Cyber crooks try to hold Johannesburg’s City Power to ransom after a malicious program found its way on to the computer system and network

After a cyber-attack that debilitated its servers, Johannesburg’s City Power says it has successfully restored electricity vending within hours of the security breach being identified.

The attack was identified in the early hours of Thursday 25 July, according to spokesperson Isaac Mangena. Starting at 8.30am on the 25th, City Power’s official Twitter account, @CityPowerJHB, issued a series of tweets explaining the situation.

It’s not just load-shedding you have to worry about, the city of Johannesburg has warned. You could also be in for water cuts.
The metro warned that water shortages could follow load-shedding.
“As we continue to experience load-shedding across the country, Johannesburg Water is working alongside City Power to ensure that residents do not have to face water cuts as well,” said MMC for environment and infrastructure services Nico de Jager.
He says that when load-shedding of four or more hours is experienced, some areas could have water shortages or low water pressure.
“This is because Johannesburg Water uses electricity to pump water from the reservoirs into the towers,” he said.
