    Mistakenly sent emails are data breaches in South Africa — Legal experts

    Well, if the PDF is encrypted with older standards like RC4, it’ll take a few minutes to crack; AES-256 would take quite some time, but it helps that we know it’s a 13 digit ID, and you can infer some details like male / female from the email which can reduce the permutations. Either way...

    Some fun stats from the original articles on GroundUp: SITA has 904 unique CVEs on its ASN; In total, just over 5000 non unique. Non-SITA govt hosts have 725 unique, but just over 4400 non unique (despite being half the size of the SITA network). There are also more critical CVEs off SITA’s...

    Cybersecurity researcher finds that hundreds of SITA-backed websites are vulnerable to cyberattacks

    Hey, Joel here — Sucks to see SITA immediately shift blame to “many departments”, when even SITA themselves are vulnerable. They’re running Drupal 7, and many of their servers have vulnerabilities - the same servers that host SITA content. This after they told us “There is a monthly...

    Nullsec Nigeria's SARS and SITA breaches disputed

    I wouldn’t say they were breached, but accounts were definitely compromised; The data seems like (1) passwords were cracked through a wordlist, & (2) old previously-leaked credentials were tested on SARS/SITA.

    Reserve Bank Governor sends a message to South Africa about inflation and interest rates

    The Personal Development & Financial Independence Thread

    Hello! I’m 20 years old & need advice: Is it worth taking out a credit card at my age? I currently have a Fusion account with FNB with a 1k (overdraft?) limit & a car, so credit score is quite good, but I wonder if a credit card will boost it & help long term?
