Riyadh - BNA
A series of Saudi governmental websites, including that of the Interior Ministry, have been exposed to several coordinated and simultaneous cyber attacks over the past few days, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported. A Saudi Interior Ministry’s source told SPA that the ministry’s website crashed on Wednesday after it received a huge amount of service requests, but was back online in less than one hour later after the necessary technical drills were performed to counter the attack. The same source added that investigations into the sabotage attacks have been launched, pledging that the website will continue providing its services for the citizens and residents.
