Interpol sends warning to South African organisations

• Interpol has sent a warning to South African organisations due to the country's high vulnerability to cyber attacks.
• The warning comes as South Africa accounts for 92% of all ransomware detections in the continent, with notable incidents including a January 2025 ransomware attack on the South African Weather Service.
• The warning is expected to prompt increased security measures among South African organisations, with Interpol urging them to take proactive steps to protect themselves against cyber threats.
