The government has confirmed hackers took over the President's official website on Saturday, defacing its homepage and demanding a Sh41.3 million ransom.
The attackers, who demanded five bitcoins, threatened to leak unspecified information if the payment was not made by 6 p.m.
Visitors to president.go.ke were met with a message reading, "This message is the third time for you before we leak everything about you," and demanding payment "if you want peace before 6 o'clock this evening," said the defaced page.
