A new variant of ransomware known as Locky (detected by Symantec as Trojan.Cryptolocker.AF ) has been spreading quickly since it first appeared on Tuesday (February 16). The attackers behind Locky have pushed the malware aggressively, using massive spam campaigns and compromised websites. Locky encrypts files on victims’ computers and adds a .locky file extension to them. The ransom demand varies between 0.5 to 1 bitcoin (approximately US$210 to $420). One of the main routes of infection has been through spam email campaigns , many of which are disguised as invoices . Word documents containing a malicious macro are attached to these emails . Symantec detects these malicious attachments as W97M.Downloader . If this macro is allowed to run, it will install Locky onto the victim’s computer. Symantec telemetry indicates that Locky was spread by at least five different spam campaigns on February 16. Most of the spam emails seen had a subject line that read “ATTN: Invoice J-[RAND...

More than 8,000 National Youth Service (NYS) recruits have been sent home after their passing-out parade was delayed. The passing-out parade has been delayed by five months for lack of funds to meet the cost of the elaborate ceremony. Reliable sources within Gilgil NYS Training Institute told The Standard that the recruits, who have been at the camp for 11 months, were sent home on Thursday to await further communication. "There is no day recruits are allowed to go home in the middle of the course. Even us we went through the same training and it's the posting station that gives such a permission, not the college," said the source. The source said trainees were being served black tea in the morning after powder milk imported from China during former Devolution Cabinet Secretary Anne Waiguru's tenure was suspended. President uhuru at a past PASS out parade for NYS "The training institute is completely rotten and Kenyans should be told the truth. Those ...

The main source of leaked national examination papers last year was a teacher in Mandera County, a confidential government report has revealed. The deputy principal of a school in Wargadud, near El Wak on the Kenya-Ethiopia border, confessed to Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) investigators how he had planned to steal the exam since July last year with the collusion of police officers from the region. According to the report by KNEC and the Directorate of Criminal Investigation, the teacher also detailed how the exam was distributed to his students, who then forwarded it to their friends in Nairobi via mobile phones. Also involved in the scheme was a student at the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, who distributed it widely on behalf of the teacher, also raking in millions of shillings. Although the report, dated December 5, 2015, says that the teacher was arrested, he has not been charged to date despite giving a secretly recorded confess...

1. She values education and career over marriage and relationship. 2. At age 28, she has more liquor in her refrigerator than fruits and vegetables. 3. At age 27, she’s quaffing neat whiskies like a sailor. 4. She’s into cigarette smoking, or in worst case scenario, addicted to weed. 5. Her idea of fun at age 30 is a night out with the girls. 6. At age 30, she still insists on only dating a tall, dark and handsome guy who is monied and with a six-pack to boot. 7. The idea of cooking for a man is a total turn-off to her. 8. She has never forgiven her father for abusing her mother, or her first boyfriend used to abuse her and she now thinks every man is violent and controlling. 9. She is so much into fashion, and her fortnightly combined expenditure on manicure, pedicure and hair-styling is enough to settle one month’s rent for a three-bedroom house in South C. 10. She is turned on more by boardroom politics than the the pleasurable and humane joys of holding her baby....

VIP protection is simply the most thankless job in the country. Basically, your job is to detect and deter threats to your boss. But as soon as you report to work, you become everything. You are sent shopping, you drop kids to school, collect debt for the boss and wife, you are the errand man to the pharmacy to buy v!@gra, cond0ms and PS. You deliver messages and threats to the large har3m the boss has, you sometimes intervene in fights between the boss and his women. You report to work at 4am and follow the boss to weddings, toilets, hotels, funerals, rallies, witchdoctors’, houses, several mistresses, hospital and godforsaken villages. And when you happen to witness any of his illegal activities from drugs to child trafficking, your own life is in danger. His family and friends treat you like a slave. When he goes into private meetings chewing succulent goat thighs, you seat yawning in the car in blistering afternoon heat. For hours. You reported to work at 4am but you haven...

DP Ruto Commissioning the upgrade of Premier -Kabianga-Taplotin Road It comes barely a month after President Uhuru Kenyatta ordered that travel budgets for ministries, departments and agencies be cut by half to funnel more funds into development spending. Robert Shaw, a Nairobi economist, described the 163 per cent budget increase for Mr Ruto’s office as going above acceptable margins, saying a 10-20 per cent rise would be appropriate. “Whatever public duties he is doing, we have to bear in mind that there has to be more prudent use of public resources,” Mr Shaw said. “This is especially so if you consider that some of this is borrowed money and that there is a desperate need for money to be spent on basic services like education and health.” Overall, the Office of the Deputy President has been allocated an extra Sh271 million in the mini-budget — to be spent in the remaining three months of the fiscal year ending June.

Shell-petrol-attendant-filling-up-petrol The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) has exposed tens of unscrupulous oil marketers who have been using kerosene to adulterate fuel before selling it to unsuspecting motorists. In the last six months, ERC says it has taken action against 56 petrol stations that were found culpable of selling adulterated oil or oil meant for export markets. Names of the offending pump stations are published in Monday’s  Daily Nation . Only two are in Nairobi. A statement from the commission accused the named oil marketers of mixing of diesel with kerosene or super petrol with kerosene in order to take advantage of the lower taxes on kerosene. They have had their stations closed, while others have been reopened after compliance and paying a fine of between Sh300,000 and Sh1.1 million. “Petroleum adulteration poses serious health, environmental, operational and economic hazards. Contaminated petrol and diesel causes engine malfunction resulting...

(Former vice-chancellor of Kenyatta University Olive Mugenda speaks during the launch of KU TV) Former Kenyatta University Vice-Chancellor (VC) Olive Mugenda has declined to take a hefty retirement package proposed by the institution. The university's Director of Communication Machua Koinange confirmed that Ms Mugenda had declined to accept the package, saying that she had received enough commendations especially on social media and she was just doing her job, therefore did not deserve any special treatment. “She had said she didn’t see the need of such a package since she was doing her job as a public servant who expected no special treatment upon her retirement,” stated Koinange. The University Council had reportedly decided to offer a Sh 100 Million send off package, as an appreciation for her development record during her 10-year tenure at the helm of KU's leadership. According to media reports, the former VC was to receive among others a Sh 10 Million ve...

Have a vision in mind.  Only you know what inspires you and brings meaning to your work. Write down the life you want to live and work toward that vision every single day. If your dream is to teach, and you have all of the necessary credentials and degrees in the works, keep chugging right along. If your dream career involves writing, consulting, designing, or editing, make it your personal mission to see your vision come to light. Following your heart really can pay off and your goals will come to fruition if you follow through with them. Establish networking goals.  Networking is a skill many of us think we’ve nailed, but one we could all polish a bit. No one’s “perfect” at it (or anything for that matter) but you should aim to being as concise, confident, and well-prepared as possible. When it comes to networking, set a goal for yourself. It can be a simple aim to network with at least one new person each week, or something more lofty, such as networking with s...

By William Shakespeare All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard, Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quar- rel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lined, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side, His youthful hose, well ...

Caroline Mawia By Cate Mukei  Who is Caroline Mawia? I am a 24-year-old, first-year student at the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) pursuing Mass Communication degree. I was born in Mwingi in Kitui County. My parents later separated and I moved to Garissa with my father and my other siblings. We were not rich, but life was bearable until my father’s death in 2011. What killed your father? He died in a grenade explosion in Garissa. Actually, he was featured in the newspapers. He died while undergoing treatment. I was in Form Three at the time. I dropped out of school for lack of fees. It took me about seven years to finish school. I came to Nairobi where I worked as a house cleaner. Where was your mother all this time? I stayed with her briefly but later moved out. She introduced me to prostitution. Her rent in Mwingi was Sh2,000 a month and she demanded I chip in. What about your siblings? I have three brothers. They are all working,...

Speaker Magelo Nairobi City County Assembly Speaker has asked county MCAs to concentrate on work and avoid crying like babies. Speaker Magelo who went on to ask Senate Speaker Ekwe Ethuro to rescue his House from domineering county chiefs, asked MCAs to concentrate on development issues. “It is important for the Senate to look for its babies so they don’t fall. Devolution starts with county assemblies,” Magelo implored Ethuro on March 9. Magelo who accused the governors of side-lining the MCAs, also blamed the Controller of Budget, Commission of Revenue Allocation, Salaries and Remuneration Commission and Kenya Revenue Authority of frustrating county representatives. “They have limited assembly operations budget at seven per cent of the county budget. We don’t get house allowances and the official car and home offered to me are taxed from my earnings, yet the governor is spared from taxation. This is wrong,” said Magelo. Speaker Ethuro promised to engage senators to hel...

By CITY GIRL Mothers of fat children should be ashamed of themselves. Behind every obese child is an equally obese and lazy mother. So you, a mother, are fat, unsightly and you have completely refused to run, to control your food portions or join the gym. Fine. Nobody cares anymore. It is your life. Plus size is beautiful. You are ‘flaunting your flaws’. You are comfortable in your own (thick) skin and all the other feminist hogwash you feed yourself. You have embraced your fast failing heart and chock-blocked capillaries and we are waiting for you to drop dead out of all that fried chicken you have stocked on. Any minute now. But it is unacceptable that you mom, are spreading that nonsense to the next generation. That you are rising the next generation of deluded ‘plus-size’ activists. It is a pity that mothers who have long lost the battle with weight are dragging along their children down this road to self-destruction while passing on the diabetes baton. They have destroye...

Egyptian club Zamalek have confirmed that Frank Nuttal has joined their technical bench as an assistant coach. Up until his appointment, the Scotsman was the head coach of Gor Mahia and he will now assist his compatriot and former Birmingham City and Aston Villa manager, Alex McLeish. McLeish was appointed to the position last month. Nuttal joins Zamalek when they are second on the Egyptian League table with 41 points from 21 matches. Zamalek’s eternal rivals Al Ahly lead the table with 47 points. He leaves K’Ogalo after 19 months in charge during which he won two league titles (2014 and 2015), KPL Top 8 (2015), DSTv Cup (2015) as well as led Gor Mahia to second place in the 2015 CECAFA Club Championship. He has been facing an uncertain future at Gor Mahia despite winning the league unbeaten last season and his exit comes as no surprise. The last few months have been punctuated with players’ unrest and departures over unpaid dues as well as fall-out between him and ...

Kenyan men whose wives have not been paying income tax run the risk of falling foul of the Kenyan law. This is due to an antiquated regulation which places the responsibility of settling a woman’s tax liabilities on the husband unless she formally decides to do so. Tax experts say the provision in Section 45 of the Income Tax Act, which dates back to the 1970s, is a relic of the past era when women were legally recognised as dependants of their husbands and is one of those earmarked for repeal during this year’s review of the tax law. Viva Africa, a legal and tax consultancy, recently sent shivers down the spine of thousands of married men with the release of an advisory alerting them of the legal exposure. Alice Owuor, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) Commissioner, Domestic Taxes, described the provision as antiquated and inappropriate going by the present realities. “It presupposes that the income of a married woman living with her husband is the income of the husband ...

The organizers of what has been dubbed as the biggest sex party in town insist that the event will go on as planned despite a public outcry that has seen the authorities outlawing the event. The Project X party organizers are also pointing an accusing finger on the media for negative publicity and reporting the news of the event out of context. “Its very saddening that the media has portrayed the event Project X in a manner that is wanting, branding the event as a sex party through the basis of one sentence ‘No one goes back home a virgin’ clearly shows how some media houses can be narrow minded,” the event organizers said in a statement that has been circulating on social media. Earlier on Saturday, the possibility of the party going on had been put in doubt after the police said the event won’t happen. “Our attention has been drawn to the hue and cry over an ongoing advertisement inviting interested youths to attend a party dubbed “Project X’ to be held on March 12 at a v...

CRA Chairman Micah Cheserem (Right) and Vice Chair person Fatuma Abdulkadir Commission on Revenue Allocation Chairman Micah Cheserem has said Kenya is living beyond its means. Mr Cheserem, who is a former Central Bank of Kenya governor, said the country needs to embrace austerity measures immediately. Cheserem told members of the National Assembly’s Liaison Committee that there is need to cut spending starting from State House. “We are living a lie, and somewhere down the line we must ask ourselves if we need 2,200 MCAs,” Cheserem said during a budget-making meeting with MPs. Among the expenditures he wants eliminated are allowances paid to senior government officials and elected leaders, including legislators, and instead grant them consolidated salaries. “We must go for austerity measures starting from the Head of State. If he has to travel, then the delegation must be reduced,” he added. His caution is pegged on the level of debt that the country has taken up and th...
