The EFCC twitter account experience hacked
The Twitter handle of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), @officialEFCC, has mysteriously vanished from the platform, leaving its 2.2 million followers in the dark. The disappearance comes after suspected internet fraudsters threatened cyber warfare against the anti-graft agency.
According to Dele Oyewale, EFCC\’s chief spokesman, the handle has been down for three days due to a network problem, and the agency\’s ICT department is working to resolve the issue.
However, the timing of the disappearance raises concerns, as it follows threats from suspected Yahoo Boys who vowed to take down the EFCC\’s online presence in retaliation for the agency\’s crackdown on internet fraud.
The EFCC has been actively combating online fraud, and this latest development suggests that the agency\’s efforts have not gone unnoticed by criminal elements.
We urge the EFCC to take immediate action to restore the EFCC Twitter account as the handler need to ensure the security of its online presence. The fight against corruption and fraud must not be hindered by cyber threats.
