A Bangladesh government website under the Defence Ministry was attacked by hackers on Saturday morning. The official website of the Defence Finance Department www.cgdf.gov.bd was taken down by a hacker group claiming to be Indian. The host domains are also not secure, leaving a lot of loopholes for hackers to breach our system. Despite the upgrade, several Bangladeshi government websites often come under cyber attack, the most notorious being the Bangladesh Bank cyber heist in 2016. The hacker group “TH3 S41NT” on its Facebook page boasts its successful cyber attacks, mostly against Bangladeshi and Pakistani government websites.
