UNIOSUN SERVER HACKED DURING TEACHERS’ RECRUITMENT TEST

UNIOSUN SERVER HACKED DURING TEACHERS’ RECRUITMENT TEST

The management of Osun State University has disclosed that its server was hacked overnight by unknown criminals attempting to disrupt the teachers’ recruitment test scheduled for today.

“Unexpectedly, our server was attacked at midnight today. We responded technically and frustrated attempts to breach our core software and question bank.

“The damage inflicted on the server required time to resolve, resulting in an undue delay in the start of exams and necessitating the rescheduling of tests at two out of thirteen centers.

We are relieved that the hackers or opponents of this recruitment process have failed in their attempts to thwart us. Over the last eight or so hours, it has been a tough battle in our efforts to ensure the success of Osun State government.

Examinations have concluded at 11 out of the 13 locations today. However, the two problematic centers, Osogbo and Ikire, will be rescheduled based on the Ministry’s decision.

We await the Ministry’s decision on this matter and appreciate your patience during this situation.

Similar incidents occur, as evidenced by disruptions during JAMB exams. Nevertheless, all 11 centers where we were successful have completed all planned sessions for today, by the grace of God.

We apologize sincerely for any agitation caused and assure you that we are on course, albeit behind schedule. Thank you all for your understanding.

Signed:

Ademola Adesoji,

Public Relations Officer

Osun State University
