    A greenhouse with tropical and subtropical plants with an area of about 330 square meters will open at VDNKh, which will be part of the first biocluster in Russia. Tours, master classes, lectures and other events will be held there. This was reported by Natalia Sergunina, Deputy Mayor of Moscow.

    The new space will be arranged in the southern part of the park at the intersection of Khovanskaya Street and the ring road. Pavilions No. 516 “Books” of the museum and exhibition center “Rosiso” and No. 312 are located nearby.

    “The greenhouse will combine exhibition and scientific and educational functions. Dozens of plant species, including unique ones, will be planted under the glass dome,” noted Natalia Sergunina.

    The greenhouse is planned to open in 2026. Specialists will create a climate zone in which the temperature, humidity and other parameters will be independently regulated. A laboratory will be equipped separately for classes on studying plants and their cultivation. An open-air lecture hall will appear next door. Birch trees, bird cherry, rowan, spruce, pine, willow and juniper will be planted around.

    Now, on the territory of VDNKh, you can visit another greenhouse – it has been operating since 1959 in pavilion No. 14 “Computer Engineering and Information Science” (former “Azerbaijan SSR”). There, guests will see olives, pomegranates, persimmons and other crops.

    Recently opened at VDNKh biocluster — a project of the State Biological Museum named after K.A. Timiryazev. Its first point is pavilion No. 29 “Floriculture and landscaping”. By the summer of 2026, four more thematic areas will appear there.

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    At the urban project seminar “Call me back yourself” will tell about new types of fraud. These may be messages about supposedly profitable investments of savings in company shares under the guidance of an experienced investor, about capitalization at high interest rates, about participation in non-existent innovative projects, as well as fake investments in startups and other financial schemes for deceiving residents.

    “Investments and savings deposits with interest are an opportunity to receive passive income and accumulate funds. However, it is important to remember that no financial institution will work at a loss to itself and offer interest rates higher than the market average or guaranteed profitability conditions for a project that is just starting up. Fraudsters use various tricks and techniques to convince residents to transfer money to accounts: they create websites with advantageous offers similar to well-known companies, offer deposits on extremely favorable terms, and promise a several-fold increase in profits. At the new seminar of the “Call Me Back” project, experts will tell you what to pay attention to when receiving advantageous financial offers so as not to fall for the tricks of intruders, and will also remind you of the importance of cyber hygiene,” said Valentina Shilina, head of the “Call Me Back” project of the capital’s Department of Information Technology.

    The event will take place on July 17 at 11:00. It can be visited in person or join the broadcast on a social network “VKontakte”.

    Representatives of the capital’s Department of Information Technology, Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the city of Moscow, experts from the Financial Literacy Center of the city of Moscow and the National Association of Bond Market Participants.

    Using real-life examples, they will explain popular techniques of fraudsters in the field of financial pyramids and investments, share tips on how to protect your savings and funds, and answer questions from participants.

    For example, scammers deceive city dwellers using duplicate websites, job interviews in companies where they promise high income after purchasing products, investing in startups and even multiplayer games. They use similar techniques for different audiences: an offer, convincing of reliability through false guarantees and fake documents, pressure on emotions and pushing to make a quick decision, pressure with authority or persuasion.

    Following the seminar, the project website will be updated in the section “Webinar Archive” A recording and useful materials based on expert recommendations will be available.

    The online information project “Call Back Yourself” was created in 2022 by the Moscow Government together with the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the city of Moscow. It helps city residents protect themselves and their loved ones from telephone and online fraud. The project’s website contains information about upcoming in-person and online events, as well as memos and recommendations from experts, recordings of past webinars and other useful materials.

    In 2023, the Call Me Back project won the Golden Site award in the Best Social Project Website category. It was also awarded the Runet Prize in the Information Security category.

    The creation and support of information security tools, as well as counteracting cyber fraud, corresponds to the objectives of the national project “Data Economy and Digital Transformation of the State”.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: HSE researchers teach neural networks to distinguish origins from genetically close populations

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: State University “Higher School of Economics” –

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    INInstitute of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Sciences FKN HSE University has proposed a new approach based on modern machine learning methods to determine a person’s genetic origin. Graph neural networks make it possible to distinguish even very close populations with high accuracy.

    Genetic analysis is a service that has become popular in the last 10-15 years not only as a medical diagnostic tool, but also as an opportunity to learn more about one’s origins. DNA analysis allows one to assess ethnic composition, determine where ancestors lived and moved, and find the number of Neanderthal mutations in the genome.

    This has become possible thanks to the development of modern technologies – genotyping, data storage and processing systems, machine learning – and a significant reduction in their cost. But at the same time, existing testing methods do not allow us to separate genetically close, related populations that have lived in adjacent territories for a long time.

    Researchers at the HSE Institute of AI and Digital Sciences have developed a method that allows one to distinguish the origins of people from closely related populations. The technology is based on graph neural networks. The algorithm relies not on the DNA sequence itself, but on graphs that indicate genetic connections between people with common sections of the genome. Such sections reflect the degree of kinship between people and indicate how many generations ago they had common ancestors. The more matches, the closer the people are in origin. The vertices in the model correspond to a person, and the edges reflect the degree of kinship.

    The method was tested on data from different regions. The results for the population of the East European Plain, for which a large database has already been collected, were especially interesting. The graph neural network was able to accurately determine the population affiliation of representatives of genetically very close peoples.

    “Existing methods of genetic analysis solve a different problem: they determine belonging to large isolated populations, for example, they determine who had French, who had Germans, who had English in their ancestry. Our method allows us to work with closely related populations, which is especially relevant for Russia, a historically multinational country,” says Alexey Shmelev, one of the authors of the work, a research intern.International Laboratory of Statistical and Computational GenomicsInstitute of AI and Digital Sciences, Faculty of Computer Science, National Research University Higher School of Economics.

    In the future, the researchers plan to teach the neural network to predict the percentage of different populations in the genome.

    The researchers registered theirdevelopmentcalled AncestryGNN — “Neural Network Prediction of Population Belonging from Common Genome Segments.”

    As Vladimir Shchur, head of the International Laboratory of Statistical and Computational Genomics at the Institute of AI and Digital Sciences of the Faculty of Computer Science at the National Research University Higher School of Economics, noted, the proposed method opens up new prospects for more accurately determining the population history of people and can be used in genealogical research and anthropology.

  • MIL-OSI United Nations: 15 July 2025 Turkmenistan strengthens its influenza vaccination programme

    Source: World Health Organisation

    Building pandemic response capacities through seasonal vaccination 

    Strong national influenza vaccination programmes are the foundation for the vaccination component of the pandemic response. With support from the World Health Organization (WHO) Pandemic Influenza Preparedness (PIP) Framework’s Partnership Contribution (PC), Turkmenistan is enhancing its national seasonal influenza vaccination programme and through this, is strengthening its preparedness for future pandemics. This collaboration is part of a broader effort to build resilient health systems capable of responding to influenza epidemics and pandemics. 

    Over the past eight years, the Ministry of Health has expanded access to influenza vaccines for WHO-recommended priority groups, including health workers, older adults, people with chronic conditions, and pregnant women. The annual influenza vaccination programme not only protects vulnerable populations but also serves as a foundation for pandemic response.

    Reviewing the influenza vaccination programme  

    In May 2025, Turkmenistan became the first country in the WHO European Region to use the Facilitated Assessment of Influenza Vaccination Programme Review (FAIR) tool. During the review and an interactive workshop, WHO technical experts collaborated with the Ministry of Health to evaluate best practices and identify priority actions to strengthen the national vaccination programme. 

    Using the FAIR tool, WHO experts conducted informational interviews with national stakeholders responsible for policy development, evidence generation, cold chain and supply management, risk communication, community engagement, integrated service delivery, and data management. In addition, WHO experts and national counterparts visited Turkmenistan’s main vaccine storage facilities and a local polyclinic administering influenza vaccines.

    From assessment to action 

    During the workshop, WHO experts presented FAIR findings and facilitated group discussions with national focal points. Together, they developed a list of priority actions, including:

    • Developing a national seasonal influenza vaccination policy aligned with WHO guidance 
    • Reviewing and updating coverage data 
    • Conducting studies to assess the impact of influenza vaccination

    The workshop also emphasized the role of seasonal influenza vaccination as a platform for broader pandemic preparedness. In this context, WHO and national focal points conducted a simulation exercise focused on planning and deploying pandemic vaccines, drawing on lessons from the COVID-19 response. Participants from emergency vaccination, logistics, regulatory affairs, and communications identified areas for improvement in the national deployment and vaccination plan (NDVP). 

    Commitment to resilience 

    Turkmenistan is committed to advancing its national influenza preparedness and strengthening its health system’s resilience. By addressing both seasonal and pandemic influenza, the country is taking important steps to protect its population and enhance its capacity to respond to emergencies.

  • MIL-OSI: ESET Research uncovers variants of AsyncRAT, popular choice of cybercriminals

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    • ESET Research has released insights into the landscape of AsyncRAT, a remote access tool (RAT), and its numerous variants.
    • The analysis uncovers their unique interconnections, and documents how these variants can be distinguished.
    • The widespread availability of frameworks such as AsyncRAT significantly lowers the barrier of entry for aspiring cybercriminals.

    PRAGUE and BRATISLAVA, Slovakia, July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ESET Research is releasing its analysis of AsyncRAT — a remote access tool (RAT) designed to remotely monitor and control other devices. Over the years, AsyncRAT has cemented its place as a cornerstone of modern malware and as a pervasive threat that has evolved into a sprawling network of its variants and forks (customized and improved versions of the original tool). The published analysis provides an overview of the most relevant forks of AsyncRAT, drawing connections between them and showing how they have evolved.

    AsyncRAT, an open-source RAT, was released on GitHub in 2019 by a user going by the name of NYAN CAT. It offers a wide range of typical RAT functionalities, including keylogging, screen capturing, credential theft, and more. Its simplicity and open-source nature have made it a popular choice among cybercriminals, leading to its widespread use in various cyberattacks.

    “AsyncRAT introduced significant improvements, particularly in its modular architecture and enhanced stealth features, making it more adaptable and harder to detect in modern threat environments. Its plug-in-based architecture and ease of modification have sparked the proliferation of many forks, pushing the boundaries even further,” says ESET researcher Nikola Knežević, author of the study.

    Ever since it was released to the public, AsyncRAT has spawned a multitude of new forks that have built upon its foundation. Some of these new versions have expanded on the original framework, incorporating additional features and enhancements, while others are essentially the same version in different clothes. The most popular variants for the attackers, according to ESET telemetry, are DcRat, VenomRAT, and SilverRAT.

    DcRat offers a notable improvement over AsyncRAT in terms of features and capabilities, while VenomRAT is packed with further additional features. However, not all RATs are serious in nature, and this applies equally to AsyncRAT forks. Clones like SantaRAT or BoratRAT are meant to be jokes. Despite this, ESET has found instances of real-world malicious usage of these in the wild.

    In its analysis, ESET Research has cherry-picked some lesser-known forks, too, as they enhance AsyncRAT’s functionality beyond the features included in the default versions. These exotic forks are often the work of one person or group, and they make up less than 1% of the volume of AsyncRAT samples.

    “The widespread availability of frameworks such as AsyncRAT significantly lowers the barrier to entry for aspiring cybercriminals, enabling even novices to deploy sophisticated malware with minimal effort. This development further accelerates the creation and customization of malicious tools. This evolution underscores the importance of proactive detection strategies and deeper behavioral analyses to effectively address emerging threats,” concludes Knežević.

    For a more detailed analysis and technical breakdown of various AsyncRAT variants and forks, check out the latest ESET Research blogpost, “Unmasking AsyncRAT: Navigating the labyrinth of forks,” on WeLiveSecurity.com.

    Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and AIIMS Bibinagar on Monday jointly unveiled India’s first indigenously designed and developed cost-effective advanced carbon fibre foot prosthesis.

    The prosthetic device, named AIIMS Bibinagar – DRDL, DRDO Indigenously Developed Optimised Carbon Foot Prosthesis (ADIDOC), was officially launched at a ceremony held at AIIMS Bibinagar. The unveiling was led by Dr. GA Srinivasa Murthy, Scientist and Director of DRDO’s Defence Research & Development Laboratory (DRDL), along with Dr. Ahanthem Santa Singh, Executive Director of AIIMS Bibinagar.

    Developed under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative, ADIDOC represents a major technological and humanitarian breakthrough. The prosthesis has been biomechanically tested to endure loads of up to 125 kg, with a strong factor of safety. It comes in three variants tailored for patients of different body weights, making it versatile and inclusive.

    What makes ADIDOC particularly significant is its cost-efficiency. While similar international carbon fibre foot prosthetics currently cost around ₹2 lakh, the production cost of ADIDOC is projected to be under ₹20,000. This dramatic reduction in cost is expected to revolutionize access to high-performance prosthetics for low-income amputees across India.

    “The development of ADIDOC is not just a technological achievement but also a meaningful step toward greater social inclusion for people with disabilities,” said Dr. Srinivasa Murthy at the launch. “It will reduce India’s dependency on expensive imported prosthetics and make high-quality mobility solutions more accessible.”

  • MIL-OSI China: Nvidia CEO lauds China’s AI development

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    Jensen Huang, CEO of U.S. tech giant Nvidia, on Tuesday praised China’s rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) during his visit to Beijing, describing the Chinese market as both “large” and “dynamic.”

    “AI is moving very fast in China,” Huang said in an interview here, highlighting the thriving AI ecosystem in China and pointing to the abundance of startups and major cloud service providers.

    Huang emphasized China’s strong talent pool, noting that China is home to 50 percent of the world’s AI researchers.

    “AI is being applied to everything from consumer applications, internet shopping, grocery delivery to self-driving cars and all these incredible applications” in China, Huang said.

    He said he is “very happy” to see the development of AI in the country, attributing it to the country’s robust education in science and mathematics.

    Nvidia’s H20 chips will soon be available in the Chinese market again as the U.S. government has approved for the company filing licenses to start shipping H20s to China, Huang said.

    “I’m looking forward to shipping H20s very soon. So I’m very happy with that very, very good news,” he said.

    This is Huang’s third visit to China since the start of 2025. Huang will attend the opening ceremony of the third China International Supply Chain Expo on Wednesday and participate in related activities.

    China will open the third China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE) in Beijing on Wednesday, rallying multinational giants including Nvidia, Apple, and Airbus to showcase industrial resilience and cross-border collaboration.

    With 651 enterprises and institutions from 75 countries, regions and international organizations participating –including a notable 15 percent year-on-year increase in U.S. exhibitors — the event signals robust international commitment to stabilizing supply chains.

    Global giants are actively engaging. U.S. tech giant Nvidia is expected to make its debut at the expo, presenting cutting-edge robots featuring Nvidia chips. Airbus will also make its inaugural appearance, bringing its global supply chain collaborators to present the comprehensive ecosystem of the large aircraft industry.

    Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang will attend the opening ceremony of the expo on Wednesday and participate in related activities, according to the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), the event’s organizer.

    In a meeting on Tuesday with Ren Hongbin, chairman of CCPIT, Huang said that the Chinese market is large and dynamic, and the development of artificial intelligence (AI) in China is advancing rapidly.

    “Multinational companies are realizing that maintaining their position in global supply chains necessitates a strong presence in China,” said Wang Yiwei, director of the Institute of International Affairs at Renmin University of China.

    Unlike traditional trade fairs focusing on goods or services, CISCE pioneers a unique “chain-centric” model that visualizes end-to-end industrial collaboration. In each exhibition hall, upstream, midstream and downstream companies cluster in adjacent booths, visually demonstrating their interdependence and synergy.

    Many companies across the supply chain will set up collaborative displays. For example, Apple is teaming up with Chinese suppliers for the third consecutive year to showcase cutting-edge technologies in smart manufacturing and green production.

    “Multinational corporations serve as anchor companies in global industries, thriving together with upstream and downstream partners worldwide. While advancing their own growth, these corporations strengthen global industrial and supply chain resilience,” Ren said.

    The third CISCE features nearly 100 high-level events, surpassing previous editions in scale and participation, according to Xu Liang, deputy secretary-general of the China Chamber of International Commerce.

    A key innovation for this edition is the “Debut Zone,” dedicated to the global premieres of new products, technologies, and ecosystems, showcasing breakthrough innovations that drive industrial collaboration, Xu noted.

    As the host, China will bring together a diverse group of leading state-owned and private enterprises showcasing the country’s green and digital transition. Among them, Zhejiang-based AI industry chain companies, such as Unitree Robotics, BrainCo, and Hikvision, will participate.

    “Through tangible examples of global supply chains at the expo, China demonstrates its firm resolve to advance globalization towards a more open, inclusive, balanced, and win-win future. It vividly embodies the concept of building a community with a shared future, where nations are interdependent,” Wang said.

    As the world’s first national-level exhibition focusing on supply chains, the expo is an internationally shared public product. First held in 2023, the expo has contributed to building more secure, stable, open and inclusive global industrial and supply chains, according to the CCPIT.

    The previous editions have seen fruitful outcomes, with the 2024 session catalyzing more than 200 cooperation deals worth 152 billion yuan (about 21.26 billion U.S. dollars), a 1.3 percent increase from its inaugural run in 2023.

    The expo will run from Wednesday to Sunday in Beijing, with public days commencing on Saturday.

    Source: Government of South Africa

    The Minister of Science, Technology, and Innovation, Professor Blade Nzimande, will lead a high-level South African delegation on a comprehensive visit focused on science, technology and innovation (STI) in Tunisia and Algeria.

    According to the Department of Science, Technology, and Innovation (DSTI), these visits began on Monday, 14 July, and will conclude on Thursday this week.

    Nzimande is visiting the two nations following invitations from the Tunisian Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Mondher Belaid, and the Algerian Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Kamel Bidari.

    “Through these visits, Minister Nzimande seeks to reinforce existing science, technology and innovation bilateral cooperation between South Africa and Tunisia and Algeria, as part of a broader commitment to grow the size and intensity of intra-Africa STI cooperation for development,” the DSTI said in a  statement. 

    Nzimande’s programme will include bilateral engagements with his Algerian and Tunisian counterparts and visits to key science institutions.

    In Tunisia, the Minister will visit the Borja Cedria Technopark, the Pasteur Institute of Tunis, the Bardo National Museum for arts and history, and the City of Science Museum.

    In Algeria, he will visit the Centre for the Development of Advanced Technologies, the Saad Dahlab University and the Great Mosque of Algiers. 

    One highlight of the Minister’s visit to Algeria will be a guest lecture organised by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Cooperation, focusing on Pan-African cooperation.

    Reflecting on the importance of these visits, Nzimande said: “Our visit to Algeria and Tunisia forms part of our long-standing international relations strategy to strengthen meaningful science, technology and innovation cooperation with fellow African countries, and to advance the objectives of the African Union’s Science, Technology and Innovation Strategy for Africa (STISA).”

    The Minister believes that Pan-African STI cooperation and development are paramount, given the current unstable geopolitical environment and the imperatives of securing the continent’s sustainable future. 

    “All our efforts are therefore aimed towards developing what we refer to as a sovereign science, technology, and innovation agenda for Africa,” the Minister said.

    The two visits will conclude with the adoption of two new comprehensive Plans of Action, aimed at intensifying cooperation with Tunisia and Algeria, respectively.

    “This will be an immediate and concrete implementation of the ambitions for South Africa’s science diplomacy, which Minister Nzimande had outlined in his Budget Vote speech last week,” the department said. 

    The Minister’s delegation includes senior officials from the ministry, the department and its entities, such as the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and the Technology Innovation Agency (TIA), as well as experts from the Council for Mineral Technology (Mintek). – SAnews.gov.za

  • MIL-OSI Africa: From London to Lagos: Why retailers everywhere must prepare for the next wave of cyberattacks

    Source: APO – Report:

    In April, two of Britain’s biggest retailers got hit by a massive cyberattack by the notorious Scattered Spider group, leading to substantial financial losses, operational disruptions and compromised customer data (http://apo-opa.co/40O1faD). M&S suffered losses of £300 million (http://apo-opa.co/40O1gLJ) (roughly R7.3 billion) due to the attack, with supply chains affected for weeks. On top of the direct losses, over £1 billion was stripped from the organisation’s market value (http://apo-opa.co/4lPmMb3). Similarly, the Co-op experienced data breaches (http://apo-opa.co/4524lud) affecting customers’ personal information, while Harrods reported attempted cyberattacks (http://apo-opa.co/3GIeSl3), but managed to maintain online operations.

    “These attacks aren’t just about stolen data,” says Anna Collard, SVP of Content Strategy & Evangelist at KnowBe4 Africa. “They took whole systems offline.

    “In retail, downtime is a critical threat – it affects sales, customer trust, and brand loyalty, instantly.”

    A new kind of threat actor

    Unlike traditional ransomware gangs, Scattered Spider is decentralised, native English-speaking, and highly adaptive. “Scattered Spider aren’t mere opportunistic hackers,” explains Collard. “They operate more like well-funded, well-organised crime syndicates.”

    With some members as young as 19, they coordinate their activities on platforms like Discord and Telegram. “They’re agile, patient and disturbingly good at blending in,” she says. Added to this, they have great expertise in human psychology, as showcased during their attacks on Las Vegas casinos in 2023 (http://apo-opa.co/4nPvtnM).

    Their primary weapons, therefore, aren’t just digital – they’re human. “They’ve mastered social engineering,” says Collard. “They specialise in exploiting human trust. From vishing (voice phishing) to impersonating internal staff and triggering what’s referred to as ‘MFA fatigue’; they’re skilled manipulators who understand both systems and people.”

    MFA fatigue is one of the growing tactics they’re known for which involves triggering repeated multi-factor authentication (MFA) prompts, hoping the bombarded employees eventually click “approve” just to make the interruptions stop.

    “Legacy systems, shadow IT, and poorly enforced policies create entry points. Attackers don’t need to break in if they can just log in.”

    Another alleged tactic Scattered Spider used in its latest attacks involved calling IT helpdesks to reset credentials, gaining access to their target’s infrastructure and subsequently deploying a ransomware-as-a-service tool. The outcome? Encrypted systems, stalled operations, and a long road to recovery.

    Why Africa should be paying close attention

    Retailers across Africa – particularly in South Africa, Nigeria, and Kenya – are digitally transforming at a rapid pace. Cloud-based POS systems, centralised inventory platforms, and data-driven loyalty programmes are now standard. But these digital advancements also expand attack surfaces.

    High employee turnover, remote workforces, and under-resourced helpdesks can compound exposure. And while business English is common in South Africa, this linguistic advantage also makes local teams more susceptible to social engineering by fluent English-speaking attackers.

    “Our local executives aren’t naïve,” Collard notes. “Many are acutely aware of the risks. What’s needed now is clarity on what really matters – and cutting through the noise.”

    Pepkor IT’s CISO, Duncan Rae, delivered an insightful talk at the ITWeb Security Summit in May where he warned that cybersecurity teams are often overwhelmed – not just by threats, but by too many competing priorities. Teams are bombarded with shiny, new tools and threat reports spreading fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) which sometimes makes organisations lose sight of the basics, he warned.

    “These basics include managing human risk, addressing third-party exposure, and hardening vulnerabilities,” according to Rae.

    What needs to change?

    Collard points to gaps in access controls, third-party risk management, and cloud security as common weaknesses – not just in the UK, but globally. “Legacy systems, shadow IT, and poorly enforced policies create entry points,” she warns. “Attackers don’t need to break in if they can just log in.”

    For African retail leaders, this is a call to fortify the human layer.

    “Train your frontline teams, especially in helpdesk and customer support. Teach them to detect manipulation. Make secure behaviour the norm – not the exception.”

    Equally important, she says, is embedding cybersecurity into leadership conversations. “Cybersecurity is not just an IT function. It’s a board-level business risk.

    “Executives must ask tough questions about readiness, incident response, and accountability.”

    From awareness to action

    Too often, security training is treated as a box-ticking exercise. Collard urges a more thoughtful approach: “Training must resonate. It should be contextual, culturally relevant, and delivered in local languages where appropriate.”

    She challenges business leaders with the following:

    • Could an attacker trick your helpdesk into a password reset?
    • Would your staff recognise a social engineering attempt?
    • Do you test these scenarios regularly?

    “If the answer is ‘no’ to any of these, your organisation is vulnerable,” Collard says. “But the good news is that change is possible – and fast – when you start investing in the human element.”

    “Cyber resilience is a collective responsibility,” she concludes. “And in an interconnected world, learning from each other’s crises is one of the smartest defences we have.”

  • MIL-OSI: Breaking Presale News: Meme Coin Little Pepe Raises $6,575,000, Stage 5 Sold Out

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Little Pepe ($LILPEPE) has officially sold out Stage 5 of its presale in record time, surpassing $6.575 million in total funds raised and solidifying its position as one of the fastest-growing meme coin projects on the market.

    Powered by an EVM-compatible Layer 2 blockchain, Little Pepe continues to attract investors with its blend of meme-driven community appeal and real technological infrastructure. With Stage 6 now live and tokens priced at $0.0015, momentum around the project shows no signs of slowing as crypto enthusiasts race to get in before the next price increase.

    Rapid Presale Growth and Stage 6 Launch

    Little Pepe’s presale has been nothing short of explosive. With each stage selling out faster than the last, the demand for $LILPEPE tokens has intensified as more users recognize the project’s long-term potential. Stage 5, priced at $0.0014, drew thousands of new investors eager to get in before the next price hike. That momentum has now carried into Stage 6, where tokens are available at $0.0015—a 7% increase from the previous stage.

    The consistent growth of the presale shows that this is more than just another short-lived meme coin. It’s a project that blends Ethereum compatibility, Layer 2 scalability, and a strong community narrative, making it one of the most promising entrants in the 2025 meme coin cycle.

    Backed by Real Blockchain Infrastructure

    While most meme coins rely purely on social buzz and viral campaigns, Little Pepe brings potential innovation to the desk. It is built on a custom EVM-well matched Layer 2 blockchain, designed for high-speed, low-fee transactions. This gives it a major advantage over traditional ERC-20 meme tokens that still depend upon Ethereum’s congested mainnet.

    By the usage of Layer 2 technology, Little Pepe is capable of offering faster, inexpensive interactions while still benefiting from the security of Ethereum. This positions it as a future-ready platform, capable of supporting decentralized applications (dApps), NFT market, staking, and more.

    Community-Driven Project & Final Presale Stages Approaching

    At its heart, Little Pepe is a community-powered ecosystem, driven by its holders and fans across social media. From Telegram groups to X (formerly Twitter), the project’s vibrant following has helped fuel the rapid presale growth. This isn’t just hype—it’s a well-organized effort to support a meme coin that offers both humor and utility.

    As Little Pepe moves through the remaining stages of its presale, excitement continues to build.

  • MIL-OSI: Breaking Presale News: Meme Coin Little Pepe Raises $6,575,000, Stage 5 Sold Out

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Little Pepe ($LILPEPE) has officially sold out Stage 5 of its presale in record time, surpassing $6.575 million in total funds raised and solidifying its position as one of the fastest-growing meme coin projects on the market.

    Powered by an EVM-compatible Layer 2 blockchain, Little Pepe continues to attract investors with its blend of meme-driven community appeal and real technological infrastructure. With Stage 6 now live and tokens priced at $0.0015, momentum around the project shows no signs of slowing as crypto enthusiasts race to get in before the next price increase.

    Rapid Presale Growth and Stage 6 Launch

    Little Pepe’s presale has been nothing short of explosive. With each stage selling out faster than the last, the demand for $LILPEPE tokens has intensified as more users recognize the project’s long-term potential. Stage 5, priced at $0.0014, drew thousands of new investors eager to get in before the next price hike. That momentum has now carried into Stage 6, where tokens are available at $0.0015—a 7% increase from the previous stage.

    The consistent growth of the presale shows that this is more than just another short-lived meme coin. It’s a project that blends Ethereum compatibility, Layer 2 scalability, and a strong community narrative, making it one of the most promising entrants in the 2025 meme coin cycle.

    Backed by Real Blockchain Infrastructure

    While most meme coins rely purely on social buzz and viral campaigns, Little Pepe brings potential innovation to the desk. It is built on a custom EVM-well matched Layer 2 blockchain, designed for high-speed, low-fee transactions. This gives it a major advantage over traditional ERC-20 meme tokens that still depend upon Ethereum’s congested mainnet.

    By the usage of Layer 2 technology, Little Pepe is capable of offering faster, inexpensive interactions while still benefiting from the security of Ethereum. This positions it as a future-ready platform, capable of supporting decentralized applications (dApps), NFT market, staking, and more.

    Community-Driven Project & Final Presale Stages Approaching

    At its heart, Little Pepe is a community-powered ecosystem, driven by its holders and fans across social media. From Telegram groups to X (formerly Twitter), the project’s vibrant following has helped fuel the rapid presale growth. This isn’t just hype—it’s a well-organized effort to support a meme coin that offers both humor and utility.

    As Little Pepe moves through the remaining stages of its presale, excitement continues to build. Investors now entering at Stage 6 are hoping to ride the wave ahead of potential exchange listings and ecosystem rollouts. With over $6.575M already raised and the price per token increasing stage by stage, $LILPEPE is quickly shaping up to be one of the breakout meme coins of the year.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: Economic Commission for Africa (ECA)’s Gatete sets tone at High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) 2025 with focus on finance and data gaps

    Source: APO


    .

    At the opening of the 2025 High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF), Claver Gatete, Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), called for urgent action to bridge global financing gaps and support innovation systems that work for all.

    “Digital tools and mission-driven science can accelerate SDGs delivery, but only if systems are inclusive and backed by real financing at scale,” he said, moderating a high-level Townhall session on SDGs implementation as part of ECA’s coordinating role among the UN Regional Commissions.

    The session, titled Unlocking the Means of Implementation: Finance, Science, Technology and Innovation for the SDGs, focused on how to move from global commitments to tangible solutions. It brought together leaders from public and private sectors to examine how capital flows, technology, and policy can better support sustainable development.

    With participation from Sanda Ojiambo, Executive Director of the UN Global Compact; Robbert Dijkgraaf, President-Elect of the International Science Council; and Robert Kirkpatrick, Chairman of the Board of the United Cities Foundation, the conversation highlighted the urgency of scaling investment, adopting alternative financing models, and building inclusive systems.

    Together, the panel stressed the importance of translating innovation into real-world results, especially across Africa and other regions facing deep development disparities.

    Speaking at another session on poverty eradication, Mr Gatete highlighted the need to ground policy and investment in sharper, more integrated data systems.

    “We can’t end poverty if we can’t measure it accurately,” he said at the event hosted by the Permanent Mission of Uruguay to the UN, UNDP, the Multidimensional Poverty Peer Network (MPPN), and other partners. “It’s time to shift from measuring what’s convenient to measuring what matters.”

    Mr Gatete pointed to ECA’s development of a prototype Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) dashboard for African countries. The platform links spatial poverty data with climate vulnerability, migration flows, peace and security trends, and subnational budget execution, providing governments with a more complete picture of where to direct resources and improve social protection.

    As the forum continues, Mr Gatete and ECA are keeping Africa’s priorities on the table, advocating for fairer finance, smarter tools, and a more inclusive path to 2030.

  • MIL-OSI Submissions: Pacific – Opportunities are endless for Nauru as Australian executive appointed to head new virtual assets regulator

    Source: Government of Nauru

     

    Following legislation passed by Nauru’s parliament last month to establish an authority to regulate virtual assets including cryptocurrency, the government has appointed highly respected Australian banking and financial markets executive Brian Phelps as its inaugural CEO. 

     

    In announcing the appointment, President of Nauru David Adeang said Mr Phelps’ vast experience will ensure the Command Ridge Virtual Asset Authority (CRVAA) will have a foundation of integrity and impact, champion innovation, and promote Nauru as a trusted digital jurisdiction.

     

    He reinforced the government’s goal of attracting businesses that bring investment, job creation, and financial innovation to the nation.

     

    “We must be innovative in our quest for economic resilience and a higher standard of living for our people, while prioritising international best practices and the highest levels of governance and compliance,” Mr Adeang said. 

     

    “This ensures investors and foreign platforms can have great trust in Nauru. 

     

    Mr Phelps has worked extensively with regulators, industry bodies and government, and served for 21 years as General Manager, Broking and Markets at CommSec, Australia’s largest online stockbroking firm and subsidiary of the Commonwealth Bank. 

     

    He has also been a committee member of the Australian Financial Markets Association. 

     

    The CRVAA will provide a licencing scheme to allow virtual asset service providers to register and offer their services using Nauru as a base.

     

    It is tasked with ensuring cybersecurity standards, monitoring financial transactions and enforcing compliance with international anti-money laundering and financial transparency protocols.

     

    Mr Phelps said he was attracted to the role because the regulatory authority would be transformational to Nauru.

     

    “This can reshape and strengthen Nauru’s economy over the long term, and create sustainability for future generations of Nauruans.”

     

    He said the benefits to Nauru will go far beyond cryptocurrency and virtual assets.

     

    “I see us attracting international companies to invest in Nauru and opening up new employment pathways as Nauruans build new skill sets.

     

    “It’s a very exciting initiative.”

     

    Mr Phelps said the opportunities were endless and include potentially transforming Nauru into a hub for AI and other leading technology.
