Nigeria's House Of Reps Page Hacked

The break-in highlights an obvious failure of
the House of Reps site. The website, which
also houses an extensive amount of acts,
bills, notice papers, and other pertinent
documentation, seemed to be a major target
for the hacker, who also linked to his or her
Facebook page.

The "About" page of the Nigerian House Of
Representatives website was hacked today, by a
hacker calling himself or herself "Haxor Ositilife
Leet".
The page, which when clicked begins to play music and
display the hacker's graphics, now displays an ominous
threat to the page's web administrator.
"Hello Admin," the warning says. "Haxor Ositilife Leet was
here. Patch your security or the next time we come [it's]
gonna be rough."
The warning, which has been on the page for much of the
day, ends saying "No hard feelings though this is just a
security reminder.

On the page , the amateur hacker outlines many of his or her
past and future targets. Photos on the page show he or she
has previously hacked university websites and altered
JAMB results online. The hacker promises the next site
hacked will be that of the National Institute of Legislative
Studies.
"Security is just an ILLUSION," the hacked page threatened.
"We will be back soon."
