Major cyber attack on Maldivian government websites following controversy over PM Modi's Lakshadweep visit

Maldivian government websites, including the President's Office, experienced hours-long outages due to technical issues, possibly a cyber attack. The disruption prompted an apology from the President's Office, with the National Centre for Information Technology actively resolving the issue. Platforms crucial for official communication were affected. Simultaneously, a pro-Maldives account's social media attack on India triggered criticism, with ministers and citizens using offensive language. Deputy Minister Mariyam Shiuna insulted PM Modi, while Zahid Rameez, a PPM Council member, made racist remarks against Indians, questioning India's competitiveness with Maldives. The Maldives government distanced itself from the remarks, citing them as personal opinions.
