Are You Really Muted? Mute Buttons in Video Conferencing Apps

By -
Image
  Researchers from the University of Wisconsin and the University of Chicago have found in a research that muting popular video calling apps does not actually mute the microphone, continuing to record from it.  According to the researchers, the mute buttons in the apps do not deactivate the microphone, but only mute it for other users. The worst part is that it's hard to know when an app isn't analyzing sound, since the microphone and camera on indicator doesn't work with all video calling apps.  Zoom, Microsoft Teams/Skype, Cisco Webex, Google Meet, Jitsi Meet and Discord are on the list of users who like to eavesdrop. Every minute they send packets with your audio data to their servers❗️ Which of these services do you use?

Is TikTok Dangerous To Personal Privacy and Security?

By -
Image
Similar to most proprietary social media networks, TikTok collects user data and information.  What Are the Dangers of TikTok? ✔️ TikTok collects a lot of data : TikTok takes advantage of every access permission you give it, collecting info about your phone 📱 model, screen resolution, current OS, phone number, email address, location, and even contact list. ✔️ Multiple security vulnerabilities within the app:  TikTok uses an insecure HTTP connection to deliver videos instead of the more secure option, HTTPS. ✔️ The hundreds of hours of video that individuals upload themselves are a goldmine for artificial intelligence and machine learning development.  ✔️ Using TikTok regularly, either as a consumer or content creator, increases your digital footprint. Be careful what you share on TikTok❗️ Do you use TikTok? Do you like it?

We have not introduced uniforms for teachers – GES

By -
Image
The Ghana Education Service (GES) has dispelled claims that teachers in public schools will henceforth wear uniforms to their workplace. Over the weekend, some social media users reported that teachers will now report to work in dull peach coloured shirts and deep brown skirts and trousers with the Ghana Education Service tag on the left pocket. In a Facebook post on Sunday, the GES noted that it has and would not issue a circular on social media announcing the introduction of uniforms for teachers. According to the Service, it cannot independently decide that teachers should wear uniforms to work since it would have to engage the various teacher unions. “GES is one of the largest Government agencies in Ghana. We employ more than half of all government employees. If we want to introduce uniforms for teachers, we won’t do that through social media and over the weekend,”  the Service added. The Service has implored the public to disregard such reports as they are “fake news”.

The Northern Regional Director of Education, Mohammed Haroon Cambodia has confirmed government will be paying a staggering GHC400,000 as judgment debt to a private citizen in order to stop the auctioning of vehicles belonging to the Ghana Senior High School in Tamale. Government is offering the bailout following a chronic transport difficulty that has hit the school for the last two years after a court order impounded the only bus for students and a brand new official pickup vehicle. Two Nissan patrol vehicles belonging to the Education directorate were also taken by the court.
