The vulnerability - first reported by the Financial Times, and fixed in the latest WhatsApp update - allowed hackers to insert malicious software on phones by calling the target using the app, which is used by 1.5 billion people around the world.

Many fans were busy recoiling from the disappointment of the events that transpired in the fifth episode of the eight season of GOT. Some others were caught up in the excitement of the fire that Daenerys rained down on King's Landing.  The eagle-eyed fans were left nothing short of frustrated at having to spot the guffaw that the character of Jaime Lannister magically had his formerly chopped off hand back. In case you forgot, he lost that hand in season three after pulling a "Do you even know who I am?" to save Brienne of Tarth from a group of soldiers. However, as bricks rained down and the Lannister lovers of Jamie and Cersei were about to meet their death, the scene was blessed with an editing blunder, Jamie was sporting his cut off hand! Does Somebody praise the Lord of Lights? Sadly, the Lord of Lights can't take credit for this miracle because this is a very yikes mistake. Who would have thought that the Starbucks cameo appearance won't be the

Students and workers of the Kogi State University (KSU) have been directed to dress decently. The directive is from  the management and a task force has been set up to implement the instruction to arrest anyone dressed indecently.  Irked by the high number of students wearing provocative outfits, especially female students, in the school, the institution has come out with a dress code.
