The National Cybersecurity Centre has issued a warning regarding a rise in phishing scams. These are deceptive attempts to trick people into giving up personal information.
Citizens are advised to be very careful about emails and messages they receive, especially if they seem to come from unknown sources.
These scams often ask for sensitive details like passwords, bank account numbers, or mobile money Personal Identification Numbers PINs.
The Cybersecurity Centre recommends that people do not click on suspicious links or reply to messages that appear unusual.
Always verify the identity of the sender before sharing any personal data. Official communication will typically not ask for such details via unsolicited messages.
The center encourages anyone who suspects they have been targeted by a phishing scam to report it immediately.
This warning aims to protect Ghanaians from potential financial loss and identity theft.
Staying informed and cautious is key to staying safe online.
