The website of the Central Bank of Nigeria has been hacked by ‘ Anonymous ’, an online group known for attacking government establishments .
Anonymous , which is widely known for its various cyberattacks against several government institutions , is believed to have taken the move in solidarity with the # EndSARS protesters.
The website of Nigeria ’s apex bank 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 .”
Earlier , Anonymous had hacked the Twitter accounts of several government agencies including the National Broadcasting Commission , which has in recent times been criticised for its highhandedness and stiff media regulations through its Broadcast Code which increased the fine for hate speech to N 5 million .
The # EndSARS protests have been taking place across major cities in the country with youths demanding an end to police brutality and killings .
Major highways across the country have been blocked, thereby grounding economic activities .
