I want to start a series of Cyber Security awareness and this will be every other week of just sharing whatever I find out there to help you to be secure.
We share so much information about ourselves and that can advertently be used to compromise our digital lifestyle /1
IBM reported that 1 in 4 public Wi-Fi hotspots is unsecured. In Nairobi, unsecured café hotspots are a
growing target for data interception.
Risks include “man in the middle” attacks, credential theft, and malware injection.
Best practices:
● Use VPN for sensitive transactions.
● Avoid banking/shopping on public hotspots.
● Default to mobile data when possible.
Remember: convenience shouldn��t come at the cost of your privacy.
Beware and be aware

Incredible Woman tries to take her car out the ‘Matrix’ and finds out it’s not that simple.
We now know that the data collection in modern cars is out of control -- The question is, how does that data even leave your car? And what, if anything, can you do to stop it?

@Safaricom_Care@SafaricomPLC Watch out for:
- urgency
- pressure to pay
- unanswered phone calls and those that don't go through
- no physical location or existence on the map
So there is this scam going on of guys opening none existent businesses and then tricking people to send them money. These guys advertise property that does not exist. I am a victim of one - a guy selling non-existent furniture, and impersonating an actual business.
I called the real business, and they confirmed that the guys on TikTok are scammers. Sadly, I have not been able to get help from @Safaricom_Care and @SafaricomPLC and my DMs are going unanswered.
