South Korean telco deliberately infected thousands of users with malware

One of the largest telecommunications providers in South Korea allegedly targeted hundreds of thousands of its own customers with malware in a bid to stop them using torrenting sites.

Local media outlets claim Korea Telecom (KT) used illegal methods to try and curb the use of peer-to-peer (P2P) downloading software.

Apparently, KT set up an entire division dedicated to developing, maintaining, and distributing the malware. The entire operation started in May 2020 and, at one point, affected roughly 600,000 people.

Police involved
The victims were the users of the Grid Program, which suddenly started creating strange folders, or outright hiding downloaded files - and in some cases, the infected PCs just stopped working altogether.
A Grid Program representative told the media that only the people using KT’s internet lines were affected, TechNadu said.

Since the malware seemingly came from KT’s data center, the Bundang IDC center, the police were soon involved. Apparently, the Gyeonggi Southern District Office suspects KT violated the Communications Secrets Protection Act (CSPA) and the Information and Communications Network Act (ICNA). In the meantime, the KT CEO stepped down as well.

2 Spanish referees dismissed from Euro 2024

UEFA has dismissed two Spanish referees, Alejandro Hernández Hernández and Jesús Gil Manzano, from officiating at Euro 2024 after receiving complaints about their performance.

Hernández, who served as the VAR official, faced criticism for dismissing Scotland’s penalty claim in their 1-0 loss to Hungary last Sunday. Manzano was under fire for his error during France’s 1-0 victory over Austria.

Alongside the two referees, their assistants, Diego Barbero Sevilla and Ángel Nevado Rodríguez, have also been sent home.

This decision leaves Martínez Munuera, a VAR official, as the only Spanish representative for the remainder of the tournament.

Former La Liga referee Iturralde Gonzalez has called on the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) to improve relations with UEFA following the dismissal of four out of five Spanish officials after the group stage.

“There is an urgent need for a Spanish representative on the refereeing committee,” Gonzalez told Spanish radio network Cadena SER.

In related news, Argentine referee Facundo Tello, who dismissed Scotland’s penalty protests against Hungary, has been named the fourth official for Italy’s last-16 tie against Switzerland on Saturday, despite earlier reports suggesting he had been dropped by UEFA.

Scotland manager Steve Clarke was visibly frustrated after his team was denied a penalty when Stuart Armstrong was brought down inside the box by Willi Orban.
Tello dismissed the claim, and lead VAR Hernández did not advise a review.

Clarke commented, “In a European competition it might have been better to have a European referee. But we had European VAR. Maybe the referee didn’t see the challenge clearly on the pitch, but what’s the purpose of VAR if they’re not going to come in on something like that? It’s a penalty. It’s 100 percent a penalty.”

Austria also expressed their displeasure with Manzano’s officiating in their 1-0 defeat to France, after they were not awarded a corner shortly before Max Wöber’s own goal secured the win for Didier Deschamps’ side.

A Democratic plea: ‘Will they do something?’

One House Democrat said he spoke for others in the wake of the president’s stunningly feeble debate performance on Thursday: “The movement to convince Biden to not run is real.”

The House member, an outspoken defender of the president, said that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer should consider “a combined effort” to nudge Biden out of the race.

Crestfallen by the president’s weak voice, pallid appearance and meandering answers, numerous Democratic officials said Biden’s bet on an early debate to rebut unceasing questions about his age had not only backfired but done damage that may prove irreversible. The president had, in the first 30 minutes of the debate, fully affirmed doubts about his fitness.

A second House Democrat said “reflection is needed” from Biden about the way ahead and indicated the private text threads among lawmakers were even more dire, with some saying outright that the president needed to drop out of the race.
A Democratic lobbyist close to many party leaders also invoked Jeffries and Schumer — “Will they do something?” — before noting, hopefully, that Jeffries and former President Barack Obama are holding a fundraiser for House Democrats in New York on Friday.

Many top party officials, however, believe Biden can’t be persuaded let alone pressured. One Democratic governor called the debate “beyond bad,” but said it was “too late” to nominate a new standard bearer.

For those close to Biden, his appearance was the realization of their worst fears. His top strategists sought to make the best of it — citing focus groups and snap polls that showed voters also detested former President Donald Trump — but made no attempt to hide their disappointment. Nobody in Biden’s orbit wants to be the one to approach him about whether to stay in the race, but as one adviser told me: “it’s got to be a conversation and he will hate it.”

Fire Razes Abuja Market

Karu Market in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), was on Thursday gutted by fire, leaving a trail of destruction and loss.

The incident started around 8 pm

Abiola Adebayo, the Acting Director of FCT Fire Service, said firefighters were deployed to the scene.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation, and officials are working to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the outbreak

In a telephone conversation with Daily Trust on Friday morning, a resident, Yusuf Mustapha, said goods and properties worth millions of naira were reduced to ashes.

“It’s true; there was a serious fire outbreak at the market. It started around 8pm last night and lasted for some hours. A lot of destruction has been caused for sure. It’s really terrible. I have friends that do business in the market,” Mustapha said.

Meanwhile, the FCT police command’s spokesperson Josephine Adeh, in a statement, said policemen from three divisional headquarters were deployed to the scene.

“In response to the fire outbreak at popular Karu market in Abuja, at about 8pm, the Commissioner of Police FCT, CP Benneth C. Igweh, swiftly mobilized police patrol teams from Karu, Nyanya, and Jikwoyi police divisions alongside operatives of the Federal Fire Service to the scene to extinguish the fire, forestall any intended attempt to loot the shops therein and to protect other valuables from being engulfed. Further development will be communicated in due course,” the statement said.

Traders Blame High Cost Of Food Items On Insecurity

Traders in the Onitsha commercial center of Anambra State have blamed the high cost of food items in the country on the insecurity bedeviling the nation.

They made the revelation through their leaders when officials of the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) visited the Ose Okwudo foodstuffs market in Onitsha North local government council to find out reasons for the galloping increase in the cost of food items.

The Chairman of Ose Okwudo, Chief Ikechukwu Umuanozie, represented by the Market Secretary, Onyejikwe Cyprian, stated that if the issue of insecurity and cost of transportation are tackled, the prices of food would be reduced.

Attributing it to insecurity, the market leader said that farmers now fear going to their farms to cultivate crops, adding that even when they take the risk to go, they are either abducted when moving crops to urban places to sell, or when coming back.

He said: “These days, traders now go to rural places because farmers who manage to harvest crops, fear to transport them by road because of kidnapping.

“Now it is the traders that are suffering because we go to them. Most consumables in Nigeria come down here to this market which serves as a distribution point.

“We receive supplies from all over the country, three times every week. Yams from Benue, grains from Niger, Adamawa, and other states, potatoes from diverse places, fish from parts of Anambra here, but today, how many times do supplies come?

“Sometimes, farmers call traders on the phone and tell them that there may not be supplies shortly – that bandits were terrorizing them. In that way, the trader who knows he will not get stock for some time will hike the price of the available ones.

“If the government can do something about insecurity, I am sure farmers will return to their farms and traders will not be afraid to transport their goods back for sale.”

He told the South East zonal coordinator of FCCPC, Jude Akonam, that besides insecurity, climate change and cost of transportation were other factors.

Earlier, Akonam said the reason for the visit was to hear from traders and customers how the rise in prices affects them, to relay the message to the appropriate quarters for action.

According to him, after the findings, the commission would advise the government appropriately on how to check the menace of the increase in foodstuff.

Biden claims an early debate win.

27/06/2024

Chinese leadership, including President Xi Jinping, views science and technology as key to surpassing the US in global influence. As you'll see, the country is beginning to outpace its Western peers in many strategic sectors.

China overtook the US as the world leader in both scientific research output and “high impact” studies, according to a 2022 report published by Japan’s science and technology ministry. The study found that Chinese research comprised 27.2% of the world’s top 1% of most frequently cited papers and 23.4% of the world’s research output.

In a striking example of Chinese progress, in 2019 China became the first and only country to land on the far side of the moon. In 2024, it successfully collected material from the dark lunar surface, planted a Chinese flag there, and brought it back to Earth to study.

Yahaya Bello Seeks Transfer Of Case From Abuja To Kogi

The EFCC is seeking to arraign Bello on 19 counts of alleged money laundering, and misappropriation of funds to N80.2 billion.

The immediate past governor of Kogi state, Yahaya Bello, has asked the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court Abuja, Justice John Tsoho, to transfer his trial in alleged money laundering to Lokoja.

Bello said he preferred to be arraigned in Lokoja, where the alleged money laundering offense was committed.

At a resumed hearing on Thursday, Bello represented by his counsel, Adeola Adedipe (SAN), informed Justice Emeka Nwite that a letter requesting for the transfer of the trial had already been delivered to the Chief Judge for his administrative decision.

Specifically, Adedipe said the request for Lokoja was because the Federal High Court has territorial jurisdiction to hear the matter in Lokoja, the Kogi State capital.

Adedipe said that the legal team of the former Kogi governor was still awaiting the response of the Chief Judge on the request for transfer of the case to Lokoja.

He said the prosecution had been notified and their opinion had been sought via a letter dated 14th June 2024 from the Chief Judge’s office.

The letter, addressed to Counsel for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Rotimi Oyedepo (SAN), was signed by the Special Assistant to the Chief Judge, Joshua Ibrahim Aji, Esq.

However, the transfer request was vehemently opposed by the EFCC lead counsel, Dr Kemi Pinheiro who described the request as an attempt to frustrate the trial.

The EFCC lawyer asked Justice Emeka Nwite to hold Adeola Adedipe (SAN) and Abdulwahab Mohammed (SAN), responsible for their inability to produce their client in court, despite the undertakings they made.

The EFCC lawyer also requested that the two senior advocates be cited for contempt of court.

Meanwhile, the court has fixed July 17, for arraignment of the former governor and ruling on the request of EFCC to cite the senior lawyers for contempt.

The EFCC is seeking to arraign Bello on 19 counts bordering on alleged money laundering, breach of trust, and misappropriation of funds to the tune of N80.2 billion.

China expels ousted defense chiefs in corruption crackdown
China expelled two former defense ministers from the ruling Communist Party over alleged corruption Thursday, the latest sign of a secretive crackdown sweeping the country’s elite.

The moves against Li Shangfu and his predecessor Wei Fenghe follow a series of shake-ups at the top of the world's largest military — Li was ousted from the role last year after disappearing without explanation. The apparent purge comes as Beijing clashes with the United States over the fate of Taiwan, and as the increasingly powerful President Xi Jinping consolidates his leadership.

The two former defense ministers, Li and Wei, were expelled by the party’s leadership for “serious violation of party discipline and the law,” Chinese state news agencies announced early Thursday.
Both men were deprived of their qualifications as delegates to the 20th CPC National Congress, state media said, citing a meeting of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee.

The agency said the party’s disciplinary and supervisory agency launched an investigation into Li in August of last year that found he had “seriously violated political and organizational discipline.”

“He sought improper benefits in personnel arrangements for himself and others, took advantage of his posts to seek benefits for others, and accepted a huge amount of money and valuables in return. He is suspected of the crime of taking bribes,” it said.

Li, who became defense secretary last March as Xi began an unprecedented third term in office, disappeared from public view for months at the end of August.

*Soun queries the Chief Imam for undertaking Hajj without the traditional ruler’s consent

In a surprising development, the Soun of Ogbomoso, Oba Afolabi Ghandi Olaoye, has reprimanded the Chief Imam of Ogbomoso, Shiek Taliat Yunus Olusina Ayilara, for failing to seek the traditional ruler’s permission before embarking on Hajj pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia.

Recalls that the traditional has been at loggerheads with the chief Iman for the past few months.
The Chief Imam was among the pilgrims from Nigeria who performed the 1445 Hajj exercise in Saudi Arabia.

Soun, in the query, claimed that the Chief Imam did not inform him before he embarked on the journey.

The traditional ruler in the letter dated 10th June 2024, said that what the Chief Imam did was in contrast with the undertaking he signed before he became the Chief Imam.

The query, made available to newsmen yesterday, was signed by the palace Secretary, Toyin Ajamu, on behalf of the traditional ruler.

The letter reads: “I refer to the earlier query issued to you with regards to your unbecoming and reprehensible conducts as Chief Imam Agba of Ogbomosoland and the need to desist from such conducts.”

“You will recall that on your appointment as Chief Imam Agba of Ogbomosoland, you signed an undertaking and agreement which you agreed will be binding on you.”

“In the said undertaking, you unequivocally undertook to inform the Soun of Ogbomoso before traveling outside Ogbomoso.”

“However, we have been informed that you are currently in Mecca on a Holy pilgrimage without notifying the Soun. This is a clear violation of your undertaking.”

Chinese Premier Li Qiang warned of negative consequences for the world if nations part ways economically, while also countering criticism that his country’s industrial policy has led to overcapacity.

The “regressive actions of decoupling” would only “drag the world into a destructive spiral where the fierce competition for a larger slice ends up in a diminishing pie,” Li said at the World Economic Forum’s meeting Tuesday in the northeastern city of Dalian. “This is something we do not want to see.”

Li also defended his nation against claims it is dumping cheap goods on the world, touting its prowess in science and technology for building “a broad stage for enterprises to pursue innovation and upgrade their products.”
“Exploration should not be seen as zero-sum game,” he added.

The remarks followed Canada’s move to clamp down on imports of Chinese-made electric vehicles, aligning itself with the Biden administration on trade. The European Union also plans to increase tariffs on EVs.

Can the US and China ‘Decouple’? What Would It Mean?: QuickTake

China has suggested there may be benefits for Germany if the EU backs off on its plan, floating lowering its existing tariffs on large-engine cars in return for scrapping the planned EV levies, according to people familiar with the discussions.

Li’s comments come a day after Chinese leader Xi Jinping called on China to step up innovation because other countries dominate certain key technologies, remarks that underscore his nation’s escalating confrontation with the US over semiconductors.

Speaking at a national science conference, Xi pointed to “bottlenecks and constraints in areas such as integrated circuits, industrial machine tools, basic software, advanced materials” and more.

North Korea fires ballistic missile in a show of force after Putin’s visit

North Korea fired a ballistic missile that failed soon into flight, in an attempted show of force about a week after it struck a military mutual-defence pact with Russia that alarmed the US and its allies.

The missile was launched at about 5.30 am Wednesday from an area near Pyongyang, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a message sent to reporters. An analysis was being done by South Korean and US intelligence authorities to find out more details, it said.

The missile flew about 250 kilometres and exploded midair east of the North Korean coastal city on Wonsan, spreading debris over several kilometres, Yonhap reported a JCS official it did not identify as telling local reporters. The missile was likely carrying a hypersonic glide vehicle, a warhead designed to manoeuvre at high speeds to avoid interception, the official was cited as saying.

This is the first ballistic missile launch since Kim Jong Un’s regime fired off a simultaneous barrage of short-range ballistic missiles in late May.

North Korea has largely avoided missile failures over the past few years as Kim has rolled out a new array of rockets capable of carrying nuclear warheads and designed to strike the US mainland as well as America’s allies Japan and South Korea. It has suffered setbacks with its rockets for deploying satellites, with its latest attempt in late May ending in failure when the rocket broke apart in a fireball soon after its launch.

Before the latest missile test, North Korea assailed the US for sending the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier group to the Korean Peninsula for joint training drills that included Japan and South Korea. It threatened retaliation.

“The DPRK bitterly condemns the provocative attempts of the US and the ROK, the heinous confrontation maniacs with the most powerful rhetoric and with all possibilities of demonstrating its overwhelming and new deterrent force,” the official Korean Central News Agency on Monday quoted Vice Defence Minister Kim Kang Il as saying. He used abbreviations to refer to North Korea and South Korea by their formal names.

OpenAI Taking Steps to Block China’s Access to Its AI Tools

OpenAI is taking additional steps to curb China’s access to artificial intelligence software, enforcing an existing policy to block users in nations outside of the territory it supports.

The Microsoft Corp.-backed startup sent memos to developers in China about plans to begin blocking their access to its tools and software from July, according to screenshots posted on social media that outlets including the Securities Times reported on Tuesday. In China, local players including Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Tencent Holdings Ltd.-backed Zhipu AI posted notices encouraging developers to switch to their own products.

“We are taking additional steps to block API traffic from regions where we do not support access to OpenAI’s services,” an OpenAI spokeswoman said in a statement Tuesday.
OpenAI supports access to its services in dozens of countries. Those accessing its products in countries not included on the list, such as China, may have their accounts blocked or suspended, according to the company’s guidelines.

It’s unclear what prompted the move by OpenAI. In May, Sam Altman’s startup revealed it had cut off at least five covert influence operations in past months, saying they were using its products to manipulate public opinion.

🚨🇺🇸BREAKING: U.S. URGENTLY SEEKING WAY TO AVERT ISRAEL-LEBANON WAR

U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin:

"Hezbollah's provocations threaten to drag the Israeli and Lebanese people into a war that they do not want.

Such a war would be a catastrophe for Lebanon, and it would be devastating for innocent Israeli and Lebanese civilians.

Diplomacy is by far the best way to prevent more escalation.

So we're urgently seeking a diplomatic agreement that restores lasting calm to Israel's northern border and enables civilians to return safely to their homes on both sides of the Israel-Lebanon border."

Amazon is working on an AI-powered assistant to compete with the incumbent in the space.

Before you get any further, you haven't traveled back in time. It's not 2014, and I'm not referring to Amazon's Alexa competing with Siri.

This time, Amazon has its eyes on OpenAI's ChatGPT with a project codenamed "Metis." Business Insider's Eugene Kim has all the details on the new AI assistant based on an internal document he obtained and conversations with people familiar with the project.

The plan is for Metis to offer tech- and image-based answers conversationally and share links to how it sources answers.

In short, it sounds a lot like the AI chatbots you're already familiar with. And that's part of the potential problem.

Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI have all had their AI assistants available for a while. And they're already making big moves.

AI agents (tools that can automate and perform complex tasks based on existing data) were a heavy focus of Google's annual developer conference. Microsoft's Copilot AI assistant tool is a part of the tech giant's strategy to start seeing a return on its AI bets. And ChatGPT was tapped by Apple as a key piece of Apple Intelligence, its version of AI.

Russia Calls for Urgent Security Talks with U.S.

25/06/2024

Sign up for CNN’s Meanwhile in China newsletter which explores what you need to know about the country’s rise and how it impacts the world.

Chinese Premier Li Qiang has warned against a “vicious cycle” of economic decoupling from the West, as Beijing struggles to contain rising global pushback over soaring electric vehicle (EV) exports.
Speaking to international executives at the “Summer Davos” forum in the northeastern city of Dalian on Tuesday, Li also defended his country against accusations that Chinese overcapacity in key green industries has led to dumping of products such as EVs and solar panels on global markets.

“If countries only consider maximizing their own interests, if we ignore the interests of others, and even go back in history and engage in decoupling … it will only raise the economic operating costs of the entire society and the world,” he said.
This will “drag countries … into a vicious cycle of scrambling for a cake that becomes smaller and smaller,” Li added. “This is something that we don’t want to see.”

The remarks by China’s second most powerful leader after Xi Jinping come a day after Canada became the latest Western country to consider imposing tariffs on EVs made in China. The Canadian government said on Monday that its workers faced “unfair competition” from Beijing’s “state-directed policy of overcapacity.” It will begin a 30-day public consultation period next month to assess possible responses.

Last month, the Biden administration quadrupled tariffs on EV imports from China, from 25% to 100%, aiming to protect American jobs and manufacturing. Chinese EV sales to the United States are tiny.

However, the challenges facing China’s EV makers grew when a much larger market followed suit weeks later. The European Union (EU), the biggest overseas buyer of Chinese EVs, announced additional provisional tariffs earlier this month because of what it called Beijing’s unfair support for companies that undercut European carmakers.

The two sides have agreed to start talks to negotiate on a possible compromise before the duties come into full effect in November, according to Reuters.

Diddy Drops $60M Sean Jean Lawsuit Amid Assault Investigation

2024 has certainly been a year that Bad Boy Founder Sean “Diddy” Combs wants to forget.

In March, the FBI and U.S. Homeland Security raided his home. Combs is a person of interest in an ongoing s*x trafficking investigation. Since the raid of his home, several others have come forward detailing Diddy’s past abusive behavior.

Amid the backlash, Combs has dropped his $60 million lawsuit against his former clothing company, Sean John.

Diddy Drops Suit Against Sean John
“According to an exclusive report by AllHipHop, the mogul has dropped his $60 million lawsuit against the fashion brand he founded, Sean John,” the report reads.

“He filed various lawsuits against GBG. He accused them of using his likeness to promote their products without permission. The fashion house later filed for bankruptcy, and Diddy secured a winning bid to buy back the struggling Sean John brand for $7.5 million.”
“The lawsuit’s dismissal will allow the Bad Boy Records founder to pursue legal action against GBG in the future if he chooses.”

Nick Cannon Gets Candid on Combs
Combs came under fire last month. CNN released a shocking video of Combs assaulting his ex-girlfriend and label artist, Cassie Ventura. Despite the heinous nature of the video in which Combs repeatedly strikes and drags Cassie, reality star Nick Cannon believes he deserves grace.

🚨🇱🇧MEDIA TOUR OF BEIRUT AIRPORT STOPPED, RAISING FEARS HEZBOLLAH MAY BE USING THE FACILITY TO STORE WEAPONS

In an attempt to discredit reports that Hezbollah is using parts of Rafic Hariri International Airport to store missiles and explosives, Lebanon’s Transport Minister conducted a tour of the facility with several diplomats and media agencies.

The tour was abruptly stopped when airport security refused to allow them to enter the air cargo center.

The Telegraph reported several whistleblowers had claimed large crates were arriving from Iran and Hezbollah’s second in command, Wafiq Safa, was “constantly” at the airport.

“This is extremely serious, mysterious large boxes arriving on direct flights from Iran are a sign that things got worse.

When they started to come through the airport, my friends and I were scared because we knew that there was something strange going on.”
