Emanuel paul reports: …Techpoint�can corroborate that the websites and databases of 2 Nigerian universities Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria and the University of Benin (UNIBEN), Benin city and mount Kenya University, Thika, Kenya are porous, vulnerable and in urgent need of attention. Also, these data which include admission lists, trend registration details, and personal data of students and faculty are being shared in some exclusive hacker forums, leaving students, lecturers, and administrators, at the complete mercy of unknown cybercriminals. record more on TechPoint for more on the breaches and the cultural aspects. Having tried unsuccessfully to notify a few African universities myself in the past, i am not surprised by what I show in the article, but it is certainly disheartening.
