-

 Born on May 28, 1957, in Nyankunde, in the current province of Ituri, Dieudonné Amuli Bahigwa is a career military officer who served under several political regimes in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

🎓 1979: DEPARTURE FROM THE MILITARY ACADEMY

After completing his training at the military academy, he graduated in 1979 with the rank of lieutenant. He gradually held various responsibilities, including as a platoon leader and commander of a company.
He also underwent commando training in Kotakoli, obtaining a parachuting certificate and attending a command and staff school in Israel.
⚔️ 1977: FIRST COMBAT EXPERIENCE
According to Radio Okapi, he participated in the 80-day war in Katanga in 1977, holding the rank of major at the time of his graduation from the military academy in 1979; the details of his initial career would therefore need to be clarified by military archives.
🎖️ HIS RANKS
The sources consulted indicate several stages:
1979: lieutenant, upon graduating from the military academy.
January 1, 1990: major, according to the portrait published by Bunia Actualité.
2003: lieutenant-general, a rank confirmed by a presidential decree of August 19, 2003.
2014: lieutenant-general, the rank under which he held the position of deputy chief of staff for operations and intelligence.
The complete chronology of his possible intermediate ranks remains to be established from the official promotion documents.
⚓ 2003: DEPUTY CHIEF OF THE NAVAL FORCE
In the context of the reunification of the Congolese army, he was appointed as deputy chief of staff of the Naval Force within the FARDC.
Before that, he had joined the Movement for the Liberation of the Congo (MLC) led by Jean-Pierre Bemba, where he held military command responsibilities.
🎯 2010–2017: MILITARY OPERATIONS AND DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF
Starting from March 1, 2010, he commanded Operation Amani Leo, conducted in the east of the DRC. In September 2014, he was appointed deputy chief of staff for operations and intelligence.
These positions place him at the heart of military planning and coordination.
👮 2017: HEAD OF THE CONGOLESE NATIONAL POLICE
On July 17, 2017, he was appointed as the general commissioner of the Congolese National Police. He officially takes up his duties the next day, succeeding Charles Bisengimana Rukira.
He leads the National Police until his retirement, announced in April 2023.
📌 44 YEARS OF SERVICE
After more than four decades under the flags, he is retired by President Félix Tshisekedi and replaced by General Commissioner Benjamin Alongaboni.
Released from his military obligations, he returns to his former political affiliations by officially joining Jean-Pierre Bemba's MLC in December 2023.
In early 2024, he is designated by his party as a gubernatorial candidate for the province of Ituri, relying on his mastery of the security situation and his notoriety as a local notable.

A new way for cybercriminals to create fake social media profiles and carry identity scams using Artificial Intelligence powered tool? A couple of months ago  it was reported that  NVIDIA has developed a tool that uses Artificial Intelligence to create extremely realistic human faces which in reality do not exist. Now, there is a website that is currently receiving a lot of attention online due to a similar function. Apparently, the website can recreate realistic fstent people by just hitting the Refresh button. Designed by a software engineer Philip Wang, who works at Uber, the website can generate fake but realistic looking human faces of people who don’t actually exist, using artificial intelligence. The website is hosted at  ThisPersonDoesNotExist.com . Wang used the research from NVIDIA’s algorithm StyleGAN to produce an infinite stream of fake portraits because the algorithm that he has used can generate a plethora of real images and use the generative ...

Attacking the Qualcomm's GPU

-
 - When writing an Android exploit, breaking out of the application sandbox is often a key step. There are a wide range of remote attacks that give you code execution with the privileges of an application (like the browser or a messaging application), but a sandbox escape is still required to gain full system access. This blog post focuses on an interesting attack surface that is accessible from the Android application sandbox: the graphics processing unit (GPU) hardware. We describe an unusual vulnerability in Qualcomm's Adreno GPU, and how it could be used to achieve kernel code execution from within the Android application sandbox. This research was built upon the work by Guang Gong (@oldfresher ), who reported CVE-2019-10567 in August 2019. One year later, in early August 2020, Guang Gong released an excellent whitepaper describing CVE-2019-10567, and some other vulnerabilities that allowed full system compromise by a remote attacker. However in June 2020, I noticed that the pa...

Major General Ori Gordin, head of Israel's Northern Command, was reportedly killed today in a rocket strike believed to have been carried out by Iran, according to unconfirmed Israeli sources. Gordin, a veteran commander responsible for defense along the borders with Lebanon and Syria, played a central role in recent operations in the north. According to some accounts, Gordin stated today that "the threats from Iran's proxies in the north will be met with an overwhelming Israeli force." Explosions struck a military post in the north shortly afterward. The area is cordoned off; the government remains silent, but media outlets are reporting Gordin's death. An escalation of the conflict between Israel and Iran is looming.
