The hacker who stole billions from KRA and got away with it.

Описание: Alex Mutungi Mutuku, the IT guru who is currently the talk of town following an alleged cybercrime that has resulted into a loss of Sh4 billion from Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), is not new to controversy.
The University of Nairobi Information Systems graduate hit the headlines in early 2015 as part of a duo accused of hacking into systems at NIC Bank and Safaricom.
It was reported that Alex and his accomplice stole Sh2.88 million at NIC Bank head office in Nairobi.
Alex has now been accused of causing the loss of Sh4 billion from KRA by interfering with computer systems between March 2015 and March 2017. Mutuku did not plead to the charges as cybercrime officers asked that he be detained for 40 days to conclude investigations and arrest more suspects.
Investigations indicate that he had connections to a syndicate outside the country. Chief magistrate Francis Andayi ordered that Mutuku be detained until March 28.
In an interview with a local daily in 2015, Mutuku described himself as a self-employed software developer who sells applications on Google Playstore for survival without delving into details.
Just days before the NIC case, Mutuku attempted suicide by slitting his wrists after his girlfriend cheated on him.
In a suicide note, which was published online, the 28-year-old revealed that he had been in a six-year relationship with a young woman he identified as Delvine, and that they were even engaged.
