Gor Mahia Football Club’s Facebook page was some years back hacked and turned into a love affair group with the new name “Love Kenya.”
The page, which had more than two million followers, was initially the official Gor Mahia page but was later taken over by individuals who started posting matters about love.
This incident has sparked outrage among the club’s fans, who are disappointed by the takeover. The football club has never issued an official statement regarding the matter.
Gor Mahia, which was founded in 1968, is one of the oldest and most successful football clubs in Kenya. It has a large following, not only in Kenya but also in other African countries. This hack acted as significant blow to the club’s reputation.
Social media has become an essential tool for football clubs to connect with their fans and promote their brand. This unfortunate incident highlights the importance of securing social media accounts to prevent unauthorized access. It is not yet clear who was behind the hack or why the page was turned into a love affair group.
The Gor Mahia’s incident highlights the need for organizations to take extra measures to secure their social media accounts to avoid unauthorized access and possible reputational damage.
