I am sure that there are some uber evil black hats here in Kenya, but I will believe it when some Kenyan dude or dudette gets extradited to the US for hacking NSA, FBI or the DOD. I wonder of what benefit hacking MPESA would have, apart from the street cred. Why would they have a webserver? Kwani can one transact mpesa via HTTP?

Guys guys, for the underground i have been, and for the love of code, nothing is secure 90%. Those boxes of M-pesa i know of, can be taken down anytime. Much more secure system that these, are hacked everytime, what matters is, who are the guys protecting them and who set them up? On 8/3/09, Peter Karunyu <pkarunyu@gmail.com> wrote:

Yeah, agents have access to control transactions thru web server. One of the ways you can reverse a transaction.. Sent from my iPhone On Aug 3, 2009, at 6:06 PM, Peter Karunyu <pkarunyu@gmail.com> wrote:

Why would they have a webserver? Kwani can one transact mpesa via HTTP?

I can confirm there were some issues with MPESA during the weekend and I happen to be one of the victim though not loosing money, transaction delay and failing to send things like balance of which safcom kept sending me text messages until whole thing was sorted this morning... and another text apologising and asking me to confirm whether my account is ok which is still fine....

Damn- I stand corrected, we have been hit ! Mpesa customers are not very happy... some think the mpesa agents are responsible ! It's hard to reassure them that their money ain't lost. safcom say that they are working on it round the clock. What happened ?
