  Hackers Steal $500,000 from Pensioners in Australia Cyberattacks Australia's largest pension funds have suffered a wave of coordinated cyberattacks, compromising over 20,000 member accounts and resulting in financial losses, including the theft of A$500,000 from four individuals. Hackers reportedly targeted major funds such as AustralianSuper, Australian Retirement Trust, Rest, Insignia, and Hostplus—collectively managing more than A$873 billion in retirement savings. AustralianSuper, which oversees A$365 billion for 3.5 million members, confirmed that about 600 accounts were breached using stolen login credentials.

  Four Arrested for Possession of Stolen Sheep Worth R120,000


In the early hours of 27 August 2024, members of the Welkom Flying Squad, while patrolling Jason Street in Riebeeckstad, Welkom, noticed two vehicles—a maroon Mazda with GP number plates and a white Toyota Hilux bakkie with FS number plates—both towing trailers and loading sheep.


The officers immediately stopped the vehicles and requested transportation certificates, which raised suspicions. The Odendaalsrus Stock Theft and Endangered Species Unit was called in to investigate further.


Their investigation revealed that the 52 sheep, valued at R120,000, had been stolen from Wolwepan farm in the Welkom district. Another case related to the theft had already been registered in Odendaalsrus.


The four suspects, aged between 31 and 46, were promptly arrested for possession of suspected stolen livestock. The police also seized the vehicles, the trailers, and two cellphones.


The suspects are expected to appear in the Welkom Magistrate Court soon.
