They were said to have led operatives to Kwara and Oyo states, where other members of the gang were apprehended.

The SFU spokesperson, ASP Lawal Audu, who paraded the suspects on Monday at the unit’s office in Ikoyi, said the bankers carried out the fraud on the accounts of customers, who did not subscribe to Internet banking.

He said, “The work of the network provider suspects was to assist the bankers to swap the SIM cards of the targeted bank customers so that they were unable to receive alerts of any transactions on their accounts within the period that money was stolen from their accounts.

He said, “Those paraded today (Monday) at the SFU are not MTN workers. Rather, they are employees of a distribution partner, who runs a connect store.”

How Secure Is Your Operating System?

Ever think about how secure your data really is? What security conventions do you hone? Possibly making a secret key? Locking the PC so others can't get to your information? Bypassing windows passwords just pauses for a moment or less and the windows 10 establishment circle. Hitherto, I have been fruitful in utilizing the Windows 10 plate to sidestep account passwords and notwithstanding actuating deactivated accounts on Windows Server 2012, Windows 10, Windows 7, and Windows 8.1. I have yet to test the method to sidestep secured PC accounts Windows XP and Vista, yet I don't predict any confusions with those working frameworks.

Before you think this makes you more secure on the grounds that you utilize Mac OS X. I have likewise possessed the capacity to sidestep root level record passwords on a MacBook Pro, running Mac OS X (10.10) Yosemite working framework, utilizing worked in Apple charges. This strategy additionally took not as much as a moment to fulfill.

The security executed in a working framework and records dependably has a level of powerlessness. Most safety efforts are feel great techniques. Username and passwords, for instance, speak to single level confirmation, recognizing your identity, the username and verification that you are your identity, the secret key. It is said for present day security conventions to require the username to be exceptional and the secret word to have at least 16 characters and an irregular blend of capitalized, lowercase, numbers and extraordinary characters to be used. 16 digits the degree of the normal individual to recollect their own passwords. With the developing innovative progressions of PC handling power, such passwords will in the long run be fit for being softened up shorter measures of time, in the end making them totally pointless. Most working frameworks store username and watchword mixes as hash calculations in particular documents that can be seen as plain content, bringing about the requirement for passwords to be eventually out of date.

Expressing those certainties does not signify "Thus, why trouble?" with username and passwords. Passwords do prevent the normal individual from obtaining entrance and some level of security is superior to no amount of security. There, of course, are different approaches to better secure your working frameworks, preventing the strategy said here from being equipped for being used. Information very still encryption, for instance, is an alternative at the working framework level. This implies a decoding procedure must happen preceding the working framework boot.

2 factor and 3-factor validation additionally increment the security level of your working framework. CAC (Common Access Cac) cards, regularly used by the DoD and other government offices are a prime case of 2-factor verification. The principal factor, requiring the card itself that keeps up scrambled authentications to recognize your identity and who you say you are, in addition to the second factor of a stick as auxiliary verification. 3-factor confirmation would incorporate elements, for example, biometrics. Remember, even with these techniques being used. There is no such thing as a 100% secure framework.
