Information is Power

Coin Bureau, a popular information portal for cryptocurrency developments with over 600,000 followers on Twitter, experienced a security breach on its Youtube channel on Monday. Hackers allegedly uploaded a video with links to scam fiat/cryptocurrency addresses soliciting a token sale before being taken down by Youtube. According to Coin Bureau staff, they were baffled by the incident as its accounts were "secured with ultra-strong passwords and Google security keys." This was by no means an isolated incident. Prominent crypto Youtubers such as Ivan on Tech and Real Vision Finance have  had their accounts compromised  within the past few days. It appears to have been a coordinated effort as hackers uploaded a video titled "One World Cryptocurrency," that solicited the same type of token sales across all breached accounts. In addition, the accounts were all logged in from an IP address in the Philippines, although the VPNs were widespread, which makes it difficult to...

Whereas this video may not be very current, it captures the current deeper sentiments of Mr Kagame.  Remember there have been serious mediation the likes of the President of Angola and several summits including one held at the border between Uganda and Rwanda attended by the Angola president.  That didn't solve the problem.  If doubt the visit of Muhoozi Kainerugaba would do the magic bullet  We will surely analyse how we got to this point.  In my previous submissions tracing the Ankole and Rwandese question in the Rise and Fall of the Museveni NRA Occupation #alnakba, I averred there was scanty evidence linking FRONASA to the Tutsi military that was repulsed on the outskirts of Kigali during the counter Hutu Revolution.  I observed that most of the Tutsi military withdrew and disappeared in Tanzania.  During the give away ceremony of Mr Caleb Akandwanaho's daughter a one Kokondeka Jovia, the girl's mother and Saleh wife mobilised a sizeable number of ...

 Attorney General Paxton filed his third lawsuit against Google, again alleging that the company is systematically misleading and deceiving Texas consumers in violation of Texas’ Deceptive Trade Practices Act. This most recent Google lawsuit argues that the company misled Texas consumers by continuing to track their personal location even when users thought they had disabled this feature. Google then uses the deceptively gathered data to push advertisements to the consumer, earning the Big Tech company enormous profits.   Google provides a setting called “Location History” and tells users that, if they turn it off, “the places you go are no longer stored.” In spite of this assurance, Google continues to track users’ location through other settings and methods that it fails to adequately disclose. “Google’s founding motto is ‘Don’t Be Evil.’ And yet it systematically lies to millions of consumers in order to stack billions of dollars into its coffers,” said Attorney General Pax...

  The Directorate of ICT in close coordination with CID and Kakiri Territorial Police are actively investigating circumstances under which a section of the underground fibre cable network in Kakiri, Wakiso was damaged during a site clearance for construction works, by engineer Kyambade Eddy. As a result, the robust underground cables for the CCTV zones in Kakiri, Wakiso, were damaged, thus disrupting the cable network of the CCTV, in Kakiri, Masuliita, Namayumba and Kikandwa.  In addition, the disruptions do affect the monitoring of security and safety of persons within the CCTV zone, thus affecting our response to emergency. Although our team of ICT experts are working on the restoration of the CCTV networks, we are getting more concerned, because this is the third incident, where our underground fibre networks are damaged, yet the protection zone is clearly marked on major roads, highways, towns and other localities. We want to caution all road contractors to work closely wi...

Virtually, the essence of Marriage is about Trust, Happiness, Love and Unity for the growth of a family, a Country and the World. Many people on this Earth think and believe,  a complete marriage is when Couples have Rings 💍 or do Introductions or do Weddings .

However, some of these traum...

Arua Main Modern Market finally unveiled to the public this morning. However, Arua Hill and Lobidra markets will continue to relevant for the urban poor as many stalls at the multi million Arua modern market have been fradulently acquired by officials in Arua City thus depriving legitimate owners who signed a memorandum of understanding with the then Arua Municipal Council in 2019 to reclaim their space in the modern Market. Majority of the illegitimate owners want to sublet the stalls at exhorbitant rates for quick enrichment thus keeping away many traders who should have occupied the market.

Social engineering campaigns involving the deployment of the Emotet malware botnet have been observed using “unconventional” IP address formats for the first time in a bid to sidestep detection by security solutions. This involves the use of hexadecimal and octal representations of the IP address that, when processed by the underlying operating systems, get automatically converted “to the dotted decimal quad representation to initiate the request from the remote servers,” Trend Micro’s Threat Analyst, Ian Kenefick, said in a report Friday. The infection chains, as with previous Emotet-related attacks, aim to trick users into enabling document macros and automate malware execution. The document uses Excel 4.0 Macros, a feature that has been repeatedly abused by malicious actors to deliver malware. Once enabled, the macro invokes a URL that’s obfuscated with carets, with the host incorporating a hexadecimal representation of the IP address — “h^tt^p^:/^/0xc12a24f5/cc.html” — to execute a...
