Ese Walter Ark, wife of Cool Fm OAP Benny Ark shot into public consciousness when, in 2013, she made public her alleged sexual relationship with married COZA Pastor, Biodun Fatoyinbo. Before the confession, she penned a heartfelt public letter to Jesus, thanking Him for giving her the grace to forgive. Part of the note read: "Today I say thank you. Thank you for staying with me like you said you would. Thank you for your Spirit that leads and guides me into all truth and continues to lead me even when I insist on holding on to a lie.

'security' loophole found in Wireless mouse

H ackers could gain access to home and cor­porate networks via security flaws in wireless mice, a research has suggested. Weaknesses in the way mice swapped data with computers left them vulnerable, said se­curity firm Bastille Networks. Attackers could spoof poorly protected signals letting them use PCs as if they were sitting in front of them, it said. Information about the loop­holes have been passed to the makers of vulnerable mice, some of who are creating up­dates to make the mice more secure. The radio signals sent by many wireless mice to a “don­gle” plugged in to a computer were often unencrypted, said Marc Newlin and Balint See­ber, from Bastille, who carried out the research. “That makes it possible for the attacker to send unencrypt­ed traffic to the dongle pre­tending to be a keyboard and have it result as keystrokes on your computer,” Mr Newlin said. By contrast, they said, sig­nals sent by wireless keyboards were scrambled to stop attack­ers eavesdropping on or...
