opposed to Moses, so also these people are opposed to the truth—people whose minds do not function and who are failures in the faith.  9  But they will not get very far, because everyone will see how stupid

Oklahoma securities commission. A massive government data belonging to the Oklahoma Department of Securities (ODS) was left unsecured on a storage server for at least a week, exposing a whopping 3 terabytes of data containing millions of sensitive files. The unsecured storage server, discovered by Greg Pollock, a researcher with cybersecurity firm UpGuard, also contained decades worth of confidential case files from the Oklahoma Securities Commission and many sensitive FBI investigations—all wide open and accessible to anyone without any password. Other severe files exposed included emails, social security numbers, names, and addresses of 10,000 brokers, credentials for remote access to ODS workstations, and communications meant for the Oklahoma Securities Commission, along with a list of identifiable information related to AIDS patients. While the researcher doesn't know exactly how long the server was open to the public, the Shodan search engine revealed that the server had

CENI confirms no results till further notice. Elections boss, Corneille Nangaa has officially stated that preliminary results from the December 30 elections will be delayed, the AP news agency reported today, January 6, 2019. Today had been scheduled for the release of initial results but CENI had earlier last week warned that the process could delay because of the slow transmission of tally sheets. The Catholic Church said almost 24-hours later that its independent tabulation showed that there was an outright winner of the polls. That position earned it flak from the ruling FCC coalition. Internet services have been shutdown in a move justified by government as necessary to maintain peace and security as it will curtail the incidence of spreading fake results. Tensions are likely to move a notch higher as Congolese await the release of results. Barely a day after the vote the ruling coalition and two main opposition camps claimed victory without giving any figures. The Church, w

A group of hackers has hijacked tens of thousands of Google's Chromecast streaming dongles, Google Home smart speakers and smart TVs with built-in Chromecast technology in recent weeks by exploiting a bug that's allegedly been ignored by Google for almost five years. The attackers, who go by Twitter handles @HackerGiraffe and @j3ws3r, managed to hijack Chromecasts’ feeds and display a pop-up, spreading a security warning as well as controversial YouTube star PewDiePie propaganda. The hackers are the same ones who hijacked more than 50,000 internet-connected printers worldwide late last year by exploiting vulnerable printers to print out flyers asking everyone to subscribe to PewDiePie YouTube channel. This time, the hackers remotely scanned the internet for compatible devices, including Chromecasts, exposed to the internet through poorly configured routers that have Universal Plug and Play [UPnP] enabled by default. The hackers then exploited a design flaw in Chromecast t

The United Nations will appoint a new envoy to Somalia, following the expulsion of the Special Representative of the U.N. Secretary-General in that country. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Friday agreed to appoint a new UN envoy after Somalia’s president refused to reverse the decision to expel Nicholas Haysom for raising human rights concerns. Guterres spoke by phone with President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed on Friday, his second call to the Somali leader in three days, to once again urge him to change his mind, according to diplomats. But the president dug in his heels and said Haysom would remain persona non grata and would not be allowed to return to Somalia, diplomats said. Official UN reaction? Guterres “deeply regrets” Somalia’s decision, said UN spokesman Farhan Haq, adding that the UN chief nevertheless intends to appoint a new UN envoy. The UN Security Council met behind closed doors to agree on a response to Somalia’s decision. But during that meeting, China a

Germany has been hit with the biggest hack in its history. A group of unknown hackers has leaked highly-sensitive personal data from more than 100 German politicians, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Brandenburg’s prime minister Dietmar Woidke, along with some German artists, journalists, and YouTube celebrities. The leaked data that was published on a Twitter account (@_0rbit) and dated back to before October 2018 includes phone numbers, email addresses, private chats, bills, credit card information and photos of victims' IDs. Although it is yet unclear who perpetrated this mass hack and how they managed to perform it, the leaked data appears to be collected unauthorizedly by hacking into their smartphones. The hack targeted all of Germany's political parties currently represented in the federal parliament, including the CDU, CSU, SPD, FDP, Left party (Die Linke) and Greens, except for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD). While Justice Minister Katarina

Tallying centres in Kinshasa began compiling results of last weekend’s chaotic elections in the Democratic Republic of Congo on Friday following delays in getting local tallies ready for central counting. DRC’s electoral body, (CENI) announced a delay of results having received only 20 percent of votes it said. “We don’t know how long it will take to compile the results but there is a lot of work to do. Even if they say they will give results on Sunday we don’t think it will be possible because we only started today and until now, in the Mount Amba district, where we have 904 polling stations, we still haven’t got through 100’‘, said Papi Sakalamba, witness from the camp of an independent candidate. Intimidation and harassment against journalists, opposition candidates and human rights defenders continues to take place, and this being a very sensitive. The United Nations Human Rights Office in Geneva on Friday expressed concerned about the latest developments there. Ravina Shamdas

The African Union has called upon invested parties in the Democratic Republic of Congo to respect the results of the presidential election, as tensions grow over delays in the counting process. The elections will determine who succeeds President Joseph Kabila, who has been at the helm of sub-Saharan Africa’s biggest country for nearly 18 years. Moussa Faki, head of the AU Commission, met on Friday with the head of the AU observer mission, Dioncounda Traore, a former president of Mali, at the bloc’s headquarters in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa. Respect of the election results is crucial. “Respect of the election results is crucial,” Faki said in a brief message posted on Twitter. The 80-strong AU observer team had already warned on Wednesday that they expected the official results to be “in line with the vote” of the people. The Congolese election commission said logistical problems may force it to postpone publication of provisional results from Sunday’s vote, which also inc

Experts discovered over 35 million US voter records for sale in a hacking forum. Millions of voter records are available for sale on the Dark Web, experts from Anomali and Intel 471 discovered 35 million US voter records for sale in a hacking forum. Researchers have analyzed a sample of voter records and determined the data to be valid with a high degree of confidence. Records in the voter registration database include personal and voting history information of US residents. “Certain states require the seller to personally travel to locations in-state to receive the updated voter information.” reads the post published by Anomali. “This suggests the information disclosure is not necessarily a technical compromise but rather a likely targeted campaign by a threat actor redistributing possibly legitimately obtained voter data for malicious purposes on a cybercrime forum,”  The seller only provided the number of records for the lists of voters belonging to three states asking for pri

A plane carrying 139 people skidded off the runway when it landed Thursday at an international airport in Uganda, the airline and airport officials said. The Ethiopian Airlines flight was landing at Entebbe airport at 12:41 a.m. Thursday (4:41 p.m. ET Wednesday) when it "overshot the runway," according to airport authorities. All passengers and crew on the Boeing 737-800 plane disembarked safely, but the incident affected inbound international flights earlier in the day, Uganda's Civil Aviation Authority (UCAA) said in a statement. The plane was coming from Ethiopia's busy capital, Addis Ababa. UCAA later posted on Twitter that the aircraft had been removed and normal operations had resumed at the only international airport in the East African country. An image provided by airport authorities showed the aircraft on a grassy area. Ethiopian Airlines said there was no damage to the airplane, but the reason for the incident is being investigated. The airline said
