Data breaches are becoming increasingly concerning as a growing number of private companies abuse the personal information of Nigerians by using it for marketing or other reasons unrelated to those for which it was originally obtained.
The Nigeria Data Protection Bureau revealed that it was investigating over 110 data controllers and data processors for their data processing activities in 2022
The National Commissioner/Chief Executive Officer of NDPB, Dr Vincent Olatunji, says they are investigating over 110 data controllers and data processors for various degrees of data privacy and protection breaches.
He says the most worrisome are those in the financial and the telecom sectors. Four banks, online lending companies, one telecom company and one gaming company are being investigated.
