ISLAMABAD: The Aviation Ministry’s website experienced two consecutive cyber-attacks within the span of a few hours on Wednesday, leading to a temporary shutdown.
The first attack resulted in the display of a foreign message, but the IT team promptly restored the website ‘aviation.gov.pk’.
However, a second attack left the website down again, and despite efforts, it has not been fixed till now.
After coming under multiple cyber attacks, the aviation portal now lacks past records that were there before the attack.
Several state-run portals came under cyber attacks in the past, including the website of the Foreign Ministry and Supreme Court earlier this year.
