A little-known Moldovan firm exploited a bug in the IT system of State-owned Business Registration Service (BRS) to access sensitive data of significant shareholders in registered firms—including President William Ruto, the Kenyatta family, and several other prominent investors.
B2bhint, a Moldovan business intelligence firm, was on Monday selling the trove of secret data of significant shareholders in over two million firms, including data on residential addresses, email and phone numbers as well names of beneficial owners for as much as Sh24 million for a package and as little as $0.015 (two shillings) for telephone numbers.
