Important study..and findings. 1. Zero-rating did not bring most mobile Internet users online for the first time. 2. The vast majority of users (82%) prefer access to the full Internet with time or data limitations, if restrictions are imposed. 3. Public WiFi is the primary means of connection for one in five users. Digging into the data: Is zero-rating connecting the unconnected? | Alliance for Affordable Internet Regards, Nanjira.

There's also a somewhat massive dump of Paypal credentials on sale on an onion-bound .ru forum , and has been so for the last 21 hours. There's also a thread on it on r/SysAdmin (Reddit) and it seems to be legitimate. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/06/01/teamviewer_mass_breach_report/ Take care of yourselves out there, fellows. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nairobi GNU/Linux User Group" group.
