The official website of the Sri Lanka Ministry of Education has fallen victim to a cyber intrusion.

Hackers, purportedly identifying as "Anonymous EEE," managed to gain unauthorized access to the site, leaving behind a message warning of security vulnerabilities.

The message left by the hacker read, "My name is Anonymous EEE and I am currently studying A/I. Sorry for unauthorized access to your website but your website has some security flaws. As a Sri Lankan citizen, I am reporting this for the safety of my country. Fix it, thanks."

What is there to hack in the education dept? Lol. Anyway, kids are way ahead. This kid is an ethical hacket and should be hired to train the oldies on cyber security.

A decent hacker. Need to applaud him and invite him to rectify the system for the Department. ED must be clueless other than big talk. Wake up.
