Land Bank Restores Systems After Cyber Incident Disruption
The Land and Agricultural Development Bank of South Africa (Land Bank) has restored its website and systems following a temporary shutdown due to a cyber-related incident. In January 2026, the bank took several internal IT systems offline as a precautionary measure to protect its operations and sensitive information amid global cybersecurity concerns. The disruption affected both the bank and its subsidiary, Land Bank Insurance Company, causing temporary interruptions in services and transactions. Internal IT teams, supported by external cybersecurity specialists, were deployed to assess the situation and restore full functionality. The bank has now implemented enhanced security measures and confirmed that its digital platforms are fully operational.
