South Africa’s logistics company Transnet SOC was hit last week by a disruptive cyberattack that halted its operations at all the port’s terminals. The attack took place on Thursday, 22 July.
“Port terminals are operational across the system, with the exception of container terminals as the Navis system on the trucking side has been affected,” Transnet revealed.
In response to the attack, the company told its employees to avoid access their emails until further notice in order to prevent the threat from spreading.
