URGENT ADVISORY | Nigeria Cybersecurity Alert Nigeria is experiencing a wave of cyberattacks, and the shocking part? Most of them could have been prevented. Digital Encode Limited (@DigitalEncode ) has issued an urgent advisory after a spike in breaches hitting banks, fintechs, government agencies, and payment service providers across the country. The verdict from Prof. Obadare Adewale Peter (@ObadareAdewale ), Chief Visionary Officer of Digital Encode? Most of the issues are not typically zero-day vulnerabilities. Instead, they often arise from basic weaknesses in configuration, deployment practices, or poor credential management, all of which can be addressed using existing operational controls. Here's what attackers are commonly exploiting: Publicly accessible cloud storage that allows anonymous access| API keys and passwords hardcoded into apps | Credentials leaked in code repositories | Dev environments exposed in production | Uncontrolled use of Third-Party Hosting platforms | Weak authentication and poor access controls These aren't zero-day exploits. They're basic hygiene failures, and they're widespread. What organisations need to do NOW: Audit all internet-facing assets | Revoke and rotate exposed credentials immediately | Review access logs for prior exploitation | Fix misconfigurations and verify the fixes | Strengthen monitoring and threat detection "Proactive security hygiene, not reactive response, will determine resilience in Nigeria's evolving threat landscape," says Prof. Obadare The doors are often left open. The question is: will you close yours before someone walks in?.

We’re halfway through 2025. It’s a little surreal, isn’t it? But here we are, and it’s the perfect moment to take a step back and reflect. As we hit the midpoint of 2025, June offers the perfect opportunity to take stock, not just of goals and deliverables, but of how we’re managing risk, responsibility, and resilience in the face of growing cyber threats. Whether you're an individual professional or leading an organization, one truth remains clear: Information security is everyone's responsibility. So here are a few key questions worth asking this time of the year: For individuals; Have I completed any security awareness training this year? Am I using strong, unique passwords and enabling MFA? Can I recognize phishing or social engineering attempts? For organizations; Have we tested our incident response or disaster recovery plans lately? Are employee access levels still aligned with their roles? Do we have visibility into third-party risks and regulatory updates (e.g. NDPA, GDPR, ISO 27001)? This mid-year moment isn't just about ticking boxes. It’s about building a culture of security, where both people and systems are prepared, aware, and resilient. Let June be your reminder that cybersecurity isn’t a department, it’s a shared mindset. Here’s to stronger security, across every level, in the second half of the year. #Cybersecurity #June #InformationSecurity #DigitalEncode

Just like that, we're in the month of May. A fresh chapter. 31 brand new opportunities to grow, to try again, to get it right. A chance to renew your goals. A chance to rekindle hope. And perhaps, finally see the fruits of your effort. Who doesn't love new beginnings? That’s exactly what this month offers. As you chase your goals with tenacity and grit, make sure your security posture is just as resilient. You've heard it before: 1. Use strong passwords 2. Think twice before clicking that link 3. Don’t get phished 4. Guard against social engineering Because if malicious actors are relentless, your security should be even more relentless. And on this special Workers’ Day, dear workers, we want you to know that you are the heartbeat of the nation. Your hustle, your drive, and your daily grind keeps everything afloat. Today, we celebrate your dedication, resilience, and the immeasurable value you bring to our world. With that said, @DigitalEncode wishes you a month filled with progress, success, and breakthrough moments. We hope you believe in yourself as much as we do. Go get them! You've got this! #DigitalEncode #Cybersecurity #NewMonth #May
