The Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr. Isa Pantami, has urged Nigerians to be extra-cautious and reinforce security measures while interacting online, especially when banking online.

According to the Minister, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly transformed how we interact as individuals.

“In particular, there has been an appreciable migration of several meetings, lectures and other form of interactions to online platforms. The implicit requirement of social distancing has increased the adoption of online platforms and e-payment systems. This, no doubt, is a positive development that will support our implementation of the National Digital Economy Policy and Strategy (NDEPS) for a Digital Nigeria.”

He said, “Our cybersecurity teams have intercepted following cases, amongst others:

i.Phishing attacks aimed at infecting systems or extracting sensitive information;
