Probe underway into eNaTIS hack

eNaTIS "Hackers" on wrong track

Some media hype has suggested that the eNaTIS system was hacked recently. This was apparently due to someone leaving a comment on a page of a section of the eNaTIS public web site (this site). The suggestion that eNaTIS was hacked is actually laughable. The eNaTIS public web site is in no way connected at all to the eNaTIS system. This choice was a deliberate design choice.

It still was hacked, even if it is just the website. :rolleyes:
 
A statement on eNaTIS.com explained that the eNaTIS data holding centre, where vehicle and licensing transactions are recorded, was deliberately separated from the public information website to thwart such attacks.

But wasn't the whole point to do things like pay fines and make appointments online so it HAS to be linked to the database somehow. :confused:

Hackers are people who break through a computer’s security systems either to obtain private information, or, in some cases, merely to show off their abilities and highlight weaknesses in a system.

You'd expect a R400m project like this to have no weaknesses. :rolleyes:
 
These guys provide me with comedy every single day.

The department was "disappointed" that people would attack a system meant to be useful to the public,

Considering it was probably someone overseas who couldn't care less about the system and nevermind the fact that its the publics system seeing as we pay the stupid R30 enatis fee everytime we use it, someone just wanted their money's worth.
 
Lol, I didn't think they cared.

LMFAO at their whole "Whodunnit" plan. Just fix it, no use chasing around the internet with your sjambok.
 
"We are going to find out who did it and be more vigilant," said departmental spokesman Collen Msibi.

Wait a minute, didn't the hacker identify himself|herself as "Tao" and then the other lot after that identified themselves as “HACKED BY ISTANBULLS TURKISH HACKER TÜRK HACKER”?

Perhaps Collen Msibi should have looked at the actual hacked website to find out whodunnit...

ROFL, I wonder if this Msibi really is the cretin that he appears to be: as if hackers would really care if some obscure dweeb of a bureaucrat might be "disappointed" that his employer's website was up to <censored/> :rolleyes:.
 
That other dude hacked into NASA so "E what's it's name" must have been easy. kinda hehe
 
"he eNaTIS is being developed on a secure, but open web infrastructure. It is thus technically possible to make eNaTIS available on any device that is Java-enabled and connected through complying networks to the eNaTIS core. Thus, it is possible to have all the vehicle information at every border post without a huge investment in networks and hardware. Even though it is open, all the eNaTIS data is encrypted, thus it is not possible to ‘listen in’ on data lines."
