What you need to know:
The group also defaced the National Environment Trust Fund (Netfund) website
KDF spokesperson Major Emmanuel Chirchir's Twitter account was also hacked
The Twitter account of the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) has been infiltrated by hacking group Anonymous.
The hackers gained access to Kenya’s military account as well as that of KDF spokesperson Major Emmanuel Chirchir and left a series of tweets.
“So much poverty in Africa while you are wasting money in guns,” read one of the messages the group posted on KDF's Twitter account.
KDF spokesperson Major Emmanuel Chirchir said the military was doing all it could to get control of the two accounts.
“We have contacted Twitter and the local security agencies are on top of things,” he said Monday.
The group also defaced the website of the National Environment Trust Fund (Netfund).
Netfund's website was restored Monday morning.
Netfund is under the Ministry of Environment and was established to mobilise funds for environmental management, capacity building, environmental awards and environmental publications.
