NOTICE TO OUR ONLINE READERS
On Thursday September 18, 2008, the PUNCH website (www.punchontheweb.com or www.punchng.com) was invaded by unknown hackers who identified themselves in an un-authorized statement they posted on the site as "a group of hackers in Nigeria".

The group boasted that it had "logged out all (PUNCH on-line) system administrators and taken full control of the website’s CMS (i.e. content management system) so that this article (i.e. their un-authorized statement) isn’t edited and scrambled". It went on to make some claims on security issues in Nigeria. As soon as this was brought to our attention, our technical team went to work at once, reclaimed control of the site and deleted the embarrassing statement.

The PUNCH management wishes, therefore, to categorically disown the said un-authorized statement and to declare that it neither knows this "group of hackers in Nigeria" nor has any relationship of any kind with it.

We are doing everything in our power, and within our resources, to permanently exclude the hackers from the PUNCH website. Also, we assure our teeming readers, whose unprecedented traffic to the site the hackers claimed made them chose the PUNCH for hacking, that our on-line services will continue to be available.
