LEGIT9JA Nigeria's #1 Hub For Music, Entertainment, News and More
The popular Anoncentral, Anonymous hackers have taken over the Twitter account of the Nigeria Broadcasting Commission, NBC.
The account was first hijacked late Thursday night by the notorious cyber group. A photo was shared with the logo of the NBC attached to it. The photo was captioned, “#EndSARS, #EndSWAT and #ENDPOLICEBRUTALITY.”
In the message, it said:
“No one deserves this brutality. What happened to people could also happen to our families. We are sorry for keeping mute and being anonymous.”
Another post, on Friday morning, read:
“We anonymous group of hackers will continue supporting the citizens of Nigeria. Expect us. #Hacked.”
The hackers said in another post:
“We Anonymous have taken over all the NG official Twitter’s account to support #ENDPOLICEBRUTALITY. We are together with Nigerians. Expected (the) unexpected. #OpNigeria #Hacked.”
The hackers went ahead to ask Nigerians to suggest government websites “you want us to play with”.
“Good morning, great Nigerians. TGIF and it’s also a good day to #ENDSARS and #EndSWAT,” they said, before asking: “Which government website(s) would you want us to play with? Drop your suggestions under this tweet.”
As of 9:40 am on Friday, the NBC website is still active as configured, no other government platform that has suffered such a cyber-attack.
