Nrupesh Soni discusses Telecom Nambia’s data breach over the weekend

[PODCAST]

THE government has launched an investigation into a security breach resulting in the personal information of over 619 000 Telecom Namibia (TN) clients being leaked online last week. The over 626.3 gigabytes of confidential information leaked on Saturday includes data from the Office of the President, medical records, airlines, regional and town councils, universities, mining companies, car dealerships and restaurants. The leak comes after TN did not meet a three-day deadline given by extortionists Hunters International to pay an unknown ransom amount after the group hacked its system on 11 December.

Cyber Security expert, Nrupesh Soni shares his thoughts on Daybreak.
