Anonymous, an online network known for launching cyber attacks against government institutions, has hacked the websites of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Independent National Electoral Commission (EFCC), Independent Electoral Commission (INEC), and Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
A visit by Travis Media to the EFCC website showed that it had been brought down completely while that of INEC opened but in the offline version, also NPF website has been shutdown completely.
A tweet by Anonymous read in part, “Official website of @officialEFCC has been taken down in support of #EndSARSProtest. CHECK HOST : https://check-host.net/check-report/df89d3bk838 TARGET : https://efccnigeria.org/efcc/ You should have expected us! #EndCorruptionInNigeria.”
The move was taken in solidarity with the #EndSARS protesters.
The website of the Central bank of Nigeria had earlier on Friday night been taken down but restored.
