NTVUganda story
Don’t look at the details of McKinnon and his extradition battle etc.
(picture also from NTVUganda.co.ug)
This is what is important:
“Kenya’s Cabinet Secretary for Information Fred Matiang’i estimates that the country lost nearly Ksh2 billion ($22.56 million) to cyber crime, with close to 1,000 Kenyans falling victim to Internet fraud on a daily basis.”
There are a lot more details of cyber crime and how the governement is trying to fight back. Insiders stealing is also a problem in Kenya.
The real problem is this is just one country that has not figured out the cyber war inside its borders with an out of control cyber crime wave.
There are many other countries with similar Cyber crime problems. And since we are all connected to the Internet it is as if we are living in the bad neighborhoods with all the crime right next to us. All it takes is for a cyber gang to advance to a method of cyber attack and then take it to an international level. (this is what has happened in eastern Europe and some parts of China).
