[kictanet] Fraud at KENIC?

Fri Jan 26 09:39:16 EAT 2018

Barrack,
While I understand and appreciate your concerns that allegations had to be
addressed and for me I find that asking questions through here often leads
to prompt responses rather than reaching out to the organisations
concerned. We discuss allegations on here all the time.

As for the personal data, that might have been a misstep on my part but I
think they were necessary to prove the overall point of the allegations, as
Harry's question below proves. No one asked how I got hold of the document
but I assure you that it had been circulating in various circles so it was
already in the public domain. Perhaps the question should be why KENICs
systems are so vulnerable to such leaks.
