An A/L student with an interest in artificial intelligence has caused a stir by launching a cyber attack on the official website of the Ministry of Education. The Ministry confirmed the breach, expressing concern over the security lapse.
In a surprising turn of events, the student not only infiltrated the website but also left a note on the platform, indicating that the attack was intended to highlight a security flaw. This revelation has sparked discussions about the vulnerability of government websites and the capabilities of young individuals in the digital realm.
The Ministry of Education swiftly responded to the breach, working in collaboration with the Sri Lanka Computer Emergency Response Forum (SLCERT) and the Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (TRC). Together, they have launched a special investigation to assess the extent of the damage and identify potential loopholes in the website’s security infrastructure.
