[kictanet] Ring of bank hackers busted - Daily Nation

[kanini mutemi]

This reactionary approach is quite ridiculous. I bet you the prosecutors
will have a hard time even proving the crime. Some wouldn't even know what
malware is. Now start explaining Salami to them.

Well it's commendable CA seems to be doing something in this space
http://www.nation.co.ke/news/Communication-Authority-open-centre-to-combat-cyber-crime/1056-3405682-5hjk2pz/index.html

However, why open a centre for the sole purpose of reporting and
investigating claims? Proactivity would be a better approach. The irony is
how the CIA has taken this 'precautionary approach' to the next level as
seen with the wikileaks dump.
