You have your preconceived opinions already and it is obvious by this your statement



So because they have deals, that means the serialized models of DoD's CHESS AI system and all others will be stored on s3? Bros be objective or else adios.

If you're let's keep in touch if you don't mind.

I agree with you,but S3 is primarily for storage, and access to whatever is stored in that bucket is still a bone of contention.
Thats my point.
If there's any other functions specific about S3 bucket am willing to learn from you.
s3 is mainly for storage as you said, but mainly for large files like videos, pictures etc that may not be efficiently stores in a database, that is why a lot of streaming sites use it to store large files. Also sites use it to store static assets like css files and images. But when you need to store sensitive data like bank info, bio metric( like the type collected by nimc) or nin (equivalent of social security no in USA) you look for a highly secure database with strong encryption.

Agreed because of its scalability,but storage is storage, security and encryption is a function of who designed the project, who implement it,who maintained it.

All this boils down to the tech guys manning such job at the agency.
Nothing is secure until its secured.

oga I give up, but a word of advise if you are a developer and you ainterview for any tech position don't ever take this position you are taking now, so mean if I give u a bank system to build now you will seriously put their data in an s3 bucket? Nawao.

You're mixing things up bro,this is a simple argument for learning sake.
You haven't pointed out exactly why s3 is a no no of choice for storage.
The crux of the matter still on porosity/flaws of the security design of the project in the first place.
Sorry if I bother you.

I did that from the beginning when I told u that is not what it is built for( read aws documentation on s3) even gave u examples of big companies using it ( I mean huge tech companies like Netflix and others with thousands of in-house developers) and how they use it. S3 is not built for storing sensitive data because that level of security was not built into it from the ground up, as a matter of fact do you know that many of the assets stored in s3 can be assessed through their URI, just as you access a web page through the url?

Hacker, why have you given them the reason why we will not be getting our National Identity card.

Since 2013, we are still waiting to get our card, now our data have been stolen.

What next because Next Level have failed us

I ain't surprised, this country doesn't take anything seriously especially the issues of cyber security, their websites are always porous and their networks are easy to breach.

I wonder when they would upgrade their firewall security architecture, even some banks are still using Windows XP to power their ATM Machines.

This country Sha.!!!

If this is possible, how then do we know that the Americans or Brits or Iranians did not already have this data/info a long time ago?

I just checked that out after reading your comments here,thanks for the clarification,am not a data center guy,but learning more of it lately.

At this point I will doubt the supposed hackers, at worst our country can't be that susceptible to such design flaws judging by many fine tech guys we are blessed with.

I thought they wanted on premise servers. Despite the billions. S3 is not that bad but for things like this they need to take extra precautions.
They wined us, they cannot sustain the load on an on-site server so they farmed it out. From a security POV dem mess up big time. Short time gain over long term security.

Pantami in the mud, I don't want to be told you come and redo NIMC registration cos I will never do it.

You don't need to do it again, what is done after a hacking incident is known as incidence response. There is backup the entire database will be restored. I can go into full details, but the IT guys in cybersecurity understand what am saying .
