E-Government & Public Sector Data Breaches — Africa Cyber Threat Intelligence

Part of the Africa Cyber Threat Intelligence collection by electricsheepafrica.

Acquisition: SYNTHETIC
Rows: 10,000 (balanced 50/50)
Synthetic: All records are synthetic (is_synthetic=1), based on real-world research data.

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-egov-public-sector-breaches")

Overview

This dataset models cyber attacks against African e-government platforms and public sector digital systems. As African governments accelerate digital transformation — national ID systems, digital tax portals, e-procurement, voter registration — they create massive attack surfaces with minimal security investment. Over 60% of African e-government platforms lack basic security controls (ITU 2024), and fewer than 15% of African government institutions have a CISO role.

Africa-specific patterns captured:

South Africa: Department of Justice ransomware (2021), NHLS health labs breach, City Power attack, Deeds Office data leak, City of Johannesburg compromise
Nigeria: INEC voter database exposure, NIN/BVN system vulnerabilities, FIRS tax portal attacks
Kenya: eCitizen platform DDoS (2023), IEBC voter data leaks, KRA revenue system targeting
Ethiopia: Fayda digital ID system early-stage vulnerabilities
Ghana: GhanaCard system concerns, GRA tax portal, e-Procurement exploitation
Rwanda: iRembo digital services — relatively mature but targeted
Continental: Voter databases weaponised for political interference, national ID breaches enabling mass identity theft
Governance gap: No CISO, no IR plan, no data protection enforcement in majority of African government IT
