Larry Madowo's comments on twitter about security experts

Am suprised that Larry Madowo has commented about there being no security experts in Kenya (or insinuating the same) who can talk to him about Internet security - and I presume, as concerns the defacing of the Kenya Police website ./Ok3ch

And who is Larry Madowo?

I think by security experts he meant he mean't the ones that man gates, or may be the hackers. Maybe we should invite him to a skunkworks event and demostrate whether we meet those "security" requirements.

Funny how only the Kenya Police site got this much attention. On Thu, Jan 6, 2011 at 12:00 PM, Peter Osotsi <peter.osotsi@gmail.com>wrote:

The last time Gawker said this , they got *wned (* insert all alphabetical letters here)

I would be concerned if Madowo was any form of expert. He's not and reports what experts say. He's in the publicity business and with comments like this he's has homeground advantage. Let's not get worked up about it let's help the brother. On 1/6/11, Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com> wrote:

And since he is subscribed to this list, was it so difficult for him to put the same request here? Or these days you get interviewees via Twitter?? On Thu, Jan 6, 2011 at 1:30 PM, Claire Njoki <clairenjoki@gmail.com> wrote:

Hey guys, Am back on the list because I've gathered that a number of my tweets from yesterday were taken out of context even getting my friend PS Ndemo to comment on the original misinformation. I believe this is the tweet that started it: http://twitter.com/#!/LarryMadowo/status/22902836576657408. A short while later, I followed it up with this: http://twitter.com/#!/LarryMadowo/status/22924904814870528. If you read the 2 tweets together (or even individually) you can obviously see that I was trying to speak to a hacker or some other online security pro and I couldn't find any on Twitter. I didn't post it on Skunkworks because I am no longer on the list for different reasons. I put it on my Twitter page because a good number of the 3,600+ people who follow me are techies and have always come through for me in the past. After the second tweet, I did speak to Kahenya Kamunyu, himself a hacker and techie who saw the second tweet and got in touch. The story aired from 1pm on NTV News and is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ayxaRMAsn4 Any casual reading of my tweet clearly indicates that I believed that Kenya indeed has internet security experts. Only that none was available in town and willing to talk to me at that point. I have a lot of respect for Kenyan techies, and there are few Kenyan journalists who cover technology with as much passion and dedication as I do. I hope that this clears things up nicely. In future, I would appreciate that anybody on this list who has something to say about my tweets (or on-air content for that matter) directly emails me for a response.

Not to appear to be flogging a dead horse, Larry, I recall replying to your tweet and asked you to get in touch like a few minutes after your request. Maybe the tweet never reached you, we might never know. But OTOH, I feel we should have more proactive exposure on Cybercrime in the media just the way we do when there is a mobile phone launch or tariff change -tyrus On Fri, Jan 7, 2011 at 7:44 PM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com>wrote:

Larry, welcome back. However I am taken aback by your other 'different reasons' for not being a member of the list. It is true that everyone is going nervous about what they say or do online after wikileaks and continued attacks on government sites across the world. I have seen Moscow autocrats go paranoid and wary of US proprietary technology and acting on recommendations of Kremlin, one Vladimir Putin have signed an executive order that require public institutions to replace all proprietary software, made by US companies like Microsoft, with free Open source software by 2015. The proprietary software are alleged to feature secret back doors that lead directly to Langley and FBI. But yours here may pass as a mere forgetting of the account credentials that you had used to subscribe to the list. On another note, let us beware of net neutrality-that- freedom to do it your way online, when you tell guys to directly email you for response, just as it is to media freedom. We have seen it with Jullian Assange taking his own medicine, accusing Guardian of leaking the police investigations report of his Case.
