He said VeryDarkMan’s intentions were noble, but the funds’ security was paramount.

The Man of Thought identified one of the potential risks as weak website security.

He said:

“If your website is not properly secured, hackers could exploit the vulnerability to access sensitive information like bank accounts, details of API keys used for integration. Secondly, man in the middle attacks. Without proper encryption like https, hackers can intercept data between the website and the bank servers, gaining unautherised access to critical information. Thirdly, compromised API keys. The website likely uses APIs to connect to your bank account for real time updates. If they keys or credentials used are not securely stored, hackers could misuse them to access the accounts.”

The man had advised VeryDarkMan to consider closing the account to ensure maximum security.

The video resurfaced after VeryDarkMan informed the public that his NGO’s account was hacked and N180 million stolen.
