NIMC data not breached, commission says

The National ldentity Management Commission (NIMC) has denied the
purported breach of the National Identity Database going round the social media is false, a hoax, and of mischievous intent.

“The NIMC would like to assure the public that there have been no such breaches or incidents,” the commission said in a statement by its Head of Corporate Communications Kayode Adegoke.

It added that “Investigations on the alleged data dump were found to be non-existent in the National ldentity Database.

“The Commission 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 ldentity Database through various layers of security and can assure that no data was breached.

“The members of the general public are, therefore, enjoined to refrain from spreading false reports on the purported data breach.”
