CBN Warns Nigerians Against Phishing Scams After Recent CAC Hack

CBN Warns Nigerians Against Phishing Scams After Recent CAC Hack

The Central Bank of Nigeria has alerted the public to a surge in phishing attempts targeting personal bank accounts. Fraudsters are sending fake emails and messages that claim to come from the CBN, urging recipients to click links or provide sensitive information. The apex bank advises everyone to verify any communication through official CBN channels and reputable media outlets. Members of the public should avoid clicking on suspicious links or sharing personal data on unverified sites. CBN is strengthening its cybersecurity measures in collaboration with relevant agencies. Nigerians are urged to report any suspected fraudulent email, message, or website to law enforcement.

Yes o! I dey always double-check the sender domain, inspect headers and confirm with CBN before clicking link.

I get the focus on email verification, but it's safer to confirm with official CBN channels rather than only inspecting sender details.

It's odd that fraudsters are mimicking CBN so convincingly, maybe our email security really needs a serious upgrade first.

Warning is fine, but shouldn't CBN upgrade its own anti-phishing measures instead of just telling citizens to stay alert?

Always hover over sender addresses, install email filters, and report suspicious messages directly to your bank's fraud department immediately.
