<p></p><p></p><p>Seems like there is a new way to make money in town…..if you can hack
into the dysfunctional Higher Educations Loans Board (Helb) website,
you are good to go!</p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)"><strong>How do they do it?</strong> </span>A new investigation by <em>The People</em>
reveals that the operators hack the systems, retrieve blank
application forms and sell them to graduate students at Sh430 inclusive
of printing charges.</p>
<p>Keeping in mind that we have 40, 000 of the 50,000 students who are
eligible for Helb loans, the hackers who operate the cyber cafes <span id="more-14182"></span>around Nairobi are anticipating of make around Sh17.2 million!</p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)"><strong>And this is how it is done,</strong></span>
the student fill the downloaded forms which they later return to the
hackers for filling into the HELB data bank and just like that you are
eligible for a HELB loan!</p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)"><strong>Two questions arise in all of this confusion,</strong> </span></p>
<p>1.Are the officials involved in all of this?</p>
<p>2.And how are the attendants able to access and perform the operations?</p>
<p>And since we all know how the process of getting hard copies from the
Helb offices can be tedious that will be the main reason why students
will be going to the hackers for an ‘easy way out’</p>
<p>They will follow this newly introduced method in town which is
already booming with a chain of the business fast developing in
residential areas around Kenyatta University main campus on Thika Road.</p>
<p>“I am just forced to take the next option which is to risk to see
what future holds a month after admission,” says a Kenyatta University
student who identified himself as Peter.</p>
<p>“It is risky we understand, but we have no choice. Only hell knows
when the sites will be active,” said another student who sought
anonymity.</p>
