The websites of Home Affairs and Immigration departments have fallen victim to a series of relentless denial-of-service (DDoS) cyberattacks.
These attacks, which commenced early yesterday morning and continued throughout the day, left users frustrated and alarmed.
The DDoS attacks flooded the websites with an overwhelming volume of traffic, rendering them inaccessible for hours. Authorities immediately launched an investigation to trace the origins of these malicious attacks. Preliminary findings suggest that the culprits may have utilized a network of compromised computers to orchestrate this offensive, masking their true identities.
Government officials swiftly took action to mitigate the damage and restore normalcy. Cybersecurity experts worked tirelessly to bolster the websites’ defenses and fend off the ongoing attacks. It is reported that the attacks have now subsided, but the sites remain under close monitoring to thwart any potential resurgence.
The motive behind these attacks remains unclear, though speculation points toward potential political or criminal agendas. The incident has raised concerns about the vulnerability of critical government infrastructure in the face of cyber threats.
