BREAKING: CBN Website ‘Under Cyberattack’

There are indications that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) website is being attacked by suspected hackers.

Anonymous is believed to have launched what is called Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack on the CBN website by overwhelming it with flood of internet traffic, thereby causing it to shut down after exceeding its capacity.

THE WHISTLER carried out checks at different intervals which showed that the CBN website was going off and on, while sometimes displaying “Internal server error. There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.”
