Turkey is sympathetic to islamist groups worldwide hence don't be surprised that this has happened because President Mahama was in Germany organizing funds to fight boko haram .Turks are the second largest ethnic group in Germany. BNI should put this matrix together and zero in this. Definitely boko haram sympathizers behind this hack

I really love the phrase of the deputy minister “We are investigating this matter and a detailed report will come out and if we need to punish anybody we’ll do but from initial report it doesn’t look like somebody not doing his job.”

A web server is always accessible, so a hacker can hack it more easily than less-available systems. How can the minister prove that it was throughly a facebook account from a remote network and not an intern issue?

What if the mistake is coming from intern?, what if your security professionals-intercepts the communication between the clients and the servers and change the cookies to make the server believe that there is a user with higher priviliges?

If it was hacked, then the hacker took advantage of the weak permissions of the web server or the misconfiguaration web shares of the ghana government.

Finally,why should a web server from the ghana government be attacked since you dont get anything from there and no ethical hacker will spend a dime on that website.

I believe the system crashed and not was not hacked!

This is worrying. Is that to suggest that somebody now has Government confidential information? Why was the hacker interested on the Ghana website?

BBC let me tell you that the yam we dropping is Mahama and his NDC which you are a member.Nana Addo is down so how do you drop something that is down? We are dropping the Yoke Anxiety and Misery brought onto Ghanaians by Mahama. Mahama is the source of our YAM so dropping the YAM means dropping Mahama and not Nana Ad do. Let me remind you again that if you insult Nana Addo I will also insult your incompetent, thief and corrupt President.
