Attackers Threaten To Leak Every South African’s Private Financial Data

Attackers claiming to be from N4ughtySec, a cyber extortion gang that reportedly attacked TransUnion last year, have announced they “never left” South Africa. The group said they have had constant access to credit bureaus TransUnion and Experian’s systems and would leak all the data they hold on clients if they are not paid R1.1 billion. Sizwe Dhlomo was joined by Editor of My Broad Band, Jan Vermeulen, to speak about the legitimacy of these threats. They also touched on the recourse for South Africa in this regard.
