CSEAN president decries attacks on Lagos State Govt, Appeal Court

ITRealms:

The national president of the Cyber Security Experts Association of Nigeria (CSEAN), Mr. Remi Afon has decried the recent hacking of the official websites of the Lagos State Government (LSG) and Lagos State Court of Appeal respectively.

Mr. Afon who made his view known to ITRealms at the weekend in a chat said both attacks showed absolute vulnerabilities that led to the exploit which must be found as soon as possible.

He also pointed to the fact that it’s no longer business as usual cyber-security wise in Nigeria and called on the government at all levels to sit up.

Afon equally wondered what befits the database of the defaced websites, which must have been compromised

He was emphatic that sensitive data must have been stolen, stressing that these beg for answers.

ITRealms reports that the Lagos State government official website has been restored for full online services, while that of Court of Appeal remain in limbo.

ITRealms recalls that suspected terrorists hackers had hijacked the official website of the Lagos State government and Lagos State Court of Appeal, with a message claiming that Federal Government of Nigeria alongside the governments of United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar, are supporting terrorism.

ITRealms gathered was sympathetic to the death of members of the Shiite Islamic Sect in Zaria, Kaduna State caused by soldiers on the convoy of Chief of Army staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Yusuf Buratai.

Full part of the message read: “Boko Haram and ISIS are terrorists, They are killing Muslims and innocent people because of your dirty money, Hey Nigeria Government you killed thousands of Muslims and specially Zakzaky’s family too, You are all terrorists, You are all murderers, GOD damn you! Allahu maulana wala mula lakum.”
