    Mweb email migration has critically failed

    Dear Webafrica, I believe my concern has already been noted. It is now your choice to ignore this warning. Let me just remind you that this has now publicly been brought to your attention. (Mweb has been notified of this 4 month prior, which is a reasonable amount of time). Also note, if...

    Mweb email migration has critically failed

    Nice touch :p So yeah if they are able to SMS you your password in clear text, it means they are doing something wrong.

    Mweb email migration has critically failed

    So what you do is when you enter the password, it runs through the some encryption function, and you then compare the hash of that against the stored hash. You never compare the plain text passwords. So lets say your password is password1234 , it is passed to a function, and then stored as...

    Passwords have to be encrypted using a one way function, because if it can be decrypted by whatever means it means attackers can also decrypt the passwords.

    Mweb email migration has critically failed

    One more thing If a service can SMS you your current password, it means they are storing it in plain text. Under POPIA, wouldn’t this violate Section 19 (Security measures on integrity and confidentiality of personal information), which requires responsible parties to implement “appropriate...

    Mweb responds to customer service complaints

    Dear Mweb, Sure you are welcome to have a look, but from what I understood from the contact center technical support, those emails are now GONE. Unable to be recovered since the server it was on, is no longer available. So besides the security and availability issues, how are you going to...

    Mweb email migration has critically failed

    Dear Webafrica, This isn't just beyond frustrating, this is a critical failure of services. Not only is reliability in question here but the security and availability as well. Mweb has failed in all 3 categories. While telling everyone they have a dedicated support team, that did absolutely...

    Wait until you see how their smtp server was/is secured, a while back you could send an email pretending to be anyone.

    MWEB Email Migration – Critical Issues!

    This migration has been nothing but a critical failure. I have lost all mail before 2026, and mweb is useless at trying to fix this. They tell me to go to a backup portal. Yet I cannot login to that. Honestly can't wait to get rid of them. I highly suggest everyone migrates away from mweb. After...

    Vodacom ISP

    Yeah Vodacom as a Fibre ISP is horrible. There provided router will block any DNS request to anything like google or cloudflare if you try to directly use that DNS instead of the router.

    Moving ISP from MWEB to Vodacom on identical Vodacom fibre infrastructure now causing DSTV streaming issues??

    Has anyone else gotten any weird billing issues? We singed up for 100/100Mbps at R833.08, last year around July it suddenly went to R939, and then in August the line speed dropped to 50/50 and billing went up to R1300. I am still battling with Vodacom Billing to sort out this mess, and since...

    Vodacom fibre fraudulent billing

    Hi all, I thought I would just post what happened as a word of caution against using Vodacom as your Fibre ISP. My mom signed up for Vodacom fibre in 2020, with Link Africa being the fibre infra provider, the 100Mbps up and down line was R833.08 per month. We initially had some issues, but...
