Among those impacted were the ministries of Health, Education, Labour, Environment, ICT, Tourism, Energy, Water, and Interior. State House,
The Hustler Fund portal and Nairobi County’s official site, among others, were similarly disrupted.
Visitors to the affected sites were greeted with defaced pages carrying white supremacist messages, including “Access denied by PCP,” “We will rise again,” “White power worldwide,” and “14:88 Heil Hitler,” a code commonly associated with neo-Nazi ideology.
The attack replaced legitimate content with offensive messages, leaving thousands of Kenyans unable to access routine government services.
