Kenya’s presidential website was defaced on July 18, 2026, with an anti-government message and a five-BTC (~$330,000) ransom demand; access was temporarily restricted while the ICT Authority and partners conducted containment, forensic analysis and restoration, and authorities reported no evidence of sensitive data exfiltration as the investigation continues.
