Openserve Ransomware?

[McGuywer]

I have heard from an ISP that the delay in my Openserve Fibre order is due to ransomware at Openserve.
Any truth in this? I haven't seen anything in the news.

We had a bunch of delays on placing orders so very much the truth.

Thank you for being honest.
Just weird that nothing is mentioned in the news.

A delay of orders for a few people isn't going to make the news, we have delays with every FNO on a daily basis.

A cluster of Raspberry Pi model 2Bs would be better!

Telkom are not interested in better. If it is going to cost money then they will stick with their gameboy server

I mean to be fair, doesn't matter how expensive/advanced your backend is, all it takes is 1 person who clicks on "Find local singles now!" and you're screwed.

Also doesn't help that majority of ITC companies are working from home, makes for some new doors as a lot of people have unsecure home PCs compared to their work machines. Network security Nightmare.
