Show Notes
This week’s Cyber Sense feature focuses on smishing, the rise of SMS-based scams targeting mobile users. Africa Melane speaks to Boikokobetso Makhetloane, also known online as Mr Fingerz, a cybersecurity expert, educator, trainer, and TikTok content creator, about the growing number of fraudulent messages pretending to be from trusted institutions. The discussion explores how smishing works, why it is so effective, and the steps listeners can take to protect themselves from malicious links and mobile-based fraud.
