This month, as we officially launch National Cybersecurity  Awareness Month, we unite under a common banner: to build a safer, more secure digital Ghana. We’ll hear about strong passwords, two-factor authentication, and the importance of updating our software. These are the essential foundations, the “hygiene” of the digital world.

But today, let’s talk about something more radical. Let’s talk about the elephant in the server room.

There’s an old saying in security circles: “To catch a thief, you think like a thief.” In the cyber realm, this adage reaches its zenith. The most formidable cybercriminals—the ones our dedicated agencies work tirelessly to apprehend—don’t just think like thieves. They possess a deep, intuitive, and often unparalleled understanding of the digital vulnerabilities they exploit.

When these individuals are arrested, a critical question emerges: What do we do with this concentrated talent? Do we simply lock away their potential, or do we dare to do something transformative?

We must consider the strategic rehabilitation and employment of arrested cybercriminals.

Before you dismiss this as reckless, consider the precedent. In the world of ethical hacking, the most sought-after professionals are often those who can deconstruct a system with the same creativity and ruthlessness as a malicious actor. They know the backdoors because they’ve built them. They understand social engineering because they’ve perfected the art of the manipulative phone call or email.

just awareness, but also innovation. Let’s champion the traditional messages of caution, but let’s also dare to have courageous conversations about how we build an unbreachable digital Ghana.

The minds that have challenged our systems could be the very ones to fortify them. The question is, are we ready to offer a second chance in exchange for a safer future for all?

Let’s use this month to start the conversation.

Join the Dialogue.

Legal practitioner Oliver Barker-Vormawor has questioned why the violence in Gbeniyiri has received so little media attention compared to incidents in other parts of the country.

Speaking on Newsfile on JoyNews, Barker-Vormawor lamented what he called a “partitioning of empathy” regarding the fatal land clashes in public discourse.

He observed that while at least 31 people have been killed and more than 48,000 displaced from 12 communities, the national spotlight has been overwhelmingly consumed by the Akwatia by-election.

“I am also concerned about how we petition our humanity and empathy towards reportage of issues generally. And I’ve noticed, I mean, again, it’s a, it’s a, it’s a, perhaps a long historical thing in terms of how we cover the northern part of the country, the way in which we create sympathy and empathy around issues that affect certain areas, it goes all the way down,” he said.
