The website of Rapid Action Battalion (Rab), hacked on Thursday by an unknown person, was partially restored yesterday.
Talking to The Daily Star, a top Rab official last night said, “We have restored the website partially and will be able to restore it fully by late night.”
Rab Media Wing Director Commander SM Abul Kalam Azad said their IT experts are working to restore the website and they are hopeful that the hacker will be detected soon.
Azad also claimed their operation and normal functioning were not hampered as their operational information is not provided there. "Only our general information is given on the website," he added.
Earlier on Friday, Rab Director General (DG) Hassan Mahmood Khandkar said they were trying to know who was behind it. “We don't know who did it. Until we find it out, we are not sure whether it is done out of fun or a criminal act.”
On access to www.rab.gov.bd, the website, on Friday it read: “Hacked by Shahee_Mirza”. However, no content appeared on the website yesterday.
The hacker wrote, “You do not know what the cyber security is or how to protect yourself".
"Listen, hackers are not criminals. They are 10 times better than your experts. We are genius beyond your imagination.”
