💨 Abstract

SASSA has been criticized for significant security flaws in its Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant system, according to an independent investigation. These flaws include weak authentication policies, unprotected backup files, and lack of web security, which have allowed malicious websites to thrive and potentially expose clients' data. The investigation followed two students' ID theft after applying for the grant. The South African government has acknowledged the security breaches and promised to address the issues.
