'eNatis Website not hacked'

Yeah, awesome, News24 are now linking Myadsl! :D

Crowing aside, this is just beyond incredible. Do these guys not have a clue, or are they relying on the fact that the majority of citizens are in the digital dark ages and can't confirm or deny this information... I suspect the latter. Man, if you are going to do it, at least look professional.
 
At least the 'evidence' is on the photo page, stops me from questioning my own sanity ... now it's just the DoT that I'm worried about :D.
 
On the subject of the apparent mental instability of one Collen Msibi, I am speechless.
 
How is it possible that they don't know the difference between the system and the website? The website was hacked, not the system. This is a fact! How can they deny that the website was hacked?

The eNatis vehicle registration system website had not been hacked, the Department of Transport said on Thursday.

...

Earlier in the day Msibi said an investigation was under way to establish how the site was hacked into.

If you're going to lie then at least lie consistently. :D
 
The department wants to reassure all South Africans that these allegations of hacking have nothing to do with the eNatis system and the system is running optimally with no interruption whatsoever.

"The system has in fact stabilised since the interventions of May 8 and the days of long queues are long over.

Ok.....then why does it still seem so impossible to get a drivers license application underway????? FFS!!!!
 
The suggestion that eNatis was hacked is actually laughable.

actually, the idea that the DoT seems to have about the website not being hacked IS laughable. this Msibi guy must just stop insulting our intelligence.
 
What if the website defacement was simply a red herring to divert attention from the backdoor the hacker planted?
 
Holy cow - I can't believe this!!! They are even more incompetent than I thought! If you don't call web defacement a hack then what the hell is it? A publicity stunt!!?? This is really a slap in the face for anyone that knows anything about IT - which clearly they don't have a clue!!!
 
Enatis not hacked

Sorry, I have to add a different scenario to the hack. The compromise was spotted 'cos it was totally obvious...

What If -

A link was added to the main page by the hackers saying "Pay Fines" here and redirecting to a valid URL where you enter banking details?

Would DoT have noticed that? What if login credentials to the site were sent to an IRC channel (php is very powerfull), it can even connect to another IP address and serve pages as a HTTP server.

If an DoT employee (with admin rights) logged on when such a "voilation" in progress, then the impact is completely different.

The entire page was defaced, just place one link on the page, or even redirect to a Fake www.enartis.com (deliberate spelling mistake), who would notice?
 
Ricard those scenarios are frightfully possible. Point taken I think you have just made a complete arse out of Msibi and the DoT :D

they can thank their lucky stars the attack as it so seems was just defacement

Well thought. It is quite frightening really, but more so because they deny everything.
