Following news of Transnet’s cyber breach this morning, the state-owned logistics company has said that port and rail systems will continue to operate using manual systems, which means overall operations will be heavily affected.
According to a company statement, business continuity plans have been activated to contain any adverse impact on operations.
Transnet said that it was working to reduce downtime to ensure that the systems were up and running as soon as possible.
At this stage, it has not confirmed how long it will take before its systems are back online and fully operational.
