The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has refuted reports that its data base was breached.
Insisting that its database was neither breached, nor compromised, the Commission’s spokesman of the Commission, Kayode Adegoke dismissed as false and mischievous insinuations that the agency’s database was breached.
The statement read: “The NIMC would like to assure the public that there have been no such breaches or incidents. Investigations on the alleged data dump were found to be non-existent in the National Identity Database.
“The Commission investigated the data breach claim and found out that the database schema presented by the adversary does not tally with the existing schema of NIMC records.
“The data being posted by criminals purporting to contain citizens’ information is fake.

“The NIMC guarantees the security of the National Identity Database through various layers of security and can assure that no data was breached.
“The members of the general public are, therefore, enjoined to refrain from spreading false reports on the purported data breach.”
