MTN Group said an “unknown third-party has claimed to have accessed data linked” to parts of its system and that the incident “resulted in unauthorised access to personal information of some MTN customers in certain markets.”
A cyberattack has forced the government-run South African Weather Service (SAWS) offline, limiting access to a critical service used by the country’s airlines, farmers and allies.
The website for SAWS has been down since Sunday evening, according to a statement posted to social media. SAWS has had to use Facebook, X and other sites to share daily information on thunderstorms, wildfires and other weather events.
