All nigerian universities with NUC sponsored networks wireless and wired for free wifi and staff database should take note as they alone in this country use majority microtik routers.

They'll be affected more

The statement read: “The first cyber threat is a ransomware known as ‘Lokilocker’, which is capable of wiping data from all version of Windows systems or platforms. It causes data loss, and denial of service (DoS), which reduces user’s productivity.

“‘Lokilocker’ is a relatively new ransomware that has been discovered by security researchers and belonging to the ransomware family. Lokilocker operates by encrypting user files and renders the compromised system useless if the victim does not pay the demanded ransom in time.

“To hide the malicious activity, the ransomware displays a fake window update screen, cancel specific processes and services, and completely disables the task manager, windows error reporting, machine firewall and windows defender of the compromised system.

“Sadly, it also has in-built processes that prevent data recovery as it deletes backup files, shadow copies, and removes system restore points. It also overwrites the user login note and modifies original equipment manufacturer (OEM) information in the registry of the compromised system.”


Suggesting possible protection against LokiLocker, the statement quoted the NCC CSIRT as saying: “To protect against infections by LokiLocker and similar ransomware, the best rule is to always have a backup copy of your data, which should be stored offline.”

This is complete bullshit

We pay the most stupid incompetent people to manage our assets

Even a novice who just entered the field of cyberattacks can’t vomit this trash.

Even the advise on how to mitigate it is utter and complete trash

Anytime Nigeria release this kinda warning, I always hide my head in shame

This one is not about Buhari, it’s a national curse

No need to quote me with insults, I will not even respond cos I will be mourning NCC by then

See u.. Facebook was hacked. A site protected by expert that Nigerian government cannot employ talk less of this.

The threat was first seen in the wild in mid-August 2021," researchers from BlackBerry's Research & Intelligence Team said in a new report.

Na nonsense them go dey uncover..
But to uncover threats to National Security remains a mileage to them..
Useless fools

Oga get it right, a cyberthreat is different from a national security. A cyberthreat that is found and is not disclosed can be damaging to the economy if eventually exploited..The fact that Nigeria has a computer emergency response team (CERT) in the NCC we are moving forward in terms of information security. But Nigerians need more of cybersecurity education, in order to protect our data and communicate securely.

why do i find this funny, NCC did what ??

Do you care that there are seasoned software developers and cyber security experts in the employ of NCC? Yes, there are, and if they say there is a threat, it's worth looking into.
