Zimbabwe is planning a daring move to trace every mobile handset in the fight against cybercrime (allegedly). Zimbabwe’s telecommunications regulator is pushing for the creation of a nationwide database that can track and block stolen or illegal mobile phones in a move officials say will help combat rising cybercrime and protect digital financial transactions. But the big question is will it be the only reason of tracking the devices. When government tries to roll out such things we can’t help it but think of China and North Korea. Usually these always end up being misused by unlawfully tracking citizens or even censoring what is shared, effectively shutting down free speech and suppressing human rights. On the surface it would really useful in combating crime but we all know that, it will not be it’s only function. So what does this mean.

By now everyone knows or may have heard of WhatsApp for PC to use on computer just like your movie app. Meta warned Windows users to update the WhatsApp messaging app to the latest version to patch a vulnerability that can let attackers execute malicious code on their devices. Described as a spoofing issue and tracked as CVE-2025-30401, this security flaw can be exploited by attackers by sending maliciously crafted files with altered file types to potential targets. Meta says the vulnerability impacted all WhatsApp versions and has been fixed with the release of WhatsApp 2.2450.6. So what did it actually do and were you affected?

How a simple double-click can quietly give hackers access to your accounts. Nowadays, double-clicking on something on a website without thinking can set you up for hackers to reach your information but that’s not just it, even your Smart TV can be vulnerable to hacking. A new hacking trick called "doubleclickjacking" turns your ordinary action into a sneaky way for attackers to take control of your account or change your device settings. So how is this attack carried out, how to prevent it and if you happen to be a victim of it what steps to take? Let’s find out.

More than $25 million in payments will go out to customers who were tricked into paying for fraudulent tech support offered by two companies. Sometime last year, some computer users all around the world were victims to a very elaborate scam, which was carefully orchestrated by 2 companies which actually had some credibility in the tech space but their reasons for resorting to such contact is still a mystery. But all was not lost as a settlement to refund the funds was reached with both companies agreeing to pay back the money taken from unsuspecting users. So how did this scam work and how are the victims going to be compensated?

Entrepreneurs are often recognized as the backbone of the economy and for good reason. They drive innovation, create jobs, and inject vitality into industries, fueling economic growth and shaping the future. From small local startups to global disruptors, entrepreneurs identify problems, deliver solutions, and push boundaries, building the businesses that keep economies dynamic and evolving. However, starting and sustaining a business is a challenging endeavor. From my own long entrepreneurial journey, I've learned that success isn't just about having a great idea it's about execution, resilience, and strategy.

Generally, a firewall is set up on an appliance, such as a computer that fulfills just a single, narrowly defined task those found in companies, public authorities, and scientific institutions, for instance. The firewall is one of the most important security features in a computer environment. A firewall of this type monitors the connection between two networks, such as the internal LAN and the internet, to prevent against unauthorized access. Does the Windows firewall protect your computer sufficiently? What contribution does your router make and who needs additional security software? We are going to go into detail.

If you own a smartphone, a computer, a laptop, a car or any asset in general you would agree that there are some very basics you should at least know about your asset. Not only does this help you save money by fixing small basic issues that don’t need a professional technician or mechanic but it also helps you take better care of your asset for maximum durability and efficiency. The are some basic things you should just know which and you don’t need to be a professional to know them. You’ve learned how to take care of yourself in the real world. Your PC is no different. You’ll need to maintain it, protect it, and keep it fed with data at all times. In this piece we are going to lean more to PCs.

The Zimbabwean government has rolled out a simplified process for drivers to upgrade from the old blue paper licence to the new scannable plastic version, using WhatsApp as a primary communication tool. The Ministry of Transport has outlined a step-by-step guide for Zimbabwean drivers to make the switch, ensuring compliance with regional driving standards.

We live in a time where we hop between devices throughout the day, going from one screen to the next. The speed of innovation is faster than ever, and "older" devices can glitch, unable to handle software updates or mercury retrograde. When technology breaks, or you need to troubleshoot an issue, Google and YouTube are handy resources, but it can take a lot of time to find an answer. Now with artificial intelligence, you can get instant answers from a chatbot. No need to watch YouTube "how to" videos on double speed anymore. In this article, you'll learn how to use AI to troubleshoot any tech issue.

The question "Which professions will be replaced, and which will be created by artificial intelligence?" is not the right one when considering AI’s impact on the labor market. We are on the verge of a profound revolution, the consequences of which are still difficult to grasp. Some institutions have even rolled out programs to prepare students for a world undergoing one of the most significant transformations in history. The fact that AI still struggles with some tasks makes people feel superior to it, but the real question is not what AI can or cannot do today; it’s the pace at which it is learning and improving. If we imagined a human learning at the same speed, we would find it terrifying.

It’s no secret that your ISP can throttle your speed by prioritizing other users when the usage is in peak demand. We have seen this subtly done by Econet, Telone and Netone but to really understand this concept take a look a closer look at StarLink, they openly do it and they actually explain the concept explicitly in the data plans. Well even WiFi connections also do this kind of thing, that’s why you see sometimes your internet speed is insanely fast but sometimes it’s very slow but on the same plan. This prioritization is often given to subscribers paying more but what if i tell you that you can get more speed out of your current internet plan and equipment by optimizing your setup. So here’s how.

Mobile satellite connectivity enables a smartphones to establish a connection with a satellite network, providing communication in areas without cellular coverage similarly to what Space X is doing with StarLink but this time without the Kit as the middleman. With the introduction of the iPhone 14 series in 2022, Apple brought satellite communication to smartphones, allowing users to connect with emergency services via SOS messages even in areas without cellular coverage. Other smartphone brands, including Google and Samsung, followed, but the technology remained a niche feature available only in select regions and on a limited number of smartphone models but fast forward to 2025 it’s a changed game with it now calls and texts made available not just emergency SOS and more breakthroughs expected later this year. So how does this technology actually works.
