The Sri Lanka Computer Emergency Readiness Team (SLCERT) announced that the Department of Meteorology’s official website, which was hit by a cyberattack last week, is in the process of being restored.
The cyberattack, reported on November 1, caused a disruption in the website’s services. SLCERT stated that the attack was detected following certain changes observed on the Met Department’s website.
Preliminary investigations by SLCERT indicate that no data was accessed or stolen by external parties. Efforts are currently underway to fully restore the website following these investigations.
