The Botswana media landscape has been shaken after hackers, calling themselves the Digital Justice League, , breached the Businessweekly newspaper. They claim to have uncovered sensitive documents exposing unethical practices — including corporate payments allegedly made to defame competitors.
Independent experts have verified the breach, sparking questions about media integrity and corporate collusion in Botswana. Even more alarming, leaked claims suggest the newspaper’s owner boasted of wielding immense influence — saying he could “play god” and even remove the king if he wished.
The hacked documents are now reportedly circulating on ransom boards, sending shockwaves across corporate and media circles in the region. While journalists remain cautious about publishing unverified leaks, the implications are already undeniable.
This scandal highlights a critical reality: in the digital age, media institutions are prime targets of cyberattacks — and their credibility hangs in the balance. As investigations continue, Botswana’s media faces a defining moment to restore trust, transparency, and accountability.
