HOW EMBARASSING! GAWKER SAYS "Official Government Websites Are a Scam In Nigeria"HERE IS WHY!
Well aparently the official NITDA SITE got hacked and is now used as a phishing site!
According to GAWKER,
In the U.S., Nigeria is well-known for419 scams, where fake princes scam dumb Americans out of millions of dollars in cash. Now even the website for the country's top tech authority has been hacked and turned into a phishing scam.
The Nigerian government's National Information Technology Development Agency is hosting a fake login page for Britain's Halifax bank, according to anti-phishing firm Netcraft. It was likely put there by scammers trying to steal account information.
As Netcraft notes, it's especially embarrassing since the NITDA is the "clearing house for IT projects in Nigeria, and establishes a set of security guidelines" for the federal government.
Gosh they need to seriously get their act together! I cannot tell you the number of times we have had to restore our pc laptops after a visit to a popular bloggers site! Who is in charge of this site!
