GoldBod, BoG and Finance Ministry responsible for GH¢22bn DGPP loss – Gideon Boako

Russia's Interior Ministry provides guidelines for citizens to stay protected from various threats. Among these recommendations, the ideal Russian according to the ministry is someone who refrains from expressing personal opinions in chats or online forums, and avoids engaging in online arguments on controversial subjects that could attract recruiters seeking individuals with strong viewpoints.

They do not answer personal questions from strangers and refrain from adding them as friends on social media platforms. The ideal Russian keeps their personal information private, avoiding the inclusion of their full name or date of birth on social media and disabling geotags that could reveal their location.

Moreover, this person maintains close personal details secret, refraining from adding unknown individuals as friends and verifying the registration date of potential friends' profiles. They have removed home addresses, phone numbers, and information about relatives from their public profiles to prevent any potential misuse. They do not forward messages about terrorist threats in messaging apps, avoid clicking links from external domains to prevent virus infections, and have disabled voice purchases on smart speakers to prevent accidental orders or activation of dangerous devices.

The ideal Russian activates NFC only when necessary, switches off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when not in use, and avoids using surveillance cameras or dashcams unless essential due to the risk of data interception by the Ukrainian military. They steer clear of online dating services, fearing that enemy agencies could exploit them for "cover-story intelligence gathering."

The individual avoids labeling acquaintances with their security-service job titles in their phone's contact list, ensuring no one is referred to as "Lyosha FSB," "Pasha Rosgvardiya," or "Misha 123rd Regiment." If someone has saved their number with such a label, they promptly change their number. The ideal Russian trusts nobody without verification due to the pervasive nature of threats.
