Although the hackers did contact the city asking for 4 bitcoins in ransom while threatening to release sensitive data. There’s no indication of what information has been stolen or how this breach occurred.
This left the city’s information systems compromised. To further rub salt in the wound, attacks also breached the City of Johannesburg’s network on the 23 of October.
It should be noted, however, that this was later identified to be a multi-jurisdictional attack that targeted multiple countries. According to SABRIC, an unknown group sent a ransom note to the banks’ staff’s public email addresses along with the attack. The next big cyberattack targeted numerous local banks with DDoS attacks that overwhelmed services like online and mobile banking. All the service providers managed to get their services back to normal, but some (including Afrihost and Webafrica) were hit again a couple of days later. Sections of Liquid Telecom’s network were affected in the attack as well. Those affected included Atomic Access, Cool Ideas, Webafrica, Afrihost, and Axxess.

On 19 October, a series of DDoS attacks targeted various ISPs, bringing connectivity down to a snail’s pace for their customers. The Biggest Cyber Threats Plaguing SA Right Now
Here’s a look at which threats the country is facing right now and what the general public (i.e., everyone) can do to safeguard themselves. Not in the least South African citizens whose personal data is at constant risk of being snatched by dubious actors from far away. It has placed a bright neon sign on the fact that no one is safe in today’s digitally-entrenched world. The past month has been tough for South Africa as multiple major institutions across both the private and public sectors were hit by cyberattacks. We have already developed extensive subsurface and above-ground insight in the region.” We will progressively grow our exploration and production portfolio in Africa, with West Africa representing a key pillar of our upstream strategy. Yevi said: “We remain focused on delivering value through safe operational execution, and we are hopeful that this is just the first of many positive steps toward our goal of organic production and reserves growth. The well adds additional resources between 2.5 to 10.5 million barrels of oil as published by Vaalco our partner and operator of the fields.” Yevi said: “This successful Etame 9P is the first of many appraisal opportunities that have been identified as the potential to create substantial organic value growth for our shareholders. Offshore Gabon, Sasol has about 30% non-operating interest in the Etame Marin Permit and last week, the Etame 9P appraisal well was successfully drilled to a total depth of 10,260 feet (3,127 metres) and discovered additional oil in both the Gamba and Dentale oil sands. This has resulted in Sasol committing to a 71% of procurement spend with Mozambique-owned suppliers and a 50% reduction in spend with foreign suppliers.” “A plan was co-created with the Government of Mozambique on local content to help drive the growth of local businesses through Sasol’s sustainable operations. Speaking during a media conference at Africa Oil Week, Senior Vice President for Sasol E&PI, Gilbert Yevi said: “Sasol has sustained over 300 permanent jobs since inception across various businesses and over 90% of the Sasol Mozambique workforce are Mozambicans. Sasol’s capital investment of over $3 billion, day-to-day operations, social investment and skills development have made a significant impact with over 6% contribution to Mozambique’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the period 2004 to 2018 and is also a significant contributor to the national fiscus with $495 million in taxes. In Mozambique, Sasol and partners have been a catalyst for socio-economic development. Sasol Exploration and Production International (E&PI) has aspirations to maintain and extend its gas supply from Southern Mozambique and to grow its gas portfolio in the southern cone of Africa in addition to growing its portfolio in West Africa.
