Hackers invadem conta do X das Forças Armadas da Nigéria e promovem golpe de criptomoeda

A conta oficial do X do Quartel-General de Defesa da Nigéria, @DHQNigeria, foi comprometida no sábado, e os hackers usaram a conta para publicar postagens de golpes de criptomoeda para seus quase um milhão de seguidores.

A conta, com cerca de 982.900 seguidores, foi usada para promover recompensas Firelight FXRP e direcionar usuários a um portal de reivindicação de criptomoedas.

O Quartel-General de Defesa confirmou a invasão em um comunicado assinado pelo Diretor de Informação de Defesa, Major-General Samaila Uba.

No entanto, informou que medidas estão sendo tomadas para proteger a conta e evitar novas atividades não autorizadas.

Uba alertou o público a desconsiderar “conteúdo suspeito, não autorizado ou enganoso” publicado na conta enquanto os esforços para restaurar o controle total continuavam.

Why this matters

The compromise of an official military communications account exposed roughly 982,900 followers to cryptocurrency scam content and misinformation. It signals that high-trust government social channels can be leveraged for fraud until account control is restored.

O DHQ também disse que o incidente estava sendo tratado como uma questão de cibersegurança e aconselhou os nigerianos a confiarem em suas contas verificadas em outras plataformas para informações oficiais enquanto os esforços de recuperação estivessem em andamento.

Capturas de tela analisadas pelo THE WHISTLER mostram que a última postagem relacionada aos militares na conta foi em 7 de agosto.

A conta, que foi criada em maio de 2013, tem sido usada pelo Quartel-General de Defesa para comunicação oficial.

O Quartel-General de Defesa não revelou como a conta foi comprometida ou quem foi o responsável.
