The website of the Department of  Foreign Employment under the Ministry of Labor, Employment and Social Security, Government of Nepal is hacked. When opening the department’s site in the browser, a link to the Chinese website is redirected.

When opening this website, which is made for people who are going or want to go for foreign employment and office staff or institutional users, the Chinese site will be opened after the link is redirected.

Cyber security experts say if any website’s link gets redirected to another site, it is understood to be hacked. The hacker evaluates which way the website gets more traffic and redirects the site through that way.

If the site is hacked, the data of the users and the department will be at risk. Hackers hack government sites to leak data and use it for criminal activities.”

Experts suggest being cautious because not only the data of the site can be theft by hackers but also other data of ordinary users who open the link can be captured. In such a situation, the hacker hacks the official website and redirects it to a spam or phishing link, which puts other data of the user at risk.

Although there is no problem with the desktop version, the website of the department is redirected to the mobile version. As this website has been hacked, people are suggested not to open the site by any means.
