08 Jan '21

Dear Listers, We are conducting a baseline study to find out the level of cyber hygiene in the country. Please could you kindly find time to respond to the survey questionnaire provided on the link below. We are doing this survey on behalf of the ICT Authority. The survey link is https://forms.gle/UYJ6d3jstfjwFU1o6 Your response will be highly appreciated Thanks Lawrence Dinga, CISSP Inspire Africa Initiative __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dear Participant, Greetings and I trust you are well. As may be aware, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and the Internet have permeated today’s lifestyle and have transformed how individuals, businesses, and governments produce and receive information. We see ICT driving manufacturing, banking, health, education, and almost every sector of our economy. ICT has enabled us to exchange information and transact business with people from every corner of Kenya and even globally quickly and inexpensively. The Government of Kenya through various initiatives is moving services closer to the people through the use of ICT platforms such as e-citizen. However, ICT has also opened new opportunities for criminals to use modern technology to harm individuals, organizations, businesses, and society. Citizens, as well as businesses, have lost millions of shillings to computer-savvy criminals. These losses are due to the fact that the criminals are taking the advantage of the lack of awareness by the general population regarding the risks when using ICT and the Internet. This survey aims to find out some of the vulnerabilities users of ICT and the Internet experience when they go online. The intention is to create awareness among users by providing relevant information to enhance their capacity to protect themselves online.

Dear listers, Has anyone else been experiencing difficulties with Signet? What happened to ADN and Bamba? ADN seems to have only one two channels while Bamba is missing in action.... Asking here because Signet doesn't seem to have any presence where consumers can give feedback. Are they here? -- Grace Mutung'u Skype: gracebomu @Bomu PGP ID : 0x33A3450F
