The Namibian government says that, apart from compromised information from the Ministry of Health and Social Services, no personal data has been leaked from the government's data centre. 

The Head of the Computer Science Department at the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST), Edward Nepolo, says that the recent cyberattacks on Telecom Namibia serve as a wake-up call for Namibia.

Bank of Namibia Governor, Johannes ǃGawaxab, has urged banks to follow requirements and develop effective responses to cyberattacks or hacks.

While outlining the central bank's preparedness for such incidents, ǃGawaxab emphasised that these attacks are inevitable.

Social engineering attacks such as phishing and scamming are on the increase in Namibia, as many people continue to fall prey to psychological manipulation by being tricked into making security mistakes or giving out sensitive information.
