Hacker Breaks Into NIMC Server - The Story Is False by Nobody:
Displaying a defaced National Identity card of a Nigerian alongside the article, the hacker said, “I've got one more output for s3 bucket, I casually tried to access it without any hope, and damn! The s3 bucket is full of juice.
#1 - If you hack into any database, it is not possible for you to get a display, you only have access to some junk data

#2 - Sarahareporters (are) is lying about the story as the author of the article did not mention NIMC or Nigeria in the said article. The original publication from saharareporters stated on their website:
Revealing how easy it was for him to breach the NIMC server and access personal information of millions of Nigerians in an article he shared on infosecwriteups.com
Upon checking the article there is nowhere Sam mentions NIMC or Nigeria. see link below

#3 - Since I know the story was fake, I follow Sam to his Twitter page and he had already twittered:

Hi, Guys my recent post about, open, S3 bucket, I want to say that, that server is not from nigiria's government, it's from
@TecnoSRC and, there is company's private data nothing else, and I've reported it straight after finding it, and
@TecnoSRC just fixed it within hours.

#4 = For the record, NIMC is not storing your data outside of the country, rather the server was stationed in Abuja, probably in an underground room. I will post the map location later.

SR is not a news medium na.
It's a blog that fabricates stories,Photoshop pictures and use beer parlor gossips at other times as its source of news.
Sowore used SR to make money from his then APC sponsors during GEJ's time with his lies and propaganda and now the funding source has dried up,since they have no use for him any longer,he has resulted to fabricating tales from his a rse or spinning others.

If you know NIMC Office, you have to know the Server Location. There is no secrecy about Data-center. Even Amazon, Google, Huawei tells people about their Datacenter location.

The only threat to the server is a missile attack.
