The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is alerting members of the public to the circulation of fraudulent messages, emails, and online communications purporting to originate from or be associated with the Bank, which are intended to misinform members of the public.
These fraudulent messages according to a statement by the bank’s Acting Director Corporate Communications Mrs Hakama Sidi Ali prompts recipients to click links, peddle false information about the Bank’s leadership, licensing, and policy issues, and are intended to hack personal accounts.
She maintained that the official website of the Central Bank of Nigeria remains www.cbn.gov.ng and members of the public are strongly advised to refrain from clicking links or sharing personal information on suspicious websites.
She also advised the public to verify the authenticity of all CBN communications through the official website and recognised media outlets and report any suspected fraudulent site, email, or message to law enforcement authorities.
The CBN, she added remains fully committed to safeguarding the Nigerian financial system and continues to strengthen its cybersecurity frameworks in collaboration with relevant agencies to protect the public against digital fraud.
