The National Cybersecurity Centre has issued a warning about a new phishing scam targeting mobile money users. This scam aims to steal personal financial information.
The fraudsters are reportedly using deceptive messages to trick their victims. These messages are designed to look like they come from legitimate sources.
The main goal of this scam is to obtain users' M-Pesa Personal Identification Numbers PINs. This information is crucial for accessing and controlling mobile money accounts.
The Cybersecurity Centre is urging all mobile money users to be very careful. They should not share their PINs or other sensitive details in response to unsolicited messages.
Users are advised to verify the identity of anyone asking for their mobile money details. Always ensure messages asking for personal information are from a trusted source.
This warning highlights the growing threat of cyber fraud in mobile money transactions. The Cybersecurity Centre is working to protect users from such criminal activities.
