https://www.facebook.com/1829407613953796 I wish to take this opportunity to thank H.E. the President of Uganda, YKM for the following: 1. His visionary leadership and for being a peace maker. 2. Leading a successful and historical revolutionary war that brought a sustainable peace, unity and security. 3. Preferring political dialogue than military solution to guarantee peace, security and unity for all citizens regardless of color, tribe, religion and economic status. Many of us are a by product of armed conflicts and today, I want our community members to remember our forgotten hero's in Uganda, Yumbe district in particular and West Nile at large. Who are these hero's?  the Officers, service men and women who gave in their lives to bring peace and security (i.e. revolutionary veterans and their families). The second category are our youth, women, and elderly including persons with physical and mental disability who suffered as result of the arm conflicts in our distri

Malawident Lazarus Chakwera. https://www.facebook.com/1829407613953796 The former evangelical preacher vowed to tackle corruption on his election ticket. Malawi President Lazarus Chakwera has fired back at critics over the choice of his maiden cabinet which they said was tainted by family ties, insisting that the appointments were based purely on merit. The newly-elected president was reacting to public outrage that ensued on Thursday when Chakwera unveiled a 31-member cabinet which included six figures who are related to each other, although not to the president. "The only thing that counts is merit… because for far too long, we have defined merit wrongly in this country," Chakwera said during a swearing in of the newly-appointed ministers. "I believe that a just society is not only one in which familial, regional, and marital ties do not qualify you for service, but also one in which those ties do not disqualify you for service," he said. Chakwera said tha

Cybersecurity researchers took the wraps off yet another instance of Android malware hidden under the guise of legitimate applications to stealthily subscribe unsuspecting users for premium services without their knowledge. https://www.facebook.com/1829407613953796 In a report published by Check Point research today, the malware — infamously called Joker (or Bread) — has found another trick to bypass Google's Play Store protections: obfuscate the malicious DEX executable inside the application as Base64 encoded strings, which are then decoded and loaded on the compromised device. Following responsible disclosure by Check Point researchers, the 11 apps in question were removed by Google from the Play Store on April 30, 2020. "The Joker malware is tricky to detect, despite Google's investment in adding Play Store protections," said Check Point's Aviran Hazum, who identified the new modus operandi of Joker malware. "Although Google removed the malicious
