So someone tried to hack me by taking advantage of my Pre-Seed round fund raising activities. If you’re a founder raising right now, watch this, it might save you the hassle. Fund Raising is a marathon, you’re hungry for leads, pitch-tired, and waiting for that one "yes." That’s exactly when you’re most vulnerable. I recently sat through a multi-day social engineering play by a "scout" that ended in a sophisticated attempt to compromise my entire work station. He told me, "I can’t guarantee you investment, but I can guarantee a call with investors." Every founder’s ears perk up at that 😅 I sent him @BitsaveProtocol's BizMarket deck. I explained our RWA yield aggregator, our $331B SME credit gap solution, and our traction in Africa. He reacted with just enough interest to keep me engaged, I knew his play but wanted to follow this through. After building rapport, he asked for us to take the conversation to.......teams, Microsoft teams 😅😅😅 Anyways I explained the details in the video, but their play was supposed to lead me to copy a code and paste it in my powershell 😒 The command used -Ep Bypass (ignore security) and -W Hidden (hide the window). Behind the Base64 encoding was a script designed to: 1. Reach out to a malicious domain (1digid dot icu). 2. Download a file called (sys dot ps1) into my Temp folder. 3. Execute it to scrape my browser cookies, Discord tokens, and private keys. 4. Delete itself to leave NO trace. I did a screen-recording of the breakdown and how I caught this in real-time. Also @paraficapital, these guys are impersonating you.

This fund raising journey has shown me a lot. It's not really about the deck, cause honestly the VCs don't know the market as well as you do. Execution is everything, you can have all the analysis on paper done, but the main question is "can this founder execute"? It's a lot about your pedigree and your network. What have you done before? Who knows what you've done before? And are they in their circle? That's how they decide if you can do what you're pitching on. My problem is, the circle. Every other thing is set, from execution to growth to market analysis and all. I just need the right circle to say "yeah, I know Karla, she's done this and that, she can do what she's saying she can do"

The same night @JustXpend_ai cracked their B2B model Meta disabled their WhatsApp Business account. Most startups built on third-party infrastructure fold under that. Xpend activated their backup web app within hours. @UgwuagbaBenard said it best: "Our system is not built on WhatsApp. WhatsApp is only an interface." That's the difference between a product and a feature. Xpend is a product. The infrastructure runs with or without Meta's permission. Put some respect on @SuperteamNG 's name. They’ve proven time and again that they support startups that know their sauce. Access your account right now at app.justxpend.ai ...same experience, no interruption. This is what resilience looks like when it's built in, not bolted on.

For the past few days i’ve been off X, we took a blow but we had backups. Friday we celebrated the first test of our b2b model that would make businesses accept stablecoins with zero friction. Same night Meta disabled our business account halting our services on WhatsApp. As much as this is a very discomforting situation for us, it also proved one thing we’ve always said “our system is not built on WhatsApp, and WhatsApp is only an interface we use”. The moment we noticed the situation, we instantly activated our contingency plans which is a back up webapp and a subsequent release of the app on both playstore and the AppStore. While we work to restore services on WhatsApp, please access your account instantly with no changes and also the WhatsApp feel and even better using the web app app.justxpend.ai. Login with your phone number with easy💙 I and the team sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this situation might have caused and is probably still causing you. While the team is working round the clock to ensure WhatsApp gets back and running, we still urge you to keep enjoying seamless transaction using the webapp. Also to every Founder out here building something amazing, ensure to build a back up plan for your business if you rely on third party infrastructure or services.

Also, Peter Obi is not a “lesser evil”. I am again begging us all to have moral clarity. The man who said if anyone finds N5 that he embezzled should come forward and he’d leave the race: That man is not a “lesser evil” I am begging you guys. The man who has donated more money to education and health from his own purse more than the CapEx for health by the government is not a “lesser evil”. The man who left no debt but actual surplus in the treasury of the state he governed is not a “lesser evil”. The man who has successfully without any corruption led as: Chairman of Fidelity Bank Plc Director of Fidelity Bank Plc Chairman of Next International Nigeria Ltd Chairman of Guardian Express Mortgage Bank Ltd Chairman of Future View Securities Ltd Chairman of Paymaster Nigeria Ltd Chairman of Chams Nigeria Plc Director of Chams Nigeria Plc Director of Data Corp Ltd Director of Card Centre Plc Independent Non-Executive Director of Nigeria LNG Ltd: Is not a “lesser evil”. The man who went to Egypt to study how to make power constant for you is not a lesser evil. The man who said he wouldn’t tax you unless he has prospered you isn’t a lesser evil. The “lesser evil” bifurcation came when we wanted to choose between a corrupt incompetent Buhari and a corrupt incompetent Atiku. I don’t really like politics Twitter. But I’m saying this so we all have moral clarity. I am begging us all. Please, let’s dump these contrarian virtue signaling. I am begging. We are up against vicious people. These are the people who have witnessed around 5 generals and colonels die and nothing is moving them. I am begging you all, please.

Today I interviewed a number of candidates for a full-stack developer role. Then it got to a particular candidate... Everything was fine at first, he gave a good introduction about himself and what he's done. Then I decided to ask a practical question: “Imagine you’re building an e-commerce app. A user adds items to the cart, but when they try to check out, the server crashes. Walk me through what you’d do to fix it.” After a short pause, he said:

I conducted interviews today from 8am UTC to 4pm UTC. WHAT A DAY!

@olanetsoft But with proper systems design and following SSDLC and tests, you can pretty much get things done right. The issue is people just jump into code prompts and security is always the last. So at the end, it’s a user problem not tool (cos that’s what an AI is)

AI can write your code. AI can't tell you if it's the right code. That's still your job.

“You generated over 1,000 megawatts in the 1960s, yet almost 60 years later you can’t generate 4,000. A state in Nigeria twice the size of Netherlands can’t feed themselves. That’s a failed Government” — Peter Obi
