Akwa Ibom Government Website Hacked by fratermathy(m): 1:14am On Dec 04, 2015 |
The official website of the Akwa-Ibom State Government has been hacked by an unknown person that calls himself Xvirus. The website has been defaced and replaced with a page linking to the hacker's Facebook account. It should be noted that this is not the first time that the websites of Nigerian Governmental Agencies, Ministries and the official website of the Federal Government itself have been hacked. One can recall some months ago when some hackers defaced our official website http://nigeria.gov.ng. Although this hack attempt will be neutralised once the web developers of the website observe it (which is one of the aims of this write-up), it should be stressed that we need to protect our websites, especially vital and sensitive ones such as the Governmental Websites, from hackers. Vital documents can be stolen, confidential matters laid bare, and a whole lot of other calamities can be conjured by the hackers to unleash mayhem in a myriad of ways upon us and/or our Governments. It is time for Nigeria to rethink her cyber security. When was the last time we heard that Governmental websites in the U.S. or U.K. were hacked? Are their computers, servers, web-hosts, etc, any different from ours? These nations pay critical attention to cyber security. Infact, when a website belonging to a major movie production company was hacked last year, the United States Government treated the issue as a national security threat and responded pro-actively. We need to make our websites hack-proof by employing "ethical hackers" (such as myself ![]() Please we need CHANGE in CYBER SECURITY or else, a terrible hacker shall soon rise and undertake a "cyber-coup" of our Federal Government! All levels of Governments in the country should take note. It should finally be noted that I am simply a student of knowledge and a devout computer "worshipper", I do not claim to be an authority. In essence, my write-up is subject to scrutiny, edits, corrections and what-have-we. Meanwhile, the hacked website is http://akwaibomstate.gov.ng/ (see screenshot below) Akwa-Ibom State is the largest oil producing state in Nigeria! Its capital is in the serene and notably neat city of Uyo. The current Governor is Deacon Udom E. Udom. - Thoughts and Sentiments of Mathias Orhero (literarymathy@gmail.com) 5 Likes 1 Share

Xvirus noni. but what actually is d point? can it give him more money in anyway? or is he just trying to make a statement? meanwhile Do you have a skill or do you run a service and yet not making much money out of it? Chances are that many people don't know you have this skill or offer such services and yet someone in your area might be in desperate need of your services... are you a makeup artist, event manager, Dj, Piano tutor, Model, Rented Usher, Bass guitar tutor, graphics designer, web developer, actor/actress, Lesson teacher, french Lesson tutor, programmer, etc... register your services/skill at (check my signature) and be surprised how many people require your services out there but don't know you offer them. Sabiboy.com... someone, somewhere needs your services. 1 Like |

Nice one man.. I think most of our Website re hosted on Shared Hosting only few use VPS hosting which is more easier to hack.. I blame the Web developing company for such errors.. But I think hackers should be punished for such an evil act. my thought thou. Lalasticlala wat ya say? 1 Like |

The 'hacker' is not a Hacker. He/she is a Script Kiddie. Honestly, I don't know which IT term has been most abused than the term 'Hacker'. |
