CBN alerts public to fraudulent links targeting personal bank accounts
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has warned members of the public about the circulation of fraudulent messages and links designed to gain access to personal bank accounts.
The warning was contained in a press release dated April 21, 2026, and issued by the apex bank’s Acting Director of Corporate Communications, Hakama Sidi Ali, and released on Wednesday, April 22.
The alert comes amid what appears to be a growing wave of cyber threats targeting critical public institutions, following the recent disruption at the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), which temporarily shut down its online portal between April 17 and April 20, 2026.
