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 group calling itself “TH3 S41NT” left a message on the homepage stating the obvious lapse in the websites’ security measures.

Inter Services Public Relations Director Lt Col Rashidul Hasan told the Dhaka Tribune that the website was indeed hacked but it has been recovered since.

“We addressed the issue immediately after discovering it. The site developers sprung into action and recovered the site around 4pm.”

The Bangla Tribune reports cyber security specialist Dr Touhid Bhuiyan saying: “Bangladeshi government websites are severely vulnerable to cyber attacks. The host domains are also not secure, leaving a lot of loopholes for hackers to breach our system. The websites should be frequently tested for vulnerabilities to prevent further attacks.”


The website, designed on a Drupal platform, is one of the thousands of websites designed by Access to Information (A2i) as an upgrade to the former Joomla platform sites. 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.

Dude the hack wasn't impressive. I used to be a security researcher myself during my early years of high school and helped Facebook improve its account security. Bangladeshs black hate hacker members are enough to bring their country down to knees.

Their is certain limitations on range of missiles in case of export. And no worries, BA itself is planning & evaluating long range GMRLS systems. All parties in the region has interest in maintaining the status quo.

Funny Bengali logic.... tired truck towed artillery won't get immobile in bangladesh's paddy field environment but apparently tracked vehicle whose sole reason of being tracked is for aid in mobility will get tracked.
Man we need those new batches of tanks as much as possible.
 
Bangladesh Army has floated a tender for Medium to Long Range ATGW systems. Also Sniper Rifles & Sound Ranging Equipments for Artillery Corps will be bought.
