Department of Justice fails to renew IT contracts — gets hacked

The Department of Justice allowed its IT contracts to lapse last year, forcing internal officials to assist with troubleshooting and reporting from August 2021.

A month after internal officials took over these functions, the department was the victim of a ransomware attack.

[ttygt]

You're not implying ANYTHING with that headline.......?

 

[borro]

The injustice!

 

[Bigjay84]

We are lead , or something to that effect

 

[Willie Trombone]

A month after the contract expires they're hacked... sounds too convenient.

 

[Skerminkel]

The ineptocracy strikes again!

 

[grok]

internal officials = sinista fosses

 

[_TrXtR_]

But no explanation as to why they company was not paid on time?
Corruption is making headlines at the moment... yet the point of corruption is being kept silent?

Convenient let me guess, all the Zuma-related info was deleted?

They used this:

DELETE * FROM GOV_SHADY_SHIT_TABLE WHERE LAST_NAME = "Zuma";

If I was the ANC / South African government, I would simply revert all government institutions back to brown files, pen and paper. Will save them billions in electronic equipment, specialist staff salaries, licenses, outsourcing and much more.
