EndSARS: Anonymous takes credit for shutting down CBN website
In addition to other hacked websites and twitter handles for official government businesses, Anonymous has claimed responsibility for bringing down the website of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
Anonymous, an online network known for launching cyberattacks against government institutions says the act was in solidarity with the #EndSARS protesters.
The CBN website on Friday night displayed the message, “500 – Internal server error. There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.”
Spokesman for the CBN, Isaac Okoroafor, could not be reached for comments as Anonymous had already claimed responsibility for the hacking.
In a tweet by one of its affiliates, @loriansynaro, it states, “#Anonymous #OpNigeria #EndSARS #EndSarsNow. The Nigerian central bank website has been taken #Offline. https://cbn.gov.ng TANGO DOWN.”
