There is a possibility of cyber attack on the official websites of the President’s Office, Foreign Ministry and Tourism Ministry of Maldives. Websites remained down for several hours on Saturday night.
However, now they have been restored and access is available as before. Last night the official websites of Maldives President’s Office, Foreign Ministry and Tourism Ministry were not opening.
A message of technical error was visible on them due to which they remained closed and inaccessible for several hours. After this temporary disruption, three government websites of Maldives have now started working again.
It is being told in local media reports that there is a possibility of cyber attack on the government websites of Maldives, due to which they could not be contacted for a long time.
When there was a problem in opening the website, the Maldives President’s Office wrote on Twitter, ‘Please note! The website of the President’s Office is currently facing technical disruption.
National Center for Information Technology (NCIT) and other related organizations are continuously working to fix it. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your cooperation and patience.
Parliament functioning disrupted due to cyber attack
It is noteworthy that a few days ago the functioning of the Parliament was disrupted due to cyber attack in Albania. In the cyber attack, the hacker tried to access their important data and delete it.
The statement said that in this cyber attack, hackers could not access the data of the system. It was reported that cellphone providers and airlines were also targeted in the cyber attack.
It was said that an Iranian hacker named Homeland Justice carried out this, but this could not be verified.
A case of cyber attack was also reported in Albania in July 2022, after which the government held Iran’s Foreign Ministry responsible for it. However, Iran’s Foreign Ministry rejected these allegations.
