I read the other thread where you mentioned she lodged with a friend of hers, and she also played the "I can not hear you" network pranks.

To start with, you work with an oil firm, with a good pay. You are neither crippled, blind, nor deaf.

I'll simply say, prestissimo, that the signs are clear like the biblical "Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin". Your boo has a boo.

Wake up

Why can't we have a consolidated database as a country?

CBN is building theirs with the BVN.
NIMC is building theirs.
The telcos are building theirs.
Nigeria Immigration Service has theirs.

This might just be another avenue to siphon funds.

cyberheist:
abeg which department theose guys dey for FirstBank?? i wan confirm the authenticity of this post. na only 1 of them i knw sha but i no sabi where he dey work

Google them individually. Use linkedin

Fulaman198:
Nigerians are some of the most (if not most) brilliant people in the world and this is reflected when Nigerians immigrate to the United States, United Kingdom, etc.

The true question that should be asked here is if Nigeria is using their best team. Personally, I think Nigeria is using far from its best team. I would like to even know how they chose this team.

There was a qualifying round before these guys won. .Actually, 3 qualifying rounds where 100s of teams in Africa competed and Judging was based on the speed at which systems were hacked. .

ExInferis:
Ok fine! Warl0ck is involved.

But i prefer DefCon.

And TeamNaija will get their arses handed out to them

Maybe, maybe not.

Be patriotic and wish them good luck

ExInferis:
Good point.

But why would you employ a hacker in a financial institution?

Get your hands off the keyboard. . .Now take a breathe. . .Think. .Think again. . .Now get your hands back on the keyboard and answer the question you asked.

ExInferis:
Look, Global Cyberlympics is a joke. You even get help from the organizer's support pointing in the direction of how to pass your test.

Wake me up when TeamNaija is to compete at DefCon.

You should post more-informed comments. You have google to help you

This year's Cyberlympics' CTF games was developed by Gam3z Inc, a company specialized in developing CTF contests.

The same guys did same for Defcon https://www.defcon.org/html/defcon-22/dc-22-contest-results.html#warlock

ExInferis:
Also, real ethical hackers would work in security firms or software companies, not banks!

C'mon, who then will protect sensitive customer information if these guys don't work in banks?

ExInferis:
These people are probably sponsored by a patron system, otherwise they'd have allowed others to compete for the chance to rep naija.

You should read the writeup first. .and yes, there was a qualifying round before these guys won. .Actually, 3 qualifying rounds where 100s of teams in Africa competed and Judging was based on the speed at which systems were hacked. .

jmslimx:
The truth is having IT Cert doesn't guarantee you capable to the Task... I went to do CISSP .. in the process i found out its all stories ... I passed but still doesn't satisfy my needs as someone whom is being in the business for long... I still believe the best hackers are always underground.. they once writing codes , Discovering new Exploits.. Hacking stuff and selling them online... Yea there alot of good hackers with this certification no doubt but majority use dumps to pass.. when u give them offensive security Certs ..OCSP they fail.. becos its real time... Anyway best of luck to them I am watching

Read the initial story, and you will see there's someone with OSCP there

Ademat7:
Netherlands hackers dey smoke weed o chai came 2nd and 3rd respectively for 2014 final OMG!

Sure. Those guys are the Deloitte Netherland team.

slightlyMad:
are you really kidding me? like seriously?
isn't there supposed to be a qualifier match or something?
those guys representing us work for firstbank and digitalencode

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. .

phemocheee:
Team Hulk is made up solely of the CyberSecurity team of Akintola Williams Deloitte and I think this team even qualified ahead of TeamNaija.

Not hulk. It's HAWK. .and no, they came second. Check here http://cyberlympics.org/?p=2131

Cheers

impactz:
My Brother no talk o...50 IT CERTIFICATES no be here o... are these guys in Nigeria or they were all Outside the country before now?

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.

Will Pitchers be required to code?

No.

How often have you had problems trying to pay for something via a cashless transaction? How frustrating does it get sometimes? Are we truly cashless or not? When are we going to get it right we have all asked one too many times.

But... What if it was possible for you to help solve the problem? What if it was possible for you to make money (and win some cool gagdets) from making sure that we all don't pay for any transaction with physical cash, in the nearest future?

As a proactive measure to solve some of the challenges posed by the Central Bank of Nigeria's cashless policy, Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement Systems PLC (NIBSS) conceived the idea of organizing an online crowd sourced contest, known as 'eNNovate Naija' aimed at generating innovative ideas to drive the policy, and generate solutions to overcome the present challenges.

The contest will play out mostly online and participants will be required to log on to http://ennovatenaija.com/ and pitch ideas under this theme: 'How Do I Make Cashless Policy more effective in my community?'

A cash reward of N350,000 each and some Samsung devices will be given to the top 10 ideas that provide solutions to solve this collective problem of ours.

Na everytime people dey beat this Mc Galaxy guy.

Hi,

If I was to send a text message to 30million people (my own numbers), what is the lowest price you can give me per sms?

Kindly treat as urgent.

You can drop your price here or email me slyrox2[at]gmail[.]com

Well, it depends on what works for you.

Before going for an interview, I always do my background check so as to get a fair range of how much those in similar position get paid.

That way, even if i get asked for my previous salary, I will mark the figure up. .and when I get asked to provide my last payslip, I will reply saying "I signed a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with my former coy and as such, I won't be able to provide the slip".

This has always worked for me

The holiday season is upon us and as always, we all are scrambling to get the best deals online and in stores. However, a few wrong clicks this season could land cybercriminals topping your list of people who will be receiving presents this year.

This year has witnessed lots of significant breaches ranging from a $40m cyber-heist by a Nigerian bank IT worker to the huge data leakage at Sony, just about a week ago.

Information Security expert, Rotimi Akinyele of PhynxLabs said online users can easily put themselves and their devices at risk, unless they take precautions and avoid the common mistakes highlighted below that could compromise their security.

Beware of the Bank Verification Number (BVN) Scam

The ongoing Bank Verification Number (BVN) introduced by the CBN as a means of uniquely identifying bank customers across the Nigerian Banking industry has provided a fertile ground for cyber criminals to defraud unsuspecting bank customers.

Scam emails purportedly sent from Banks/CBN are in circulation urging bank customers to visit a website to activate their BVN online as failure to do so would result in their account(s) and debit cards being deactivated.

Please note that BVN registration can only be done physically at a bank’s branch. There is no technology now to replace the physical capture of your biometric data which the BVN seeks to achieve.

Do NOT access your accounts from Public WIFi

Just because a WiFi is free doesn’t mean you should connect to it any time it’s available. When you’re banking or making other online payments, it’s better to connect with EDGE or 3G, even if it’s slower. It might only be 45 seconds of doing an online bank transaction, but if the wireless network has been compromised, that is more than enough time needed for a cyber-criminal to collect your data.

Use secure passwords

It’s crucial to always use strong passwords as passwords are the first line of defense against cyber crooks. Try not to use names of your family, pets, first car, mother’s maiden name, etc. as all these can be easily guessed, brute forced or even available on social media sites like facebook, twitter or instagram. Make sure to use a mixture of characters, numbers, and letters of at least 8 characters when choosing your password; as only this will add a high level of difficulty for any attempted password theft. Also, do not reuse your passwords as a compromise on one would translate to a compromise on all.

Stay safe on social networking sites

Social media sites are increasingly becoming targets for spams, scams and other online attacks. Asides mining data from tons of “status updates” for targeted attacks, cyber criminals have mastered the act of baiting unsuspecting users with well-crafted short but compelling posts offering free entry to a Christmas competition with a fantastic prize. The general rule is “there is no free lunch or freebies on the internet – if you’re not buying a product then you are the product”. Users who click the links then inadvertently act as accomplices to the cyber-criminals because the malicious scripts would automatically re-post the links, images or videos on their contacts’ walls or timelines. If an offer looks too good to be true, it probably is. Do NOT click.

Protect yourself from fraudulent emails

If you receive an email urging you to download an unknown tax payment attachment or an email informing you of an urgent pending transaction and you need to login with your details to verify, DELETE that email. Such emails usually trick users into visiting the site, and once you do, viruses and spywares get downloaded on your device which automatically joins you to a network of enslaved computers that have been programmed to carry out malicious deeds. No reputable organization would send emails to collect user names, passwords, token keys or Debit/Credit card details.

The threats to your online accounts increase daily, however, the tips above can help you stay protected online while still providing the convenience online access offers you this holiday.

Stay safe online and happy holidays!
