Protecting South Africa's digital ecosystem—one domain at a time

A recent phishing campaign attempted to impersonate RTMC/NaTIS using a fraudulent .co.za domain to deceive users into submitting payment information.
Following detection, swift action was taken to suspend the malicious domain and coordinate with the relevant parties. The associated destination domain had already been disabled by its sponsoring registrar, ensuring the phishing infrastructure was no longer operational.
This case highlights the importance of rapid collaboration across the domain name ecosystem in protecting Internet users from online fraud.
Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility. Always verify website addresses before entering personal or financial information.

NaTIS or RTMC | Phishing Disrupted

Every day, malicious actors attempt to exploit the trust users place in familiar brands and public institutions.
In a recent incident, a fraudulent .co.za domain was used to impersonate RTMC/NaTIS in an attempt to harvest payment information from unsuspecting users.
Once identified, immediate action was taken to suspend the domain, preventing further abuse. Verification also confirmed that the associated destination domain had already been disabled by its sponsoring registrar.
While many of these interventions happen behind the scenes, each one contributes to a safer and more trusted Internet for South Africa.
Protecting the integrity of the .za namespace is a shared responsibility—and one we take seriously.

Received a NaTIS or RTMC notification? Pause before you pay.

Cybercriminals are increasingly using fake websites that closely resemble trusted organisations to trick people into sharing banking details or making fraudulent payments.
Before you take any action:
Verify that you are visiting the official website.
Check the domain name carefully—small spelling differences can indicate a fraudulent site.
Never provide your banking details or make a payment until you have confirmed the website is legitimate.
If in doubt, contact the organisation using its official contact details—not those contained in the message you received.
A few moments spent verifying a website can protect you from financial loss and identity theft.
Stay vigilant. Stay secure.

The ZARC team had a great time connecting with industry professionals, innovators and businesses at the Sandton Convention Centre, where conversations around fintech, payments, banking and digital commerce took centre stage.
