JOHANNESBURG — It’s been a terrible few months for cybersecurity in South Africa as local companies lurch from one data breach to the next. Just this month, it emerged that local traffic fines website, ‘ViewFines.co.za’, had a data breach involving almost 1 million South Africans. (At the time of writing, the website is still offline – you can find out more by listening to my interview with Troy Hunt in our premium section.)

The high court has dismissed Discovery's attempt to stop competitor Liberty from using Vitality status in calculating life insurance premiums, with costs. The Vitality level of a Discovery client is the personal information of that client, and they can disclose it to anyone they want, the court said. Asking for that status is not a trademark infringement, nor unfair competition, the court ruled.

And the court thinks Discovery actually benefits too from Liberty's piggy-backing. It is not going to stop competing life insurer Liberty from using the...
