Intrusion at a Vodacom technical facility in Goma has caused loss of network control and disruption of voice, SMS, internet, and M-Pesa services.
Vodacom Congo (DRC) reported an intrusion at one of its technical facilities in Goma, North Kivu, resulting in a loss of control over its mobile network in the area. The incident has led to the disruption of voice, SMS, internet, and M-Pesa mobile payment services, affecting users’ ability to communicate and conduct financial transactions. The outage comes amid a fragile security situation in Goma, where the city has been under the control of the AFC/M23 for several months and banks have remained closed. A prolonged disruption of these services could significantly impact daily life and official payments that rely on mobile wallets.
