The federal government on Friday took punitive action against individuals found responsible for a cybersecurity breach that compromised critical national data in March 2023.
On October 30, 2023, the government formed a JIT, headed by the Director of Cyber Crime at the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), to investigate the breach.
The National Database and Registration Authority has completed the first phase of disciplinary actions, adhering strictly to internal rules and regulations. Officers identified in the JIT report as responsible for the breach have been dismissed from their posts.
