Woofun AI reports that the official website of Kenyan President William Ruto was hacked on July 18, resulting in a temporary paralysis and homepage defacement. Attackers demanded 5 Bitcoin as ransom, threatening to leak unspecified information if the payment was not made by Saturday evening.

Cabinet Secretary William Kabogo confirmed that the ICT Authority has activated its cybersecurity response protocol. Public access to the portal has been restricted to facilitate forensic investigation. Authorities stated there is currently no evidence of unauthorized access to sensitive data or information loss, with government systems remaining operational. A Hong Kong technical team is collaborating with external partners to restore the site and identify the breach cause.
