Safaricom to hide identity of Lipa na M-Pesa users
Safaricom will introduce a feature blocking customer contact details when making payments through Lipa na M-Pesa to curb personal information being traded to advertisers or fraudsters. The telco will only display the first and last few digits of a phone number, blocking the middle and effectively hiding the contact of the customer. https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/bd/economy/safaricom-hide-identity-of-li...
That's great development towards data privacy - can it take effect already! On Mon, 26 Jul 2021 at 07:05, Victor Kapiyo via KICTANet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:
