Not many Kenyans do understand the importance of Info-security and they ignore it as long as machines are running and so is business, and what is happening in seclist is what happens when hackers and security guys start hating on each other. Yes we have been at war with r00t@bsd guys, all over and over again. Back in 2005 there was such a greater fight than the one going on right now. The last post by some cop, shows we have people listening in Govt, so infosec guys need to be careful, blackhats and script kiddles too. Organizations need to know we are in new era of technology and information, hacking, information leaking, Business espionage and others are real. They need to protect their clients wherever possible. ./Chuks On 8/11/09, Areba Collins <arebacollins@gmail.com> wrote:
Personally i think its childish to waste time name calling and issuing threats when you are unable to protect your systems. First reason you exist as a security guy is those same people you are insulting. On this one im with the unknown heroes like root@bsd et al.

chuks, I just read the thread regarding the kplc site, including the threats... Wooaaa! Me now knows not to host locally until SPs get it right. How bad is the situation on security on the kenyan www? And are critical sectors like banking, emergency services etc all upto date or do they not listen?
Which reminds me, I need to query the bank about its security plans when they offer email statements and online banking. I think without such info, there is no need for people to offer e-services if there are many exploits that soften the systems.
You seem to be better position to discuss this.
