When Google's Duplex Assistant makes phone calls, the humans on the other end can't tell they're talking to a robot. That's troubling.




It seems the Sim swaps is small fish to fry.

Soon there is no distinction between colleagues voices with the trusted telephone.

As individuals embrace personal bots and it's easy programming at home, for good and otherwise, the digital astute security forces will certainly be kept busy.

As technologies develop, there is increasing need for education and tools to equip citizens to navigate. A business opportunity for ethical and human rights centric programmers.



Be blessed.

Yes, it appears to be very well orchestrated. Safaricom needs to work closely with law enforcement and the technical community to ensure that these loopholes are closed or we will continue to hear such cases.

There are legitimate career sim swappers?

No. This one will curtail the rights of legitimate sim swappers. And sometimes things happen that you have to swap your sim and use MPesa immediately. Then again, there's no need for another red tape regarding the ID issue. For me I'd feel violated when you keep on asking for my ID. There are loopholes that Safaricom must close and still make the process more seamless.

In April i lost 123k to these fraudsters.It is very simple to make preventive measures make availability of mpesa after sim swap to be 24-48 hours.Then make activation process be similar to a new line where the person has to go personally with ID.But if someone has access immediately then many more are going to lose money.Maybe we need a class action against  safaricom for being vicariously liable.I should give omtata a shout ....by the way

Greetings Team,

With the story doing rounds on social media, has Safaricom issued a statement on the same? Anyone from Safaricom on the list care to comment? 

Warm regards, 

Michael Bullut.
