| 2 min watch
Gauteng’s e-Panic Button app exposed the names of people who made crime reports, the reports themselves, locations of the people making the report and people accused of committing crimes.
The app's developers fixed the issue after our alert. But the Department of e-Government delayed reporting the issue to the Information Regulator, and have since lodged a criminal complaint against GroundUp.
