5TH ADAP WEBINAR 24TH APRIL 2020 (HIDDEN LAPTOP CYBER RANGE)
by Gichuki John Chuksjonia 24 Apr '20

24 Apr '20

Good evening team, As promised during the last Idefend Conference, we will show case how Forkbombo Cyber Cartel was using hidden laptops to laterally infect systems in an infrastructure. For those who missed my talk on ForkbomboCyberCartel, you can access it here <http://www.onnetservices.io/Public/IDefendCON-TheCyberCartel.pdf>. Since this Cartel broke up in 2017, after the major arrests of their leadership, the Tactics Techniques and Procedures, to bring hidden laptops inside Banks, Saccos, MFIs and even Government Financial Institutes haven't died off. Due to the amount of robberies happening right now by different groups, it's imperative to learn this exception TTP and the reason why uprooting these devices is paramount to counter cyber operations. Kindly join us tomorrow, from 1500 hrs to 1630 hrs for Hidden laptop Cyber range Webinar by sending an email for registration to training(a)onnetservices.biz Thank you, see you then. -- -- OnNet CTO http://www.onnetservices.io @onnetservices

Capacity building for Malware Analysts
by Richard Otolo 22 Apr '20

22 Apr '20

Dear Listers, With the increasing spate of malware attacks, we have come up with the below initiative. Malware (malicious software) is mainly developed and operated by cyber criminals. Malware attacks are increasing in both frequency and sophistication, thus posing a serious threat to essential services and infrastructure on our continent. To help address this issue, @iLabAfrica IT Security Center is running an introductory course on malware analysis that will provide an understanding of malware, how malware it works, how it has shaped the global cyber security landscape, and the technical skills required to analyze a malware sample. Participants will also learn basic techniques to uncover malware features to support the procedures in a forensic investigation process. Please refer to the poster below for more details. We also did a free webinar to set the stage for the course. It is available here https://youtu.be/tc-4X1etFiY [image: image.png] Kind regards, *Richard Otolo* *IT Security Manager* *@iLabAfrica* *Email*: rotolo(a)strathmore.edu *Office Tel: *+254 (0) 703 034661 *Ext:* 2661 | *Cell*: (Work) +254 (0) 731 269 789 *Cell*: (Home) +254 (0) 723 385 705 * Skype: *richard.otolo www.strathmore.edu, www.ilabafrica.ac.ke <https://twitter.com/iLabAfrica> <https://www.facebook.com/iLabAfricaStrathmore/?fref=ts> <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeo0kj1SRiVkje78cyxnAzQ> <https://plus.google.com/110890271788869052448/posts> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/2596334?trk=tyah&trkInfo=clickedVertical%3…> <https://www.instagram.com/ilabafrica/?hl=en> -- *Note: *All emails sent from Strathmore University are subject to Strathmore’s Email Terms & Conditions.

Re: [kictanet] Sector Statistics Report Q2 2019-2020 (kanini mutemi)
by Matunda Nyanchama 21 Apr '20

21 Apr '20

Very good points Mwendwa Kivuva. I know that all registered SIMs have associated user identifications, as in National ID. It would be very easy to use the ID as the key for any such stats. I don't understand why CA should take that long to compute numbers on that basis. .................. Mwendwa, That formula is problematic. For you to arrive at a more than perfect percentage, what is your base? What does that statistic tell us? Yes, more than one person owns more than one SIM card- but what population of the country owns more than one SIM card? Is it a wealth and status measure? Is it a measure as to how many SIM cards have been sold and registered. Sigh. Problematic mathematics. When they used similar terms to put a number on internet penetration levels in 2018- the folly was clear- do you mean there is a higher internet penetration level than the number of people? Are we counting IoT devices as people?
