fewj: two major ways websites are hacked, sql injection and denial of service/brute force attack, if you have ssl certificate installed on the server for your site, brute force and denial of service would almost be impossible, if u're running wordpress, there are pluggins that can imitate this system by reducing login attempts, post attempts per minute depending on your config, if you know how to use .htaccess very well, you could easily achieve this without the use of plugins(i must warn that plugins are not the ultimate solution since there is a possibility plugins themselves can be hacked).

You could also make your login pages and database entry for your login pages encrypted, most login pages send the username and password to the database for cross reference in plain text, including nairaland!

Sql injection prevention can mainly be implemented during design, if you're using a cms you didn't develop like wordpress, joomla, drupal etc, there's very little you can do to implement a prevention. Having said all this, agree in your mind that there is no 100% bullet proof system, nothing is secure, everything on this planet can be hacked, even the human mind can now be read by devices!

For the third time in three months, Ghana experienced another electric power failure on Sunday plunging the whole nation into darkness for about three hours.

The system failure at the National Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) occurred at the power transmitter at about 7.45 pm but was restored in some parts of the country at about 9.30 pm same day.

Officials of the Electricity Commission of Ghana (ECG) ascribed the fault to a technical failure.

The Public Relations Officer of ECG, Gloria Dua Saky on Sunday night could only confirm that there was power failure in Greater Accra region, Tema, Winneba (Central region), and the Ashanti region.

However reports coming in from the interior indicate that all 10 regions in the country were affected by the blackout, which spanned over two hours.

The Public Relations Officer of GRIDCO Mr. Albert Quainoo said the whole nation was affected and attributed it to technical problems emanating from the Akosombo, Tema and Takoradi power plants interconnectivity.

Meanwhile, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Volta Region Authority Mr. Kweku Awotwi has attributed current energy challenges in the country to the short-fall in the supply of gas from the West African Gas Pipeline Company.

He said that WAGPCO presently supplies VRA about 90,000 British Thermal Units (BTU) of Liquefied petroleum gas daily.

The Chief Executive Officer, who said the problem was temporary, explained that Ghana currently needs a daily supply of 1,600 megawatts power for both domestic and industrial purpose.

He hinted that plans were underway to shore up daily supply by 960 megawatts by 2013.

A trial court in Iran has issued its final verdict, ordering a Christian pastor to be put to death for leaving Islam and converting to Christianity, according to sources close to the pastor and his legal team.

Supporters fear Youcef Nadarkhani, a 34-year-old father of two who was arrested over two years ago on charges of apostasy, may now be executed at any time without prior warning, as death sentences in Iran may be carried out immediately or dragged out for years.

It is unclear whether Nadarkhani can appeal the execution order.

The Lagos State Government has shut down the Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Ministry and six other churches in Lagos, Southwest Nigeria over noise pollution.

Officials of the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency, LASEPA stormed a branch of the Lord’s Chosen Church at 25 Omobola Street, Lawanson, Surulere area at the weekend and shut it down.

Other affected churches are Bible Church, FESTAC; The Chapter of Christ Church, Oregun, Ikeja; Assemblies of God Church, Ikeja; The Golden Gate Church, Ifako-Ijaiye and Seek and Save Ministry, Abule Egba.

The closure of the churches is coming after pre-sanction notices were given to the churches to abate the noise pollution emanating from their worship centres.

General Manager, LASEPA, Engr. Rasheed Shabi said the closure of the churches became imperative after several abatement notices issued to them were disregarded.

According to him, some of the churches even rebuffed meetings called by the agency on how to resolve the issue.

“The agency’s stance is clear on issue of noise pollution level permitted. This has been communicated to all worship centres in the state.

“The level of noise pollution allowed in the state is between 55 decibel during the day and 42 to 45 decibel at night,” he said.

Shabi said the state government was determined to reduce noise pollution in the state because of the anomalies and diseases related to it.

He enjoined worship centres in the state to comply with the state’s standard on noise, while suggesting the use of sound proof equipment by churches to reduce noise during their worship services.

Meanwhile, the large expanse of land in Ayobo where the temporary headquarters of Deeper Life Bible Church is situated may soon become a subject of litigation, as the Olalere Family has asked the church to vacate the land.

The over 150 acres of land covering Amule, Ayobo and Onikanga communities, currently accommodates the Deeper Life Bible Church main auditorium, the International Bible Training College and the proposed Anchor University owned by founder of the church, Pastor Williams Kumuyi.

Although Deeper Life Bible Church has been in possession of the land for over 30 years, the Olalere Family who now claim ownership of the land has declared the church as an illegal occupant and warned that the family may resort to court action to evict the church if it does not legalise its tenancy of the land.

The Olalere family in a letter to the church dated 7 February 2012 noted that by virtue of a 2010 court ruling by Justice Oyekan Abdullahi, the entire Ayobo community land belongs to them, and any occupant currently on the land must renegotiate their tenancy with the family.

When our reporter contacted the church over the development, secretary to the church, Pastor Jerry Asemota, said he was personally unaware of any letter to the church by the Olalere family.

He, however, said that only the legal department of the church could confirm receipt of such letters.

When asked about the Olalere family’s claim of ownership to the church land, he said: “I can assure you that we are not illegal occupants. We have been in possession of this land for 30 years and if the initial owners have problem among themselves, they should settle it amicably.”

It is time to move out of this sorry nation called Nigeria. The longer we stay, the more likely these people and their fanaticism will be the death of us all. How does one justify arrangements with members of a sect that are killing your own members for sport?

I cringe to write the phrase "Nigerian Police" - there is no such thing in this country.

From robbing citizens in broad daylight (gently called bribery) to abetting terrorism, there is very little to save about the current police.

And the story keeps getting worse each day.
