Anonymous, an online network known for launching cyber attacks against government institutions, has hacked the websites of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Independent National Electoral Commission.

A visit by The PUNCH to the EFCC website showed that it had been brought down completely while that of INEC opened but in the offline version.

A tweet by Anonymous read in part, “Official website of @officialEFCC has been taken down in support of #EndSARSProtest. CHECK HOST : https://check-host.net/check-report/df89d3bk838 TARGET : https://efccnigeria.org/efcc/ You should have expected us! #EndCorruptionInNigeria.”

The move was taken in solidarity with the #EndSARS protesters.

The website of the Central bank of Nigeria had earlier on Friday night been taken down but restored.



Anonymous had hacked the Twitter accounts of several government agencies, including the National Broadcasting Commission which has in recent time been criticised for its highhandedness and stiff media regulations through its Broadcast Code which increased the fine for hate speech to N5 million.

The #EndSARS protests have been taking place across major cities in the country with youths demanding an end to police brutality and killings.
Major highways across the country have been blocked thereby grounding economic activities.

#EndSARS

This is just d beginning. We've endured pain and hardship enough, we've reached the threshold. The protests would only increase and blossom into a full scale revolution.

What will he achieve by hacking those websites that are barely operational? If you check may be the last time the websites were updated was in 2008 or so...

pls they should hack our politicians bank details and reveal their fraudulent transactions.

PDP should employ this anonymous character, he would do a great work in 2023 elections for them.. imagine having INEC server and changing election results in real time

This is not good @ all.Exposing sensitive government information to persons that are not authorized to have access to them.

Beware of a ZOMBIE.
I learnt that what he understands is PDP and APC. Anything for him must be interpreted in terms of those two failed parties, otherwise it will not make sense to him. There are many zombies in Nairaland, so avoid them.

Anonymous : a group of hackers from Russia.
I was shocked when I saw all they have done concerning hacking all over the world, even in Almighty America.

But 80% of the time, they do their hacking for a good cause.

Ok. It is noted.
