NID server down for ‘maintenance work’
Election Commission's NID server is down from this morning due to maintenance work, NID wing's System Manager Mohammad Ashraf Hussain said today.
The server will be restored soon, he said.
Asked whether the server is kept down in fear of cyber-attack, Ashraf said it is not right.
The development comes when the government is on high alert for cyber-attacks by Indian hackers. Recently both government and private institutions saw a number of such attacks, along with data leaks.
Institutions exposed and hit with data leaks include the Investment Corporation of Bangladesh and the Directorate General of Health Services.
The groups also leaked the details of a handful of users from the land tax portal of the land ministry.
Several other organisations faced low-level attacks on their websites, ranging from defacements to sites being taken down for certain time periods.
