Hackers break into government website with prostitution, other adverts

The official website of the Ga North Municipal Assembly in the Greater Accra Region has been compromised as it appears some hackers have had access to alter some portions of the website.

The alteration has allowed for the hackers to advertise escort services (prostitution).

The Planning Unit section of the website; gnma.gov.gh; has hidden in some part of the content, details about the escort services, linking it to Dubai.

According to a researcher who exclusively shared this information with GhanaWeb, he chanced on this while working on a project about websites of MMDAs in the country.

“Government spent so much on building websites and the developers or hackers have exchanged the information with prostitution adverts for months without anyone knowing,” the researcher said.

They are the Ga North Statistics Department, and, Development Planning Unit of the website gnma.gov.gh.
