[kictanet] Sim card swap: How Farah Bashir lost Sh2.6m to fraudsters in hours

[David Indeje]

Dear Listers,

These cases are emerging at an alarming rate. Indeed, the Kenya Bankers
Association says consumer education will play a central role in addressing
emerging security challenges. The association cites cases of phishing
emails, and malware attacks, to have scaled up in tandem with the enhanced
uptake of internet and mobile transaction platforms.

“A study paper on human-centered cybersecurity: Kenyan Fintech sector,”
prepared by KICTANet, in collaboration with Trust4Cyber Flagship Deutsche
Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH,  says emerging
threats in Kenya are organized crime, exporting cybercriminals to the East
African region.  https://bit.ly/3vBc5SA
