USA arrests a Nigerian, Raymond Igbalode or Ramon Olorunwa Abbas ,a notorious Nigerian scammer

One of Ray Hushpuppi’s targets was the English Premier League soccer club from which he tried to steal £100m (approximately $125 million).
Roman Abbas, aka Ray Hushpuppi , is a famous Nigerian social media star and followed by millions on Instagram where he often posts about his lavish lifestyle. Perhaps this has landed him into trouble, as law enforcement authorities were skeptical of how he became super-rich, and further probe led to some startling revelations about the Nigerian Instagrammer.
These days, Hushpuppi is in hot waters as a US court has charged him for running a global BEC scam and targeting a Premier League Club to steal £100 million which is approximately $125 million.
Reportedly, the FBI was investigating the involvement of the 37-year-old Instagrammer in money laundering and BEC scams for months. They could track Hushpuppi’s movement by following his posts on his Instagram account, which has over 2.4 million followers.
Hushpuppi regularly posted on Instagram, and he was always dressed in high-end designer clothing, wore expensive watches, and traveled in charter jets or luxury cars.

The law enforcement officials suspected that Abbas was financing his lavish lifestyle through illegal means of earning. His last Instagram post in June shows a Rolls-Royce with the hashtag AllMine and this caption from Hushpuppi:
According to the US Justice Department’s
press release , Dubai police also collaborated with the FBI in Operation Fox Hunt 2. Last month Hushpuppi was arrested in Dubai and transported to the US, where he was presented in a Chicago court.
According to court documents Hushpuppi was operating a
BEC (business email compromise) scheme through which he hacked corporate emails, and tricked company employees into transferring money to his accounts.

Moreover, Ray Hushpuppi is accused of laundering millions of dollars that he stole through various scams and computer hackings. Some of his targets included U.S. law firm, a foreign bank, and the English Premier League soccer club.
The Dubai Police presented a video that shows officers storming inside Hushpuppi’s residence to arrest him while he slept. A series of coordinated raids followed suit; the police claim to have also arrested around a dozen alleged accomplices of Hushpuppi. If found guilty Hushpuppi may receive up to 20 years of jail time.
Tim Bandos, Vice President of Cybersecurity at Digital Guardian said “Because these highly lucrative attacks are succeeding, they will continue to attract more groups willing to attempt their methods. It’s time that businesses consider applying security to their business practices because IT security tools are not infallible against human behavior,” Bandos warned.
“As an example, train your staff to require third party validation for any financial transaction or introduce payment procedures requiring multiple sets of independent eyes. Malicious individuals are abusing the fact that junior staff implicitly trust their seniors and act quickly as instructed. You must put in place processes and beliefs that when unordinary requests come through they should be questioned,” Bandos emphasized.
BEC which is also known as “cyber-enabled financial fraud attacks” is part of a sophisticated scam in which cybercriminals target companies or employees dealing with finance and perform regular wire transfer payments.
In the second phase of the attack, cybercriminals attempt to get their hands on email addresses of these employees and impersonate as a business partner or key employee and send fraudulent requests for checks rather than wire transfers.
Last year, a US Judge was tricked into sending $1 million to a bank account in China. In the scam, cybercriminals pretended to be her lawyer asking to send money to a bank account. Following the instruction, she wired $1,057,500 to the bank account in China rather than her lawyer.
In another incident, Google and Facebook were also tricked by a Lithuanian man who impersonated as an employee of a famous Asian company. The scammer was using phishing emails to collect the details of wire transactions and other relevant details just to make his case more believable – In the end, he scammed both companies with $100 million.

US Army has begun a key test of a new integrated air defense system that was delayed due to the onset of the COVID-19

The US Army has begun a key test of a new integrated air defense system that was delayed due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. If successful, it could mean the introduction of a new, advanced generation of expanded anti-missile defenses.
A limited user test (LUT) of the Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System (IBCS) is now underway at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, Breaking Defense reported on Monday .
Involving more than 700 people, the test could not proceed until major challenges involving social distancing were addressed, the outlet noted. While many folks can do their data analysis remotely, the key purpose of the test is to see how the system functions under realistic battle conditions when handled by real people - the soldiers who will man it on the battlefield - and not test engineers.
In response, the Army has set up a series of safeguards, such as constant testing and careful monitoring of travel between otherwise-separated working groups, to make sure the test can go on until September as required without getting people sick.
According to the Center for Strategic and International Studies’ (CSIS) “Missile Threat” project, the IBCS is “intended is to integrate the communications between weapon launchers, radars, and the operators, allowing an air defense unit, such as a Patriot battery, to fire its interceptors using information provided by the radar of another.”
Defense contractor Northrop Grumman is heading the IBCS project, receiving a $60 million contract to continue the work last October. According to the firm, previous tests have demonstrated that multiple radar systems from different air defense networks can be linked together to provide anti-air missiles with better targeting information, enabling them to engage beyond the horizon.
The Army has said the IBCS will benefit tools such as Short Range Air Defense (SHORAD) and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) systems, as well as Patriot missile batteries. Gen. John M. Murray, the commanding general of Army Futures Command, has also said the system will integrate Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system.
A previous test of the IBCS in 2016 went so badly that the system was postponed for at least four years. However, the Army has restructured its testing bureaucracy and compatibility requirements since then. If the test is successful, the IBCS could enter service by the end of 2022.

Russia declared that it is going to deploy a space system that warns of missile attacks by 2024 with high-orbit space intelligence system

Last Thursday,Russia declared that it was going to deploy a space system that warns of missile attacks by 2024, Sergei Surovikin, the commander of the Russian Aerospace Forces, told the military’s official newspaper Krasnaya Zvezda on Thursday.
"As part of creating the United Space System , [Russia] is going to deploy the orbital constellation of spacecraft by 2024", Surovikin said.
According to the Russian Defence Ministry, the United Space System will play a key role in ensuring the missile attack warning system.
The commander also said that equipping the missile attack warning system with the latest-generation radars would be complete by 2022, noting that this modernisation would be achieved after putting into service modern radar systems near the city of Vorkuta (the Republic of Komi) in 2021 and in Murmansk in 2022.
"Putting these radar stations into service will complete the re-equipment of the missile attack warning system with the latest-generation radars", Surovikin said.
Surovikin additionally revealed that the country would start deploying two new constellations of military communications and intelligence satellites in 2022 and 2023.
"In 2022, [Russia] is going to start
deploying the promising third-stage united satellite communications system of the Russian Armed Forces, while starting in 2023 it will start deploying a high-orbit space intelligence system"

, Surovikin said.
Russia will also build new radar systems as part of the missile attack warning system in the Far East and modernise those in other regions, according to the commander.
"The plan of developing the missile attack warning system envisages the modernisation of some radars ... operating in the Krasnoyarsk Territory and Irkutsk Region, as well as creating new systems with improved specifications and interference immunity in the Far East Federal District and the Leningrad Region", he added.

The US State Department approved a potential $2 billion sale of three E-2D Advanced Hawkeye Aircraft and related equipment to France

The US State Department approved a potential $2 billion sale of three E-2D Advanced Hawkeye Aircraft and related equipment to France, the Defence Security Cooperation Agency said in a press release on Monday.
"The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of France of three (3) E-2D Advanced Hawkeye Aircraft and related equipment for an estimated cost of $2 billion", the release said.
Notice of a pending arms sale and notification of Congress, also announced in the release, is required before an arms sale can be concluded.
DSCA said the proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping France meet current and future threats by maintaining interoperability with US naval forces. France operates earlier versions of the E-2C and will have no problem absorbing the upgraded versions of the aircraft, the release read.
Hawkeye manufacturer Northrop Grumman describes the aircraft as the 'digital quarterback' that leads and manages an attack, protecting carrier battle groups, according to a company website.

Two private universities closed in Rwanda.

The Rwandan authorities have declared the closure of two private universities on Sunday. They join the other ten sanctioned for non-compliance with the requirements of the quality of education.
The closure was closed on Sunday by the Minister of Higher Education. It concerns two private universities that would not have met the quality requirements laid down by the government.

Among them, Professor Aegis Karuranga, Vice-President of the University of Kibungo (UNIK), recently closed, in the eastern province. He was detained for "poor use of university funds and nepotism" after the university closed last week.
These higher education institutions have just made the costs of an 2017 quality of education review. Operation that has already sanctioned a dozen schools including Mahatma Gandhi University in Kigali.
As for students, "It is up to closed universities to help their students sign up in other schools", says Ms. Uwamariya.
