Abuja - Though unconfirmed, widespread rumours in the digital underground claims that the job of hacking into the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) website was entrusted to a ten year old hacker.
“Anyone older or more experienced would have been overkill,” said an anonymous source who claims to be a member of the online group, NaijaCyberHacktivists.
A government official has rejected the insinuation that government websites are rubbish.
According to him, “Our websites are built with government IT equipment in mind. Have you tried viewing a flash website via a 26k modem on a Windows 95 computer?”
Asked what the government is doing to track down the computer hackers, he said: “We are currently clamping down on all suspicious internet cafes.”
In the meantime, intercepted government email correspondence has also revealed that the federal government is considering retaining the services of NaijaCyberHacktivists to break into the email account of late Nigerian dictator, General Sani Abacha, for clues as to where he hid all the money from the Gulf-War Oil windfall.
