The first paragraph in the 2008 section contains multiple issues. It lacks citations, contains multiple peacock terms, spelling mistakes and poor grammar. It looks like possible false content. It has been marked as such. Removal is recommended if proper citation cannot be provided.

WikiProject Computer Security quality assessment

Hi. For the purposes of the WikiProject Computer Security, I've assessed the quality of the article, as it stands, as "list", and the importance as "low". These are objective assessments, based on the criteria documented in the links above, not my personal views on the topic; the quality assessment was requested by 105.226.13.137 (talk · contribs) on September 10, 2020, and I'm sorry it took so long for someone to respond. My rationale for the "list" quality is that the article consists principally of a timeline cataloging events of each year, and for the "low" importance is that it discusses a geographic subset of hacker actions, or a hacker subset of South African events, either way an interesting, but niche, topic. My recommendation for next steps in improving the quality of the article would be to add narrative discussion of eras or periods, rather than a flat list of years. Please feel free to request another quality assessment if the article changes substantially, or if you feel that a second opinion is warranted. Thanks, and good luck!
