SIM Card: NIMC debunks reports on database breach
The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has labelled reports that the National Identity Database was breached as false.
The commission released a disclaimer against the rumours circulating on social media and declared such “false, a hoax, and of mischievous intent.”
In a statement signed by NIMC’s Head, Corporate Communications – Kayode Adegoke on Wednesday, the commission assured “the public that there have been no such breaches or incidents.”
Adegoke assured Nigerians that NIMC “investigated the data breach claim and found out that the database schema presented by the adversary does not tally with the existing schema of NIMC records. The data being posted by criminals purporting to contain citizens’ information is fake.
“The NIMC guarantees the security of the National Identity Database through various layers of security and can assure that no data was breached.”
Adegoke, however, cautioned members of the general public to refrain from spreading false reports on the purported data breach.
