The Uganda Peoples’ Defence Forces has been responding to a number of queries from concerned Ugandans following a fake social media post of a recruitment portal announcing the start of UPDF recruitment process of 2023.
We wish to remind Ugandans that besides advertising in the Newspapers, Radio and TV stations UPDF has an Official website (www.updf.go.ug) and Twitter handle (@updfspokespersn) where it announces the start of the process but never provides a link to fill out personal data online.
This post falls under phishing crime and we would like to advise Ugandans to be extra alert and double-check what they receive before they give their sensitive information, such as login credentials, credit card details, phone numbers and account numbers.
UPDF takes information security very seriously and asks that you also be vigilant in order to prevent fraud and to treat the Fake post with the utmost contempt it deserves.
When the process is ready to start, we will announce it officially through the above-prescribed channels.
UPDF reiterates its commitment to securing the Lives and Property of all Ugandans
For God and My Country
