CAC Suspends Registration Portal After Cyberattack Hits Millions of Records

The Corporate Affairs Commission has temporarily shut down its online company registration portal after a cyberattack compromised millions of business records. The suspension began on April 17 and will last until early April 20. During this period, services such as company registration, name reservation, and statutory filings will be unavailable. The commission is collaborating with the National Information Technology Development Agency and the Data Protection Commission to investigate the breach and strengthen its systems. Scheduled maintenance will also include security upgrades to prevent future incidents. Stakeholders are urged to stay calm and patient as the portal is restored. Full services will resume once checks and enhancements are complete, with improved safeguards to protect user data.
