Nigerian Army Launches Cyber Warfare Command And App by Konquest: 1:19pm On Oct 22, 2018 |
The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen Tukur Buratai, has inaugurated the Nigerian Army Cyber Warfare Command, a new corps to protect its data/network against cyber attack and curb terrorism. He also launched an app that Nigerian citizens can download to pass information to the military authorities. Buratai said the Cyber Operations Centre, at the army headquarters in Abuja, would also boost the army’s online presence in the fight against fake news targeted at it with counter narratives and cyber operations. He added that “cyber warfare is the fifth domain of warfare after Land, Sea, Air and Space.Therefore, this project would not have come at a better time than now.” Buratai, therefore, stressed the need for the army to embark on data protection and Information Warfare to curb online radicalisation, as well as other terrorist activities perpetrated on the internet. "Buratai signs the guest book at the Cyber Warfare Command" According to him, the intrinsic features of cyberspace can be easily exploited for information warfare by actors with malicious intent to plant and disseminate fake news and instruct paid users to spread online manipulated content. “This is done to degrade debates with diverging truths, deceive, distract and misinform public opinion. “This can eventually disorient and corroborate a sense of doubt among the public, or shape the opinion of a specific target audience on a certain issue. “Hostile actors in cyberspace are also willing and capable of leveraging the variety of tools allowed by computer network operations and computational propaganda to influence public opinion to a degree that old-fashioned Psychology Operations could only dream of. “The above statement accurately demonstrates the real threat of information warfare and the need to combat it with information knowledge.” The army chief charged personnel of the new corps which he said was first in Africa, to equip themselves with digital forensics capabilities to be able to handle cases of identity theft and generate immediate incidence response. He added that “furthermore, I encourage you to routinely survey the dark web/darknet and carry out analysis that may help the Nigerian army to be proactive in the cyber realm.” Buratai noted that in recent times, the military had been inundated with several complaints regarding claims bothering on the unprofessional conducts of some of its personnel in the field. Consequently, he said, the army took it upon itself to create an avenue for the public to submit complaints and information directly to the appropriate authority without third party interference. He said “the avenue is an application that will allow users to relay information anonymously to the Nigerian Army. “It enables citizens to give timely information to the army, thereby facilitating quick response. “Additionally, crimes against the constitution perpetrated by serving personnel can be directly reported to the army, while keeping the person involved abreast with actions taken as regards a submitted complain. “The link to the application will be publicly available on the Nigerian Army Facebook page, while the application can be assessed through our website and on apps freely available on various app stores.” The chief of army staff added that users could submit a report, as well as attach uploads that would aid the authority in carrying out necessary actions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgdLi0gwpfk SOURCE: https://www.nan.ng/news/army-rolls-out-cyber-warfare-command-launches-app/ 2 Likes 4 Shares

"Nigeria Army Launches Cyber-Warfare Division" => https://www.facebook.com/NigerianArmy/posts/1664639783648340 This is what we have been waiting for. A place to report any threats to the corporate existence of Africa's most populous country! Most countries of the world have Cyber Warfare Commands/facilities. For those who don't know, the Americans are actually monitoring every Facebook, Twitter, and other So-called social media accounts. If you post nonsense against America on Social Media, you will be flagged down and they can prevent you from entering the U.S. based on any reckless post. Even if you are given a visa in your country, you can be turned back at your point of entry in the U.S. It has happened to some people before that I'm very aware of... and they were even British. One of 2 British guys posted on Twitter in a figurative manner of speaking that they were planning to "destroy America while on holiday in Hollywood [meaning they were going to "enjoy themselves"] and they were turned back by Homeland Security after landing at LAX [Los Angeles International Airport] in the United States!

Information you secretly pass to the military shouldn't be free, they have to pay for it. Nothing is free in 2019. In the UK for example you can earn £500 passing information to crime stoppers anonymously, if you tip them about some big crime you can get up to 20k plus. 69 Likes 1 Share |

The British Broadcasting Corporation, BBC, has raised concerns over what it called the “fake news” phenomenon and the possible impacts on the 2019 general elections in Nigeria. Mr Jamie Angus, the Director of BBC World Service Group, who featured on yesterday’s edition of Channels TV programme, “Sunrise Daily," on July 1 2018 said: desperate politicians would use the opportunity of the elections to plant and spread malicious stories. Angus noted that fake news and disinformation had constituted a huge challenge globally, particularly in Africa and Nigeria, because of people’s trust and belief in the social media. He said fake news were being spread for economic reasons, especially on social media, where efforts were often made to attract people to pages and timeline. Angus said that more worrisome “is the spread of fake news to create and aggravate ethnic and communal clashes and tensions.” He said that there were instances when people faked the stories of BBC and other credible media organisations. “For instance, during the Kenyan elections, people put in some fake version of BBC news report and shared them on Facebook and WhatsApp for political gains. What we can do is to educate the people and appeal to them not to share news until they are sure of the source and confirm it is the truth,” he said. ^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^ To identify dubious fake pictures of killings and dead bodies from DR Congo and Rwanda being circulated on WhatsApp and useless blogs and being passed off as pictures of dead people from Nigeria [Plateau, Kaduna, Benue, Adamawa], please use: images.google.com and UPLOAD the image and it will tell you if it is real or NOT and which country the picture originally came from! It is very insulting to the people of Plateau, Kaduna, Benue, Adamawa for propaganda agents to use false images from other countries for political purposes and to damage the image of the current Federal Government... it is even more insulting to Nigerians sense of judgment to manipulate them! Remember use: images.google.com and report to the ARMY CYBER WARFARE COMMAND via the Mobile APP. I hope this helps everyone reading this. Enough said! 9 Likes 5 Shares |

Naijaguy12345:^^^^ ^^^^ @ Naijaguy12345 I was thinking of that too... a sort of whistle-blower policy to motivate people. A minimum of N1,000 per information provided on fake news Websites and blogs. A higher amount for much bigger information on terrorists and their networks! But for me, I would pass on information for FREE on FAKE NEWS to the army and intelligence agencies because such evil news being spread via blogs and whatsapp would destroy Nigeria and lead to a large number of refugees spilling out of Nigeria. Cheers! 8 Likes 1 Share

The ultimate goal is?...Terrorism? Last time I checked, BokoHaram doesn't fight in the internet. Cyber attack? Is this iReport what other countries use to fight cyber attacks or sophisticated programmes/software and computer programmers? They tried to regulate social media usage but failed, now they changed tactics. This is politically motivated. #FreedomOfSpeech #ThisIsDemocracy 12 Likes 4 Shares

Jokers....even the Chief of Army staff cannot operate an iphone without the help of somebody and he is launching cyber command to stop terrorism, these people keep using all means to loot Nigeria's treasury. Who are the personnel to man this command Of course Nurudeen, Kabiru, Hamza and Musa who have never seen a 3D computer before talk less of knowing what coding and programming means Who amongst them knows the meaning of cyber security Can they program a bot Can they know the difference between a threatening virus and a normal app So long as Nigeria under Buhari prefers tribe to merit, Nigeria is heading nowhere 9 Likes |
