Well..we were told to expect them after all.

Please. Having seen some of the systems used by government departments - that wasn't a hack.
More likely the guy manually changed the url.

The tender for increased cyber security is still being [-]rigged[/-] drawn up.

That looks like an export from AD or Mail Server. Hack, nah. More of a leak than anything.

The info released also doesn't tell you much, I mean, any guavament workers email address is just the name, surname with a dot gov at the end.

The decrypted passwords would be the real interesting thing.

The decrypted passwords would be the real interesting thing.

They are hashed. All the best in trying to reverse the algorithm, though.

Useless post...

 

[maeztro]

On closer look, it seem as if some of those on the list are already decrypted.

Massive number of South African websites hacked by Anonymous

A self-titled Anonymous hacker has claimed responsibility for defacing a number of South African websites as part of #OpAfrica.

 

[pinball wizard]

Plenty of plain text passwords there.

 

[blunt]

Looks like they're all on the same host.. Web Africa

That it was old server not used anymore is immaterial. If it was on the network, then you got hacked. You unnecessarily introduced a vulnerability to be exploited, and it cost you dearly. Nou jy luik soos n poepol...

 

[LiberateZANow]

Well done Anonymous, do it deeper & more damaging next time.

It's just md5....

Ouch.

That pretty much guarantees they downloaded all the mails they could already...
