MoFA’s official FB page hacked, all urged to stay alert

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) official Facebook page was hacked for some time. During the period, some unapproved and inappropriate contents were shared through its official Facebook page without due authorization.

This was confirmed in a press release issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Sunday (May 4).

This unanticipated interruption is being given serious attention, as this page serves as the Ministry’s most popular social media platform for the regular dissemination of important information, said the release.

However, the page is currently under maintenance and necessary actions are being taken to investigate the matter and strengthen security measures to prevent any such future untoward recurrence, it said.

It requested everyone not to trust, share, or engage with any posts or messages from its Facebook page until its full recovery.

Official updates and communications will continue to be shared through the Ministry’s verified platforms, including its official website and press releases, it added.
