Breaking: Ghana’s Ministry of Health Website Hacked for Using Stolen WordPress Theme


No one likes to see his website taken down by hackers. This is why a lot of individuals and organizations spend a lot of time and money protecting their website against hackers.

Theme developers always do their possible best in terms of security to prevent their software (themes) from being attacked by hackers.

When one fails to pay for a theme and resort to using null, pirated and stolen themes, it hurt developers so much that they would do their possible best to get that site down.

This is the same case for the Ministry of Health.

At exactly 1:00 pm PC Boss Online checked the Ministry of Health website and a notice showing that the website is using an illegal version of the popular Jannah Theme poped up.

Jannah Theme only cost $45 and we are wondering why the Ministry of Health could not afford such a cheap theme.

To check if the theme is registered, the developers seem to rely on some code in the the theme. If the website got the theme through illegal means, the developers deface the website instantly.

As the chief editor of PC Boss and a member of Accra WordPress Meetup group, I hope this issue is resolved fast, at least for the love of the country.

However, website designers in Ghana and organizations should learn the act of buying themes through legal means to avoid instances like this.
