Witness narrates how Ex-HoS, allies diverted public funds to private companies in court
Our database was not breached — NIMC
By Emmanuel Awosika
The National Identity Management Company (NIMC) has dismissed allegations that unnamed individuals breached its database.
Spokesman for the NIMC, Kayode Adegoke, made this known in a statement released on Wednesday.
The statement read in part: “The Commission investigated the data breach claim and found that the database schema presented by the adversary does not tally with the existing schema of NIMC records.
“The data being posted by criminals purporting to contain citizens’ information is fake.
“The NIMC would like to assure the public that there have been no such breaches or incidents.”
Earlier, the National Communications Commission (NCC) gave order asking the mobile network operators to block numbers of telephone subscribers who fail to link their NIN to their SIM cards.
But the enormous traffic to the NIMC reportedly caused the site to experience a temporary crash.
