Cybercrime: Microsoft warns Nigerian companies on menacing phishing threat vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Technology Company, Microsoft, has raised the alarm over the damaging effects of cybersecurity threat called phishing, warning Nigerian companies and individuals to guard against it.Phishing is a cyber attack method which a fraudulent cybercriminal uses to obtain sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details from unsuspecting online users, disguising as a trustworthy entity.
“While this may indicate progress in blocking ransomware attacks against organisations, it also draws our attention to new avenues now being identified for attacks. These new avenues are very easily ignored by organisations but are a recognisable ‘pathway’ for penetration.” He said: “By working closely with our partners, governments, industry, and the security ecosystem our aim is to ensure consumers and businesses can trust the technology they make use of – not viewing these solutions as barriers to technology adoption.”
