[kictanet] The Perfect Weapon: How Russian Cyberpower Invaded the U.S. - The New York Times

[Mwendwa Kivuva]

Ali,

I hope we are not forgetting the allegations that state agents actually
solicited to be hacked. Remember the controversy of the hacking team?

I remember the street protests that followed the late Minister Michuki's
remarks, "you cannot rape a woman who is already too willing". Is Kenya
already too willing?

Regards
