Two members of Sri Lanka’s Under-19 national cricket team have been arrested over allegations of secretly filming females inside a hotel in Narahenpita, police said. The suspects were taken into custody after several female doctors, who were staying at a private hotel while attending a conference, complained that they had been filmed using mobile phones while bathing in their rooms. Police said the two youths are also suspected of recording footage involving male individuals at the same location. Investigators are now probing whether any of the footage has been shared online. The suspects were produced before the Aluthkade Magistrate’s Court and were released on personal bail of Rs. 500,000 each. Further investigations are being carried out by the Narahenpita Police.(Newswire)

@rangaba The picture of the hacker realised to the media first rime

Sri Lanka Treasury Secretary Harshana Suriyapperuma declines to say how ‘hackers’ got away with $2.5 million from the Public Debt Management Office. Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak --and remove all doubt. (Just saying.)

“Incompeteance” is the new “black “ in the political culture in 🇱🇰 All the NPP supporters are so afraid to say the “other word “ out loud because NPP came to power using “incorruptible” rhetoric, Now if they loose that claim it might be “ the straw that broke the camel’s back”

Here are the details of the hackers. The Ministry of Health is also hacked . Data is selling on the internet. Government’s big cover up. Link In first comment #lka #npp #jvp #srilankahack

The fact that the NPP had to wait for the opposition to raise this hacker issue before issuing a statement shows just how poor their comms are. How hard is it to put together a proper communications team? Right now it’s just X laundromats sounding silly every time they post.

@NewsWireLK හොරු ඉන්නකොටවත් මෙච්චර හොරකම් වුනෙ නෑනෙ ! අරුන් අවුරුදු 76 කදි කරපුවා මුන් අවුරුදු දෙකකින් කවර් කරනවා!

Deputy Minister of Finance Dr Anil Jayantha says complaints have been filed with law enforcement agencies following a cyber theft incident involving unauthorised access to the computer system of the Department of External Resources under the Ministry of Finance. He said the incident occurred during communication and fund settlement activities between the Australian Export Finance Agency and the Treasury, where both parties exchanged information via email. Hackers allegedly exploited this communication channel to manipulate the information exchange. He added that the fraud came to light after a similar attempt was made to obtain additional funds linked to a payment due to India. Suspicion arose when changes were detected in account numbers. Following this, the Treasury immediately alerted the Sri Lanka Police Computer Crimes Investigation Division and the Sri Lanka Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT). A lengthy investigation was then carried out tracing communications back to the start of discussions on debt restructuring and repayments. This established that money intended for the Australian Export Finance Agency had been diverted into accounts controlled by the hackers. A complaint has since been filed with the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and investigations are ongoing. An internal committee, including two deputy treasury secretaries, has also been appointed to examine possible disciplinary issues among officials involved in the transactions. Based on its recommendations, disciplinary action has already been taken against certain officials. “It must be emphasized that taking the correct course of action is more important than making ‘media displays’. This information is highly sensitive because publicizing details could allow cybercriminals to anticipate the next steps of the investigation. Our priority at this moment is arresting the criminals and recovering the stolen funds, rather than providing unnecessary media publicity, which could indirectly assist the hackers,” he said. “Because the information is highly sensitive, publicizing too many details could alert the cybercriminals and allow them to plan their next moves. The primary goals at this stage are arresting the criminals and recovering the stolen funds,” he added. He further said that President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, in his capacity as Minister of Finance, has instructed the Treasury to continue the investigation continuously and at pace. He added that further details will be shared in due course, once it is appropriate to do so without affecting the ongoing investigation and efforts to recover the funds. (NewsWire)

Sri Lanka Treasury’s USD 2.5M cyber theft was exposed after hackers tried a similar payment linked to India. Deputy Minister Anil Jayantha said funds meant for Australia’s Export Finance Agency had been stolen after emails were hacked and payment details changed.

Pachakumara appointed a man with absolutely no government experience as Secretary to the Ministry of Finance, and lo and behold, the guy goes and loses USD 2.5 million. Harshana Suriyapperuma should be fired immediately and investigated. Pachakumara should be impeached.
