Hello.

Phones are the most common gateway for scams. Learn how to spot them. You get a text message saying your package couldn’t be delivered. It looks routine, you can see that your address is slightly off, and there’s a link to “reschedule delivery.” You’ve been expecting a parcel, so you tap it without much thought. Within seconds, a convincing courier site opens, asking for a small fee to redeliver. It’s only a few bucks, nothing suspicious. We have all been in situations like t

Nigeria’s August 2026 cyber threat figures point to a deeper issue than a big number. They show how sustained digital exposure is becoming a business risk that organisations can no longer treat as an isolated IT problem. Cybersecurity statistics can be difficult to interpret. A large number can sound alarming. A percentage increase can sound even more alarming. But behind every cyber threat statistic is a question that matters just as much as the number itself: What exactly i

A legitimate financial opportunity can still create an illegitimate digital risk. That distinction is becoming increasingly important as Nigerians participate in financial activities through websites, mobile applications, social media platforms, digital investment channels and other online services. The more attention an opportunity attracts, the more likely it is that people will search for information, click links, communicate with representatives, create accounts, submit p

A digital account can be more than a place where information is posted. For organisations, particularly public institutions, an official digital channel can function as an extension of the organisation itself. It can become a point of reference for journalists, citizens, partners, employees and other stakeholders looking for information they believe represents the institution. That is why the security of an official account matters beyond the account itself. On 29 August 2026

Security operations support without building everything yourself. Cybersecurity has become a business priority for many organizations1, but priority does not equal readiness. A company may have all the basics like endpoint protection, backups, firewalls, and email security in place, and still struggle. This is especially apparent at small and mid-sized organizations, whose generalist IT teams often support extended IT functions along with security at the same time. Not a gre

As AI adoption expands the attack surface and adds to the security workload, businesses need automation backed by experts The cyberthreat landscape has been evolving for years. But there’s a sense today that things are escalating more rapidly than before. That’s largely the result of AI. The technology is not only arming threat actors with the means to launch more sophisticated attacks at greater speed and scale than before. It is also providing them with a larger attack surf

LLM-based code scanners won’t help attackers build a nuclear weapon, but that refusal could work in their favor Malware developers have long adapted their code and tactics to the defenses and scrutiny that are likely to stand in their way. Using various evasion and anti-analysis methods, they routinely attempt to hinder code analysis or prevent their malware from revealing its true behavior while under inspection. Other tools – notably, EDR killers, documented extensively by

AI scams are now hyper-realistic. But there’s one simple way to see through them. AI voice scams are no longer as niche as they once were. The technology is both cheap and convincing: a worrying combination that has lowered the barrier to entry for would-be scammers. According to a Hiya report from March, one-in-four Americans say they’ve received a deepfake voice call in the past 12 months. A further quarter (24%) say they can’t tell the difference. The same study reveals th
