Cybersecurity is a must know for techies and non techies alike, given the rise in Cyber threats across the globe, with it proving to be a billion dollar industry for Cyber criminals. It was reported earlier that Zimbabwe’s largest mobile network service, Econent Wireless was the latest victim of such kind of attacks but the company has scoffed at media reports that its customer records have been compromised in a large-scale data breach. While the story is still developing what does this mean for us users and what steps should we take to ensure that our data and accounts are safe and secure.
