Nigerian Banks Assure Customers as Global Cyberattacks Intensify

Nigerian Banks Assure Customers as Global Cyberattacks Intensify

Nigerian banks say their services remain operational and customer deposits are safe amid a global wave of cyberattacks affecting organisations across several sectors and countries. Industry sources say banks have activated incident-response measures and are working with regulators, law-enforcement agencies and cybersecurity partners to strengthen their defences. Analysts have reported a sharp rise in cyberattacks targeting financial institutions worldwide. Customers are advised to stay alert for fraudulent calls, texts and emails. Do not share passwords, PINs, one-time passwords, card details or BVNs with anyone. Report suspicious account activity immediately through your bank’s verified customer-care channels, app or branch.

Assurances are welcome, though saying deposits are safe should be matched by consistent communication about safeguards and response measures.

Customers can use strong unique passwords, enable transaction alerts, and avoid sharing OTPs while banks monitor the situation.
