[kictanet] UoN twitter handle hacked, ransomed demanded in bitcoins!

[Grace Githaiga]

Someone has hacked the twitter handle for UoN https://twitter.com/ict_uonbi, and taken control of it. He has asked for 10BTC and posted the account where the BTC should be sent to. 

The exchange rate is 1 bitcoin is USD 650 https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=10btc+to+%24

Then to demonstrate that this is not a joke,  the person(s) have started posting passwords for different systems and Emails accounts for UoN.

Not sure though if these are the real passwords or its just empty threats.  

It would be interesting to hear from experts.
