The image on Nile Breweries Ltd’s homepage is a person in a black hood which is usually associated to online hackers as shown above. In a message the hacker said;
This is a message to Nile Breweries. I have gone through your servers and discovered that you have sitting on a beer formula. So here is my demand- Produce this beer immediately, of the formula goes public. You have 24 hours.
We await to hear an official response from Nile Breweries Ltd as senior management is still deciding on a way forward.
