🚨 SECURITY ALERT: Phishing email impersonating the British Blockchain Association A fraudulent email is circulating that appears to come from the BBA. The subject line is: "BIS Initiative: Invitation to Join the Global Scientific Committee" ⛔️This email is fraudulent. ❌ The BBA has no involvement in any "Evidentiary Blockchain Sandbox & Academy". We are not working with the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) on any such initiative, and we have not nominated anyone to a BIS committee. Fraudsters are increasingly impersonating trusted institutions in our sector. If in doubt, always double-check with us directly, via our official channels such as Linkedin messaging. #CyberSecurity #Phishing #FraudAwareness #Blockchain #BBA

🏛️ Institutional repositories play a vital role in research dissemination. They preserve scholarly work, support open access and help bring knowledge to audiences beyond academia: from policymakers and businesses to practitioners and the public. It is encouraging to see research published in The Journal of The British Blockchain Association (JBBA) available through the University of Johannesburg’s Institutional Repository. ▶️ One such paper, by Edzai Kademeteme (Ph.D IS) and Stella Bvuma explores how blockchain could improve integrity and transparency in procurement between small, medium and micro-enterprises (#SMEs) and #government. Their systematic literature review examines 12 articles, identifying themes including contract handling, data security, transaction processing and access to critical information. It provides a foundation for investigating how blockchain might support more transparent and accountable public procurement. ▶️ Read the paper in UJ’s repository: https://ujcontent.uj.ac.za/esploro/outputs/journalArticle/Using-blockchain-technology-to-improve-the/9933409707691?institution=27UOJ_INST #JBBA #Blockchain #Procurement
