Hi Victor, Thank you for sharing this update. The reported data breach at BRS and the takeover of KBC’s X account raise serious concerns, not just about immediate security risks but also about the broader implications for data integrity, public trust, and regulatory response. A few critical questions arise from these incidents: What immediate assurances can be provided to businesses and individuals whose data may be exposed? What vulnerabilities led to these breaches, and are similar risk windows open in other government systems? What steps are being taken to ensure transparency and timely communication with affected entities? How do these incidents shape the conversation around strengthening cybersecurity frameworks across both public and private sectors? Given the growing frequency and sophistication of cyber threats, a clear action plan is essential to prevent recurrence, reinforce public confidence, and ensure accountability. I look forward to further updates on the ongoing investigations and any measures being considered to close security gaps. Kind regards, Mutindi Advocate| CIPM| CIPT| CDPS On Sun, Feb 2, 2025 at 8:41 PM Victor Kapiyo via KICTANet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

If they can hack such entities it means there is great need for the stakeholders in the CSO sector to be sensitized on how to strengthen their data systems. If the same hackers decide to manipulate data and use those social media, how will we protect the citizens from fake news and misinformation? This is very crucial as we continue engaging on data protection. With regards, On Sun, Feb 2, 2025 at 8:42 PM Victor Kapiyo via KICTANet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

That's a good question Sidney. Apart from addressing vulnerabilities, a freemium structure might eliminate the incentive to hack and steal data. Most searches citizens make for proprietor/CR12 are imposed on them to confirm only the basic ownership info. Proposal -------------- ° [Free Tier] to offer business name and names of shareholders only; which is a common confirmation search. ° [Premium Tier] for a more granular insights of contact info, ID & nationality details, physical address, share allocation, beneficial owner etc that a minority have interest in. Overall, a government agency should simply bill for API queries of confidential data instead of requiring applicants to download/scan then upload an ID, PIN or CR12 form.

My two cents, B2Bhint either chose to proceed cautiously due to the potential risk of legal action, or they were attempting to create leverage to compel BRS to initiate contact and negotiate a settlement.

Someone very very very powerful was not happy with the data dump from the Business Registration Service (BRS) where you could search all the companies registered in Kenya. All records on Kenyan companies on b2bhint have been deleted. Read more here https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/bd/corporate/technology/moldovan-firm-de...

That's a good question Sidney. Apart from addressing vulnerabilities, a freemium structure might eliminate the incentive to hack and steal data. Most searches citizens make for proprietor/CR12 are imposed on them to confirm only the basic ownership info.
Proposal -------------- ° [Free Tier] to offer business name and names of shareholders only; which is a common confirmation search.
° [Premium Tier] for a more granular insights of contact info, ID & nationality details, physical address, share allocation, beneficial owner etc that a minority have interest in.
Overall, a government agency should simply bill for API queries of confidential data instead of requiring applicants to download/scan then upload an ID, PIN or CR12 form.

Now that the data is out there, I have a question. Why isn’t this data out there for free hosted by our government? We’re charged 500 bob for each search yet here is a company able to do so for free.

The Business Registration Service (BRS) is acknowledging reports of a potential data breach affecting company registry information and has initiated a full investigation, notifying relevant authorities while working with cybersecurity experts to assess the situation and implement necessary security measures; they assure stakeholders that data security is a top priority and will provide updates once the investigation is complete, urging patience and cooperation from affected parties.

On a similar note, our national broadcaster KBC lost its account on X (@KBCChannel1), which has been renamed by the hackers.
