February 2015. Undisclosed location in Nairobi. Alex Mutuku allegedly gains access to Safaricom’s #ticker:SCOM convergent billing system by interfering with the company’s computer system.
At the end of the incursion, the telco loses Sh3.6 million worth of airtime through irregular top-ups by different mobile numbers. Two weeks later on March 9, Mutuku strikes again, obviously emboldened by his luck. This time, he allocates himself airtime amounting to Sh20,000 from the service provider.
