The website of the Public Service Commission of Madhesh state has been hacked. The hacker has placed promotional materials for cryptocurrencies on the website.
After opening the website, when trying to skip the information placed there, the site is redirected to a page with promotional content about cryptocurrency.
Similarly, while tapping on various other categories, the page is redirected to a site containing crypto and various advertisements.
If any website link redirects to an irrelevant site, it should be understood as hacked. Hackers tend to hack government sites to leak data and use it for criminal activities.
As the site is hacked, the data of users and public services are at risk. Not only the data of the site but also other sensitive data of the common users who open the link can get into the hands of the hacker. , Hackers hack the official website and redirect it to spam or phishing links, thereby putting other user data at risk.
As this website has been hacked, users are suggested not to open the site by any means. After the ban on cryptocurrencies in Nepal, the trend of hacking YouTube channels and websites and promoting them is increasing day by day.
The Commission is investing in the matter and trying to get the site back.
