Postbank lost over R18 million in three months from cyber fraud

The South African Postbank is to spend R400-million over the next three years to upgrade and modernise its IT systems.

This follows the state-owned entity losing more than R18-million over a three-month period to cybercrime attacks.

To spend 400m to upgrade is a waste of money
Another useless organ of state..
Seem to have the money for that but they cant pay medical aid and pensions.

No priorities here.

Nice tender for another useless IT company .

He said the accounts of 141 grant beneficiaries were hit in a cyber attack in August. The state-owned entity lost R5.8-million in this incident. This equates to each beneficiary receiving a R41 134,75 grant!!
Boy, I would sure like to receive a grant like this!

Dafuq. I don't care what the system is, I can do it for 20 bar tops.

And as a bonus, it'll actually work.

Not even required or part of the mandate.

Exactly this. It would be cheaper to let the cyber fraud (theft) continue - R18m vs R400m for a system that won't work. The latter should also be categorized as cyber fraud...
