CAC says company records remain secure after cyber incident, denies data compromise – Technology Times
The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) says no company data was compromised following a recent cyberattack on its digital portal, rejecting allegations that records of DAAR Communications PLC were manipulated as “false and misleading.”
The Commission says its database remains fully secure and that the integrity of all company records on its portal has not been affected. It states that “no data of any company was manipulated, tampered with, or altered as a result of that incident,” adding that “the integrity of all records on our portal remains intact, secure, and fully protected.”
The clarification follows public attention surrounding DAAR Communications PLC, which the CAC says is unrelated to the cyber incident. According to the Commission, the matter stems from an ongoing ownership dispute that dates back to 2024.
It explains that “shareholders of DAAR Communications PLC have been in dispute over the ownership structure of the company since 2024, as evidenced by a formal complaint submitted to the Commission by one of the shareholders.” The CAC adds that it has invoked its statutory powers to examine the matter and has invited the parties for arbitration proceedings.

CAC cyber incident triggers scrutiny
The CAC had earlier confirmed a cybersecurity incident involving unauthorised access to parts of its digital systems. It says it activated containment measures immediately and that its technical teams commenced a review of the situation.
While maintaining that the breach did not affect the integrity of company records, the incident has drawn public attention to the security of sensitive business data stored on government digital platforms.
The CAC’s database holds incorporation details, ownership structures, and statutory filings for companies operating in Nigeria, positioning it as a critical component of the country’s corporate governance framework.
Following the incident, attention has also shifted to the resilience of Nigeria’s digital regulatory infrastructure as public institutions continue to digitise essential services.
At the centre of the controversy is the ownership dispute involving DAAR Communications PLC. The CAC says the dispute predates the cyber incident and was formally brought before the Commission by one of the shareholders.
The Commission notes that it has engaged both parties in arbitration as part of its dispute resolution mandate and reiterates that the ongoing process is separate from any system security issues.
It also restates that reports suggesting manipulation of registry records as a result of the cyber incident are inaccurate and should be disregarded.
The Commission urges media organisations to ensure accuracy in their reporting and to verify information with relevant authorities before publication.
It warns that publishing unverified claims could create unnecessary panic and undermine public confidence in Nigeria’s corporate registry system.
The CAC says it remains committed to safeguarding its database, strengthening its systems, and ensuring the reliability of its services to businesses and the public.

For Jos Gooners, this is more than an event — it is a celebration of football, community, and Arsenal pride.
Super Eagles’ coach, Eric Sekou Chelle has hinted that he will unleash another ‘surprise package’ on his team’s next opponent at this year’s ongoing Unity Cup in London, Sports247 reports.
Speaking against the backdrop of Tuesday’s 2-0 victory over Zimbabwe in the competition’s opening match at Charlton Athletic FC’s home ground, The Valley, Chelle said he was impressed with what his array of rookies were able to achieve against The Warriors.
While not singling out any of the lads for particular mention, the Franco-Malian tactician admitted he was surprised by the team’s performance, considering that most of the lads were playing together for the first time.
The former coach of Mali’s national team and MC Oran football club of Algeria further hinted that many of those who featured in Tuesday’s game justified their inclusion in the list of invitees and showed that they can even be counted on to feature in the main Nigerian squad.
With his eyes now fully set on Saturday’s final at the same venue, Chelle inferred that he may not roll out the same starting 11, considering that some of Nigeria’s Grade-A players are also in camp and were rested for the opening game in order to give the rookies their own opportunities to shine.
However, Chelle noted further that there’s a strong likelihood of the next clash being against perennial Unity Cup rivals, Jamaica, who dragged the Eagles into penalties’ shootout before Nigeria could win last year’s final at Brentford’s BTech Stadium also in London.
With that in mind, the gaffer is already thinking of tinkering his squad list for the final but, while keeping hid plans close to his chest, Chelle stressed that the enthusiasm of all the lads in camp has made it possible for him to roll out tactical surprises at will.
Chelle said, “I was truly surprised by the performance of the players against Zimbabwe. I was surprised, because they played as if they had been together for six months or one year.
“In reality, it was the first time, but they showed that we can always make surprises happen in the Unity Cup. We are now looking at the next opponent in the final.”
Sports247 gathered that there is a strong possibility that Wilfred Oyinyen Ndidi will captain the squad on Saturday, while Moses Simon and Jerome Akor Adams line out alongside new rave of the moment, Femi Azeez, in attack.
