The largest city in South Africa is used to dealing with national power outages that cause traffic jams and delays due to operational problems at state-owned Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd.

At present, the Johannesburg electricity company is the target of hackers.

The attack did not affect the network but prevented Thursday access to the City Power website and online electricity purchases.

Businesses and families in the country's commercial hub can be grateful for one thing: the lights are always on.

#Update City Power has been hit by a Ransomware virus. it has encrypted all our databases, applications and network. Currently, our IT department cleans and rebuilds all affected applications.
