Cyber Crimes Incidents in Financial Institutions of Tanzania by Edison Wazoel Lubua (Oct 2014)

About
Investigates the trend of cyber crimes in Tanzania, particularly looking at mobile money services. Using data collected form Forensic Section of Tanzania police and user of mobile money services.

Key findings
Moreover, the study concludes that online platforms of mobile money companies do not address the challenge of cyber crimes adequately because employees are able to interfere with important mobile money information. In online banking, the ability of employees to change the phone number used for online banking by the client, need re-assessment. This is the number where the client receives an authenticating password from the bank. The ability to change such important information must be granted to clients only. Besides, in telecom companies, there must be a separation between the ability to make a new SIM card and mobile money password setting. This will address the challenge of miss-using the information from clients by unfaithful employees. The password complexity must equally be addressed.
