The City of Johannesburg has assured customers that their personal data has not been compromised following a breach of its online system. The City says they picked up suspicious activity forcing it to shutdown its systems - including its website, e-services and billing. The City's call centres had to be shut down too as a precautionary measure for 24-hours. In a message sent out by a group calling itself "the Shadow Kill Hackers", the hackers say they have compromised the City of Jo'burg's data including passwords and financial information and threatened to publish it if a ransom of four Bitcoins is not paid to them by Monday. City of Joburg spokesperson Nthatisi Modingoane joins SABC live for a discussion.
