Cyber-security researchers from Have I Been Squatted carried out an analysis of how the attack worked and say the new wave of recruitment scams are hard to spot.”This wasn’t a badly written email with a suspicious attachment – this person was walked through what looked like a real job interview, on real Google pages, behind a real Google login, and the software they were asked to install was digitally signed like any legitimate app,” said chief executive Juxhin D Brigjaj.The case comes as others have reported similar attacks through the job listing platform Indeed, which put out advice in July…

The Plateau State Government has ordered the temporary closure of all public and private primary and secondary schools as part of measures to contain suspected cases of diphtheria in the state.

The government said the measure followed the reporting of suspected diphtheria cases in Jos North, Wase, Jos South, and Bassa Local Government Areas. Schools that have resumed academic activities are required to close from Monday and remain shut until further notice, the statement…

Robert Pattinson hopes Chris Hansen is a fan “Primetime,” a tense thriller about the television journalist and “To Catch a Predator” host, which premieres on Saturday afternoon at the Venice Film Festival. The real-life Hansen has been vocal about his take on the movie, which he said he hasn’t seen because he declined to sign A24‘s standard NDA. But Hansen said that based on the trailer, he finds Pattinson’s portrayal “overly dramatic.” (However, he admitted that his family “seem to think it’s a pretty good imitation.”) “Obviously, I hope he likes the movie,” Pattinson said on Saturday’s Venice Film Festival…

For decades shapewear has been used to compress and cinch. But now there is a sub-genre emerging. Rather than shrinking a silhouette, it aims to add inches.This week M&S launched a bodysuit that features exaggerated padding at the hip allowing the wearer to create an hourglass shape, or at least the illusion of one.Similar to how bra inserts, AKA chicken fillets, are used to add extra volume to breasts, the £28 “hip boost” features pockets on each side of the suit that allow the wearer to add in enhancing pads.Charlotte Davies, the director of lingerie at the retailer, says the…

By Mobolaji Sanusi “A slip of the foot you may soon recover, but a slip of the tongue you may never get over.”— Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) Politics is globally acknowledged as a game of intrigue, which explains why political parties, their candidates and supporters deploy all manner of strategies to outwit one another. This is particularly evident during the campaign season that precedes an election. At the moment, the campaign veil has been lifted as a prelude to the general elections in early 2027, and politicians across the country, from various political parties, are leaving nothing to chance. Politicians have…

Living in Northern California, I’ve seen the new Tesla Cybercabs driving around, particularly when I’ve been in Palo Alto (Tesla’s NorCal HQ). The futuristic cars apparently have no steering wheel and no pedals – something I didn’t personally notice as I watched them driving around — but by now we’re starting to get used to the idea of driverless cars between the Waymos and, before they ended the program, self-driving Chevy Bolt EV’s operated by Cruise. The others, with visible sensors and cameras hanging off every corner of the vehicles, look like prototypes. The sleek Cybercab, by contrast, looks like…

Picture humanity in a boat being swept down a raging river, praying there is no Niagara Falls ahead. Or imagine standing with the pioneering physicists in 1942 before they triggered the first self-sustaining nuclear fission chain reaction beneath a Chicago stadium.These were two of the analogies used this week by Prof Robert Trager, an expert in the nascent field of AI governance, to describe the perilous but potential-filled moment the world stands at with accelerating artificial intelligence.Trager, the director of the Oxford Martin AI Governance Initiative, was speaking in the week OpenAI claimed the technology had crossed the threshold known…

By Adeola Akinremi In August 2018, when I arrived at Johns Hopkins University–SAIS for my graduate to study Public Policy, I did not anticipate that President Bola Tinubu would become a case study for one of my classes. But he showed up. The course was Energy and Environment, and the case study was titled Remaking a Neglected Megacity: A Civic Transformation in Lagos State, 1999–2012. It was not only Johns Hopkins University. Harvard University studied it. Princeton University studied it. Cornell University and many other institutions in their league studied it. The subject was Lagos, and the man at the…
