Ransomware Targeting Infrastructure Hits Telecom Namibia

Telecom Namibia fell victim to a ransomware attack by Hunters International, leading to the leak of customer data after the company refused to pay a ransom. This incident highlights the growing trend of cyberattacks on critical infrastructure in Africa, particularly in the telecommunications and manufacturing sectors. The rise of ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) exacerbates this threat, with cybercriminals targeting high-value organizations and exploiting vulnerabilities in digital networks.
