So why is this happening to big companies like Standard Media..by the way even Government of Kenya ‘s websites?
The basic explanation is that we got fast internet in Kenya but nobody invested or investing in security, people still think it is business as usual. No kidding here ,ask my friend Idd Salim about hacking going around and you will understand the full scale of the security challenges facing most companies. The big problem is, most of them don’t know that. I guess even Standard Media might have no idea that their website is …. a horror movie
