OpenLife Nigeria reports that Ogunsuyi Kehinde David, popularly known as Kennywhite4rew, known both for his impact in gospel music and his expertise in cybersecurity, has recently turned his attention to a topic of growing concern in Nigeria: protecting personal bank accounts from cyber threats.
In a recent interview, he shared valuable insights into how Nigerians can shield themselves from hackers in an increasingly digital financial world.
“With the rise of online transactions and digital banking, the need for cybersecurity awareness is more critical than ever,” Kennywhite4rew explained.
He highlighted that cybercriminals are becoming more sophisticated, using various tactics to steal sensitive information and access bank accounts.
From phishing scams to social engineering, hackers are constantly developing new ways to exploit vulnerabilities, making it essential for individuals to stay vigilant.
Practical Steps To Protect Bank accounts
1. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): “This extra layer of security makes it harder for hackers to access your account even if they have your password. Always opt for two-factor authentication whenever it’s available,” he advised.
2. Be Wary of Phishing Scams: According to Kennywhite4rew, phishing remains one of the most common methods hackers use to gain access to bank accounts. “Be cautious of emails, text messages, or phone calls asking for your banking information. Banks will never ask you to share your PIN or password through these channels.”
3. Use Strong, Unique Passwords: Creating a secure password is essential. “Avoid using obvious passwords like ‘123456’ or ‘password.’ Use a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols, and avoid using the same password across multiple accounts,” Kennywhite4rew emphasized.
4. Regularly Monitor Your Bank Statements: Early detection of unauthorized transactions can prevent larger losses. “Make it a habit to review your statements and bank notifications regularly. If anything looks suspicious, report it immediately to your bank,” he suggested.
5. Stay Updated on Cybersecurity Practices: Kennywhite4rew encourages Nigerians to stay informed about the latest cybersecurity practices. “Hackers are constantly finding new ways to exploit weaknesses. Being proactive and informed can make all the difference.”
With Nigeria’s shift toward digital financial services, cybersecurity is a growing priority.
As both an artist and a Cybersecurity advocate, Kennywhite4rew hopes that by sharing these tips, Nigerians will be empowered to protect themselves from potential cyber threats.
Kennywhite4rew reminds everyone that, just as we safeguard our physical belongings, protecting our digital assets requires daily diligence and awareness.
