Just In : Hackers Demand Full Contract Payment From PDP, LP After INEC Refuses To Upload Poll Results
By Donald Okechukwu
A battery of crack Internet hackers hired by PDP and Labour Party to manipulate presidential and National Assembly election results are demanding full payment of their contract fees after failing to hack into the INEC’s servers to compromise the election according to their contract agreement.
At Gwagwalada outskirts of Abuja where these hackers are lodged, uneasy atmosphere reigns supreme as these computer experts are insistent on collecting the balance of the contract sum after failing to hack into INEC’s servers to compromise the election.
Sources disclosed that INEC was advised by its ICT experts to withhold the upload of the presidential and National Assembly elections results into its servers pending final results declaration. The sources explained that INEC ICT received intelligence that the opposition had hired internet hackers to laugh cyber attacks on INEC’s servers to compromise the election over fears of incumbency factor that they feared might work against the opposition parties.
The sources explained that this was why INEC refused to upload the results to its servers to preserve the integrity of the election.
He added: “INEC’s position did not go down with PDP and Labour Party. That is why they were calling on INEC, protesting to upload the results on their servers, to enable them hack into the servers to compromise the entire exercise, but unfortunately for PDP and Labour Party, INEC had already received intelligence on their plan.
Apparently stranded unable to successfully hack into INEC’s servers to compromise the results according to contract terms, the experts expressed worry when their calls to PDP and Labour handlers were no longer being picked and the whereabouts of these handlers were no longer known to the hackers.
For now, PDP and Labour Party leaders are still insisting that the results be uploaded on INEC’s severs, but INEC’s Chairman Yakubu has refused to agree to the demand, citing instances of 72 failed attempts to hack into INEC’s severs in the last three days.
