The NIMC Director-General, Aliyu Aziz, said this in a statement on Tuesday, which was made available to The PUNCH and signed by the NIMC Head of Corporate Communications, Kayode Adegoke.
The statement titled ‘NIMC Servers Are Most Secure for Identity Management’ comes after a hacker, who is simply known as ‘Sam’ took to his Twitter account claimed that he was able to breach the NIMC server. However, the hacker has also made a U-turn about the claim, noting that he did not hack into a server from Nigeria government.
“Hi Guys, my recent post about open S3 bucket, I want to say that, that server is not from Nigeria’s government, it’s from @TecnoSRC and, there is company’s private data nothing else, and I’ve reported it straight after finding it, and @TechnoSRC just fixed it within hours,” the user wrote. Clearing the air, NIMC statement partly read, “The National Identity Management Commission wishes to inform the public that its servers were not breached but are fully optimised at the highest international security levels as the custodian of the mod important national database for Nigeria.
Northerners are usually given regulatory roles/positions of fields of endeavor that are usually dominated by non-northerners in Nigeria.
