Cyber attack

edit

@TapticInfo The "incident" is still being discussed as a rumour. As of now there is no confirmation yet that it was real or a hoax. See https://www.defenceweb.co.za/sa-defence/sa-defence-sa-defence/answers-sought-on-apparent-sa-defence-ict-ransomware-attack/?referrer=newsletter

Let's hope we get clarity soon, but it's not yet there as of now. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 17:15, 28 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Another issue is that this is hardly a highly significant incident in the entire 100+ years of the existence of the DOD. There have been two world wars and several other smaller actions involving SA military forces. Having this article consisting of only stub-like bare bones information about the department and a single section about this alleged incident is UNDUE, CHERRYPICKING and RECENTISM.
