Major Security Breach Exposes 2.5 Billion Gmail Users to Scams A significant cybersecurity incident has put the accounts of 2.5 billion Gmail users at risk, as a hacking group known as ShinyHunters managed to breach a Google database. This breach occurred through a Google employee being tricked into sharing login credentials in June. The hackers accessed business files containing company names and customer contact details, though Google has stated that no passwords were taken during the incident. The stolen data has since been used by scammers to launch fake phone calls and send malicious emails to these customers, aiming to gain access to their Google accounts and private information. Cybersecurity expert James Knight warned that this hack could cause major harm to anyone with a Gmail account, as scammers have already begun impersonating Google employees on the phone. Knight explained that there has been a surge in hacking groups trying to exploit this vulnerability. He mentioned a...

The Rise of Exam Malpractice in Nigeria's Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination The 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) has become a focal point for concerns over widespread malpractice, particularly within Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres accredited by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
