APC claims website hacked after plagiarism allegation

The All Progressives Congress on Saturday claimed that its
website was hacked.

This was after an article titled, Our First Priority is Keeping
America Safe and Secure was seen on its website.

The content of the article were quite similar to those on other
websites, sparking allegations of plagiarism​.

Part of the article read, “Assertively pontificate long-term
high-impact testing procedures will progressively synergize timely
action items and business “outside the box” thinking. Distinctively
foster best-of-breed markets before collaborative schemas.

“Authoritatively embrace tactical potentialities vis-a-vis
low-risk high-yield architectures.

“Completely administrate robust testing procedures vis-a-vis
dynamic testing procedures. Globally fabricate functional
intellectual capital for B2B e-services,” the supposed APC
manifesto reads in part.”

However, following the media outcry, the National Publicity
Secretary of APC, Lanre Issa-Onilu, raised the alarm in a press
release on Saturday.

The release reads, “Our attention has just been drawn to the
fact that the APC’s official website, apc.com.ng has been hacked
with unauthorised content posted on our pages.

“I have instructed that the site be taken down. Steps are
underway to clean it up, strengthen the security, and restore it as
soon as possible.

“We won’t allow the desperate people to succeed in their evil
plots.”

This is not the first time that the ruling party will be having
issues with its online presence.

It may be recalled that on April 14 and 15, 2018, the ruling
party’s Twitter account was reported to have been sold to someone
who paid hard currency for it.

However, the handler of the account, Mr. Philip Obin, said the
account was hacked and that efforts were on to recover it.
