In a bizarre turn of events, Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro’s Facebook account fell victim to a hacker takeover, causing quite a stir in the online realm.
Nyoro, a prominent figure in Kenyan politics with a massive following, revealed the cyber intrusion on his X account with a mix of concern and determination to regain control.
Addressing the unsettling incident that occurred on January 1, the Kenya Kwanza lawmaker acknowledged the breach, assuring his 500,000-plus followers that efforts were underway to recover the compromised account.
However, the hackers, not content with a mere takeover, shamelessly posted explicit videos on the page’s story section, triggering a wave of reactions across social media platforms.
Kileleshwa MCA Robert Alai couldn’t help but express astonishment at the unexpected turn of events, questioning how Ndindi Nyoro’s Facebook page had transformed into a platform for explicit content.
“Ndindi Nyoro’s Facebook page just serving porn huko kwa stories. Awuoro!” exclaimed Alai, capturing the disbelief that reverberated among netizens.
Embakasi East MP Babu Owino added another layer to the saga, revealing that the audacious hackers had gone a step further by reaching out to him with a direct message, attempting to coerce him into sending them money.
“Ndindi Nyoro’s Facebook account has been hacked, and the hackers are inboxing me to send them some money,” Owino disclosed, shedding light on the extent of the cyber breach.
Blogger Dennis Itumbi joined the chorus, confirming the unfortunate incident and cautioning the public against giving credence to any fresh updates originating from the compromised page.
“Please take note that hackers have taken control of the FB profile of Ndindi Nyoro and the official page of Ndindi Nyoro,” Itumbi warned, emphasizing the ongoing efforts to reclaim and restore the pages.
Despite the gravity of the situation, a quick inspection of the lawmaker’s page revealed that, surprisingly, the hackers had refrained from posting anything controversial, except for the explicit content in the stories section.
The last two posts on the Facebook page, shared with its impressive 562,000 followers, included a heartfelt Happy New Year message posted on January 1, 2024.
The saga continues as Nyoro and his team work tirelessly to reclaim his virtual stronghold from the clutches of these audacious hackers.
