The Herald Social Media Feedback
Response to Editorial Comment: “Stolen Identities Show Need for Prudence.”
I found your comment very insightful. This is because much of the recent publicity was suggesting financial services and digital platforms had been “hacked”, when the real fraud has been more around false impersonation resulting in unsuspecting members of the public being conned.
Unfortunately, the unsuspecting victims would voluntarily sent or transfer money to the fraudsters’ accounts, without first checking their veracity, which is why your call for public prudence is to be commended.
The recent reports actually show that the weakness is not with EcoCash or the banking systems. The huge figures reported cannot have been moved on the EcoCash platform, which now has transfer limits. And, in any case, EcoCash has publicly come out saying its systems are secure and have not been hacked or compromised.
The problem, like your comment pointed out, are the criminals — the bad actors out there — that are pouncing on unsuspecting customers and citizens, and taking advantage of the lack of vigilance and prudence among some of them.
After your Comment, they should now not say they have not been warned. — Concerned Digital User.

Well done Nakamba. You have indeed set a good example for others to follow. Education is the key to success. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated. Getting such an opportunity is uncommon and hope the students will utilise the opportunities to their maximum. Keep on doing the great work. — Kukue Haripo.

Responses to “No independence exeat for boarders”
A good move by the Ministry. If the exeat was allowed, their movement from school to home and back could have been a super spreader of Covid-19 if caution is thrown to the wind. Police are urged to be on the guard and should not let it down so that there is no spike of the pandemic during this Independence holiday as people would be enjoying themselves. Strict health regulations and guidelines should be closely implemented and monitored fully. People need to prepare for a risk-free Independence holiday. — Harvey.
