That is why they have resorted to this type of action.”Meanwhile, Anusha Palpita, director general, Department of Government Information, said the department had taken steps to protect the government website from future acts of hacking.“We are managing a mirror site that we can use in a case of further interruption by hackers” he said.Source -:<a href="http://www.lankajournal.com" target="_blank">www.lankajournal.com</a></blockquote>
