The National Bureau of Statistics website has remains inactive almost three weeks after it was hacked. On December 18, 2024, NBS confirmed that its official website was hacked.
The hack incident came after an NBS Experience and Security Perception Survey, which showed that Nigerians paid an estimated N2.3 trillion as ransom in 12 months and that 65 percent of households had been affected by kidnapping incidents.
This comes as NSB allocated N35 million for cyber security in its N9.85 billion budget for 2025.
NBS had promised to recover the website, which served as a repository of statistics and information.
