The National Development Implementation Technical Committee’s (NDITC) online page has been defaced by the same hacker group (allegedly) that just intruded IFMIS website. This makes it the second government-related website to see attacks from online criminals who take advantage of security lapses to toy with sites.
Note: the National Development Implementation Technical Committee was created alongside the National Development Implementation and Communication Cabinet Committer, 8 Regional Development Implementation Coordination Committees, as well as 47 County Development Implementation Coordination Committees.
These groups have one primary goal: deliver and oversee the implementations of the National Government Development Programmes and Projects in Kenya.
Unlike IFMIS website which has seen been relegated to maintenance before service restoration, the current culprit is still displaying the works of a hacker group calling itself Kurd Electronics Team. This is an embarrassing scenario, to say the least, and will land the team behind the development of the sites in trouble.
In the past, and this is entirely theoretical, developers have been known to deface websites they created to protest late or non-payment. While I do not have the details of this hack, it is apparent there is more to it besides showcasing the websites’ vulnerabilities.

Update
Here are most of the websites defaced and hacked by Kurd Electronic Team
17 websites cannot be accessed, among them; NYS, Machakos Assembly, Kenya Meat Commission, JSC, Coffee Kenya, Cohesion and Values, among others.
Update: They have already started fixing the websites. It’s nt exactly fast action but nevertheless. good response. We hope this time they might improve security and atleast add ssl to their websites.
