Hello,

You are correct in some of your assertions, But I belive there is no way you can conclusively know if they had lower IQs compared to Those you think are better than them. I think its an insult, and a form of intellectual harakiri to judge the book based on the cover. The fact that they are not white does not mean they have lower IQs, or will not be able to beat ''Mensa'' champions. Just Saying.

Nigeria To Fly African Flag At Global Cyberlympics

A Nigerian Team of cyber security professionals “TeamNaija” will be representing the African continent at Washington, DC in this year’s Cyberlympics event. The team is made up of Wale Obadare (Digital Encode), Uchenna Aka (FirstBank), David Abolusoro (FirstBank), Rotimi Akinyele (BDO UAE), Bimbo Jaiyeola (Union bank) and the team captain Oluseyi Akindeinde (Digital Encode).

Global Cyberlympics is a hands on cyber security team game sport that brings together the best ethical hackers from around the world to compete in a series of Forensics, Penetration testing, Computer Network Defense, and Capture the Flag Challenges. This year’s competition was full of intrigues as the participants were given hardened systems to break into and other complex tasks to complete within limited time.

The teams had to go through 3 rounds while the number of teams proceeding to the next stage kept reducing until the end of the Final round where TeamNaija emerged first and another Nigerian Team Hawx came second. Judging was based on the speed at which systems were hacked, the number of vulnerabilities found and the techniques used to uncover them.

TeamNaija had competed in 2012 and represented the continent at the world Finals in Miami where they had a very good outing.
The team has since then, built capacity over the years to world standard with the ability to match the skills of the best in the field.
Among the 6 team members, they have over 50 IT Certifications which include CISSP, CCNP, OSCP, ISO 27001:LI, PCIP, PCI-ISA, SECURITY +, CSA, MSA, C|EH, E|CSA, L|PT, eCPPT, FBCS, ECSP, CHFI, CITP, CCNA,CCDP,CCIE(written),SNAA,QCS, ISO 20000:LA, ISO27001:LA, ISO 22301:LA, PCIQSA, COBIT 5 ASSESSOR, MCSE and CRISC, to mention a few.

A member of the team, Rotimi Akinyele, who currently works with BDO UAE, and consults for UAE government entities, said despite competing against the best-of-the-best in the whole world, the team was very confident of winning and returning as champions.

You should read the writeup first. .and yes, there was a qualifier. .Actually, 3 qualifying rounds where different teams in Africa competed and Judging was based on the speed at which systems were hacked. .

I know that Yoruba will dominate the list.

Sure. Those guys are the Deloitte Netherland team.

Where are the competent ones from the north?

holamiday:
Wow! Hacker Olympics. Let me inform my cousin who hacked the US Defence networks.

Meanwhile, up Teamnaija

Bros u talk true? As in true true?

eDoctorr:


Seems people are giving this a wrong interpretation. They're hackers not crackers. Hacking
is a profession and not crime as some illiterates are tagging it.

Hacking is breaking into networks. Cracking is defying safeguards, usuallly applied to cryptography in software.

Hacking is mostly illegal or unethical, depending on your intent.

Whitehat hacking can be a job and legal since its ethical; blackhat hacking is illegal and is most certainly a crime.

I know 2 of them there...

Legal hackers are known as ethical hacker while illegal once are know as dark hackers. hacking and cracking is very different

Absolutely agree with you.

Most likely these are script kiddies.

Besides, no one has ever heard of them

SmartMugu:

Let's hope Russians are not going. They have the some damn good hackers.

You must mean the Chinese.

Ethical or dark are not official words to tag good and bad hackers respectively.
dark hackers indeed. Na saint and bright hackers u go see.

Shopped obviously

Funny enough, these guys are not the BEST hackers Nigeria has! There is this guy i know very well who learnt hacking in Pakistan and Ukraine and is based here in Abuja. He is 1 out of the 4 Nigerian members of the International Faceless Hacking Group called "Anonymous" I once asked him to enroll for the competition and he refused. His reason: After the competition and he gets to hack something big and the origin is traced to Nigeria, the world will know "whom to hold responsible".

The day i fear this guy was when he downloaded the firmware of BMW from the BMW's intranet website and converted it into a JAVA file, installed it in an old Nokia phone and unlocked his in-law's X6! Though when he tried to start the vehicle with it, the app crashed the phone.

Make them come make I change ip for them give them format give them credit card no. Subscribe for site for them...I swear within two weeks them go dey on point...ask olamide...badoo
