The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) is committed to fostering an environment conducive to industry stakeholders and ensuring that telecom subscribers can safeguard themselves from cyber threats while benefiting from the provided services.
Regularly, the NCC shares valuable insights with Nigerian telecom subscribers, offering guidance on maintaining safety in the digital realm.
In a recent update, the NCC highlighted the importance of countering cyber-attacks, particularly emphasizing the necessity of establishing strong passwords to protect online accounts.
According to the announcement, cyber-attacks involve unauthorized access, data theft, or system damage orchestrated by threat actors operating from various locations, employing diverse tactics.
Passwords play a pivotal role in granting access to computer systems or services, requiring each user to possess a secure password for logging in.
The NCC, via its official Facebook page, recommended that subscribers utilize robust passwords to prevent unauthorized access to their mobile devices.
“Secure your online accounts (such as banking and digital media) by employing strong and intricate passwords,” the NCC underscored.
Through the implementation of sturdy passwords, individuals can fortify themselves against cyber attackers aiming to compromise data, applications, or assets via unauthorized network or device access.
