The City of Johannesburg website has been hacked. In a twitter statement posted on Friday morning, the city said it detected a network breach resulting in unauthorised information to its network system. This has forced it to shut down its website and e-services as a security measure.
Consumers seeking assistance have been urged to make use of the City Call Centre or Customer Services Centre. Business Day, reports that a group called Kill Hackers is demanding a ransom in bitcoins.
It also says the group has allegedly threatened to upload all hijacked data on the internet by the 28th of October. An investigation is currently under way and is expected to last at least 24-hours.
