Kenyan Government Websites Hacked and Defaced with Neo-Nazi and White Supremacist Messages

A major cyberattack has crippled the digital infrastructure of the Kenyan government, with the office of the president’s official website and several associated portals experiencing disruption.

The attack, which includes the President’s official digital platform and the Ministry of Education, has taken a deeply concerning turn as hackers have defaced pages with neo-Nazi and white supremacist propaganda.

The defacement, revealed through screenshots circulating online (showing “14:88, Heil Hitler” and “White power world wide!”), indicates a sinister ideological motive behind the breach. This elevates the incident beyond a typical cyberattack, raising urgent questions about the perpetrators and the potential for a targeted hate campaign.

Presidential website targeted and defaced

The most alarming aspect of the attack is the confirmed inaccessibility and defacement of the official website for the Office of the President. Images show command-line interfaces on affected sites displaying hateful messages, suggesting a deliberate attempt to propagate extremist ideology within Kenya’s digital space.

Unaffected ministries

While the core administrative and security portals remain compromised, checks confirm that some ministry websites have not been affected by the attack and remain fully operational. This suggests that the attackers may have focused their efforts on a specific, interconnected server cluster or domain linked primarily to administrative functions, rather than the entire government network.

Public Outrage

Public reaction has been swift and overwhelmingly negative, with many Kenyans expressing outrage and disappointment at the Kenyan government for not being able to protect its websites.

This is a developing story and will be updated as official details are released.
