Hacktivist group – Anonymous have claimed responsibility.
Anonymous Africa says that the online attack is a retaliation for the national broadcaster’s decision to censor news coverage.
A statement from Anonymous said: “We will stop the attacks at SABC
(for now) at 4pm. We are not done yet‚ lots of action coming. Things are
going to get wild.”Meanwhile‚ SABC spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago was quoted on Sunday afternoon as saying that the broadcaster was still looking into the alleged cyber attack.
“I need to check with the head of IT‚” Kganyago said to Fin24 when he was contacted for comment on Sunday afternoon.
Anonymous Africa is also alleged to have hacked and taken down the website of the Economic Freedom Fighters in the early hours of Sunday‚ but this could not immediately be confirmed.
