Trump doubtful as US spy chiefs to testify on Russian hacking

Top US spy chiefs will testify in Congress Thursday on alleged Russian interference in the US election as President-elect Donald Trump continued to question intelligence that Moscow was behind the hacking of Democratic party computers.

The American public could get a better idea of the strength of the evidence on the alleged hacking as the Senate Armed Services Committee holds a hearing led by strong Russia critic John McCain, who on Wednesday called Moscow’s actions to subvert the US presidential vote an “act of war.”

Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and National Security Agency Director Michael Rogers are due to testify amid a heated rift between Trump and the intelligence bodies he will rely upon for crucial advice when he become president on January 20.

It feels great to open the year with a goal – Iwobi

Super Eagles forward, Alex Iwobi, has expressed delight over his goal against Crystal Palace in Sunday’s English topflight encounter.

The Nigeria international is delighted to have helped Arsenal to beat the Eagles in the Emirates stadium.

Olivier Giroud opened scoring for the Gunners in the 17th minute with a superb back-heel kick, before the 20-year-old forward took the game beyond Palace in the 56th minute.

Iwobi told Arsenal website, “It was a great feeling. It was a bit unorthodox but a goal is a goal and I’m happy to start 2017 with a goal.

Trump says hackers can't be caught after a cyberattack — here's why that's wrong

Even though hackers responsible for the cyberattack on the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton's campaign weren't caught in the act, it doesn't mean they can't be identified as President-elect Donald Trump has asserted.

Michael Borohovski, a cybersecurity expert with experience working with the intelligence community and Chief Technology Officer of Tinfoil Security, says investigators have methods of uncovering the identity of attackers long after they're gone.

“It’s actually significantly harder to catch somebody in the act than it is to catch somebody after the fact,” Borohovski told Business Insider. “Unfortunately it’s not like in the movies where as soon as someone is attacking, big red alarms go off.”

In a Fox News interview last month, Trump cast doubt on the CIA's recent findings that Russia was involved in cyberattacks against the Democratic Party to help him win the election, calling it "ridiculous" and an excuse for the opposing party's loss.

Egypt official accused of corruption 'kills himself'

A top Egyptian government official has killed himself in jail after being arrested in connection with a corruption investigation, reports say.

Wael Shalaby was a former secretary general of Egypt's administrative courts system. He resigned on Saturday, a day before his arrest.

The public prosecutor said his arrest was part of an inquiry into accusations of officials receiving bribes.

A gag order on all media over the corruption case has now been issued.

Mr Shalaby's resignation came after a procurement manager at Egypt's State Council, the umbrella organisation for the country's administrative courts, was arrested.

Gamal al-Din al-Labban was charged with receiving bribes worth millions of Egyptian pounds.
