How we choose, check and correct our stories.

Last updated: [date]

How we choose stories

We cover cybersecurity, scams and data protection news that affects people and organisations in Nigeria, with a focus on what readers can do.

How we check facts

We use primary sources wherever possible: regulator statements, court documents and the official text of laws. We link to our sources in every article.

“Alleged” until confirmed

If a regulator or court has not confirmed something, we say it is alleged.

People in our stories

We anonymise reader stories and never publish names, phone numbers or account details without consent.

Corrections

If we get something wrong, we correct it quickly and note the correction at the end of the article. Email [corrections@infosec.ng].

Independence

Sponsors and advertisers never edit or approve our stories. Sponsored content is always labelled.

Legal review

Our Know Your Rights series is reviewed by a qualified Nigerian lawyer. Our content is legal information, not legal advice.
