We always told there is matrimonial property this, matrimonial property that.... Today we want to talk about what it is. By law, every person is allowed to own property in his/ her personal capacity or as a part of a group.  Marriage does not change the rights that a person may have over property. If you owned property before you got married, then this property remains your property. In Uganda, there is no specific law that defines what matrimonial property is, however, the courts have said that matrimonial property is that property that a married couple chooses to call home, and any other property that a married couple or either of them contributes to, directly or indirectly, and may be registered in their joint names. It does not matter whether such property is registered in the names of either the husband or the wife, the law may still take it to be matrimonial property.If however you choose to treat this property as your home with your spouse, then this means that it becomes matrim

Patches have been issued to contain a “severe” security vulnerability in UpdraftPlus, a WordPress plugin with over three million installations, that can be weaponized to download the site’s private data using an account on the vulnerable sites. “All versions of UpdraftPlus from March 2019 onwards have contained a vulnerability caused by a missing permissions-level check, allowing untrusted users access to backups,” the maintainers of the plugin said in an advisory published this week. Security researcher Marc-Alexandre Montpas of Automattic has been credited with discovering and reporting the vulnerability on February 14 that’s been assigned the identifier CVE-2022-0633 (CVSS score: 8.5). The issue impacts UpdraftPlus versions from 1.16.7 to 1.22.2. UpdraftPlus is a backup and restoration solution that’s capable of performing full, manual, or scheduled backups of WordPress files, databases, plugins and themes, which can then be reinstated via the WordPress admin dashboard.

An analysis of SMS phone-verified account (PVA) services has led to the discovery of a rogue platform built atop a botnet involving thousands of infected Android phones, once again underscoring the flaws with relying on SMS for account validation. SMS PVA services, since gaining prevalence in 2018, provide users with alternative mobile numbers that can be used to register for other online services and platforms, and help bypass SMS-based authentication and single sign-on (SSO) mechanisms put in place to verify new accounts. "This type of service can be used by malicious actors to register disposable accounts in bulk or create phone-verified accounts for conducting fraud and other criminal activities," Trend Micro researchers said in a report published last week. Telemetry data gathered by the company shows that most of the infections are located in Indonesia (47,357), followed by Russia (16,157), Thailand (11,196), India (8,109), and France (5,548), Peru (4,915), Morocco (4,8

A few days ago, following a court order for his arrest and an 18 month sentence in jail for contempt of court, Mabirizi threatened to sue any policeman who attempts to arrest him claiming the order was not a warrant of arrest. In a Facebook LIVE broadcast today via his personal account, the controversial lawyer now admits he is “hiding in a cave” -empuku, where he hopes no policeman can find him. He also scoffed at critics who cheer him to rise and challenge the charges against him in courts of law, saying he is “not silly to just give away his right of liberty yet.” Mabirizi cites Article 3 of the Uganda Constitution which highlights the duty of citizens to defend the Constitution and resist anyone or groups of persons seeking to overthrow it.   “We have a duty to resist these illegal and moronic decisions and we have to do all in our powers to resist irregularities” Mabirizi notes; The right to liberty is a fundamental right. You don’t just take away my liberty” “And you think I am s

Mbuya is also facing a defamation lawsuit after publishing a report alleging encroachment of a protected area by a farm owned by former DRC president Joseph Kabila. Experts say both the lawsuit and the violent assault on the lawyer’s home fit a pattern of harassment of environment and human rights activists in DRC. At around midnight on Jan. 12, at least six men, armed with hammers and AK-47s and wearing balaclavas, smashed a large hole in the wall to gain entry to the property in Lubumbashi, the Katanga provincial capital, where Mbuya’s wife and children and sever
