Stakeholders in the ICT market have been advised to respect and patronize the channel distribution because of the numerous benefits embedded in it.

The channel is one sure link to the manufacturer that guarantees that consumers buy genuine and original products, have access to manufacturer’s warranties, enjoy competitive pricing and an after  sales support with almost zero downtime.

Cheikh Dia, sales director Africa, iDirect, during a meeting with the Technology Distributions marketing team to consolidate strategies, already put in place, to ensure that the partnership remains the most credible source for hubs, routers and network management software.

Dia expressed great surprise that many ICT stake holders in West Africa were still going through the pain of ordering outside of the region only to be re-directed to Technology Distributions.

He said that Technology Distributions already has warehoused large stock of iDirect products including powerful universal satellite hubs, modems and accessories to meet all requirements for scalability and durability.

Also in stock is a comprehensive range of applications-specific products such as network accelerators and optimizers that enhance network performance.

The iDirect Sales director urged commercial and social enterprises, military establishments, governments and grassroots organizers to shun the temptation of buying through the grey market because the channel remains, both in the short and long term, the platform for building networks that yield higher bandwidth efficiency with lower budgets – better triple solutions VOIP, DATA, VIDEO, and INTERNET.

Mr. Etiene Etukudoh, executive director, Marketing,  reaffirmed that TD marketing, including resellers, have been trained razor sharp to move the sales graph upwards for iDirect in the West African region. Warehouses in Lagos, Port Harcourt, Abuja and Accra were fully stocked to deliver large orders at very short notice.

Etukudoh said that TD remains committed to the development of resellers with trade incentives that are consistent to the vision of the founding fathers to lead the ICT revolution in Africa. He called on all organizations and persons thinking of installing a hub infrastructure to talk to the TD Reseller nearest to them.

Technology Distributions, set up in 1999, has a reputation for innovative marketing, good corporate governance and impressive financial capacities that have propelled many international brands to the number 1 position in West Africa.

Brands that have leveraged from the TD platform include Microsoft, HP, APC by Schneider, Epson, Zinox, and Dell. Others are Toshiba, IBM, Lenovo, Samsung, Canon and Cisco.

Microsoft Servers Hacked by Chinese Groups

Chinese “threat actors” have hacked Microsoft’s SharePoint document software servers and targeted the data of the businesses using it, the firm has said.

Microsoft Servers Hacked by Chinese Groups

 

China state-backed Linen Typhoon and Violet Typhoon as well as China-based Storm-2603 were said to have “exploited vulnerabilities” in on-premises SharePoint servers, the kind used by firms, but not in its cloud-based service.

The US tech giant has released security updates in response and has advised all on-premises SharePoint server customers to install them.

“Investigations into other actors also using these exploits are still ongoing,” Microsoft said in a statement.

The firm said it had “high confidence” the hackers would continue to target systems which have not installed its security updates.

It added that it would update its website blog with more information as its investigation continues.

Microsoft said it had observed attacks in which hackers had sent a request to a SharePoint server “enabling the theft of the key material by threat actors”.

Charles Carmakal, chief technology officer at Mandiant Consulting firm, a division of Google Cloud, told reporter, it was “aware of several victims in several different sectors across a number of global geographies”.

Carmakal said it appeared that governments and businesses that use SharePoint on their sites were the primary target.

A number of adversaries who stole material encoded by cryptography were then able to regain ongoing access to the victims’ SharePoint data, he said.

“This was exploited in a very broad way, very opportunistically before a patch was made available. That’s why this is significant,” Carmakal said.

Carmakal said the “China-nexus actor” was deploying techniques similar to previous campaigns associated with Beijing.

Microsoft said Linen Typhoon had “focused on stealing intellectual property, primarily targeting organizations related to government, defence, strategic planning, and human rights” for 13 years.

It added that Violet Typhoon had been “dedicated to espionage”, primarily targeting former government and military staff, non-governmental organizations, think tanks, higher education, the media, the financial sector and the health sector in the US, Europe, and East Asia.

Meanwhile, Storm-2603 was “assessed with medium confidence to be a China-based threat actor”.
