  "summary": "Senior Manager Alex Awere-Kyere from the Cyber Security Authority has advised journalists to be cautious when publishing unverified claims and vulnerabilities related to cybercrime. The media should balance their role in exposing threats and educating the public with the security implications of reporting. Awere-Kyere urged journalists to consult the CSA or other relevant agencies before publishing sensitive information about cyber incidents, especially those involving national security. He identified 13 sectors, including banking and finance, energy, water, and health, as critical information infrastructure due to their importance to national security and the economy. Mobile money fraud was also highlighted, with advice for the public to report suspected cases before completing transactions to allow authorities to intervene.",
