Mmegi attacked

Friday, January 23, 2015

For the second time in 10 days, MmegiOnline, the Internet edition of Mmegi newspaper and its sister publication, The Monitor suffered a major hacking yesterday (Thursday).

On Thursday morning, just after 10am, hackers defaced the website and later brought it down and placed the picture of cancer patient, Abian Ntshabele on her hospital bed.
