President's Website Hacked For Second Consecutive Day

President Maithripala Sirisena's official web page was hacked for the second consecutive day this evening.

At the time of writing, the President's page still has a message saying that it is performing some 'scheduled maintenance'.

This is the second day the site was hacked. However, on the first day, a Sinhalese message came up on the page.

Yesterday's attackers' message said:

"Dear Mr President,

We are extremely displeased about the decision to hold GCE A\L in April since the Sinhala/Hindu New Year falls in between the exam dates. Therefore, reconsider that decision. Furthermore, take care of the security of Sri Lankan websites. Or else, we will have to face a cyber war.

If you cannot control the situation hold a Presidential Election.

Stop the Prime Minister's irresponsible work.

Look more into the problems of the university students.
