Many of you will know this but if you know your parent or other people that do not know about phishing messages and calls and they have bank account with Zenith bank, tell them to avoid the hackers.

Zenith bank customers care will not call them, it is the hackers or the people that the hackers sold the information to. Tell them to cut the call if anyone call them that he is a representative from Zenith bank.

Bank will not request for you BVN, card pin or any information from anyone.

Calling people on their phone and claiming to be a bank representative na old scamming format be that oh, because I'm sure by now most people go don know about this format since, except for our old parents who are in the villages and may not have gotten access to knowing how this scamming method works. Because generally, BVN, your ATM card numbers and pin is what what you tell people anyhow, an not especially when it's been asked on phone to know who you are speaking with. So it's good to know that Zenith bank was able to publish this news so that its customers can be aware of it on time and know what to do if they happen to receive a strange call claiming to be a bank customer care.

It is so unfortunate that people’s data isn’t safe in Nigeria anymore, such data breach is a sign of how porous the Nigeria database is becoming, for Zenith bank who happens to be amongst the leading banks in Nigeria to have a data breach means that no one is safe in Nigeria.

All this are arising because of unnecessary numerous data identification systems in Nigeria, what is the need of having NIN, BVN, PVC, drivers license etc, why can’t the government stick to one data identification system so that people won’t be logging in their personal details to different platforms thereby giving scammers the opportunity to hack through and send phishing messages and calls, the government really needs to review the database system so that peoples information can be protected and avoid such reoccurrence.

Now here is how it works, the information those fraudsters call you
 To tell you, the information are in the BVN site, the site is owned by the federal government and they usually get access to it, it's from those site they see details of citizens, most times they don't have details of your account, so they use a trick on you, they will tell you your name and date of birth, because those information are on the site, so they will trick you by saying, a mistake was made in your name spelling, so in a bid to correct it, they will tell you bring your ATM card and ask you to call the numbers on it, hence your done calling those numbers, an OTP number will be sent to you,  hence you call back those numbers to them, they will automatically debit your account with any amount they've tried hence there is funds in the account. however there target is always the elderly people, because they can see their date of birth and are easy Pre to them. I know this because I've worked in the fin-tech environment.

We thank god that those hackers did not get access to the status of each customers account in terms of knowing how much they have couple with the information they already possess concerning most of the customers it would have affected people very serious but fortunately they will not succeed with any attempt they would make because already this information is everywhere so that anybody they would contact will be able to no that they are not the Zenith customers service they're claiming to be, actually every bank should really upgrade there security service and of their customers so that it will be more safer.
