Hacked DHQ Blog Site Restored

The Defence Headquarters information blog site, defenceinfo.mil.ng, which was hacked into at the early hours of today, 23 January, 2015, has been restored.

Apparently, the blog site was targeted because of its role as a major channel for disseminating information on military and security activities in the nation’s counter-terrorism campaign.

The site was defaced at the front end, although the hackers could not infiltrate the database of the site.

Preliminary investigation shows that the attack was from the end of the site’s host. One Ima Sadiq who posed as the hacker has been knocked off and normal activities on the channel has resumed.
