Personal Records of Nearly 1 Million South Africans Leaked Online (iafrikan.com)
Tefo Mohapi, reporting for iAfrikan: Barely a year after South Africa's largest data leak was revealed in 2017, the country has suffered yet another data leak as 934,000 personal records of South Africans have been leaked publicly online. The data includes, among others, national identity numbers (ID numbers), e-mail addresses, full names, as well as plain text passwords to what appears to be a traffic fines related online system. Working together with Troy Hunt, an Australian Security consultant and founder of haveibeenpwned, along with an anonymous source that has been communicating with iAfrikan and Hunt, we've managed to establish that the data was backed up or posted publicly by one of the companies responsible for traffic fines online payments in South Africa. "I have a new leak which might be worthwhile, the database leak contains 1 million records of personal information of South African citizens. Including Identity numbers, cell phone numbers, email addresses, and passwords. I am aware of the website this was leaked from," said our source upon initial contact.
Now we can identify who all those Nigerian princes really are.
I don't believe in karma, I just call it like I see it.
They are killing white farmers in South Africa. So, if those records include race and address, it might be fatal. The whites are moving to Australia to get away from the violence. Data leaks have consequences.
There is a well deserved famine coming too; persecuting white farmers is crippling the food supply. The ANC is turning South Africa into another African dumpster fire.
Maw! Fire up the karma burner!
Could be he's referring to history. Ie.. what's already happened in Zimbabwe after Mugabe "expropriated" land from white farmers. Sure, you can argue the white guys are farming on "ill gotten land" but ultimately it's mostly old folks and kids who suffer when food production crashes. That and are you prepared to adjudicate every situation? I mean what if the evil white farmer just inherited it from a guy who bought the land legally from a black man (which definitely happened often) ? What if the person *was* black but didn't appear black enough (ie.. Colorism which is common in Africa)? Is that cool, too? I mean do you just wave your hand at the fatal outcome of this breakdown of law?
