Statistics
Cyber security in Nigeria
History
The federal government revealed that a total of 12,988,978 cyber-attacks originating from both within and outside Nigeria were recorded in the country.
The attacks were made on public websites and portals and averaged around 1,550,000 daily, according to the immediate former Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Prof. Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami.
However, Pantami said the attacks skyrocketed to 6,997,277 on presidential election day.
Again, a total of 3,834,244 cyber-attacks were made against Nigeria during the governorship and state houses of assembly elections period in the country.
These attacks came just a few weeks after more than 12.9 million internet based criminal attacks were launched on Nigeria during the presidential and National Assembly elections.
Similarly, the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), through its Computer Emergency Readiness and Response Team, sometime in 2023, detected activities of a hacktivist group targeting Nigeria’s vital digital infrastructure.
Why Nigeria is targeted
“One of the key markets in Africa, Nigeria, is quickly becoming a mobile-first country, with mobile penetration increasing exponentially. And considering the availability of phones at a lower price point, more Nigerians are now able to afford a mobile device,” he said.
Rick said even though major malware like Ransomware, Cryptominer, and banking trojans have had, and continue to have a big impact, it was mobile attacks on Nigerian companies that were growing in prevalence.
An Abuja-based IT expert, Excellence Anurika Joshua, said Nigeria should be many steps ahead of cyber criminals to avoid being overrun by them.
Joshua, who is the president of Techy-Train Incubator, said though Nigeria’s cyber security is relatively sound, the government should invest more to make it impenetrable by hackers.
