THE Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Mahmood Yakubu, has said there have been attempts to hack into the Commission’s computer system ahead of the 2023 general elections.
This was made known by INEC Chairman during the 2022 National Conference of the National Association of Judiciary Correspondents (NAJUC) in Abuja on Thursday, 26 January 2023.
“We were looking at the system yesterday and we were seeing that people were trying to come into the system from France but we also are putting some things in place.
“You can’t build a house and you will not put a door, window or burglary; we have done our best to ensure that our system is secured,” Bayode said.
He said the surfaced vulnerabilities of the Bimodal Voter Registration System (BVAS), the INEC Result Viewing Portal (IReV) and the backend were well-secured to make it difficult to beat.
