GET AIRTEL 2GIG FOR 200 NAIRA AND 6GIG FOR 500 NAIRA

In the light of the ongoing competition we are experiencing in Nigeria telecommunication industries, after Glo recent data upgrade Airtel has released a new data plan with strange policies...

This new Airtel data offers will give you 2GB for just N200 with 14days validity period and also 6GB for just N500 with 28days validity period.

NOTE: This is not weekend bundle, neither night plan, it works for both day and night, also works on all device platforms.

Now on the strange policies I mentioned earlier.... 

• The plan is usable on all devices
• Upon subscription, it automatically deactivates any existing data plan
• It only works on 2G network
• No matter the strength of your network, it must be set to 2G network or else you won't be able to use your data. (this is were it gets annoying)
• 2GB will last for 14days and 6GB will last for 28days (this is no condition to some people)

If you ask me for an advice, ...This is a no streaming no downloading data plan... not because Airtel said that, but because i dont think it will favor anybody who want to download r stream videos. 

to subscribe to the plan, dial *482# and follow the prompt.

Mark Zuckerberg, Facebok CEO's Twitter, Pinterest accounts Hacked!...

A group from Saudi Arabia, going by the name OurMine, has claimed responsibility for the hack.

Thanks to the LinkedIn data breach!
The hackers tweeted that they found Zuck's account credentials in the recent LinkedIn data breach, from which they took his SHA1-hashed password string and then broke it and tried on several social media accounts.

OurMine, which has more than 40,000 Twitter followers, then successfully broke into Zuck's Twitter (@finkd) and Pinterest profile and defaced its banners with its logo as well as tweeted out some offensive posts.

Mr. Zuckerberg has not sent a tweet from the account since 2012.

Now, what’s more surprising?

Zuckerberg's LinkedIn password was "dadada", which he also used for his other online accounts, the group tweeted.

"No Facebook systems or accounts were accessed," a Facebook spokesperson said. "The affected accounts have been re-secured."

More than 167 Million members' email and password combinations were hacked during a 2012 LinkedIn data breach and had just been posted online. The passwords were encrypted with the SHA1 algorithm with "no salt" that made it easier for hackers to crack them.
I suggest you change your password immediately, especially if you use the same password for other websites.

CYPTOWALL RANSOMWARE GENERATED $325 MILLION IN REVENUE

 

hackers primarily (literally) gain access to a user's computer system using a ransomware malware, which encrypts all files with a strong cryptographic algorithm, and demand a ransom money to be paid in Bitcoin, in most cases between $200 and $10,000.

A (pdf)  Report published by Cyber Threat Alliance (CTA), an industry group formed last year to study emerging threats, researchers have discovered:

• 406,887 CryptoWall infection attempts
• Total of 4,046 malware samples
• 839 command-and-control server URLs to send commands and receive data
• 5 second-tier IP addresses
• 49 different CryptoWall distribution campaigns
• Out of 49, a single campaign, dubbed as "crypt100", infected as many as 15,000 computers worldwide
• cybercriminals behind the ransomware are likely to a singular group due to several similarities
• Same hacker group generated more than $18 Million in the past year alone from previous versions of CryptoWall.

In summary, this single cybercriminal ring has generated as much as $325 million from the money paid by hundreds of thousands of CryptoWall 3.0 victims around the world to get their encrypted files unlocked.

 

Tor Just Released an Anonymous Messenger - see how to use

#Who Knows!

#Should We Trust this? :)

The Tor Project  claims to have launched the first beta version of Tor Messenger, its open source and Encrypted instant messaging client that works with the Tor network.

The team claimed that their app encrypts the content of instant messages as well as makes it very difficult for snoopers and eavesdroppers to identify the user sending them.

i will quote from the Tor messenger site below

Tor Messenger is a cross-platform chat program that aims to be secure by default and sends all of its traffic over Tor. It supports a wide variety of transport networks, including Jabber (XMPP), IRC, Google Talk, Facebook Chat, Twitter, Yahoo, and others; enables Off-the-Record (OTR) Messaging automatically; and has an easy-to-use graphical user interface localized into multiple languages.

This App tried to put simplicity and privacy in one and run on versions of Windows, Mac, or Linux PC

HOW IT WORKS

 The Messenger integrates the "Off-the-Record" (OTR) to encrypt messages and then routes them over Tor network in the same manner as the Tor Browser does for the web.

The app was built on Mozilla's instant messaging client Instantbird

HERE IS AN INSTALL GUIDE

• Download Tor from here
• Drag the app to your Applications folder
• Run and launch the app (beta version)
• Log in to your preferred instant messaging service or services
• Once logged in, you will be able to chat securely and anonymously without any further extra hacking.

The Messenger client currently supports:

• Jabber (XMPP) chat protocol
• IRC (Internet Relay Chat)
• Facebook Chat
• Google Talk
• Twitter
• Yahoo!
• Desktop clients like Adium for Mac and Pidgin for Windows

The Tor team's future Tor Messenger versions will include support for:

• Sandboxing (for increased security)
• Automatic updates
• OTR for Twitter DMs
• Better support for Tor's protocols
• Secure multi-party communication (np1sec)
• Encrypted File Transfers
