Security company Symantec has warned that South Africa could be the next hotspot for cyber crime and cyber criminals. South Africa has recently benefited from links to two undersea fibre-optic cables which is set to improve the country’s broadband connectivity. South Africa is also to host the World Cup tournament this coming summer and according to Symantec, both of these factors combined could create a ‘prefect storm’ for cyber criminals. Symantec warn that countries with a fast developing broadband infrastructure are extremely likely to see a sharp rise in malicious activity. So be warned.
