The comma is a thousands separator, not a decimal, so it's correct as is. But as Urban pointed out, it's a little clumsy. Not sure why the author is scared of the word billion.

cause a 1000 million is more than a billion ...
 
In What to do if you were compromised in the Deeds Data Breach there are odd line breaks in the bullet list (bullets 2-5):

2. Set up alerts: Build your awareness by setting up alerts that notify you of any changes on your customer profile and of attempts to access your credit status or to set
up new lines of credit so that you can stop fraudsters in their tracks.
3. Change all passwords: Shut out attempts at logging into your accounts by changing all of your usernames, passwords and security questions, including those linked to
your social media accounts and especially those accounts linked to your financial transactions.
4. Shut down access: Contact all relevant institutions handling your sensitive PII, including your credit providers, medical aid, doctor’s office, and educational
institutions to instruct them not to take any action on your account unless they’re dealing with you in person. It may seem extreme but is an important step to dissuading and
blocking would-be identity thieves.
5. Engage with institutions: By making yourself heard and by ensuring accountability, you can make a meaningful impact to building the necessary safeguards that are
needed from these institutions to prevent massive data breaches like this from happening again.

That should look like this:

Staff Writer strikes again:

If you gonna start paragraphs with ",there should be a end with " somewhere.

“Product restrictions are already being applied to local companies by their foreign Principals particularly due to the lack of availability of clean fuels (low sulphur petrol).

Where is the end quotation marks?

There is no such thing as low sulphur petrol, there is low sulphur diesel and ultra low sulphur diesel. Don't believe me? Go google low sulphur petrol.

Why is principals starting with a capital P?

Staff Writer, don't post content after your Sunday afternoon drinks... :p

Thanks to Renaldo Gouws on Disqus.

Lol, reminds me when I was in the Philippines and I was looking for some red meat.
Thought they said I must go to the Australian restaurant.

So I was telling the confused Tuk Tuk driver to take me to the Australian restaurant so I can get some steak and he kept on telling me there is no Australian restaurant.... Found out later it was the Austrian restaurant I'm looking for.

If we change the permalink, the Disqus comments disappear. Best it stays as a reminder to get it right the first time.
 
(unintended?) hilarity in the Vumatel 100Mbps fibre for townships is not charity article:
No lines are contented when it comes to downloads in the suburbs. In the underlying gigabit passive optical networking layer, connections are statistically uncontended, said Schoeman.

While the 'burbs may well be a seething hotbed of malcontents, that likely has no bearing on the contended-ness of the lines.
