phishing, smishing y pharming.
Una de las advertencias importantes que hace el estudio tiene que ver con los enlaces maliciosos que, dice el Tanque de Análisis, “siguen siendo el principal vector de infección utilizado por los cibercriminales para la difusión de códigos dañinos que explotan las vulnerabilidades de sistemas operativos y aplicaciones desactualizadas o con fallas de seguridad”.
La tercera modalidad que más incrementó fue el
Acceso Abusivo a Sistema Informático y es una tendencia que está asociada a las primeras fases de un ciberataque exitoso. Los cibercriminales y los intrusos informáticos “necesitan acceder a través de puertas traseras, escritorio remotos o robo de credenciales, hacia los equipos y servidores a afectar, haciendo uso de cuentas con accesos privilegiados o altos niveles dentro de los roles de administración de un sistema”.
The government has challenged Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to participate in the country’s energy diversification agenda.
Assistant Energy Director at the Ministry of Energy Mafayo Ziba said there is an urgent need for NGOs to get involved in the promotion, development and provision of renewable energy, as an alternative source of power.
Addressing over twenty NGOs drawn from across the country, during a training workshop, Mr Ziba said the government is spearheading the involvement of NGOs promoting renewable energy solutions, in order to diversify the country’s electricity generation mix.
ZANIS reports that Mr Ziba said the government sourced 40 million pounds from the European Union under the four year Increased Access to Electricity and Renewable Energy Production (IAEREP) project, towards supporting efforts to improve access to electricity in rural areas and promote the development of renewable energy solutions in Zambia.

Overview
Over the past decade, attempts to address the overdose crisis in the U.S. have resulted in more restrictive opioid prescribing policies which, because they have reduced the overall availability of prescription opioids, have inadvertently led to a surge in the use of illicit drugs such as heroin.
Because these illicit opioids are often injected, they’re associated with higher rates of overdose than prescription painkillers, and, when unsterile injection equipment is used or shared, people are at risk of getting a serious infection or transmitting disease.
1 As of March 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention determined that 44 states; Washington, D.C.; one tribal nation; and one territory were experiencing or at risk of an acute hepatitis C virus (HCV) or HIV outbreak due to injection drug use.

IAEREP programme in Zambia to benefit from close to US$28m subsidy
Modified date:
The Increased Access to Electricity and Renewable Energy Production IAEREP programme in Zambia, which aims at increasing access to clean, reliable, and affordable energy through the promotion of the use of renewable energy (RE) and energy efficiency (EE) technologies, is set to benefit from a close to US$28m subsidies provided to the Southern Africa country by the European Union.
According to the European Development Fund (EDF) country office in Zambia, “the funds will help stimulate the emergence of sustainable business models for energy services to promote the use of renewable energy and energy efficiency at the national level and encourage the private sector to participate in the rural electrification programme.”
