Census: Population manager alleges invasion of NPC server by over 1,000 hackers

No fewer than 1,000 hackers have invaded the National Population Commission (NPC) server, as the commission prepares for the 2023 Population and Housing Census (PHC).

This was revealed over the weekend by the Manager, NPC, Dr. Inuwa Jalingo, at ‘Bloggers/Social Media Interactive Workshop For A Successful 2023 Population and Housing Census’ in Abuja.

Fielding questions after presenting his paper entitled: ‘Enumeration Area Demarcation/Process and Methodology of the 2023 Population and Housing Census’, Jalingo said the situation was put under control through “specialised workforce, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) classes and mop-up phase.”
