Immediate past Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babatunde Fashola, SAN on
Saturday drew attention of members of the public to the antics of
hackers.
According to Vanguard, all posts on Fashola’s
official website brfashola.org, and feeds redirected to the his Twitter
account, @tundefashola appeared in a similar foreign language
(Japanese).
The website as at the point of gathering this report can not longer be accessed due to ‘unknown technical problems’.
However, a statement signed by his former Special Adviser on Media, Mr Hakeem Bello on Saturday, revealed that the twitter account must have been compromised on Friday, as members of the public, who follow the former Governor, started calling to draw attention to the strange tweets in the early hours of Saturday.
It would be recalled that Governor Fashola also recently dissociated himself from a facebook scam, whereby some unscrupulous persons use his photographs and ascribe fictitious statements to him on fake Facebook accounts aimed at defrauding innocent people.
The call became necessary for the umpteenth time, the statement said then, in view of the activities of scammers who have been issuing out series of Facebook comments and information in his name with the intention of during unsuspecting members of the public, who compromised his twitter account.
