On Monday, Nigeria’s telecom regulator, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) alerted Nigerians of the existence of another hacking group known as Lyceum orchestrating cyberespionage in the African telecoms space.

Below are the SEVEN steps telecom consumers and the general public can take to prevent any attack by this cybercrime group:

  1. Ensure the consistent use of firewalls (software, hardware and cloud firewalls).
  2. Enable a Web Application Firewall to help detect and prevent attacks coming from web applications by inspecting HTTP traffic.
  3. Install Up-to-date antivirus programmes to help detect and prevent a wide range of malware, trojans, and viruses, which APT hackers will use to exploit your system.
  4. Implement the use of Intrusion Prevention Systems that monitor your network.
  5. Create a secure sandboxing environment that allows you to open and run untrusted programs or codes without risking harm to your operating system.
  6. Ensure the use of the virtual private network (VPN) to prevent an easy opportunity for APT hackers to gain initial access to your company’s network.
  7. Enable spam and malware protection for your email applications, and educate your employees on how to identify potentially malicious emails.

The general public can as well contact ngCERT on incident@cert.gov.ng for further technical assistance.
