Inkampani kahulumeni yakwa-Transnet ihlaselwe yi-cyber hack, evale uhlelo lwayo lwe-IT, amawebhusayithi ayo amaningi kanye nohlelo lwayo lwe-online Navis terminal ngoLwesine ekuseni.
Ukusabalala kwezobuchwepheshe kuphazamise ukusebenza kwamakhonteyina eKapa naseThekwini, okuyisikhungo esimatasa kakhulu semikhumbi engxenyeni yezifunda zase-Afrika eningizimu ye-Sahara.
Inkampani yakwa-Transnet, esebenza emtateni yaseNingizimu Afrika kanye noxhaxha lwezitimela oluthutha amaminerali nezinye izimpahla ezithunyelwa kwamanye amazwe, iqinisekise ukuthi izinhlelo zayo ze-IT zihlangabezane nokuphazamiseka futhi basazama ukuthola imbangela.
Le nkampani ephethwe nguhulumeni isivele yahlangabezana nokuphazamiseka okukhulu emitateni yayo kanye nakujantshi wezimpahla kazwelonke ngesonto eledlule ngemuva kwezinsuku zemibhikisho enodlame ezingxenyeni ezithile zezwe.
UNgqongqoshe osabambile eHhovisi likaMengameli, uMnuz Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, uthe okwamanje uhulumeni uphenya ukuthi ngabe ukuhlaselwa kwabakwa-Transnet kuhlobene yini nezidubedube zakamuva. “Okwamanje lokhu kuhlaselwa kwe-cyber hack kwa-Transnet sikuthatha njengento engahlobene nakho,” kusho uNtshavheni.
Omunye usomabhizinisi, ocele ukungadalulwa igama, utshele i-Scrolla.Africa ukuthi: “Lokhu kungaba kubi kakhulu uma amakhonteyina engakwazi ukwehlisa noma athathe izimpahla – ngicabanga ukuthi iTheku lithola cishe amakhonteyina ayizinkulungwane ngosuku. Uma ingaqhubeka lento, kungaba kubi kakhulu kunomthelela wokuphangwa kwezinto eKZN – kungabi bikho okuthengwa kwamanye amazwe, njengoba kungeke kube khona ukuthunyelwa ngaphandle nokungena kwezimpahla – futhi kuzothinta zonke izindawo.”
