The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) says it is reviewing a cybersecurity incident involving unauthorised access to parts of its information systems.
In a statement on Wednesday, the commission said the breach
affected “limited aspects” of its systems.
“The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) is currently
reviewing a cybersecurity incident involving unauthorised access to limited
aspects of its information systems,” the statement reads.
The commission said it activated its response protocols
immediately after detecting the incident.
“CAC promptly activated its response protocols and is
working with the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA),
relevant government agencies and partners to assess the scope and impact,” the
commission added.
According to CAC, appropriate containment measures have been
implemented, with additional safeguards deployed to strengthen system security.
While the review is ongoing, the commission advised users of
its portal to take precautionary steps.
“Stakeholders are advised to monitor their records on the
CAC portal, update login credentials, and remain cautious of unsolicited
communications.”
The commission reiterated its commitment to protecting the
integrity of its database.
CAC also said it will provide updates as investigations
progress.
On April 5, the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC)
launched an investigation into an alleged data breach involving Remita Payment
Services Ltd., Sterling Bank, and other entities.
