Re: Why Zimbabwean websites are increasingly getting hacked (list of hacked sites)

I agree that hacking particularly that of defacement is on increasing. I just don't agree that the percentage of defaced websites out of overall number of sites is increasing.
In terms of African internet servers being used as Zombies or platforms to launch attacks, I think it's not clear in the article (my bad) that that is not the issue being discussed by the article. The article is talking about the recent attacks on many high profile websites that seem to show hacking in the form of defacement, is on the increase.
Other forms of hacking, like stealing data from financial institutions, customer records, etc.. are indeed most likely to be on the increase, especially if prospects on monetizing these efforts become higher.
