乌干达移动支付的普及是金融包容性的关键推动力，但其安全机制仍存重大隐患。本研究聚焦2025年8月由医生吉姆·斯皮尔（Dr. Jim Spire Ssentongo）披露的一起事件引发的#StopAirtelThefty Twitter舆论风暴：一名手机盗窃者成功访问受害者账户，提取资金并申请贷款。该事件暴露出公众对移动支付安全的深层焦虑。本文采用定性分析方法，系统梳理该舆论运动中的投诉内容，提炼出与安全漏洞及用户不满相关的主题。通过整合公众情绪，研究揭示了用户实际遭遇的安全缺口，并将发现置于乌干达移动支付监管与运营环境的整体框架中。研究最后提出对服务提供商、政策制定者以及乌干达未来安全数字金融发展的启示。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The proliferation of mobile money in Uganda has been a cornerstone of financial inclusion, yet its security mechanisms remain a critical concern. This study investigates a significant public response to perceived security failures: the #StopAirtelThefty Twitter campaign of August 2025 Sparked by an incident publicized by Dr. Jim Spire Ssentongo where a phone thief accessed a victim's account, withdrew funds, and procured a loan, the campaign revealed deep seated public anxiety over the safety of mobile money. This research employs qualitative analysis to systematically examine the complaints raised during this campaign, extracting key themes related to security vulnerabilities and user dissatisfaction. By synthesizing these public sentiments, the paper provides crucial insights into the specific security gaps experienced by users and situates these findings within the larger framework of Uganda's mobile money regulatory and operational environment. The study concludes with implications for providers, policymakers, and the future of secure digital finance in Uganda.
