“It can be confirmed the system of the Department of Defence has not been hacked”- SANDF
Yesterday, DataBreaches reported on SNAtch Team and how they were not a ransomware gang or using what had been referred to as the Snatch locker or ransomware. In that report, DataBreaches included a description provided by their spokesperson about their attack on the South Africa Department of Defense — an attack that SANDF initially dismissed as “fake news” and now claims wasn’t a hack.
[...]
It appears that SANDF is either extremely incompetent in investigating the attack and exfiltration of so much data or they are just flat-out lying because they are embarrassed. Either way, the country’s citizenry is not well-served by a government that denies the reality of what happened or attempts to deflect responsibility for the poor security practices that facilitated it.
