The Nigerian Communications Commission has warned the public against installing USB devices from unknown sources as such devices may contain ransomware.
In a statement issued on Friday, the NCC said the warning for Nigerians became necessary after the Nigerian Computer Emergency Response Team identified the new ransomware as “high-risk and critical”.Advertisement “The attack has been seen in the US where the USB drives were sent in the mail through the Postal Service and Parcel Service. One type contained a message impersonating the US Department of Health and Human Services and claimed to be a COVID-19 warning. Other malicious USBs were sent in the post with a gift card claiming to be from Amazon.
The Commission, through ngCERT, recommended that operators protect their devices, and advised that suspected cyber intrusions be reported immediately.
