Has it ever occured to you that banking particulars may be phished when transacting an online banking transaction?Well,the probability is
high because of the vulnerabilities of Majority of web browsers and also the vulnerability found on
some mobile banking apps.
Well two guys decided to experiment on how your info can
be phished and be used resulting to financial drainage.One of the guys logged onto a free wifi (unsecured) and proceeded into logging into his
banking site and entered his sensitive banking particulars.(risky,huh)
The other guy on the other hand (a
hacker) was monitoring the guy's activity on another laptop.In real time,the hacker had intercepted the logon info and could use it to his
merit.Thats why its not advisable to be on unsecured wifi as a third party could be eavesdropping on your communication with the server.
Thats why i prefer mobile banking.In online banking,you are not sure if you are secure from certified black hats.In addition to that,your browser may be communicating to a man-in-the-middle(MITM attacks)
So what happens to the information that is stolen?Sometimes the information phished may be sold to other schemes in place to continue
with the vice.(like the nigerian 419 scams).A phishing site has a lifespan of 5 days.After that all the anti-phishing mechanisms
start wiping out all the rogue sites.
While transacting online,make sure there is a real time secure connection.(usually indicated by a 'padlock' on the top right corner of your webpage.
The moment you are
online,you cannot doubt the existence of black hats.
Stay secure

HOW SAFE ARE YOU WHILE ON UNPROTECTED WIFI
KANYE SLAMS HEAD ON A 'WRONG WAY'SIGN
 |
| youtube/TMZ |
I dont know why i find this funny.I was roaming on youtube when i came across this particular the ubiquitous kanye video.I'm still laughing.But i dont really know
why i find it funny
In the video,kanye can be seen accompanied by his wife kim coming out of a building head
down,paps keeping a distance for reasons best known to us(if kanye ranges close on them,they definately get bodied).Then 6seconds..BOOM!!Kanye slams
his head on a sign.
"Are you alright?"paps can be
heard asking.Kim tries to assess the Damage.Then kanye ranges close on the nearest pap "Dont take
pictures tsk"and walks away with kim to his left.
Now whats strange is that the sign
has a "WRONG WAY" written on it.Could this be symbolism or a indicator of kanye's life.Maybe It
was an indication that kanye needs to repent.Idk.It could symbolise the wrong way kanye is heading.(reminiscent of wrong turn )
Here is the video

PURGING THE FAKES FROM THE MARKET
Goldkey is a product i can say acts like a scratch card,just like 'glue-ing ' a scratch card on a product only that in this case the scratch card
contains all the details of the product which can be acquired after a potential buyer of a certain
scratches to reveal a digit number after which he or she follows the prompts.
Talking of prompts,These are the prompts you should follow to ensure the product you are buying is real:
1)Look out for the scratch off panel on the
product package.Gently rub off to reveal the pin
code
2)Go to www.1393.Co and your browser will
direct you to
where you'll proceed to enter the pin then send to the short sms special code
After that,you wait for a Yes/No confirmation is the product is LEGIT or not
VOILA!!!!!! Thumbs up to mPedigree network,continue with the same spirit
mPedigree=Bringing quality to life
But notice this can be achieved if product companies can work hand in hand with the network(mPedigree).
Are you a product company
tired of all the counterfeits (replica products)and want to realise your proceeds then contact and bring quality into life.

CUDDLING APP FOR THE SINGLES
 |
| cuddlr.com |
Cuddling on a regular basis satisfies a very basic human need.It makes one feel emotionally connected to the other.It's an essential part in
modern relationship.So what about the single people?Where can they get the snuggles when
they desperately need them?
Thanks to the cuddlr app,single people too have not been left out.I think that was the reason that led to the app founder to create the
app.Cuddlr is a location-based social-meeting app for cuddling with total strangers.Sounds creepy,right??(Chuckles)i know.
Cuddle is just like other social networking sites where you
connect with fellow cuddlers.When someone requests you for a cuddle,there’s a ticking time
clock counting down the minutes you have left to decide whether
you want to join them before the
request disappears — 60.When you're matched with someone, a real-time map populates with
both your locations and you can send a message to them.
I tend to compare cuddlr with apps like whatsapp since you can both meet up via the apps and also seems to have something similar
with yik yak since both apps involve
strangers.This is a nice way to get snuggles i.e for single people.But is cuddlr a hookup app
masquerading as a cuddling app?
Nothing can be far from the truth.This is an hookup app that is
masquerading as a cuddling app difference is that the aftermath of hooking up is on the hands
of the 'cuddlee'.He or she can go further from the intended subject(cuddling).
Few caveats though,this app can or may act as a haven for serial killers.Since its only strangers and this can only happen if you two
(cuddlers) meet at his or her house.Private cribs
should be a no-go zone.Successful cuddlers should meet at public spaces.But wait,cuddling
in the public with a complete stranger under the
watchful eyes of other strangers?(chuckles)I find
this awkward ,daamn!!
.All you need to do is arrange with a friend to act as your security in case
of anything goes wrong.Have a friend know your location when you meeting the cuddler.Safety
measures first.

IS THE FRONT CAMERA SPYING ON YOU?
NB/The image is used for illustration to readers and is no way affiliated to the content in the post
Recently i have noticed something suspicious with my smartphone.The camera app has been opening itself even when the phone is not in use.The other day,i was at the field and happened to check on the time from my phone.Then i suddenly found the camera preview on.Damn!I mean this is suspicious 'cause this is not the first time.One answer that crossed my mind was ,could someone be spying on me?And what strengthened my suspicions was the fact each time this happened the camera switched from the rear to front.How that happened i'm still trying to figure out.
Well,i went on a research spree on the internet and found out i was not the only one.Others android users have also been experiencing the same issue.Then this article happened.I was on my ritual research then came across this article by Patrick Howell O'Neill on dailydot.com .It stated ;
According to researcher Syzmon
Sidor, your smartphone camera can
spy on you without so much as a
notification to tip you off. The spy
app, which doesn’t even show up in
the phone’s list of installed
applications, can then send photos
over the Internet Is someone hijacking my android camera??The researcher then proceeded to ( READ MORE..)
How is the spy app installed without the owner noticing?Well this could happened over Wifi.In this case i'm referring to unsecured wifi which lets a third party see your communication with your laptop or smartphone.A malicious hacker can inject codes of the spy app into a 'clean' Google app from the play store.In the event you are downloading the app,you also download the injected spy app attached to the clean app.When its the turn to install,the codes of the spy app get' runned' and just like that the spy app is disguised in your phone. You can read on the Google play store flaw
This clearly exposes a flaw in the android camera.This is inexcusable .The fact that Android is tricked into
believing a legitimate preview is
running shocks me.This leaves me with the question of privacy breach.Come to think of it the camera spy app(invisible) can breach your privacy and go as far as recording your every activity and your videos might be uploaded to the youtube or used in blackmail plots by the hacker.
If someone can hack an android camera by installing a spy app without the owner identifying the app then its time to 'run'.I just hope Google will fix this flaw.

BANANA PEELS FOR YOUR SHOES??
Millions of people eat banana fruit every day.This is evident with the increased number of banana peels trashed.Did you know that banana peel you just trashed could really come in handy in times when you need some well toned skin and even serotonin increase?
Well,i guess its true.According to some post which i'll later post the link after the post,banana peel boasts of anti-aging oxidants and also rich of nutrients.Now on to today's topic,have you ever heard of people using banana peels to shine their shoes?Yes.So i decided to put it to the test.
•I rubbed the inner part of the peel on the surface of my black shoe
•(Aaargh!That's gross)Some particles of the peel stuck on my shoe.I buffed the shoe with a soft cloth till the expected end result happened.
NB:Banana peels are rich in potassium which is also present in Kiwi(product)
I Was like Whoa!Did it just happen.Wow!My shoes were shining looking brand new.So i stepped out ready to own the day.But to my utter surprise i noticed something along the way.
Oh no!Drosophilas were on my shoes.I guess it was the permanent banana smell that attracted the fruit flies.It was awkward.Luckily,i had not moved far from my house.I returned amidst surprise looks on the faces of the neighbours ,changed the shoes and i said i'll never use banana peels again.
They have the desired end result but the thought of Drosophilas (fruits flies) kills my vibe of trying out again.
