My name is Jacob Oulanyah I am the Deputy Speaker of Parliament, I also represent the people of Omoro county in the Parliament of Uganda. I am a man of the people and I am calling upon you to vote me as NRM’s National Vice Chairperson for Northern Region, to be a member of the Central Executive Committee (CEC) of NRM. The CEC is the highest policy and decision organ of the NRM. In 2015, I contested for the same position. I was set to win but in a settlement brokered by the NRM National Chairman, H.E Yoweri. K. Museveni, I respected his guidance to allow the incumbent, my brother Hon. Sam Engola continue for another term. That term is now coming to an end. Joining the NRM’s Central Executive Committee (CEC) as the Regional Vice Chairperson Northern Uganda will avail me with the platform to be part of the initiators of propositions before it comes to Parliament which is a process...

           https://www.facebook.com/1829407613953796 Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a new strain of banking malware that targets not only banking apps but also steals data and credentials from social networking, dating, and cryptocurrency apps—a total of 337 non-financial Android applications on its target list. Dubbed "BlackRock" by ThreatFabric researchers, which discovered the trojan in May, its source code is derived from a leaked version of Xerxes banking malware, which itself is a strain of the LokiBot Android banking trojan that was first observed during 2016-2017.

                         Hon Adiga Lawrence (File Photo).                Part One. https://www.facebook.com/1829407613953796 The rise of Hon Adiga Lawrence Ozubia, the incumbent Maracha District LC5 Chairperson (2016 to 2021) who is now vying for the seat of MP Maracha East Constituency in 2021 to 2026. It is quite splendid to treasure the moment to write a little piece of phrase about his Leadership Journey. Mr Adiga, whose Leadership journey started as a joke to many in 2016 Campaigns but ended up surprising them, by emerging victorious in the February-2016 general elections, leaving to attest to the world that, Leaders are blessed and chosen by God. Should we support and vote for Leaders like him, the better. By virtue as any other Human Being who has Enemies or Critics, holding routine grudges to fight and belittle Hon Adiga Lawrence, but, for, it shall never work out. Ki...

A number of high-profile Twitter accounts, including those of US presidential candidate Joe Biden, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Uber, and Apple, were breached simultaneously in what's a far-reaching hacking campaign carried out to promote a cryptocurrency scam.

Twitter termed the security incident as a "coordinated social engineering attack" against its employees who have access to its internal tools. As o...
