Cyber Crime: Beware The New Database Hijacking Threat!
We have warned before on the continuing rise in cyber crime (see for example November 2014’s CA(SA)DotNews) and it is now taking on a particularly sinister turn. Recent media reports refer to organised crime syndicates hijacking companies’ databases and demanding ransom for the return of the database. This happened for example at Target, one of the United States’ largest retailers, last year.
Experts have no doubt that this has already begun happening in South Africa, so be proactive and ensure your systems are as robust as possible.
