UPDATED: Hacked INEC website restored
The website of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), hacked on Saturday morning during accreditation for Nigeria’s presidential and parliamentary elections, has been restored.
At about 11:30 am when TheCable discovered that www.inecnigeria.org had been hacked, the following was on display on the website:
Sorry xD your site has been STAMPED by TeaM Nigeria Cyber Army
FEEL SOME SHAME ADMIN!!
Security is just an illusion. Remember US: D Greetings of peace to citizens of Nigeria from team NCA
Nigerians, nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice. If you are a man/ woman, you take it
The site when it was hacked
It’s 2015 elections and we are here again but this time in a different form.
APC claimed they hacked into INEC database but we own the database long before now so no worries, no fear to all Nigerians, go and cast your votes and we assure you that your vote must count because we are the kings of the Nigerian cyberspace.
NOTE: We gat access to other ranking Nigerian government servers but we are not here for that today-INEC don ‘t try to rig because we have been watching you day and day for months now but don’t be scared, we mean no harm cos if you attempt to rig, you will pay!!
We are the voice of the youths. We also use this medium to advise all political parties: WHO PRICE GO PAY
We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us
INEC has confirmed the hack, but it assured the public that it would have no impact on the ongoing elections.
It also said it was “currently investigating the incident”.
However, checks by TheCable at 12:15pm revealed that the website was back live. Further checks revealed that “maintenance” work were ongoing.
its not true because you can only hack what’s online, and jega made it clear that inec datas are not online. this is propaganda
Thanks my person. This is a cover up. And it so shamefully
