@HatsaVii Were employees adequately prepared for this threat?

[BiscuiT++ @MafiaPopcorn]

@HatsaVii Instead of "Hackers stole money."we should ask
"How did trust in a digital communication become sufficient to authorise a US$403,605 financial transaction?"
That's a much more interesting question.
Because the money didn't magically disappear through cyberspace.There was a chain

[BiscuiT++ @MafiaPopcorn]

@HatsaVii Public funds were lost

[BiscuiT++ @MafiaPopcorn]

@HatsaVii What data and communications may have been exposed?

[BiscuiT++ @MafiaPopcorn]

@HatsaVii How could fraudulent communication become trusted?

[BiscuiT++ @MafiaPopcorn]

@HatsaVii Which organisations were responsible for prevention, response and investigation?

BREAKING: Hackers have duped Nocma into transferring $403,605 (about K700m) to a fraudulent Bank of America account after impersonating Mozambican port handling firm Mozhandling Limited.

[BiscuiT++ @MafiaPopcorn]

Don't assume the problem is simply
"Malawian organisations need better cybersecurity."
That's too broad.Investigate whether the deeper problem is something like: Organisations lack reliable mechanisms for establishing digital trust before high-risk actions are authorised.

[Jerome Chisikwa @JeromeChisikwa]

NOCMA made these payments over four months without ever checking with Moz Handling to confirm they were received. That’s either gross negligence or deliberate fraud. Clara Chikafa Mkagula and the Deputy CEO should be arrested because they definitely know what really happened.

What cybersecurity capabilities does Malawi currently have?

Who had responsibility?

Let's understand a Malawian development system and identify where digital intervention can change it.

[BiscuiT++ @MafiaPopcorn]

@Lancee_Mw how ?

[BiscuiT++ @MafiaPopcorn]

@Hopemalopa We need to move from “I posted about it” to “I helped people understand it, I connected them to the right information, I followed up, and we can see what changed.”That is how we begin to use media as a tool for national development not simply as a platform for engagement.

[BiscuiT++ @MafiaPopcorn]

@Hopemalopa Posting about a problem is only the beginning. If a serious issue is posted on Twitter, receives likes and comments, and then disappears from the timeline, we have created awareness but not necessarily development. The real question is what happens next?

[BiscuiT++ @MafiaPopcorn]

@FaijoProsper Instead of only asking to roast ask it how to improve your life. Build a business, learn a skill, understand your finances, research an opportunity, solve a problem in your community, We have powerful tools let’s use them to develop ourselves and Malawi, not just generate content

[BiscuiT++ @MafiaPopcorn]

@ChikafaJnr DONT CRITICISE US INSTEAD EDUCATE US WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO, WHAT ARE THE STEPS ? HOW BAD IS EXPIRED INSULIN TO MALAWIANS. THATS WHEN NOW ARE USING MEDIA AS A TOOL FOR DEVELOPMENT #TIYENI TIKHALE ATHU OZINDIKIRA
