NNPC denies cyberattack, assures stakeholders of spamware protections

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Monday said no attack was launched at the company

There have been indications that the cyber attack was reportedly launched against Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and other major websites by a group known as Anonymous, in solidarity with the ongoing #EndSARS protesters in Nigeria.
