A hacker who is now in control of Kabarak University Official Facebook page has now demanded $500 (Ksh 68,250) to give back the page to the university.
Posting on the page, the hacker said his offer was quite low for such an institution and therefore they shouldn’t have problems to comply.
“I also have another option, you guys just give me 500$ , and I’ll bring this page back, the offer is cheap for a big university.”He wrote.
The hacker who claimed to be an IT student from Jakarta, Indonesia, was on Saturday against returning the page,but now he seems to have just changed his mind.
“I will not return this account, but I challenge all of you to reclaim this account immediately. Regards a student from one of Jakarta’s IT-based high schools.”He wrote on the page on Saturday.
Kabarak Universitys Facebook account was seized by hackers who have been using it to spread misleading images and content in the past three days.
However, a statement released by the university’s Vice Chancellor, Prof. Henry Kiplangat assured all stakeholders that all necessary measures have been taken to regain control of the page and prevent any further unauthorized access.
“We want to assure our stakeholders and the general public that we are taking all necessary measures to regain control of our page and prevent any further unauthorized access.”The statement read in part.
