It was the third cyber asset of the Nigerian government to be hit by the group, which declared it was sympathising with #EndSARS protesters in Nigeria. PM News report.
The apex bank website was unreachable on Friday night, as it repeatedly gave ‘server error.”
“500 – Internal server error. There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed”, was the response loggers got.
On , Anonymous seized the Twitter account of the National Broadcasting Commission and posted a series of messages, derisive of government, but supportive of the protesters.
It said it’s out to “expose government’s secrets & dirtyfiles”.
Up till Friday night, the group was still in control of the Twitter account @nbcgovng.
The hackers have also hacked a new Twitter account opened by the commission.

Update: CBN site, https://www.cbn.gov.ng/was back after early Saturday, without any reference to the intrusion.
