The Nigerian Army weekend stated it has regained management of its official X account greater than two months after it was hacked.
The army stated the account had been efficiently restored following efforts to resolve the “unauthorised access” reported on 29 August.
In a press release Sunday, Appolonia Anele, a colonel and performing spokesperson for the military, stated administrative management of the account had been totally reinstated.
She stated the account was now secured and would resume common updates on the military’s actions, operations, achievements and institutional developments.
“The successful recovery underscores the Nigerian Army’s commitment to safeguarding its digital communication platforms, protecting the integrity of information and ensuring the continued use of credible and secure channels for public engagement,” Ms Anele stated.
The military thanked Nigerians, media organisations and different stakeholders for his or her endurance and help throughout the interval the account was inaccessible.
