I don't even understand how hacking his website will lead to loss of funds

Is the funds domiciled on his website?

I thought funds stay in database/record books of the banks and/or payment merchants like Paypal, MasterCard, etc?

Chief. You've been speaking English since.

Are the relevant authorities aliens?

Aren't they humans with brains like us?

There are things that you don't need any relevant authorities to investigate, except if you haven't used any of the technologies in question.

Except if VDM is trying to pull up an April fool on us in December.. The statement about his NGO's website being hacked and funds lost cannot happen...

Nobody stores money on any website. Customer's deposits are warehoused in current or savings accounts within the banking system.

Period!
Going by VDMs earlier narration, I think the guy said too much and it probably led to this rubbish.

He said the website tracks SMS alert on his phone and uses that to compute the balance on the website, sounds like something you do with apps like tasker.

A third party could have done the maths, make an attempt at withdrawal to receive an OTP, then the software reads the message wrongly adds the OTP to the old balance and displays same in the website, hacker does the maths... Bam he has the OTP to confirm the withdrawal.

Omoooooo. Story might be true and dude will learn the hard way.

VDM is Right how?

In the video l saw on the other thread, he said the NGO's website was hacked.

Does he save money on his website?

NGO accounts are corporate accounts. You need either a hardware token or soft token to transact on corporate accounts.

So first of all... What was hacked? NGO website or Bank account...

If its NGO website like he claimed... It's a lie!

If it's the NGO's corporate account.. Then he has to explain how the hackers got the OTP to transfer dujds out of the account

People will just be using the word "hacked" anyhow.
Infact the word is overused most times
Even VDM doesnt understand what he is saying…your website was hacked as how?

Wike is not a saint and a pretender, my issue is with faux sanctimonious individuals like you who thinks one politician is better than the other in Nigeria because of their political party
You mean you don't think that Wike is better than other politicians in Nigeria? What do you think of Wike vs Atiku or Wike vs Fubara?

And how is Wike not a pretender

How did the Hacker get the Internet Banking login details?

Because he will require a username, password and OTP to consulate the transaction.

Software Engineer Criticizes Verydarkman (VDM) Over Account Hack Claim and Missing ₦180M

An acclaimed Senior Software Engineer has criticized Verydarkman (VDM), a popular social media commentator and activist, over claims that his account was hacked and ₦180 million stolen.

According to the engineer, who stated that he has been in the field for over 15 years, VDM’s assertion that his website was hacked and ₦180 million stolen is highly improbable. He added that unless someone had deliberately set VDM up, it is difficult to see how such a large sum of money could be moved from his account following a website hack.

This issue has sparked mixed reactions on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, now owned by Elon Musk.

His logon access to the banking infrastructure could have been hijacked, but his bank account through a webapp was definitely not hacked.

"Hacked" is just like the go-to word on any cybersecurity issue, but not every cybersecurity exploit is a hack. He could have been tricked for the malicious actor to gain control of his device/auth devices and spoofed his password or something, but definitely wasn't a hack on his bank account, but perhaps, hack on other stuff.
You’re absolutely right; not every cybersecurity issue qualifies as a direct hack. Many incidents involve social engineering, credential theft, or compromised devices, which can mimic a hack's impact. In such scenarios, robust security protocols and compliance frameworks can prevent unauthorized access and minimize risks. For businesses, particularly SMBs, investing in Managed Compliance for small business ensures adherence to security standards and mitigates vulnerabilities. These services help establish strong defense mechanisms, safeguarding both internal systems and client data. Understanding the distinction between a hack and other cybersecurity exploits is crucial for implementing effective security measures.

If the account details and transaction details of an account is linked to the organization's website it can give hackers access to the bank account through stealing of details from the website.

Are you the one who will investigate even if you have brain like them? I too know mentality
VDM said “You know 80% of the people that use social media are stupid, right? This whole thing that happened is a clear opportunity to show you. I deliberately did it to show you people that you are stupid.”


He questioned why no one scrutinised the story. “We are in a country where anything said on social media, nobody bothers to check, nobody bothers to investigate. Everybody starts sharing, they start running away with it. They don’t even waste time to listen; they just want to comment.”


Mocking the way the false narrative spread, he continued, “Boom! They just want to comment: ‘₦180 million is missing, VeryDarkMan is a thief.’ Nobody sat down to analyze, ‘Wait, the VeryDarkMan we know—if ₦180 million is missing from his NGO account, will he be going to Jos instead of Abuja where the police, EFCC, and cybercrime headquarters are located?’ What is he going to do in Jos?”




Shey I have been vindicated?..

And this is the same reason Nigeria isn't moving forward... It's not really the leaders, but the very dumb followers.

Happy New Year!
