A recent trend in Nigeria is the systematic hacking and defacing of websites of institutions and organizations, with tertiary institutions been the worst hit.
I was alerted by a friend some minutes ago that the website of the prestigious University of Calabar, popularly know as UNICAL is currently treating visitors to "Bend Down Select", a song by Young Jon Featuring Lil Kesh with on-screen dancers to complete the groove. What my friend was saying in plain words is that hackers who called themselves "$_naijaGHOST$" hacked the website and and defaced it with the above image. The hackers did not stop at defacing the site but added animations and XXX video (pornographic video) to the homepage with a sound track to go with it. (see full pix after the cut- NB-- 18+ only)
The hackers went further to thank the Admin of Unical website for being "clueless and unprofessional" A statement which could be interpreted to mean that the site admin is incompetent and does not have what it takes to secure the site.
This recent trend now begs the question, Why do tertiary institution contract "CLUELESS and UNPROFESSIONAL" entities to manage their web portals and sites. Must Nigeria be disgraced in every sphere? Must we allow mediocrity in everything we do? Now some nameless so called "$_naijaGHOST$" are feeling like gods.
If am right, this is like the third time this particular website is being hacked in the last 9 months. This mediocrity has got to stop!
God Bless Nigeria!!!
