WhatsApp is implementing a new two-step verification process to boost security for users. The optional security feature significantly increases the hurdles that a third-party would have to get over to break into a user’s account. The feature, which has been in testing since November, is rolling out in stages. To turn on two-step verification, users need to log in to WhatsApp, navigate to Settings, then Account and enable Two-step verification. If activated, users will need to enter a six-digit security code in addition to their phone number and text message or voice call verification. They will also be asked to enter their security code once every seven days. Should users forget their security code, they can register an email address with WhatsApp and use it to turn off two-step verification. WhatsApp said : “We do not verify this email address to confirm its accuracy. We highly recommend you provide an accurate email address so that you’re not locked out of your accoun...

Twitter on Tuesday announced yet another crackdown on abusers. With the goal of making Twitter a safer place, it has come up with new ways to Prevent the creation of new abusive accounts; Make search safer; and Collapse potentially abusive or low-quality tweets. Twitter also pledged to persist in its anti-abuse endeavors, saying it would keep rolling out product changes, some more visible than others, and updating users on its progress every step of the way. Twitter “is more vulnerable than other social media because people expect it to be their link to the world, and not just their friends,” noted Jim McGregor, a principal analyst at Tirias Research. “People use it for news and for access to quick gossip,” he told TechNewsWorld, adding that its open-ended structure makes it an easier target for abuse.

Twenty percent of the Dark Net was taken offline last week, when a hacker compromised a server hosting some 10,000 websites on the Tor network. Tor, designed to hide the identities of its users, is widely used on the Dark Web, which isn't indexed by mainstream search engines and serves as a hub for illegal online activities. Visitors to the affected pages were greeted with the message, "Hello, Freedom Hosting II, you've been hacked." Freedom Hosting II is the server that hosted the Tor pages. The attacker, who has claimed to be part of the hacker collective Anonymous, reportedly took Freedom Hosting II offline because 50 percent of its sites contained child pornography. The original Freedom Hosting sites hosted as much as 50 percent of the Dark Web's pages as of 2013, when it was taken down by law enforcement. A number of child porn prosecutions followed that action.. READ MORE HERE

Stop watching too much TV If you spend too much time watching TV, you are wasting your life away. I feel really strongly about this one. I don’t have cable, and while I do watch some shows on Netflix, it’s few and far between. I only watch TV after I really am relaxed and need a break. I’m also careful not to turn on the TV right when I get home. I find that if I do this, I’m sucked in. This is why I keep my reading list and focus on reading good books instead. So, start to pay attention to how much TV you’re watching. If you think it’s too much, cut back. Limit your TV intake to 30 minutes to 1 hour per day, if possible. Stop talking about people behind their backs Talking about someone behind her back is a bad idea for a number of reasons. First, if someone is talking to you behind someone else’s back, you can bet on it that they also will talk about you. Second, did you know that when you talk about someone negatively, the person who you’re talking to will associate yo...

Dr Ben Chumo Kenya Power will roll out its fiber to home connections in December after a series of delays, Managing Director Ben Chumo has said. The utility firm, which signed a memorandum of understanding with Safaricom in April, is targeting 12,000 homes in Nairobi in the pilot phase before rolling out the service countrywide. Speaking to Citizen Digital, Dr Ben Chumo said the Internet connections to homes will offer an alternative revenue stream as the firm cuts its reliance on electricity sales. “We have close to 5 million homes connected to the grid and we want to take advantage of the grid to deliver the fibre to homes. We are talking about 20 million people at once,” said the MD. Kenya power formed an Internet service provider subsidiary dubbed Kenya Power International to handle its Internet business. Kenya Power will provide its vast infrastructure covering 4,000 kilometers in length of fibre-optic cable that will ride on its power lines. Chumo added that ...

Miguna Miguna on JKL Show/Photo by Standard Digital PART I - Published on Facebook on March 14, 2016 11:30 pm “We have no right to believe that freedom can be won without struggle.” – Che Guevera. Kenya is at a crossroads. If the 2017 elections is mismanaged, bungled or rigged, there will be apocalyptic violence, which could quickly degenerate into a civil war. A civil war means senseless loss of innocent lives and wanton destruction of property. It would also mean the end of peace, stability and prosperity as we have known them. Such a grim prospect must be avoided. Yet, we cannot prevent such catastrophe if we continue electing thieves, looters, drug runners, liars and hypocrites; people who will say just about anything to get elected so that they can continue stealing our money and public land. We have clear choices in the forthcoming elections: we can choose to continue with the same scandals, thieves, looters and drug lords, or we can choose clean, progressive an...
