PREMIUM TIMES had on July 27 reported that a hacker operating from the Federal University of Technology, Akure in late February and early March launched a massive cyberattack on its website.

on Wednesday announced the indefinite suspension on its student who hacked PREMIUM TIMES website in February.

Mr Adebanjo said, “In the letter of suspension dated August 5, 2020, the University noted that it received a complaint from PREMIUM TIMES about a Denial of Service, DOS attack on its website between 28th and 29th February 2020 through a concerted vulnerability scanning by a person using IT infrastructure of the University.

“In effect, Emmanuel should not be found anywhere in or near the precincts of the Federal University throughout the period of his indefinite suspension. “We State categorically that FUTA as an institution was not involved in any way or form with the cyberattack and did not encourage or support such an illegal act,” the university said. “It’s therefore preposterous to insinuate that the Institution could have acted on behalf of external forces to undermine the operations of PREMIUM TIMES.
