tribalistseun:You either didn't read my post very well or you read it but didn't understand before replying. I never mentioned a word about environment. |
onespecial:Unfortunately you are misunderstanding me because all I am saying is that freedom fighters from that part of the country should look for other means to solve these issues. Hostilities in the Niger Delta won't do indigenes any good. |
At the end of the day, it is the guys from the Niger Delta Region that suffer. Scaring away investors when states, regions and countries are wooing them is the most backward decision or step anyone can take in such a time as this. |
They should change their name from Nollywood to Nollyevil. |
cynthia123:Each time the world talks about scam, the name Nigeria shows up--It's so depressing... |
The Nigerian cyber-crime scene, famous for its Nigerian Prince and 419 scam tactics, has evolved to using malware and is now actively targeting enterprises using BEC (Business Email Compromise) techniques, a SecureWorks investigation has revealed. For many years, the Internet has been plagued by massive spam floods, in most instances carrying emails from Nigerian cyber-crime crews that were trying to extort and fool home users into sending them money via various methods. Historically, these crews have been calling themselves "yahoo-yahoo boys," "yahoo boiz," or "G-boys." As time passed and as the Internet population got more educated, their tactics became known and entered the Internet lore. As such, a change was needed. "Nigerian scammers shift focus to businesses" Riding the rising wave of BEC scams, Nigerian scam crews have shifted their focus towards businesses instead of home users. Using BEC (Business Email Compromise) and BES (Business Email Spoofing) tactics, these crews are targeting the email communications between companies, looking for orders and invoices. The scammers compromise email servers or email accounts, search for ongoing business leads, and register look-alike domains in order to intervene as a middleman between those email exchanges. Most of the time they clumsily edit emailed PDF invoices, adding their bank account details instead of the correct one. They also send spoofed emails claiming to be one or another high-ranking exec inside a company, requiring an urgent payment. The first method seems to be more lucrative than the second since it's harder to spot. "WWG1 uses email bombs and RATs" SecureWorks says it discovered a group which they named "Wire-Wire Group 1" (WWG1) or Threat Group-2798 (TG-2798), actively targeting businesses. This group uses commodity remote access trojans (RATs), which they email en-masse to victims in a tactic called email bomb. The malware is used to infect targets, get control over their PC, and gather intelligence. SecureWorks says the group is not particularly apt at dealing with malware but has one member that handles this operation. In fact, the group managed to infect one of their own computers, allowing SecureWorks experts that were investigating the RAT's server to discover details about their operations. "WWG1 has over 30 members" WWG1 consists of over 30 members, most of which are from their late twenties up to the forties, operate from home, don't flaunt their wealth on social media, and are very active in their local churches. This is opposite from the image of yahoo boyz everyone had in the past, of college teens that operate from cyber-cafes, and show off on social media. In fact, most of the Nigerian BEC scammer gangs don't use the yahoo boyz term to describe themselves, but use expressions such as "wire-wire," "waya-waya," or "the new G-work." What businesses should do, according to SecureWorks, is to implement 2FA for corporate and personal email accounts, inspect corporate email control panels for suspicious redirect rules, carefully review current and past wire transfers for the correct payment details, and use non-email channels to confirm wire transfers with their business partners. To help enterprises targeted by this kind of BEC groups, the company has even published a tool that can analyze PDFs and highlight any later edits, such as new bank account numbers overlaid on top of the original document.

HAH:Below is a screenshot of the reply I got to the question on whether or not the stations will remain after the Olympics:
|
HAH:Does it mean they will all be removed as soon as the Olympics ends? |
Noticed it too--hopefully it's not a mistake. As a matter of fact that could just be the reason they have been asking customers to stay hooked to GOTv for the next three months. We might see an additional Bouquet in the next couple of days or weeks. Was on their website a couple of minutes ago, and its like it's official because those sports channels have indeed been added. Please have a look at the channels here: http://nigeria.gotvafrica.com/Whats-On/default.aspx?section=channels&bouquet=gotvplus |
chatom143:How do I get in touch with you, I live in Lagos |
chatom143:Please can you help me unlock my black Spectranet mifi modem? |
Rossikk:Little minds resort to abuse and words that show how poorly trained they are when they respond to other people's opinions with words like "rubbish" etc...Grow up and respond to comments with some measures of civility. |
Godliness and orderliness reigned in those days unlike what we have these days where herdsmen have taken over our major cities. |
Put your contacts here because that link is not working |
If Trump truly made this statement 18 years ago and still go ahead to win November election, then Republicans are truly dumb!!!
|
Can you post the images of the Windows Tablet here for me to see? |
PassingShot:Christianity is not in competition with Islam or any other belief because Christianity is NOT a religion. Christianity is not the way to Heaven; Jesus is. |
The message on your phone says "only for you." So it's probably not for everyone. |
Are you trying to say individuals don't pay tax aunty Lynda? |
okomogo:Should an organization or individual be allowed to roam about freely even when there are obvious proofs he is owing the state. Perhaps we should stop taking sides and look beyond petty politics to move Nigeria ahead. If Bruce's organization is owing the nation then let him pay. |
Stone age bank. Trouble looms for the branch manager for this bad publicity the bank is getting. |
iamdotune:Yet they behead and kill people who don't have the same belief as them. Wonder what your "definition" of trouble is. |
crazymommy:How long does it take to receive money from any part of the world like Canada to Nigeria for instance and how safe is it? Thanks. |
Do you have any Android phone around 10k? |
Just how true is this about guys and ladies?

Highly innovative and encouraging. Better than chopping off people's head in the name of religion. Get busy farming... |
KillerBeauty:Some of them are terribly annoying |
I am not surprised--Nwanyi Mbaise. |
Hope it's not true--can't seem to trust the source |
