Yusuf Bello| The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has confirmed that its official website was attacked by yet-to-be identified cyber criminals over the weekend.
A group of activists with a motto: ‘We are anonymous’ last Friday said it had gained access into some critical federal government agencies’ websites in solidarity with #EndSARS protesters.
The EFCC, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) among others were some the government agencies the group said it targeted.
The Central Bank of Nigeria on Saturday denied that its website was breached.
But the spokesperson of the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, while confirming the attack in a tweet, said the intrusion was successfully repelled.
He wrote, “Though there were attempts, over the weekend, to compromise the website by some cyber criminals the attacks were successfully repelled. The EFCC website is up and running.”
