🧵The latest Threat Landscape Update from @RelativityHQ’s Calder7 security team details a particularly concerning new trend in #ransomware, which combines Ransomware-as-a-Service (RAAS) with employee-led Insider Threats. #cybersecurity #infosec #hackers #SundayReads (1/7)
RAAS has been around since early 2020 and has quickly become the leading vector for deploying #ransomware. The newest iteration of it is enticing employees to intentionally deploy #ransomware w/i their own org. A particularly nasty case of insider threat (2/7)
Reported by @briankrebs, threat actors trying this technique are using the #Demonware strain and are targeting networks of interest in the U.S., Canada, Australia, U.K., and for RDP, VPN, - corporate email access specifically (3/7)

It's #EyalaReads time! Hope you're ready for your weekly recommendations of inspiring (and sometimes infuriating) pieces of writing about #Feminism, #WomensRights & #Africa. Definitely my favorite way of ending the week!
#SundayReads
Combating the misuse of tradition to justify gender-based violence was my entry point into #feminist work. Reading this @dwnews piece on womxn who are called witches & persecuted for it reminded me of why this will always be a priority of mine.

Has Rama Salla Dieng's "Talking back" series really come to an end? I loved every interview. This last one with @YaraSallam, a #feminist from #Egypt, is shorter but packed with great insights (and some awesome reading recommendations). Read it!

Hello Friends! Somehow Sunday has come again to close one of these feel-long-but-go-in-a-flash weeks 2020 has specialized in. So here I am with my list of #recommendedreads about #Africa #WomensRights & #Feminism, and an exciting announcement!
#EyalaReads #SundayReads
If you know (or just follow) me you will know that #feminist sisterhood is the core of what I am about. So of course @TheJamaJack's ode to the sisters who nurture her is at the top of this reading list. Thank you sis for sharing!

bit.ly/2Bx2wKV #EyalaReads
@TheJamaJack piece reminded me of what Dr. Celeste Henery wrote in @HistoryWO about radical friendships: "a type of friendship, driven by an uncertain but no less wondrous attempt to become more of ourselves. I would call it sacred." On point.

Good morning Eyala family ☀️ and welcome back to #EyalaReads, your Sunday selection of recommended reads about #Feminism #WomensRights and #Africa.

#SundayReads
As #Afrifem we often say that "we stand on the shoulders of giants". How much do we actually know about our #feminist foremothers? The question came as I read @EverjoiceWin's moving obituary for Mabel Moyo. May she rest in power.

#EyalaReads
To be young, gifted, Black and #feminist in #Russia... Whew. Read about Maria Magdalena Tunkara, a 22-year-old Russian-Malian woman who wont't apologize for telling the truth about #racism in her country. A powerhouse.

It's the 1st Sunday of the 2nd half of the mess of a year that is 2020! Not something I would've ever thought to celebrate but in 2020 we to snatch joy wherever we can.

So let's celebrate by doing our #EyalaReads thing, shall we? Reads about #WomensRights #Africa #Feminism 👇🏾
"I have probably been thinking about dead black people more than the police and politicians whose decisions kill them."

This essay by @Okwonga in @BylineTimes did things to my heart I don't have words to explain. Read it.

Historians' erasure of women's contributions to African independence struggles is beyond infuriating.

Grateful for @AnnetteJosephG's wonderful tribute to anti-colonial activist Andrée Blouin who fought for Congolese independence: bit.ly/2ZSjGen

My plan with the Sunday #EyalaReads was always to spread joy, but this week, I can't do it. This Black woman is carrying too much hurt around, and my selection of #recommendedreads shows it. Sharing them anyway after a long debate with myself though. #SundayReads
Being sad and angry and afraid to put all of it in words, I am in awe of the Black women who have done so. That's what today's #EyalaReads is all about.

So thank you @_TARYNitUP for your homage to Oluwatoyin Salau. She deserved so much better indeed.

If I had the courage to write about why everything feels so heavy these days, it would read a lot like what @LadyGodiva83 wrote in @TheCut (only less beautifully crafted). Grateful for the hopeful offering she ends with👇🏾

It's been a long, exhausting week, with more painful conversations than most of us had the bandwith to deal with. But we made it to another Sunday, so it's time for #EyalaReads! I'm recommending some articles I read this week about #WomensRights #Feminism & #Africa.
#SundayReads
I'm fascinated by blindspots, so I've been wondering: who are we (not) talking about when we chant #BlackLivesMatter? Iconic transgender activist @immissmajor told @blkwomenradical why we need to be inclusive of the Black trans community.

The impact of the #COVID19 pandemic is getting more worrying every day. This @TheAtlantic report shows that the supplies of sexual health products are running low and my brain hurts as I imagine the consequences for #WomensRights...

Hello fam! Time for me to lift myself from a few weeks of hurt, anger and heartbreak, and follow the advice a brilliant #Afrifem gave me: "Don't let them pull you in their hole." So I'm back with recommended reads about #Africa, #WomensRights & #Feminism

#EyalaReads #SundayReads
First let me flag a few important news stories that may have missed due to the global context:

#WeAreTired. Tired of being raped and killed. I stand in solidarity with Nigerian feminists demanding #JusticeForUwa and #JusticeForTina. Enough

bit.ly/3h1znrd

#EyalaReads
Don't ignore this: in #Cameroon journalist Samuel Wazizi was arbitrarily arrested last year and for 300 DAYS his family & lawyers did not hear from him. Now we find out he was murdered in prison. We demand #JusticeForWazizi. Follow @KahWalla for more info.

I'm grateful to @Asmaaouu for curating a great list of non #COVID19 related articles and op-eds by African #feminist writers and activists. A welcome breath of fresh air.

It's time for #EyalaReads, the weekly ritual that gives you #RecommendedRead articles about #Feminism, #WomensRights & #Africa (and that gives me a reason to remember and care what day of the week it is).

Grab a drink, grab a seat, it's reading time!
#SundayReads
My favorite: I fangirled, learned and laughed a lot while reading this interview of @tiffmugo, is a co-founder of @HOLAAfrica (one of the best #Afrifem platforms out there).

Part of @SaalaJeng's excellent "Talking back" series on @africasacountry.

If you work/ are interested in the international development sector, read @ThatBoyKhalifax's critique of the (nonexistent) role of NGOs in the #COVID19 response in #Tanzania. We must do better.

It's that time of the week again! The time when I catch up with dozens of articles I've bookmarked all week, and share my favs with you all. As usual, it's all about #Feminism
#WomensRights & #Africa.

Grab a drink and a comfy seat. We're doing this!
#EyalaReads #SundayReads
What does #StayAtHome mean when home is where you are most oppressed? @africasacountry shares the perspective of LGBTQI people in #Senegal where some leaders speak of #COVID19 as divine punishment of same-sex love. Terrifying.

bit.ly/2zTaQna
#EyalaReads #SundayReads
Another source of concern: how world leaders are misusing #COVID19 response measures to restrict their citizen's human rights, including gender justice. Interesting overview by @LatanyaFrett of @GlobalFundWomen in @5050oD

Happy Sunday beautiful souls! I hope you're all keeping safe and sane. I'm back with #EyalaReads, your weekly list of recommended articles about #WomensRights #feminism & #Africa.

Being in #lockdown with 2 small children has me facing my conflicted relation with parenting. I guess that's why I was so drawn to this piece @SaalaJeng that weaves the personal & the political. Merci Rama!

Speaking of #ParentingInLockdown, the voices of American single mothers in this @NewYorker article stirred my soul in ways I don't yet have the words to describe. Read it.

Today marks the end of my 5th week in #lockdown and this drawing I saw on Instagram (at HowDoYouAdult) is an exact depiction of my current state. So, just a heads-up: today's #SundayReads thread will be short! But as always, great reads about #women #feminism & #Africa. Enjoy! Image
My favorite: @samirasawlani's piece about her younger sister Kaz, a lovely baby girl with dimples turned health worker, who now works tirelessly to save her #COVID19 patients. I wept the whole time.

It's time for #EyalaReads: your weekly selection of great articles about #Africa, #feminism & #WomensRights. With an unapologetic focus on African women writers (and now a deliberately avoidance of stress-inducing content about #Covid_19). Ready?

#SundayReads
As you might have noticed, nothing gives me more joy than to celebrate the badassery of a #feminist sister. That's what Eyala is all about. So let me start with this @nytimes profile of Ugandan @drstellanyanzi. She is epic.

Also can this virus go away already? I need to go to Abidjan to meet @DroEdwige, visit her brand new #feminist library @1949books! In the meantime, read more about her vision in this interview with @brittlepaper.

Hello all! I hope you are all keeping safe and sane in these uncertain #COVID19 times.

Hard to keep track of the days at the moment but take my word for it: it's #EyalaReads time. Your #SundayReads selection of articles about #WomensRights #Africa #Feminism is ready 👇🏾
My favorite: Notes on Lockdown by South African #feminist writer @Sisonkemsimang. The way she weaves together the different layers of her concerns really moved my heart, brain and soul. Read it!

#EyalaReads #SundayReads #COVID19
@OhTimehin explores why social distancing, while a logical response to #COVID19, is deeply out of touch with the realities of how people live and survive in #Nigeria and all over #Africa. I'm hoping for a part 2!

Hello! I hope you are staying safe and sane in these surreal times. The past 2 weeks have been incredibly stressful, but somehow I've found myself breathing and reading again today. So I'm back with a few #SundayReads recommendations (not all #COVIDー19 I promise!)

#EyalaReads
"If patriarchy were a sound, it would be the sound of machines. The screeching, shrilling, droning, drilling, alarming, shooting, banging, beeping."

I read on Sundays and so should you.

Here are some #SundayRead recommendations on #feminism, #WomensRights & #Africa, with an unapologetic bias for pieces by #Afrifem writers.

(Now using #EyalaReads hashtag 'coz I can't find my own damn tweets!)
My favorite: @Afrowomanist's tribute to Toni Morrison moved me to tears. I could explain why, but I'm still ugly-crying so you just go read for yourself okay? It's on @AfriFeminists.

Every African #feminist who's shared their journey with me has spoken of their relationship with their mother. Is that why @NanaYBrantuo's beautiful piece stole my heart? Or is it because I too have been called "too much" so often?

Sundays are for #SundayRead! Sharing links to pieces about #feminism, women's rights and women's lives that resonated with me this week.
In our #feminist/#globaldev jargon, "women's empowerment" is a phrase that makes me go 🤔😤😡🤬. @FrancoiseGirard breaks down the need for political empowerment and how philanthropy can help make it a reality. Thorough & insightful.

A movement, not a moment: that's what it'll take for #SexForGrades to end. Amazing to see a group of African #feminists come together with a strong statement - including a useful list of resources. Thank you

If you know @Nanjala1 please tell her I'm in awe of her brain and her writing. In this piece for @ForeignAffairs she breaks down how modern politics have betrayed the very notion of asylum - and how our silence makes us complicit. Brilliant.

Hello Twitter fam'! Eyala's #SundayReads are back after a break. (I wish I could tell you I had a restful one, but I'd be lying. It was work-work-work-work and whatever else Rihanna sang). Scroll down for a selection of articles that resonated with me over the past few weeks 👇🏾
"I poured my human self into it—my Nigerian woman into it.": @BBCAfrica journalist @kikimordi spoke with @OkayAfrica about what it felt like to do the work tjat uncovered the #SexForGrades scandal. A must-read.

Happy Sunday! I came to do my weekly #SundayReads roundup but truth is, I've obsessively read #ToniMorrison tributes, and since @wellreadblkgirl has already done a beautiful job of collecting them, I'll just share that. (Thanks @EverjoiceWin for flagging)

bit.ly/2GWRjCL
All the #ToniMorrison tributes have not just moved me; they've got me wondering why we tend to celebrate our icons only when they're no longer here to feel our love. Looking forward, I'll be celebrating my #Afrifem sheroes on Eyala while they're still alive and well.
But for now, I'm using a much-needed family vacation as a chance to take a break from social media. I hear it's called a #digitaldetox. Or #selfcare 🤷🏾‍♀️

I'm hoping to rest and reflect, but I'll mostly be fuming over the SCAM that is family vacation for mothers...

My #SundayMorning ritual: getting up when the family is still asleep (or hiding from them if I do oversleep) and catching up on a week's worth of articles, blog posts, etc. And now: sharing a little selection with you all!
Let's do this.

In Africa (and elsewhere), the relationship between international NGOs and women's rights organizations can be toxic. Thank you @MSalimu for breaking down why. Time for INGOs to engage with local groups "as counterparts, not spare parts".

Some segments from the interesting 'Men & Mysteries of Wall Street' by the eloquent J.K. Medbery published in 1870. It holds many good insights as well as being a reminder of how little things changes in the affairs of mankind, especially in the financial sphere. #SundayReads
