The official websites of the Maldivian President's office, Foreign Ministry and Tourism Ministry faced technical disruptions and were unreachable for several hours on Saturday night in a suspected cyberattack. While the President's office website was later restored, the Foreign Ministry and Tourism Ministry sites remained down at the time of reporting. The Maldives President's office acknowledged the disruption in a social media post, stating their National Center for Information Technology and relevant entities were working promptly to resolve the issue. They apologized for the inconvenience caused. Local media described it as a likely cyberattack. The investigation is still ongoing.
