Over half of firms operating the .co.ke web domain, mostly small and medium enterprises, experienced heightened cyber attacks in the three months to September in the latest sign of how local companies are under relentless attack from hackers.

The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) in its latest review shows over 50 percent of the 87,800 firms that own the .co.ke reported password breaches and insider threats, which also affected other companies with domains such as .com.
