The primary objective of the honeypot is to provide cyber security situational intelligence and also to research the threats that operators face and to learn how to better protect against those threats. From the gathered information we note that at one any time we are under attack either directly or indirectly. Over the last 24 hours we see persistent attacks from the following sources (countries). This information confirms the fact that cyber-attacks are real happenings and are a global problem.

New Apple iPhone X "the future of the smartphone."
by WANGARI KABIRU 15 Sep '17

15 Sep '17

"...I understood what Tim Cook meant when he called it "the future of the smartphone." Apple's not the only company betting on this version of the future, where phones have amazing cameras and no bezel, but it's doing a lot of things right....It's an absolutely beautiful device, especially in black.........And the X appears perfectly suited for the augmented reality future Apple imagines: I tested an app similar to Snapchat's lenses, and the front-facing camera perfectly mapped a series of masks onto even the tiniest contours of my face. The animoji flexed with even the most minute twinge of my eyebrows. I played a game and it worked seamlessly through the rear camera. What developers make of augmented reality is one question, but Apple's hardware appears ready to handle the future." https://www.wired.com/story/hands-on-with-the-iphone-x?mbid=nl_091417_gadge… Blessed Furahi day!

Yahoo! Email Address Subscribers

Hello Listers, If you are a user of @yahoo.SOMETHING e-mail address or anything that is related to Yahoo (there are a number), then please note that someone using Yahoo or it's affiliates decided to flag mails from this mailing list as spam. I woke up this morning to hundreds of bounces from Yahoo. You might NOT be able to see mail from this list for some time. Unfortunately, as one of the List Administrators, I am not so keen on resolving this, because I think people are supposed to have stopped using Yahoo anyway. Hopefully it resolves itself. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 "Oh, the cruft."

ISACA The State of Cybersecurity 2016 Report - 6 out of 10 Do Not Believe

http://www.isaca.org/cyber/Documents/State-of-Cybersecurity-infographic.pdf "...6 out of 10 do not believe that their staff can handle anything beyond simple cybersecurity incidents...'' For organisation wide vulnerability reduction, and especially with SMEs for whom minor shocks may be catastrophic, the skills and know-how must be organisation wide, not just resident with the tech teams and increasingly with the Boards who determine the investment direction. Be blessed. Regards/Wangari--- Pray God Bless. 2013Wangari circa - "Being of the Light, We are Restored Through Faith in Mind, Body and Spirit; We Manifest The Kingdom of God on Earth".
