Cape Town - A part of the eNatis website appears to have been hacked, raising fresh fears over the security of the national system.News24 received several tip-offs from the public on Wednesday that a section of the eNatis.com website had been breached by a hacker. When the "how do I" link on the eNatis.com website is clicked, the message "Sorry bro..anda terlambat. Patch By Tao. OK?!!." appears on a blank screen.
The words "!- Hacked by Tao -!" appear on the top of the screen.
No other parts of the website appear to have been affected by the hacker.

The used Joomla? I am sorry but the first thing that comes to mind is that there is something wrong with the awarding of the tender. A 400 mil Rand project and you use a free download website building tool to build your website. It is pathetic. If they think this guy actually hacked into here they are wrong. It is most likely a kid that downloaded a php injection code. If a real hacker was in there the database would be gone. think it is truely pathetic. Joomla?
Based on their press releases, I think they HAVE to use open source products wherever possible. It's government policy.
As far as I can tell the main eNaTIS servers are all running open source software as well. It wouldn't surprise me if the main database is MySQL as well, although it could be Oracle.
Whatever method was used to hack the site is irrelevant: the point is that they are going to use the site "later this year" for credit card transactions. I don't trust them with MY credit card number if they can't keep their site secure.
