FUTA suspends final year student for hacking into newspaper’s website

According to the institution, the student, Afolabi Emmanuel of the Department of Food Science and Technology, was suspended on Wednesday.

It was gathered that the university had received a complaint from Premium Times about a Denial of Service attack on its website between 28th and 29th February 2020 through a concerted vulnerability scanning by a person using IT infrastructure of the institution. The indefinite suspension letter by the university read in parts: “In the extant Student’s Handbook of Information, your action is a misconduct to abuse the use of University IT Infrastructure. While still putting in place an arrangement to give you an opportunity to explain yourself, you are hereby placed on an indefinite suspension retroactively from 18th March, 2020.
