The first casuality to draw the attention of turkish hackers to our territory was the ease with which the website of the ministry of defence of Uganda was attacked early this year, with attackers posting anti-Israel statements. The website is yet to come online again since it was attacked.

Website security being expensive to implement and always not taken as a issue of paramount importance during the website planning process, many hackers will continually find it easy to hack important government websites. Unless the website designers wake up to the realities of implementing Internet and website security techniques, this may well be the beginning of a mass attack on websites in Africa.
