From late-night coding sessions at the University of Ghana to the bustling streets of Accra, Campus Eats was all about delivering convenience. Grateful for the journey. #TechLife #software

Hon. Sam George told us we don't read. Said the bill has been on their website for 2 weeks and we should have read it. So we read it. Then he told us the bill we read is DEAD. That it's a V0. A zero draft. Irrelevant. Sir. With the greatest respect — which bill exactly were we supposed to read? Because here is what just happened: ✅ You put a bill on your website ✅ You told the public to read it ✅ The public read it ✅ The public raised serious concerns about what they read ❌ You then told them what they read doesn't count ❌ Because the REAL bill is V5 ❌ Which was... where exactly? V5 was not on the website. V5 was not shared publicly. V5 was apparently only available to a select few in that room. So the bill you told us to read was never the bill you were working from. And when we read what you gave us and raised alarms, you used it as evidence that we don't read. That is not a communication problem on our end sir. That is a transparency problem on yours. You cannot put a V0 in public view, keep V5 in a private room, then tell citizens they are uninformed for reacting to what you gave them. We read. We showed up. We just weren't given the right document. So before the next meeting — which bill are we reading? Where is it? And when exactly were you planning to share it with the people it affects most? We are still waiting. #NITA #NITABill #GhanaTech #WhichBill #V5 #CitizensNotSpectators #HonSamGeorge @koboateng @pazunre @Hackerslord_24 @MacJordaN @KwesiHubert

@NITAGhana Me personally along with other folks was instrumental in raising awareness of the bills. Spent money and time to work on apdigh.org breaking down all the bills and making them accessible. This narrative is weird af.

There was no guarantee. Over to you.

Ghanaian Politicians

hmm @NITAGhana , if there is now a new version of the bill, why was it not circulated early enough for stakeholders to study before this engagement? How can citizens, professionals, startups, and industry players give meaningful feedback on a document they have not had proper time to review?????? #AskNITA @samgeorgegh

Yesterday, if you opened a Ghana government ministry website on your phone, there was a chance you got redirected to a casino. Not a metaphor. Not satire. The actual Ministry of Interior. The actual Ministry of Health. Mobile visitors bounced to gambling pages while the same sites looked perfectly clean on desktop. Here is the technical detail worth understanding: this is called a conditional mobile redirect. Hackers know that IT administrators manage websites from desktop computers. So they write code that checks your device before deciding what to show you. Desktop gets the real site. Phone gets the trap. The admin never sees the problem because the admin never checks from a phone. It is a clever hack in the most uncomfortable sense of that word. Within 48 hours, Interior, Health, Agriculture were all compromised. The Ministry of Communications faced a DDoS attack on top of that. By evening, the sites were back. No data breach confirmed. But the timing of all this is the part that matters. Ghana is currently debating the NITA Bill. A draft that would require ICT businesses to hold licenses and tech professionals to carry certifications. The conversation in the ecosystem has been heated: why is the government focused on controlling and licensing the talent instead of investing in it? Then this happens. This is not about embarrassing the government. Governments everywhere get hacked. Kenya went through this. Nigeria went through this extensively. It is a pattern, and Ghana is not uniquely negligent for being on that list. But the community's question deserves to be asked plainly: if the systems responsible for internal security and national safety can be redirected to slot machine pages, what does that tell us about where the priorities actually are? Developers who can find these vulnerabilities exist in Ghana. They are in the same community being asked to go get licensed. Before any licensing framework, audit the digital infrastructure those licenses are supposed to protect. A certification means nothing if the systems behind it are running exposed code. Bug bounty programmes are not optional extras. They are a form of governance. Paying local talent to find problems before attackers do is cheaper than the alternative, and it builds exactly the pipeline that everyone agrees Ghana needs. The regulation conversation and the infrastructure conversation cannot keep happening separately. What should the government's first concrete to stopping this?

NITA BILL is simply a revenue generation bill aiming to extort from various IT professionals .... and we speak against it

Dialysis is draining man, I'm literally on my knees. I need medication refill and food to get by. If you can spare something please help a brother. My number is 09098539701, 08079468065. Thank you. 🙏🏿

@gemini_dna Hmm really sad country we live in.

@codewithcobby People have posted about the expired SSL many times already and they didn't listen

Some government officials websites too are running on expired ssl certificates and no one is attending to them, yet their priority remains killing millions dreams with NITA bill. Sad! 💔

@DaadaKD @koboateng This is not a hack, it’s an expired ssl certificate 😂 but my goodness the government doesn’t even attend to it 🫠💔

@koboateng Ministry of food and agriculture have been hacked

Can Aku save us?

“Monperatoto is an official #1 ‘hot slot’ gambling link from the trusted PGSoft provider & today’s popular gambling site. Enjoy playing on the #1 hot slot site that guarantees…” 😂🤣

Monperatoto 😭🤦🏾‍♂️💔

The Interior Minister website of Ghana has been targeted with an SEO spam injection attack. More proof that the government needs to start enabling the youth in the tech space to help build a better country rather than trying to control them.

Ministry of Health website has also been hacked. What is really going on? Site: moh.gov.gh

@Dignity_Keyz @tech_twi It’s targeting mobile users

The moment the government started pushing a bill targeting tech bros in Ghana, the Interior Ministry website got hacked within 48 hours. Maybe this should send a message to them that you can’t control us, but we can help make the country a better place when they start enabling us. I hope they learn from this and drop that bill.

@KINGIlIIlI @koboateng Ministry of Health too

The Ministry of the Interior Ghana site appears to be affected by a conditional redirect compromise. The malicious code likely checks the visitor’s user-agent/device type and only redirects mobile users to a fake casino page, while desktop users continue seeing the legitimate site. This is a common stealth technique used to avoid detection by admins and monitoring systems, which usually access sites from desktop browsers. Technically, this can happen through: injected JavaScript compromised CMS/plugins malicious server-side redirect rules compromised CDN/DNS or third-party scripts Even though the desktop site still works, unauthorized code is influencing live traffic, which means the compromise could potentially be escalated to phishing, malware delivery, or credential theft.
