Nairobi emerges as Kenya's worst cybercrime hotspot. [File,Standard]
Nairobi has emerged as Kenya's worst cybercrime hotspot, with the capital recording the highest number of digital offences in a new report that urges banks and mobile network operators to strengthen their defences.
The National Computer and Cybercrime Coordination Committee (NC4) released its findings on Tuesday, June 24, citing a rise in cases linked to digital payment fraud, unauthorised access, identity theft, online harassment and false publications.
"The figures show that Nairobi remains the national hotspot for cybercrime, largely reflecting its high levels of digital transactions, online activity and concentration of public and private sector institutions," the report stated.
