I would have thought ANY badly configured application would be vulnerable; be it M$, linux, unix, mac, etc.

Hi,

most hackings on kenyan sites are either due to poor passwords or badly configured open source applications , all larry has to do is ask the people who work with these applications on a daily basis.

we do have some very qualified people with knowledge on internet security.

regards

Fabian

of the Kenya Police website
