::: Kenya Airways website hacked:::

The Kenya Airways website has been hacked by a group from Turkey, or so they claim to be, if you visit their link www.kenya-airways.com , you will see that the group has taken over the website and defaced the homepage to reflect their messages.

Please be warned also that there is a virus that will try and install itself into your computer once the page is open, so update your antivirus before opening the website.

This adds to the problems Kenya airways is facing, who will book online if you risk your credit card information falling into the wrong hands?

thanks for the post but you should have put the warning about the virus before giving us the link. Human nature is to click the link first then go back to read the rest of your post.....

btw, website seems normal to me and I didn't get a virus :)

on a lighter note....I see South Africa is starting to suffer from an illness we kenyans are used to and have found a cure...Power rationing:-) Its about time they invested in back-up generators. Teach them bro!!! Careful when you go to cape town and ride on those cable cars...you might end up floating in the air for over 5 hours!!!
And to my kenyan peeps out there, WATU WAPENDANE. STOP THE KILLING.

Good to hear that you are well. It will be nice of you to write a post on Nigeria VS Kenya like you did when in SA.

After watching channel 4 news - here in UK last night, Kibera looked like an posh slum compared to the state of slums in nigeria. Nigeria has oil and its a pity that the country looked like one big slum. Where is their oil money going to? Despite all the the mayhem we've been through after election, we still have a beautiful country yet we don't have any oil like our brodas in Nigeria. Shame on them!

Most African leaders are failures and I'm afraid that what we've seen in Kenya can easily spread throughout Africa if these leaders fail to go back to their drawing tables, come up with long lasting plans which include the majority poor in sharing a countries national wealth.

Sorry for the silence. Am ok. but was a bit overwhelmed in the past month and was hard keeping up with my posts.
Am back though and will do a Nigeria Vs Kenya Vs SA post and also Safaricom post, especially its likely effect on the Kenyan stock market.

Some key developments are the planned merger of the Nigerian and Ghana Stock markets which follows on the planned East Africa stock market. This is the current fad on stock markets.
