The website of Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI) has been hacked and defaced with pornographic materials.
The ‘hackers’ who gained unauthorised access to the Kenyan government agency’s website around 2:00 pm on Thursday, May 26, 2022, aggregated pornographic material from different adult sites.
KARI shortly managed to pull down the x-rated content from its website as netizens started sharing screenshots of the cyberattack that left their site defaced.
This is not the first time that a Kenyan government organization has been hacked. In 2019 the National Development Implementation and Technical Communication (NDICT) and ICT Authority-run Integrated Financial Management Information Systems (IFMIS) were hacked by Indonesian hackers.
A team calling itself Kurd Electronic Team left a series of incomprehensible text on the IFMIS website and disabled its functionality.
