Appropriate containment measures have been implemented, and additional safeguards are in place.

While the review is ongoing, stakeholders are advised to monitor their records on the CAC portal, update login credentials, and remain cautious of unsolicited communications.

Hehehe.

Everything is on a standstill.

Only 2027 election rigging is functioning in Nigeria.

If you are not talking about how to manipulate elections in Nigeria, APC will see you as a fool.

Those people want to falsify their party registration informations so they can blame INEC for their irregularities and accuse Tinubu of scuttling them

The people after such organizations are not the ones after yours.

Even one bomber in Ogbomosho can breach the security of the CAC, that is if they even have any.

Anybody can be hacked. I agree. The NASA and CIA you mentioned will take just short periods of time to restore everything back to normalcy. Watch and observe how long it will take CIA to rectify the issue. Imagine telling people to

The only thing that has life in this country name Tilumpu d agbado master and his agbadorian foot soldiers.

Under Tilumpu, everything is dead, nothing functions except the 30k stipends to his agbadorians.

Watch and observe how long it will take CIA to rectify the issue. Imagine telling people to update (change) their login details. Otilo niyen. You may call it a security protocol, but I call it a situation where data has been severely breached and they are putting it mildly.

Maybe they should go back to the days of using files and paper…..Shioooor! There is never an excuse for ineptitude please. Don’t be like your government comparing Nigeria with Kenya anytime its citizens complain of hunger. If you have a problem, FIX IT and stop comparing the next person with you.


Have a lovely day !

Inferiority complex sha.

Yes, in 2015–2016, a British teenager named Kane Gamble (15–18 years old) successfully targeted senior US intelligence officials, including CIA Director John Brennan. Using "social engineering" (tricking helpdesk staff), he accessed personal emails, sensitive documents regarding Iraq/Afghanistan, and the FBI's online portal.

Now going tribalistic, instead of learning one or two lessons. Well, the shocker is this ; even the Ogbomosho boy hacker’s family and the Nwaikpe from the east all have relatives whose company and business details are with the C.A.C.

All of them go collect wetin nor good if they use their information for fraudulent purposes. Please be guided

You still don’t get it. Are you this “dormb” ? Will you say because your neighbour’s children haven’t eaten for days and are still healthy, therefore you can starve your child (children) despite having food in the house ? Make we try to Dey use our brains abeg

Inferiority complex makes you hate anything yours whilst excusing that of outsiders.

Go get a life.

I did not post clickable ads.

Nairaland's latest feature, perhaps to generate more revenue, includes injecting random ads to pseudo-random posts.

The vulnerability the hacker used have been known for weeks now, a serious organization should have patched it immediately.

This is why those in power will NEVER allow e-transmission of results.

Every enterprise that is hacked shares some responsibility.

If there was a known vulnerability, surely they should have patched it.

Regardless, such exploits are part and parcel of the online world.

CAC would neither be the first nor the last to be hacked.
