Our Result Portal Came Under Attack From Asia During Ekiti, Osun Governorship Election – INEC

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Friday disclosed that its result viewing (IReV) portal came under attack from hackers across different parts of the world.

INEC Speaks On Cyber Attacks On Its Portal

INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu disclosed this when he delivered a keynote address at a stakeholders’ conference on election result management in Abuja.

The conference was organised by a civil society organisation (CSO), YIAGA Africa to launch the election result analysis dashboard (ERAD) report agenda.

According to Yakubu, INEC recorded several attempts to hack the cyber security system of the result viewing portal.

“Another technical concern for us is the repeated attempts to break through our cyber security system for the portal,” he said.

“Our engineers reported several cyberattacks on the portal during the Ekiti and Osun governorship elections, some of them from as far as Asia. I am glad to note that all of them failed.

“However, while we are confident in the security solutions that we have deployed for IReV and all our web presence, we must remain vigilant and continue to strengthen our defences. We have tasked our engineers to do everything possible to fully protect the IReV and all our web resources.”

He also revealed that the electoral umpire is working to address other challenges which are administrative in nature.

“For example, we found that some of the low-quality uploads that occurred in the field, which some of the observers have also noted, were due to the unavailability or substitution of presiding officers that were trained prior to the elections,” he said.

“We shall administratively deal with this challenge and ensure that only adequately trained Presiding Officers are deployed for elections.

“Also, more hands-on training may be required to ensure that all those involved throughout the value chain of the IReV are fully ready for what is bound to be a major outing during the 2023 general election.”

The INEC boss said asides from challenges, the commission has introduced new legal provisions, administrative procedures and technological innovations to improve election conduct in 2023.

Meanwhile, Kanyi Daily had reported that INEC announced the recruitment of election staff for the 2023 general election and called on qualified applicants to apply for the different positions.
