SA on guard for increase in criminal hacking
Eghshaan Khan, the State Information Agency's newly-appointed chief information officer, said yesterday: "One of the areas I will be focusing on here is security. Sita has strong security in its network but we need to improve awareness about the risks."
The Times of London reported that more than 100 websites were offering to sell 30000 British credit card numbers for less than R15 each.
Network Unlimited sales manager Scott Martin blamed "sophisticated criminal networks" rather than child hackers: "The average South African bank is hit thousands of times a day, but unlike in the US, companies here aren't required by law to publicise an infiltration."
