Insurance industry in South Africa under attack and customers are the victims

A devastating breach of Hollard's systems has left thousands of South African insurance customers vulnerable, with personal information and credentials compromised. The attack, attributed to notorious ransomware-as-a-service group The Gentlemen, was triggered by suspicious activity detected on Jira in June, resulting in the unauthorized transfer of sensitive data. As a result, Hollard has been forced to leak the stolen data, exposing its customers to potential identity theft and financial harm.
