NCC aims to checkmate SIM Swap fraud

-
Image
 Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) on Friday said that the commission has put in place a regulation to checkmate SIM Swap fraud. Ms Helen Obi, Head of Zonal Operations, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Jos. A SIM is a smart card inside a mobile phone, carrying identification number unique to the owner. While SIM Swap is the process of replacing your existing SIM with a new SIM and moving your existing number, data etc. to a new SIM. She said that the new regulation put in place to stop SIM Swap fraud was in the interest of customers. According to her, SIM SWAP fraud has a lot of issues attached to it because often times, you find a lot of people who are not the owners of these numbers going to do SIM SWAP at various centres. “We have cases of fraudulent activities done on people’s bank account as a result of SIM SWAP and they complain to the commission expecting that the commission would compensate them. Some subscribers, who spoke with ...

Russia exhibits statue of AK-47 inventor Kalashnikov

Photo credits: AFP PHOTO / Maxim ZMEYEV Russian officials and Orthodox priests on Tuesday unveiled a statue in Moscow of inventor Mikhail Kalashnikov, whose iconic AK-47 assault rifle has claimed countless lives worldwide. A priest sprinkled holy water on the seven-metre tall statue of Kalashnikov gripping his deadly creation, which will now loom over motorists from a traffic island in one of the sprawling capital’s central thoroughfares. Culture minister Vladimir Medinsky praised the inventor and called the rifle — which has been reproduced an estimated 100 million times worldwide — a “cultural brand for Russia.” Kalashnikov had “the best traits of a Russian: an extraordinary natural gift, simplicity, integrity,” Medinsky said. Born in a Siberian village in 1919, Mikhail Kalashnikov died in December 2013 in Izhevsk, the capital of the Russian republic of Udmurtia, where he lived. Kalashnikov came up with the idea of inventing a new automatic rifle that could work in all conditi...

Nigerian Oshi Agabi unveils the computer that can smell

-
Image
TEDGLOBAL Photo credits: GETTY IMAGES  Nigerian Oshi Agabi has unveiled a computer based not on silicon but on mice neurons at the TEDGlobal conference in Tanzania. The system has been trained to recognize the smell of explosives and could be used to replace traditional airport security, he said. Eventually the modem-sized device - dubbed Koniku Kore - could provide the brain for future robots. Experts said that making such systems mass-market was challenging. All of the big tech firms, from Google to Microsoft, are rushing to create artificial intelligence modelled on the human brain. While computers are better than humans at complex mathematical equations, there are many cognitive functions where the brain is much better: training a computer to recognise smells would require colossal amounts of computational power and energy, for example. Mr Agabi is attempting to reverse-engineer biology, which already accomplishes this function with a fraction of the power it would tak...

Ghana connects to Nigeria’s Internet Exchange point

-
Image
Ghana Internet Exchange Point has connected to Nigerian’s Internet Exchange Point (IXPN) to route traffic locally within the region.While this process is on a vice-versa and partnership basis, The Guardian learnt that the move is expected to enhance the chances of Nigeria becoming the regional hub for Internet content in the region and the continent; it will also serve as an opportunity for both countries to reduce cost and improve latency on the route.   Further analysis showed that the Internet traffic destined for the two countries will now remain local, meaning that instead of the traffic coming from Ghana to Nigeria, which first goes to Europe or the Americas before returning to Africa, will come straight to the region.This way, there will be some cost saving, improvement service delivery, and making services safer.     Besides, should Nigeria become the Internet hub for Africa, it will help the country to create contents, especially local that can serve the...

Volvo and Uber struck a deal for 24,000 self-drive cars

Image
Photo credits: Getty Images Uber has struck a deal to buy up to 24,000 self-driving cars from Volvo. The agreement anticipates that the pick-up service will  purchase the vehicles over the course of three years beginning in 2019. Uber  began testing prototypes made by the carmaker last year in the US. One expert said the announcement "makes a good headline" but had doubts that fully autonomous, driverless Uber rides would be ready to begin until some years later. Uber and Volvo have not disclosed financial terms, but have confirmed that the deal is "non-exclusive" - meaning both are free to form similar partnerships with others. Chinese company Geely bought Volvo from Ford in 2010. Assuming Uber buys all 24,000 XC90 sports utility vehicles (SUVs) outlined in the agreement, the deal could be worth $1.4bn (£1.1bn), according to an estimate by the Financial Times. However, under their pre-existing agreement, Uber already uses various customised Volvo vehicles - ...

Sweden is now a single 'home rental' on Airbnb

-
Image
Sweden has gone and listed the entire country on the short-term vacation rental site Airbnb, in a PR stunt that aims to highlight its natural heritage. The marketing campaign is based on the notion of allemansratten  – or the freedom to roam – a principle protected by Swedish law that gives all people the right to roam free in Swedish nature. Photo credit: idesignarch Under the law, only private gardens and lands under cultivation are off-limits to walking, cycling or camping. In a clever play on allemansratten, the country’s official tourism office is using Airbnb as a platform to promote their mountaintops, lakes, meadows, forests and lakes by listing bucolic spots on the site. The whole country is pitched as one big home rental, with 100,000 “infinity pools”, lakeside “relaxation areas”, clifftop terraces with panoramic floor-to-ceiling views and bathrooms au naturel, designed after “minimalist Swedish style”. And unlike vacation rentals, there’s...
