🚨 CYBER SAFETY ALERT | Beware of the "Boss Scam" Have you received an urgent message or call from someone claiming to be your CEO, Director, or Senior Officer asking for an immediate payment or confidential information? Pause. Verify. Protect. Cyber criminals are increasingly using a social engineering technique known as the "Boss Scam", where they impersonate senior executives or business owners to pressure employees into transferring money or sharing sensitive information. These requests often appear genuine and create a false sense of urgency. Stay Safe: Always verify such requests through a direct phone call or an official communication channel. Carefully check the sender's email address, phone number, or messaging account. Never bypass your organisation's financial approval or verification process. A few minutes spent verifying a request can prevent significant financial losses. Think Before You Transfer. Verify Before You Trust. In case of cyber fraud, immediately call 1930 or report it at the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal.
