The administration of Babcock University has claimed that some unidentified individuals had hacked the school’s website.
This development was verified by the school administration in a statement released on Wednesday and signed by Dr. Joshua Suleiman, the institution’s director of communication and marketing.
The statement read in part, “The public is hereby notified that the Babcock University management information system has been violated by suspected unscrupulous persons with intent to embarrass, deceive and defraud unsuspecting university clients and stakeholders.
“The criminals had gained unauthorised, illegitimate, illicit access to some of the university’s client inconsequential records from the front-end server of the university and threatened dire consequences if the university does not reach out to them, they also claim that the university’s sensitive information had been compromised.
“We assure the public that all sensitive University information remains unassailable and will always be inaccessible to fraudsters and every other intruder to the University’s information sites.”
