Cyber attackers prey on the African Union, resulting in the unscheduled suspension of its systems. The Reporter got a copy of an internal memo that said an attack on the AU data center started last week, making services and applications unavailable. “The massive cyberattack has compromised a number of IT assets in our data center, which has rendered services and applications inaccessible. Nevertheless, they did not elaborate on whether the incident was the consequence of an external attack or an internal breakdown. On a phone call with The Reporter, Wynne Musabayana, the AUC’s head of communication, neither confirmed nor denied the attack.
