🚨 Cybersecurity Tip of the Day! 🚨 Day 11 of Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2025 brings a crucial reminder that's easy to overlook: Do not plug unknown USB drives into your computer. It might seem harmless, but an unknown USB drive can be a serious security risk. These devices can carry malware that, once plugged in, can compromise your system, steal data, or even encrypt your files for ransom. Think before you plug! If you find a USB drive, or receive one from an untrusted source, it's best to err on the side of caution and keep it out of your computer. Stay vigilant, stay secure! #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth #CybersecurityTips #InfoSec #USBsecurity #DataProtection #ISC2NigeriaChapter

#Cyber_Kill_Chain: The Cyber Kill Chain is a cybersecurity model developed by Lockheed Martin to help organizations understand and defend against cyberattacks. It breaks down the stages of a cyberattack, from initial reconnaissance to achieving the attacker’s goals, and provides a framework for identifying and stopping attacks at each phase. 🧩 The 7 Steps of the Cyber Kill Chain 1. Reconnaissance The hacker gathers information about the target—like scanning websites, social media, or public data. 2. Weaponization They create a malicious file or link (like a virus or malware) and prepare it to be delivered. 3. Delivery The hacker sends the malicious file—often through email, a website, or USB drive. 4. Exploitation When the victim opens the file or clicks the link, the malware takes advantage of a weakness in the system. 5. Installation The malware installs itself on the victim’s device, giving the hacker access. 6. Command and Control (C2) The hacker now controls the infected system remotely and can send commands. 7. Actions on Objectives The hacker does what they came for—stealing data, spying, damaging systems, etc.

Malware doesn’t show up to the party undisguised. It shows up in a mask labeled “Productivity Tool.” 🎭 In the spirit of spooky season, here’s your reminder: Not every app on your network is what it claims to be. 🛡️ During Cybersecurity Awareness Month, take time to audit your software stack. If you haven’t verified it, scanned it, or sourced it securely—don’t trust it. Because in cybersecurity, the real threat isn’t the obvious villain… It’s the one pretending to be helpful.

🦠 MALWARE; The Silent Business Killer Malware isn’t just a “virus problem.” It’s an ecosystem built to steal, encrypt, spy, and extort quietly, patiently, and efficiently. Here’s what I’ve seen after years securing systems across Web2 and Web3: 🟡 Data Theft; Info-stealers exfiltrate credentials, cookies, and wallets in seconds. 🟡 Ransomware; Locks your files, halts your operations, demands crypto. 🟡 Botnets; Turn your endpoints into attack soldiers. 🟡 Spyware; Watches keystrokes, screens, and network behavior. And the worst part? Most infections start with a single click or an unpatched system. 🔐 How to fight back: ✔️ Use advanced antivirus or EDR. ✔️ Keep backups offline and tested. ✔️ Patch your systems consistently. ✔️ Segment your network. ✔️ Train your users. Malware has evolved. So should your defense. How often do you test your system recovery from malware incidents? #CyberSecurity #Malware #Infosec #Web3Security #CyberAwareness #Ransomware #SecurityEngineer #CyberChari

🧠 Trojan Horse The Hidden Threat Behind a Friendly Face Not all cyber threats come with warning signs. Some look completely harmless until it’s too late. A Trojan Horse is a type of malicious software that pretends to be legitimate to trick users into installing it. Once inside the system, it can steal sensitive data, open backdoors for hackers, or even take full control of a device. 📌 The danger lies in trust Trojans exploit human behavior more than technical flaws. They can hide in fake apps, cracked software, or even email attachments that look genuine. 🧩 How to protect yourself: Never download software from unverified sources. Always check file signatures and URLs. Keep your antivirus and operating system updated. Be skeptical of unexpected attachments even from known contacts. In cybersecurity, what seems safe isn’t always secure. #CyberSecurity #TrojanHorse #Malware #InfoSec #CyberAwareness #ThreatDetection #BlueTeam
