Cybersecurity Attacks Increase As Kenyans Ignore The New Data Protection Act

Cybersecurity attacks have increased as Kenyans ignore the new data protection act.

It’s been a year since the data protection act was passed and yet a majority of Kenyans still don’t understand how it works or even know it actually exists. While more Kenyans are working from home there have been a lot more cyber crimes and little been done about it. In 2019, 29 million cybersecurity crimes were reported yet in 2020 50 million crimes in this sector were reported.
