Rand Mutual Assurance is investigating a hacker's claim to hold 366GB of injury-claim data on miners and metalworkers, with a ransom due in early November.

Standard Bank is checking whether customer data was affected after RelyComply confirmed a zero-day attack on systems holding client information. The 200GB claim remains unverified.

The Information Regulator says it has received more than 8,000 security-compromise reports, including 1,220 since April 2026.
