Opera and Google has announced a collaboration towards enhance the accessibility and usability of Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) for mobile phone users, combining the best attributes of both apps and mobile sites, resulting in considerable data savings.

“PWAs start out in web browsers, just like normal websites. When a user continuously uses the site, an install banner is shown, allowing users to add the site to their home screens,” said Andreas Bovens, Opera for Android Product Lead who recently spoke at the PWA Roadshow event in Lagos.

Opera Mini, a popular data compression browser, is regarded as super-fast and great for saving mobile data (up to 90%).

According to 1 Enders Analysis, here are some additional features you may not have known about Opera:
Ad-noying

Face it, some ads are extremely annoying. To make matters worse, ads and background trackers can steal up to 79%1 of your data – that’s almost NGN80 for every NGN100 you spend on data.

They also slow down web pages by as much as 90%. Opera Mini for Android’s ad-blocking feature enables users to block all ads, showing you just how many you’ve blocked and how much faster your browser has performed, as a result.

In-sync
So many of us have multiple devices (iPads, tablets, laptops etc.) and switching to your phone can be a schlep when your bookmarked stuff is on your PC.

Thanks to Opera Mini’s sync function, this is no longer a problem – now you can seamlessly transition between devices and keep your important browsing info at your fingertips.

Give Me A Boost
That video still buffering? Opera further accelerates the loading process by reducing video size meaning you save even more on data costs.

See Ya Later
Video streaming can be very exhausting.  A lost connection doesn’t just waste time, it also consumes more data.

Opera Mini’s video download feature is the browser’s latest
innovation, enabling you to download videos from top video and social media websites on your phone for later viewing, even when you’re offline – excellent when you are on the go.

Parlez-vous Français?
Opera Mini also enables browsing in over 90 languages, including African languages such Afrikaans, Zulu, Sesotho, Kiswahili and more.

Cybervergent’s Q1 2024 Report Reveals Rising Threat of Remcos RAT Malware in Financial Sector

Published

Kindly share this post

Cybervergent, a foremost technology company providing automated cybersecurity solutions, in its Quarterly Brief has revealed a troubling trend in the financial sector that shows a spike in attacks utilising the deceptive Remote Control and Surveillance Access Trojan (Remcos RAT) in Q1, 2024.

The findings affirm a stark forewarning to the financial institutions and organisations in the African continent, urging heightened vigilance and proactive measures to mitigate potential escalating risks.

Previously marketed as a legitimate software, Remcos got co-opted by malicious actors and is now a prevalent tool in cybercrime campaigns. This remote access tool grants attackers hidden entry into victims’ devices, allowing them to seize control, pilfer sensitive data, and even introduce stealth backdoors to compromise entire systems. The capabilities of Remcos are diverse and frightening, ranging from disabling vital security features like User Account Control (UAC) to covertly recording user activities.

“As vigilant cybersecurity gatekeepers, we have observed a significant surge in attacks leveraging the Remcos RAT malware,” said Gbolabo Awelewa, the Chief Solutions Officer, Cybervergent. “Financial institutions are particularly targeted due to the sensitive nature of their data and assets. Organisations must remain diligent and adopt proactive monitoring measures to safeguard against such threats.”

The proactive approach adopted by Cybervergent’s Cyber Operations Centre involves meticulous analysis of attacker tactics, constant updating of threat intelligence, and implementing robust endpoint security solutions. These measures are designed to detect, prevent, and neutralise Remote Access Trojans like Remcos, ensuring the continued security and compliance of organisations in the face of evolving cyber threats.

“Our mission is to fortify our clients’ defenses and ensure the seamless operation of their organisations,” added Gbolabo. “By staying ahead of emerging attack vectors and vulnerabilities, we empower businesses to take proactive measures and protect their valuable assets.”

Looking ahead, Adetokunbo Omotosho, Chief Executive Officer of Cybervergent emphasised the firm’s focus on empowering organisations to navigate the complexities of cybersecurity and compliance with dexterity and confidence.

“Cybervergent’s Assurance and Compliance Team has demonstrated unparalleled leadership in the cybersecurity domain, achieving significant milestones and delivering transformative solutions. Our journey through Q1 reflects a deep commitment to advancing the state of cybersecurity compliance, paving the way for a secure and resilient digital future for organisations in Africa and across the world”, he added.
