If you think of being a whistleblower about corruption, now you know what might happen to you.
What rubbish with this E-Government?
Are they crazy?? He did not commit any crime…
Why dont you arrest the solution provider for failing to implement a proper solution😂😂😂
Ayeye government... Ethical hackers will likely retaliate in solidarity with a fellow ethical hacker, who could've enriched himself in secret, <br>but chose the high road...<br>This ungratefulness, will be met with destruction
as a full stack software developer. This issue would have not happened if they hired a professional. They just putting blame on the student instead of taking accountability. What a waste of tax money.
Instead of thanking or better yet hiring him they much rather do the latter lol smh
Give that guy a job to help you guys detect more flaws on the app and improve the app for you guys. GIVE THAT GUY A JOB !!
What does it mean that an IT student can hack your system 😂
You will notice that in South Africa they go after the whistleblower as the number one priority instead of the actual criminals. Is this a plot to deter people from reporting the truth and exposing criminals who hide behind equally corrupt people higher up the chain? It's clear that a tender of R269 million was overpriced and the software was built by amateurs. So that should be investigated instead and the criminals who benefit from this sort of corruption should be held accountable.
They trying to find someone to put a blame on!
What level of stupidity is this?
Craziest thing I've seen thus far !
Oh wow, obviously this student is brilliant, I am also on the side of the Student
This is stupidity at its best!! Thank the student for letting you know that the app is vulnerable
This is the real joke here. A R269-million tender and they couldn't even secure the database? It looks like a rushed job by people with no software experience.<br>Now they want to charge the student who flagged it just to deflect from their own failure. Bullying a whistleblower won't hide the fact that they completely failed to protect citizen data.
Instead of rewarding the student they choose to punish him. This is the very same student who also detected flaws in the SASSA app also.
