MALICIOUS CYBER-ATTACK

Johannesburg, 14 March 2021 – PPS’s security experts have confirmed that the company has fallen victim to a malicious cyber-attack. An independent forensic investigation into system disruptions since 9 March 2021 currently shows no evidence that any data has been compromised. Our IT experts are now focused on restoring full functionality.

There are a number of alternative processes already in place as an interim measure to minimise the impact to clients. PPS regrets the delays some members are currently experiencing.

The security of our systems and data is our foremost priority.
