Well germanys far right Political Party the alternative for germany or a. F. D. Is expecting big gains in 2 state elections on sunday one of those elections will be in saxony thats the state with the highest population density in eastern germany around 4000000 people live there and its also the region with eastern germanys strongest economy the big employer there is the car industry and the area around the state capital dresden is also home to multiple Technology Companies but far right violence is a problem and saxony incidents rose nearly 50 percent between 20172018 our correspondent kate brady sent us this report. Love stop on the campaign trail for germanys big tent parties in saxony and dress than the social democrats and unlike say the conservative c. D. U. Both currently in a coalition governing saxony but that could be about to change both the c. D. U. And the s. P. D. Are expected to suffer significant losses s. P. D. Lead candidate martin do attributes the losses to the upheaval in German Society especially since the 2 geminis united in 1993 americans on call were seeing a different kind of division in this country which its no longer only between poor and rich east and west men and women. There are other divisions emerging between fear and assurance hatred and trust between those at the top and those down below which is so to speak the no 2 lies in that we know we have to overcome these divisions that ministers by to move in but its largely these divisions which have driven so many voices in saxony to the far right alternative for Germany Party a.

D. U. Is still set to come out on top but continue in a coalition with the s. P. D. Is looking unlikely.

Well make a coalition with the right am i the way im already shaky government. Is preparing. Right now its time to face the music. On twitter was left scrambling on friday after hackers briefly took control of twitter c. E. O. Jack dorsey is account they tweeted racial slurs profanity and a bomb threat before the company regained control Porter William noah glue croft is here with more on that story i mean my 1st question how could jack dorsey of all people i mean the c. E. O. Of twitter how could he lose control of his account its not as difficult as you might think i mean these were the account was hacked yesterday afternoon twitter seemed to be well aware of it quite quickly they said within 30 minutes everything was back under control and then posted a tweet of their own a few hours later saying the phone number assessor the account was compromised due to a security oversight by the mobile provider theres a lot of an authorized person to compose and send tweets via text message from the phone number but that issue is now resolved at least resolved for the moment for this one account jack dorsey the hackers however still unknown there was some connection to a chat group within these hacks tweets but still unclear who is actually responsible but as the twitter themselves said referring to the mobile provider the likely cause was that he was the victim of a sim swap ok so you know if this can happen to the c. E. O. Of twitter then presumably a sin swap could happen to anyone i mean walk us through that happens to everyone happens to a lot of people not only on twitter the same swap is basically when somebody can convince your mobile provider that they need your phone number posing as you on a different sim card and if they can convince your mobile divider to swap the phone number to a sim card the games over and anything you use your phone number for is now into. Zeshan of those people i mean its happened to many many instagram accounts actually in addition a 220000000. 00 lawsuit against 18 to the major American Telecommunications company because people lost millions and millions of dollars in crypto currency using their phone number to secure their crypto accounts so this has been happening a lot and people dont really see their cell phone numbers as something to think about people think about Bank Accounts credit cards email addresses as things that need to be secure but not so much phone numbers but of course we all use our cell phone numbers now in a 2 step verification process which is what were told is a super secure way to keep our social media accounts our Bank Accounts and the like all safe but phone numbers were never really seen as something that would be a secure way of ident of identifying you just think about in the good old days phone numbers used to be publicly available in the phone book so phone companies are really prepared to find ways to make your cell phone number safe how can we make ourselves safe i mean i have a twitter account how can i protect it well to start verification is still the best way the experts say to keep all of your Online Presence safe but there are ways to keep your phone number that you used to stop verification safe obviously dont just be giving it out and putting it online anywhere experts also say you should call your mobile phone provider try to hack yourself call your mobile phone or survivor and see how much information theyll give you before they ask you for any passwords any kind of pin numbers anything to identify who you are because many mobile phone providers at the basic Customer Service level theyre not tech experts are not Security Experts theyre just Customer Service reps who are trying to do their job and provide Customer Service so call your mobile phone provider if theres no passwords on your account on your phone number get that put in to at least at extra layers that hackers have to get through before they can get to your phone number ok hack yourself interesting advise there like that really was a loop dropped thank you very much.
