URGENT ADVISORY | Nigeria Cybersecurity Alert Nigeria is experiencing a wave of cyberattacks, and the shocking part? Most of them could have been prevented. Digital Encode Limited (@DigitalEncode ) has issued an urgent advisory after a spike in breaches hitting banks, fintechs, government agencies, and payment service providers across the country. The verdict from Prof. Obadare Adewale Peter (@ObadareAdewale ), Chief Visionary Officer of Digital Encode? Most of the issues are not typically zero-day vulnerabilities. Instead, they often arise from basic weaknesses in configuration, deployment practices, or poor credential management, all of which can be addressed using existing operational controls. Here's what attackers are commonly exploiting: Publicly accessible cloud storage that allows anonymous access| API keys and passwords hardcoded into apps | Credentials leaked in code repositories | Dev environments exposed in production | Uncontrolled use of Third-Party Hosting platforms | Weak authentication and poor access controls These aren't zero-day exploits. They're basic hygiene failures, and they're widespread. What organisations need to do NOW: Audit all internet-facing assets | Revoke and rotate exposed credentials immediately | Review access logs for prior exploitation | Fix misconfigurations and verify the fixes | Strengthen monitoring and threat detection "Proactive security hygiene, not reactive response, will determine resilience in Nigeria's evolving threat landscape," says Prof. Obadare The doors are often left open. The question is: will you close yours before someone walks in?.
