Journalists have been cautioned about reporting on cybercrime. Alex Awere-Kyere, Senior Manager for Critical Information Infrastructure at the Cyber Security Authority, urged caution.
He advised against publishing unverified cybercrime claims. He also warned about reporting unresolved computer system vulnerabilities.
These actions could potentially help criminals access systems. Mr. Awere-Kyere made these remarks during a recent address.
He highlighted the important role of the media in educating the public about cyber threats. However, this must be balanced with security concerns.
The Cyber Security Authority is working to protect Ghana's digital infrastructure.
The authority encourages responsible reporting by the media.
