Pete ] a day ago [ Thank you for your reply dear Brother. Israel today is a nation, that is a miracle in itself. Yes in this fallen world you must have an Army and a will to survive. God is not yet ready to put hands on this world, When He does the Kingdoms of the World will be dissolved. There is further reason for us to give weight to Israel in that they are more open, more honest, more obedient to God’s commandments than the nations around them. They are not yet repentant. But America and Europe are in a much sadder state having largely abandoned the Divine principles and guidance for life to pursue academic humanistic political agendas themselves. Grazie per la risposta, caro fratello. Israele oggi è una nazione, è un miracolo in sé. Sì, in questo mondo caduto devi avere un esercito e una volontà per sopravvivere. Dio non è ancora pronto a mettere le mani su questo mondo, quando Egli farà i regni del mondo sarà dissolto. Ci sono ulteriori motivi per noi per dare peso a Israele in quanto sono più aperti, più onesti, più obbedienti ai comandamenti di Dio rispetto alle nazioni che li circondano. Non sono ancora pentiti. Ma l’America e l’Europa sono in uno stato molto più triste avendo in gran parte abbandonato i principi divini e la guida per la vita per perseguire gli stessi programmi politici umanistici accademici.

Report: Fake Android Apps Were Used to Monitor Iranian Protesters vpnMentor has teamed up with cybersecurity firm ClearSky to release this report.
Following the protests that broke out in December 2017, the Iranian government cracked down on internet usage and blocked popular social media sites like Twitter and Telegram.
In response, many Iranians began to use to VPNs in order to bypass these restrictions and access censored sites and apps.
On January 6, while monitoring cyberspace activity in Iran, ClearSky identified complaints from citizens about suspicious text messages that encouraged them to download a VPN in order to easily connect to Telegram.
ClearSky conducted an investigation that revealed malicious Android software called Ir.ops.breacker, which imitated the popular VPN app, Psiphon.
The following is a close look at how this malware impersonates Psiphon and spreads.
How the Virus Operates
Targeted users receive the following text message:[translation of message in Farsi: Hello – download this VPN in order to easily connect to Telegram]
This text promises users that if they download this VPN, they can unblock Telegram. To make it look like a safe URL, the attackers use the Iranian qqt address shortcut (the equivalent of bit.ly service) to disguise the original address, which is serverclient12[.]tk/dlvpn/vpn[.]apk
When users arrive to this domain, an apk called psiphon6 – which bares the official Psiphon logo – automatically downloads.
When the user installs this fake VPN, the app asks for permission to access the user’s phone.
Below is the list of permissions requested by the app.
The app also requests access to the user’s contact list. In our investigation, VirusTotal, a service that combines all major antivirus software, indicated that the requested permission to send text messages was suspicious.
This permission allows the malware to send hidden text messages to the user’s contacts without the user’s knowledge. This is how the attacker spreads the malware.
When the user attempts to open the app, he is requested to connect to the internet. He then receives an error message and is requested to connect again. After receiving another (fake) error message, a new message appears notifying the user that the app didn’t install correctly, and he needs to reinstall it from the Google Play Store.
A message then appears saying the app was deleted from the device. However, in reality, the app is still there and running in the background.
How We Traced the Malware
Once the malware is installed, it uses two push alert services to move commands from the C&C server under the HamzadServer[.net] domain to the servers ronash[.]pushe[.]Ir and onesignal[.]com.
When we scanned the apk file on VirusTotal, only six antivirus services flagged it. (A recent rescan showed that now 23 engines detect it as a virus.)
This means that even if you have antivirus software installed on your phone, it most likely won’t classify the file as malicious. Furthermore, we believe there are other malwares working in a similar manner that have yet to be flagged by antivirus software.
Specifically, we found that the php page http://elicharge%5B.%5D/Ir/mp20ibest%5B.%5Dphp is suspicious. This php page was also flagged as being present in other malware with the same characteristics, including the malware that masquerades as Android TV (using the logo stolen from a TV app called TocaTV, which was discontinued).
As you can see, when we scanned this file, only Avira identified it as a virus.
When we traced the HamzadServer.net domain, we saw that the main domain where the malicious applications were planted is serverclient12.tk
This domain is linked to the IP address 94.130.144.253, as are several other domains, all of which are for sale, except namazhe[.]Net
Using Whois we traced the email of the person who registered the domain name – apd_1379@yahoo.com.
We found five more domains associated with this email address, including elipay[.]net and hamzad[.]net (which is mostly likely connected to the server hamzadserver[.]net).
According to the Whois data, the person who registered the domain is linked to the email address rilufeapd@gmail.com which, like the previous address, contains the term APD.
An additional domain was opened by the email address apd_1379@yahoo.com.
We don’t know exactly who is sending out these text messages. However, we do know that this malware is very sophisticated. Whether it’s government operated or not, it traces Iranians’ mobile activities without permission and has already spread virally throughout the country.
Below is a Maltego graph showing the connections between the hamzadserver central server and the various malware:
To Summarize
The target audience of this attack are users who care about their privacy and want to use the encrypted messaging service Telegram. Ironically, however, the fake VPN app actually spies on their activities, and spreads to their contacts without their knowledge.
Since governments all over the world are actively recording and tracking citizens who legally protest, it is advisable to take security measures and be wary of messages that suggest to install apps, even if the name of the app is familiar and the message comes from a known contact.
About ClearSky and vpnMentor
Clearsky – Over the past several years Clearsky Security has been monitoring the cyber activity of threat groups in the Middle East, including Iranian actors. In recent months we identified an increase of Iranian social engineering campaigns. Of note, in December we exposed a campaign by the Charming Kitten group, which created a fake western news agency called “Britishnews,” and in February we exposed an Iranian disinformation campaign targeting western media outlets such as the BBC.

The pastor of a church on Tanzania’s semi-autonomous Zanzibar Island was preaching earlier this month when a plainclothes police officer and local officials strode into the church service. Is this email not displaying correctly?
Authorities in Zanzibar, Tanzania Close Down Church Officials stop worship service as crackdown continues. By Our East Africa Correspondent
NAIROBI, Kenya, May 24, 2018 (Morning Star News) – The pastor of a church on Tanzania’s semi-autonomous Zanzibar Island was preaching earlier this month when a plainclothes police officer and local officials strode into the church service.
“One of the police officers in civilian clothes walked through the church’s door, stepped up to the podium and then grabbed the bishop by the arm,” a church member told Morning Star News. “The bishop pleaded with him to allow him finish the preaching.”
The congregation of the Pentecostal Evangelistic Fellowship of Africa (PEFA) church in Kisauni, near the Zanzibar City airport, was gripped with fear that day (May 6) as the pulpit microphone picked up Bishop Daniel Kwileba Kwiyeya’s plea. The regional and local district commissioners ordered him to stop the worship service as the officer dragged him into a police car, said the church member, unidentified for security reasons.
“Why are you arresting my father without giving us the reasons for his arrest?” the pastor’s daughter cried. “This is very inhumane.”
The local district commissioner slapped her and pushed her into the police vehicle, the source said.
Other church members tried to intervene, in vain. Bishop Kwiyeya and his daughter were taken to the police station in Mazizini. The 160-member congregation went back into their church building and began praying for them.
“No one can take away our faith in Jesus Christ – Jesus is always with us and is ready to help us,” a church elder told them.
Congregation members later went to the police station, where the chief officer told them there were no charges against the pastor and his daughter, and they were released later that day.
The incident followed an order to close the church after Muslim sheikhs from a nearby mosque complained that services on Sundays and weeknights were too loud – though the congregation does not use loudspeakers as the neighboring mosque does.
“We have the right to worship God just like our brothers the Muslims who worship God using loudspeakers, but no one terms their worship a nuisance,” the church member told Morning Star News. “We as the church are of the opinion that the order to close the church is tainted with favoritism and unconstitutional.”
On April 26, the regional and local district commissioners met with Muslim leaders on the church premises – without inviting the church leaders – and discussed the allegations that the church was becoming a nuisance to the community due to loud noise. The regional district commissioner then ordered the church be closed.
The church did not comply with the order since leaders had not been given the opportunity to defend themselves, the source said. The church instead filed an objection with the regional district commissioner.
“The church could have been given a hearing before such radical decision of closing the church was taken,” he said. “This is quite unfair and contrary to the provision of the constitutional rights of freedom of worship of the United Republic of Tanzania.”
Church members say the closure was a calculated move to weaken Christianity and do away with it in Zanzibar, off the coast of Tanzania, he said.
“The worship by the church should be respected as it is guaranteed by the constitution of Tanzania,” the church member said.
Area Muslims did not complain about noise at the church until it completed a worship building with a seating capacity of 500 people in February, he said. Previously church members worshipped in a tent.
In March, authorities closed another church in Zanzibar when police pulled down the temporary structure of 50 iron sheets of the Free Pentecost Church of Tanzania in Kiwengwa, sources said. The congregation has yet to find another worship place.
On Jan. 7, local government officials in Zanzibar Town gave no prior warning to church leaders before a bulldozer arrived and razed the building of Zanzibar Pentecostal Church of Jesus to make way for a state university.
