Cyber Crimes and Fraud Awareness Foundation (CAFA)
You are welcome to our website! It may interest you to know that Cyber-crimes and fraud have become one of humanity’s greatest challenges in recent time. The crimes are threatening many corporations and individuals who depend on intelligent systems for the operation of critical assignments. Global businesses have lost over $1 trillion to cyber crimes.
In Nigeria, intelligent systems and networks are increasingly being deployed to run Nigeria’s mission critical services and sensitive processes in a number of sectors that are vital to the nation’s economy; telecoms, energy, education, financial services among others. Thus, computer systems and networks running those sectors constitute a critical information infrastructure because their impairment would have a direct and expansive negative impact on the nation’s overall economy and wellbeing.
Statistics by Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) shows that Nigeria ranks 3rd (7.5%) in global cybercrimes report after the US (66.1%) and UK (10.5%). This is a serious threat to all those doing business in Nigeria. Many reasons have been identified, though inexcusable to be responsible for these cybercrimes which is commonly perpetrated by youthful minds in Nigeria. Their reasons range from low moral standards, unemployment, lack of education, poverty, poor value orientation, peer pressure, to get-rich-quick syndrome among others. Our organization exists for the sole aim of providing solutions to the issues that drive people into cybercrimes and fraud perpetration.
