There is a lot of irony in the websites that are being targeted by hackers today.
It is ironical that the Kenya Police website was hacked into and it seems the hacker was sending out a message about his prowess.
A second hacker apparently also managed to hack into the same site and the two managed to carry on a debate about their prowess on the home page.
What makes this story so ironical is that the two hackers managed to hack into the website of Kenya’s security organ.
Recently a hacker also hacked into the page of the Facebook founder raising questions about the site’s security despite reassurances about its safety as a site.
E-commerce is definitely the best way of doing business today but just how safe is it?
Recently some tricksters created fake websites of Kenya’s leading companies with a bid to duping job seekers. Obviously this has had a bad dent on the companies “image”.
A few years back a vindictive person managed to create a fake website of a leading Kenya law firm and went on to post possibly defamatory statements about the law firm on the fake website.
The level of cyber crime in Kenya is taking a worrying trend.
Perhaps cyber criminals do not have a clue that they are committing crimes and view their actions as harmless fun when it is actually criminal.
What is so wrong if a suspicious spouse or parent buys spy ware software and uses that to track all information going in or out of the users’ mobile phone or computer?
What is wrong with an employer or a private investigator doing the same thing?
It may not seem morally wrong after all it is your moral right but legally it is actually a crime.
What is so wrong in using your computer skills to find out more about your competitor’s business methods after all you are a computer whizz and perhaps that is why you were hired in the first place?
The law is clear, all the above constitute offences under our communication laws.
