How important is your BVN?

According to my research on this post, I will give an answer to the question – Can Your Bank Account Be Hacked With Your BVN Number? There are thousands of hackers out there, they are everywhere online. That’s why I used to say, know the type of person you trust online and the type of person you have business with. I will teach how to protect your account details for you not to get hacked. Some people are suffering out there, just because hackers as ruined their life. Don’t trust anyone online, even some people you know can still hack you. There is nothing like magic in this system of hacking someone. Hackers can’t hack like magic, they will figure out some confidential information about you. Actually, they get them mostly on Social media. And some sites like dating sites and many more. I don’t know anything about hacking, but based on my research. I’m writing this post for my readers to stay safe online. What’s BVN? The abbreviation BVN stands for Bank Verification Number. It is used as a number to control all your accounts and prevent fraud. This led to opening loopholes for scammers to take control of people’s account and take money from the account. Can Your Account Be Hacked With Your BVN Number? The answer is simple as it’s “Yes“. I won’t deceive you, you can be hacked with your BVN number. In fact, once hackers know your BVN number, they have the chance to withdraw from your bank account without your consent. With your BVN, they have the chance to access your bank account at anytime, in fact they can view your bank details. Below are the Information hackers get with your BVN: Account Number Phone Number Date Of Birth Private Question And Answer Email Once they have all the information above, they can easily change your PIN and withdraw from your bank. Guidelines To Keep Your Bank Account Details Please note that hackers can’t hack you like a magician or with only your BVN number. Hackers uses your BVN to get other private details like account number, date of birth, email and many more I stated above. I can say that, hackers can hack you even if they don’t know your BVN number. Why? Yes, if they know your account number, date of birth, email and more private information. If they know all this information, there’s no use of BVN to them. Let’s talk on how you can protect your bank account details or information. Through Social Media Don’t be deceive by some beautiful girls on Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram and Telegram. Most of these accounts are used by male gender and they impersonate to be a girl. Don’t transfer your bank account details or any other confidential information to anyone on social media. Even if the person claim to be your girlfriend or anyone else. There was a time my brother girlfriend messaged him on Facebook that he should invest with her. Although, my brother doesn’t invest and he waited till the day he met with his girlfriend. His girlfriend had to told him that she was hacked on Facebook, she can’t login again because Facebook rejected her login details. Now, if my brother has invest with that bad guy, how will it feels. Don’t ever invest anything online except only if it is from a trusted source. Why did I said only from trusted source? I said that because I trust some online businesses like Piggyvest and others. Don’t ever use your real name like the one you used for your bank for your name on social media. Make sure your hide your birth date on social media. Once again, you can use nickname for your social media account. Don’t use the name you used for bank account. Through Unprotected Sites Because you drop any information in any site, check if the site has SSL security. SSL simply means Secure Sockets Layer. Don’t trust any site that doesn’t have https certificate. Google more about SSL security. Conclusion Always keep your BVN, if not so. They can use it to have access to your bank and withdraw all your account balance. Don’t trust anyone from Facebook, Telegram, Twitter and other social media asking you to drop your BVN number. Even if you have up to 3 different bank account and you used a BVN for all the three. This means, hackers can withdraw from all the three bank without stress.
