SHIELD

A female graduate of a state polytechnic in Nigeria discovered that an impersonator had used her personal credentials and matriculation number to register on the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) online registration portal. Her institution attributed the issue to a database breach by a hacker who manipulated mobilization records. As a result of this incident, the graduate was blocked from completing her mandatory national service, causing her severe distress and delaying her from obtaining a required employment certificate.
