🚨 Major win for telecommunications security in South Africa!
COMRiC welcomes the successful JMPD operation that resulted in the seizure of 7,000 illegal SIM cards, along with RICA machines, SpeedPoints, and other equipment used for unlawful activity.
These illegal SIM operations fuel identity theft, financial fraud, and cybercrime putting consumers and businesses at risk.
“This raid sends a strong message that illegal SIM activity will not be tolerated,” says Adv Thokozani Mvelase, CEO of COMRiC.
We commend the officers involved and remain committed to working with law enforcement to protect South Africa’s communications infrastructure. 💪
