Twas confirmed by microsoft that a portion of the source code for windows 10 has leaked. this contains software elements  which may present an opportunity for hackers to exploit such weakness.

The leak was described by U.K tech site, THE REGISTER, as a massive trove including both code for USB and Wi-Fi modules and full unreleased builds of Windows 10 and server 2016

TRANSFER NEWS: STOP TALKING ABOUT ME, SAYS VERATTI




There have been heavy links between PSG Veratti and Barcelona. The midfielder seems to be excited about this and has shown in so many ways that he would like to join Barcelona. Though PSG will not make that easy, he plans to force his way through.

Recently, a journalist wrote that Veratti said he could still stay at PSG provided the club invested heavily to improve the squad this summer by buying stars. Veratti hit back and made known his thoughts. He said " I have not given an interview to anyone and i never discussed with PSG what was explained in the article in that way. I hope that you will stop talking about what you know nothing about. Everyone has their  limits"

This obviously suggest that the interview published by the Journalist named Alessandro Grandesso was false. Meanwhile the journalist himself replied by tweeting this: "7 years of professionalism. i confirm everything "

So who do we hold on too? Time will tell. But for the main time, maybe we should stop talking about Veratti!

Smartphone PINs Can be retrieved in SECONDS Via thermal cameras:Android users at risk


A thermal-imaging camera would easily be able to get your phone's pass code from the heat marks left on the screen, researchers have said.

Heat traces transferred from a user's hand to the screen while typing in you PIN could be the giveaway, a paper by four researchers at Stuttgart University says.

The traces are recovered and used to reconstruct the password - even up to 30 seconds after the device was last touched, The Atlantic reports

According to MIRROR, someone typing in a PIN number with four different digits would unknowingly leave behind four heat traces, each slightly different temperatures


The researchers came up with a six step plan of extracting PIN numbers.

A thermal camera set to capture temperatures between about 66 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit takes a picture of the screen.


Software can then convert the color image to grayscale and applies a filter.

After that, the background is removed entirely, leaving just the heat traces.

These can then be detected and extracted and for a PIN, this will result in one to four circles.



Accoding to MIRROR,The success rate of this thermal cameras have been high

ADVISE FROM ENADENUGA BLOG:

° Try to clean the screen of your phone each day to remove traces of your pin or pattern drawn by your hand....

°If you have a fingerprint enabled phone, use it preferably..

ILLEGALLY REFINED CRUDE OIL WORTH N420bn SEIZED BY NAVY



The Nigerian Navy said on Wednesday that it seized 810,725 metric tonnes of stolen crude in 2016 alone.

The service also seized 1,078,104 metric tonnes of illegally-refined diesel last year and destroyed 181 illegal refineries.

It also arrested 33 vessels.

The Navy put the financial worth of the seized crude oil and diesel at N420.1billion, excluding the value of vessels, boats and vehicles seized by them.

The Chief of Naval Staff, Vice-Admiral Ibok Ekwe-Ibas, gave the figures at the National Assembly in Abuja when he appeared before the House of Representatives Committee on Navy to defend the NN’s 2017 budget proposals.

The CNS spoke just as the Chairman of the committee, Mr. Abdussamad Dasuki, disclosed that inadequate funding of the NN had resulted in an annual economic loss of N3trillion by the country.

The amount is almost half of Nigeria’s 2017 budget estimates of N7.298trillion.

Giving further details of its operations in 2016, Ekwe-Ibas said 38 barges and 263 wooden boats were destroyed.

He added that 53 other boats were arrested; 784 suspects were arrested; 145 outboard engines were confiscated; and 135 speedboats arrested.

A man shot a baby of 18months old just to keep the baby quiet



A 24-year-old father of two, Jordan Walters, has pleaded guilty to shooting his neighbour’s 18-month old baby to quieten the crying baby.

The victim-toddler, Harry Studley, was visiting a flat shared by Walters and his partner, Emma Horseman, both of whom have two sons aged two years and two months respectively.

As reported by Metro, Harry was in company with his mother, Amy Allen, and two-year-old brother, Riley.

Amy’s children were crying and Horseman allegedly told Walters – who was cleaning his rifle – to “shoot Harry just to frighten him, shut him up, shoot it at Harry.”

In his deposition before the jury, Walter said he thought the weapon was empty; so he “aimed the gun at Harry and fired it right into his head.”

The bullet penetrated the toddler’s skull and emergency surgery saved his life but no one could say if he will make a full recovery.

And while Walters pleaded guilty, Horseman, also 24, denied the charge. Their trial commences today (Monday).

Can you just imagine the nonsense !!!

Unbelieveable!!! A woman survives without lungs for six days



In what is believed to be the first procedure of its kind in the world, doctors in Canada have saved a young mother’s life by removing her lungs for six days while she waited for a transplant.

Last April, Melissa Benoit arrived at a Toronto hospital with a severe lung infection. Doctors soon realised that Benoit, who had been born with cystic fibrosis, had just hours to live, leading them to consider the unprecedented approach.

“It was a difficult discussion because when we’re talking about something that had never to our knowledge been done before, there were a lot of unknowns,” Dr. Niall Ferguson of the University Health Network, the health authority responsible for the Toronto general hospital, told a news conference on Wednesday.

A recent bout with influenza had left the then 32-year-old fighting off respiratory failure, forcing doctors to keep her sedated and on a ventilator to help her breathe.

“She got into a spiral from which her lungs were not going to recover,” said Ferguson. “Her only hope of recovery was a lung transplant.”

Benoit was put on a temporary life support device but her condition continued to deteriorate; the bacteria in her lungs became resistant to most antibiotics, sending her body into septic shock and her blood pressure dropping.

One by one, her organs began shutting down.

Her team of doctors gathered together to weigh a bold solution they had contemplated for years but never carried out – the removal of both her lungs in hopes of eliminating the source of the bacterial infection.

The list of unknowns was long, from the risk of bleeding into the empty chest cavity to whether her blood pressure and oxygen levels could be sustained once her lungs were removed.

“What helped us is the fact that we knew it was a matter of hours before she would die,” said Dr. Shaf Keshavjee, one of three surgeons who operated on Benoit. “That gave us the courage to say, if we’re ever going to save this woman, we’re going to do it now.”

Benoit’s husband, Chris, gave doctors the go-ahead, thinking of their three-year-old daughter.

“We needed this chance,” he said. “Things were so bad for so long, we needed something to go right.”

In mid-April, a team of 13 began a nine-hour surgery to remove Benoit’s lungs. Filled with mucous, each lung was swollen and as hard as a football, said Keshavjee. “Technically, it was difficult to get them out of her chest.”

Hours later, her condition began to dramatically improve. “And literally within minutes – it was probably around 20 minutes after having taken those infected lungs out – her blood pressure normalised, and they could remove all the blood-pressure-supporting drugs and just leave her on the pumps that were providing the circulation,” Keshavjee told the Canadian Press.

A small artificial lung was connected to Benoit’s heart, while other devices oxygenated and circulated her blood. As they waited for replacement lungs to become available, doctors wondered how long she could be supported like this. “We didn’t know if we’d get (them) in one day or one month,” said Keshavjee.

Six days later, a pair of donor lungs became available and Benoit underwent a successful lung transplant.
Since then, her strength has steadily improved. Months in the hospital had initially left her without the ability to hold her head up, sit up or stand, but in the past month she has begun walking without a cane or walker.

The ordeal also damaged her kidneys, but Benoit is soon hoping to be well enough to receive a kidney transplant from her mother.

When Benoit first learned of the surgery that had saved her life, she didn’t believe it.

“It took me a while to realise what happened. I just couldn’t piece it together,” she said. “You really come from the brink of death to back living at home. But I’m just so grateful, so happy to be home.”

Doctors who go on strike faces jail threat



A Kenyan Court on Thursday ordered doctors to end a strike in the next five days or face jail after a stoppage of more than six weeks that has plunged state hospitals into crisis at the start of an election year.

Justice Hellen Wasilwa had initially handed union leaders a suspended one-month sentence on January 12 after they defied a December ruling declaring the strike illegal.

She had also given them a two-week period for negotiations to avoid jail.

On Thursday, she extended the period for the doctors to call off the strike by five days.

“The role of this court is to bring a solution, and an amicable solution,’’ she said when announcing the extension.

Several thousand doctors and their supporters marched from the court to the centre of Nairobi for a meeting where union leaders were to discuss their response to the court order

Courtesy of Fayose, DSS plan of arresting apostle Suleiman in the middle of the night fails



The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, in the early hours of Wednesday prevented the operatives of the Department of State Services from arresting the founder of The Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide, Apostle Johnson Suleiman, in Ado Ekiti.

The Pastor, who is in Ekiti for a two-day crusade that began on Tuesday, was alleged to have been preaching against Islamising Nigeria and asked members of his church in Auchi, Edo State to resist killings by suspected Fulani herdsmen.

Fayose, who had participated in the first day of the programme, received a distress call from the pastor after paying a courtesy call to the Government House.

It was learnt that the operatives of the DSS stormed the hotel room of the pastor in Adebayo area of the State capital and almost forced their way to his room.

They were, however, resisted by security men of the hotel that insisted on knowing their mission.

Minutes later, Fayose led a rescue mission to the hotel and saved the pastor from being arrested by the operatives.

Narrating his ordeal to journalists around 2am on Wednesday, Suleiman said, “I came to Ado Ekiti for a crusade. But I had a premonition that I was being trailed after I preached that Christians should retaliate any attack or killings by the Fulani herdsmen. These Fulani herdsmen had turned many Christians to orphans and widowers but the time has come to protect ourselves.

“I received several calls from hidden numbers trying to locate where I am and I had warned my security not to allow any Fulani man to come nearer me. So when the men of DSS came in the middle of the night I knew their mission and I had to call the Governor because if they arrest me, they will put this country on fire.”

Fayose, who criticised the DSS for ambushing a man of God on crusade, said he expected the security agency to show decorum.

“I expected the security operatives to invite him if they have any issue with him instead of arresting him in the dead of the night after a powerful andw spirit-filled crusade in my State.

“I personally attended his crusade and I think it is wrong for a man of God, who is armless, that could be invited to be ambushed. If they have any issue against him. Are Christians and Moslems under different dispensation of the rule of law?. That’s why I went there to rescue him. Let them kill two of us together. But when they saw my vehicles and the crowd, they fled
