It Is Impossible To Hack Into INEC Database, Punctures SSS Claims. by AdekunleBalogun: 2:09pm On Jan 18, 2015 |
In what seem to rubbish the claims by the Department of State Security Service (DSS), that the All Progressives Congress (APC), planned to hack into the database of the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC), with the intent of cloning the Permanent Voters Card for use in the 2015 general election, the commission has said it is impossible for the database of the commission to be hacked. The DSS had following the raid on the party’s data office in Lagos last year said, its investigations indicated that the All Progressives Congress had plans to hack into the database of the Independent National Electoral Commission. The service explained that the confessions from the staff arrested at the APC office at 10,Bola Ajibola Street, Ikeja, and the items retrieved from the building showed that the party had an elaborate plan to hack into the commission’s database and inflate the number of its membership. But appearing on a breakfast TV show, Kakaaki on Africa Independent Television (AIT), on Friday, Chief Press Secretary to the Chairman of the Commission, Kayode Idowu said the database of the commiision canot be hacked because it is not online. He was responding to inquiries about the commissions preparedness for the forthcoming 2015 general election. “Nobody can hack into INEC’s database because it is not online. You cannot hack a database that is not available online Idowu said. He added that “the Permanent Voters Card produced by the commission cannot be cloned.” Idowu was however quick to point that his position is not in to say whether attempts were made or not. He said the it is not the duty of the commission to determine whether attempts were made to hack into the database of the commission or not. The APC had earlier dismissed the claims of the DSS that it planned to hack into the database of the commission. abusidiqu.com/it-is-impossible-to-hack-into-inec-database-electoral-umpires-position-punctures-sss-claims-on-apcs-hacking-plan/ |

As an I.T person, I never ready it or saw it anywhere where you can hacking into an offline server...... Seems laughable and very unprofessional job by DSS. 4 Likes |

AdekunleBalogun:there is no website that cannot be hacked. APC shildren of collective anger was hacked and delete a lot of data in nairaland due to the defeat and disgrace of fayemi recieved hence "you can erase our data but you can not earase our memory" 1 Like |

First of all, i was corrected that their database could be online. Second of all, the word "impossible" doesnt exist in IT, so its really possible to hack any database, it becomes heavily difficult depending on the security.... Difficult - not- impossible |

[size=15pt]That INEC's Chief Press Secretary says it cannot be hacked is not proof that people were not caught planning to find a way to do so. [/size] 1 Like |

Please you cannot hack a server that is offline except you use witchcraft... The only possible way is to use a staff of INEC to collect data from thier servers handson. Marilyn Ogar was erroneous to state that there was a hack intent by the APC. She should have been advised by IT professionals on what and how to divulge such information. But then again, she seemed to be in a hurry to accuse the opposition. Please am not PARTISAN. Am just calling a spade a spade! 2 Likes |

Madam Marylin knew that she made a fool of herself after she was explained to by the IT unit of her office how hacking is being done. Unfortunately, the goof was irreparable. |

Inec data base is not on its website. They will be morons of the largest order to allow internet access to their data base. That one even I will hack. |

AdekunleBalogun:Are you for real? Ever heard of hacking via USB flash drives? And how are we sure the server is not on an Intranet in INEC office? It only requires one compromised INEC staff to penetrate the in-house "Offline" network. Anything is possible! 1 Like |

Dss says they were planning to hack it from lagos. Using newly rehearsed videos. This gist of intranet and bribing inec officials is maggi and pepper. Hmmm. Dss cud modify their story appropriately tho. Am sure they'll send their regards. Lol. Sheer intelligence! |
Re: It Is Impossible To Hack Into INEC Database, Punctures SSS Claims. by akpanoka: 3:48pm On Jan 18, 2015 |
DSS said there were evidence suggesting an elaborate plan to hack. D deduction may have been informed by exhibits collected at d scene. For instance, a server for a mere registartion office, a hacking tutorial video, falsification of APC membership data by registering people that appeared under age among others. These are indicators. U don't need to be an SS operative to arrive at this conclusion. Moreover, we must not forget that the operation was based on an intelligence report either from INEC IT unit, an aggrieved APC member or other sources. Let's give them credit Why has Lai Mohammed not explained d hacking videos? What would they be doing in d office by 5am in d morning? We are talking about close to 20 workers. Haba |

Took them 50 days for the intelligence agency to arrive at these same conclusions with "evidences" they collected themselves. Conclusion u made just on studying said evidence. And you are not intelligence worker. |

iv4fb: Obviously many of you are illiterate when it comes to IT. No man born of a woman can ever, ever ever hack into an offline server even bill gate cannot, the best hacker on planet earth can never unless you have direct access meaning you are with the system. Common sense. |

Redoil: Is INEC data base a websie or what the man just explained flew over your head or you just don't how to read and comprehend simple English... |

iluvnaija: you just displayed your limited knowledge by trying to insult others, Do you know what hacking means? BTW, i didnt say they were going to hack the offline database, you might need to read what i wrote; hacking a database is different from hacking a server, you can hack a DB (gain access) without hacking the server, ever heard of port forwarding? sql injections? Nevertheless, Hacking means gaining unauthorized access- online, offline doesnt matter. You said offline server? if a server is offline, of what use is it? or you dont know what it means to be offline? It might be in a LAN and a workstation on that LAN might have access to the internet- so that's a possibility. I might need to clear your ignorance, Bill Gates is not a hacker, coding, scripting, web designing are not hacking... ...and even the ROOTCA in pki architecture that ought to be offline is online at first build and sometimes when need be. Its of no use arguing with you, you know nothing about IT and IT Security, you chose to display your knowledge whereas you dont know jack. Next time before your ego push you to insult people, think- they might be better than you think! in the IT world, impossibility doesn't exist. the only way to prevent your system from hacking is probably if you turn it off and maybe bury it-then stay there. lol |
