Goliath and Goliath

Goliath and Goliath, also known simply as Goliath, is a comedy and entertainment agency headquartered in South Africa.
The agency provides comedy and entertainment services to clients operating within the region.
It conducts its business from its South African headquarters, focusing on the local entertainment market.
As a specialised provider in the entertainment sector, the organisation concentrates on comedy‑related offerings.
The available sources do not specify the agency’s size, workforce, annual turnover, or geographic reach beyond its headquarters location.

In April 2018, the agency experienced a phishing attack that led to financial losses exceeding R300,000.
The attackers intercepted legitimate invoices, modified the banking details contained therein, and diverted payments that ranged from R20,000 to R130,000.
The fraud was identified when a client observed inconsistencies in the payment instructions and notified the company of the discrepancy.
After the breach was detected, the perpetrators sent a series of demanding emails seeking payment confirmations, which flooded the CEO’s inbox and ultimately disabled the email account.
The incident caused noticeable operational disruptions, prompted the agency to evaluate a change of its domain and email service provider, and markedly reduced overall business efficiency.
Law‑enforcement authorities were engaged, and the company proceeded to subpoena bank records as part of the investigative process.
The agency’s IT service provider performed a forensic review and reported that no evidence of a system compromise was found, while committing to cooperate with the ongoing investigation.
The chief executive officer publicly stated that the attack left him feeling violated and unsafe.
The disclosed sources do not contain information on the agency’s annual revenue, employee count, market share, or any subsequent organisational changes following the 2018 event.
