It now turns out that the twitter account of NBS TV host Samson Kasumba was on Wednesday hacked, prompting quick action to reclaim it by the broadcaster’s tech team.
A statement from NBS’s PRO Desire Derekford Mugumisa stated that, ” A few hours ago, @SamsonKasumba’s account was hacked, and some inappropriate content was shared. Our digital team, headed by @deejahn, has since sorted the issue. We sympathize with Sam. Apologies to those that look up to him that had to see that.”
The TV host announced that an investigation had been launched. “Special thanks to our social media team that has handled this very well and a full investigation is on. I have been further educated on cyber security which I am grateful for. The rest is up to every individual to make what they will of who I am am a human being. Thanks all.”
The issue of the hacking came to light when two critics accused Kasumba of hypocrisy, hours after a tweet in which he questioned Ugandan youth’s perception of life, and their ethics. In a tweet, “Fine Boy Kera” had pointed out that among Kasumba’s twitter LIKES was a porn twitter account, while “Fer Rouq” charged that ” Samson is busy insulting a whole generation while watching Twitter Porn.”
