[kictanet] Government website Hacking incident a crying shame

[Brian Munyao Longwe]

The fact that a student on a hacking/computer security course could hack
into and deface more than 100 Government of Kenya websites* in one
night(!)*is a crying shame. In addition to that, the fact that it
seems all or most
of these sites were hosted on a single server is a travesty of best
practice.

Is it so difficult for GoK to invite (readily available) information
security experts to design and implement a suitable online information
framework for public government websites?

Shaking my head,

Brian
