<body class='hmmessage'>GG,<br/><br/>I still feel this is sensationalism and not objective at all, recently there was hue and cry when the 101 .go.ke websites were hacked and I raised this point that we turn a blind eye to efforts being made locally and shout when problems occur, if you saw the reactions on social media you would agree with the point I am raising the perception out there is not the reality, having been involved in several initiatives dealing with Cybersecurity issues I can attest to the fact that there is resistance and one of the efforts we have been making is to create awareness with the right kind of information, I suppose the media has a moral obligation to do the same, I know our perceptions may be different but let's debate objectively. This article raises pertinent issues which we must embrace as a sector but what was posted on social media did not.<div>Sent from my BlackBerry�</div><hr/><div><b>From: </b> Grace Githaiga <ggithaiga@hotmail.com>
