Get insights to the demand-side perspective of digital access and usage in Kenya.

It creates a detailed account of how digital services support and impact people’s lives; people’s satisfaction and concerns of using digital services; the depth of digital exclusion and challenges people continue to face in accessing and using digital services; and, finally, the enabling resources, applications /services, and the supporting ecosystem required to deepen people’s participation in the digital economy - https://bit.ly/DigitalEconKE *Regards,* *Mbugua Njihia* Entrepreneur in pursuit of opportunities without regard to resources currently controlled #WhatIsNext #AfricaRising.

This presentation highlights some tooling that can automate these regular renewals, ensuring certificates stay valid without need for a human operator.

Rwanda jails 8 Kenyans in Equity Bank hacking case
by Mwendwa Kivuva 08 Jul '21

08 Jul '21

Eight Kenyans arrested in Rwanda for hacking Equity Bank have been handed eight-year jail terms and fined Sh5.6 million. The eight are part of a 12-man gang arrested in 2019 by the Rwandan Investigation Bureau (RIB) that included three Rwandese nationals and a Ugandan. Regional security teams had trailed the gang linked to bank hacking attempts in Kenya and Uganda and had notified Rwandan officials when they set up shop there. The members of an organised group were arrested while hacking into Equity Bank accounts and funnelling the cash to Rwandans to draw out funds through Eazzy banking and ATMs. “The court tendered the verdict on the five charges; unauthorised access to s computer or a computer system data; access to data with intent to commit an offence; unauthorised modification of computer or computer system data; theft; and formation of or joining a criminal association,” Taarifa Rwanda reported. The hackers operating with insiders to identify targets with huge deposits tried to intercept the lender’s 14 branch network and wrote computer scripts to move money to several local accounts of accomplices. They attempted hacking using the Eazzy banking platform, which the bank and security agents intercepted since they had been alerted on their operations, including the recruitment of Rwandans they would use to take cash out of the accounts. The Rwandan convictions come in the wake of increased cybercrime activities in the region with security experts calling for collaboration to nab networks of cross border cartels wreaking havoc in financial institutions. At home, Kenya’s highly digitised economy linked with mobile money through telcos and banks has made the country a target for cybercrime and online fraud.

28 Jun '21

Do you believe in digital equality and recognise the need for data justice to underpin the adoption of advanced technologies for them to be truly developmental and transformative? Are you interested in how, as a continent and globally, we can promote Just AI – and in conducting research on how this can be achieved through ensuring rights-preserving regulatory frameworks? How can we create a safe, secure, and trusted environment for the developmental application of AI and what economic and social regulations are required to ensure a better distribution of the opportunities for innovation as well as mitigation of risks associated with the uneven impacts of known harms? RIA’s Africa AI4D Policy Project invites applications for fellowships of three, six or 12 months. The research agenda for the next three months will focus on Just AI in three thematic areas: - Sustainable development and the circular economy - Security and trust - Data and algorithmic governance *How do I apply?* Applicants should submit, by 7 July 2021: - a CV of max two pages long plus list of publications, - the names of two references, - two recent writing examples (no older than one year) – one academic and one informal in style, and - a motivation/cover letter, including a research idea of relevance to AI policy in Africa.

Listers, For the techies in the group, I am sharing this on behalf of the Kenya Network Operators Group Programme Committee. Greetings, Trust all are well. See details of the next tutorial below: RPKI (Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) is an infrastructure to improve the security of the Internet's routing infrastructure. By implementing RPKI in your network, you take a significant step in preventing your Internet resources and presence from being hijacked by malicious users and also protect your customers/consumers from being directed away from your services by imposters. But how does RPKI work and how is it implemented? Please join the KeNOG tutorial on RPKI where our guest speaker Mark Tinka - Head of Engineering at Seacom - will walk us through RPKI. The tutorial will be on the 7th of July 2021 at 2PM Kenya time. Registration link: https://nog.ke/tutorials Regards Kevin -- Barrack O.

[cid:PQkUb5krUWgSBFqfj7niwWomenLeadershipENG_gif]<https://au.int/en/women-leadership-book> Dear Sir/ Madam, Many countries in Africa have made it a high priority to focus on developing cybercrime laws and policies capable to efficiently criminalize illegal cybercrime acts and allow effective international cooperation between criminal justice authorities, in line with international standards.
