It is reported that the prominent Sri Lankan news website, ‘Sri Lanka Mirror’ (www.srilankamirror.com), has been the target of a cyber attack.
According to a statement issued by its administration, the website’s technical team has already successfully thwarted the attack.
However, additional security protocols are currently being implemented to further secure the platform. Consequently, the administration advises that readers may experience temporary difficulties or delays when attempting to access the site.
Our fellow media organization, Sri Lanka Mirror, extends its sincere apologies to its readers for any inconvenience caused and is working diligently to fully restore the site as soon as possible.
We express our deepest concern regarding such cyber attacks, which serve as a disruption to media freedom and the public’s right to information.
