After Defense & Home Affairs, Law ministry website goes down
A short while after the Ministry of Defense website started leading to an error page and Chinese characters started appearing on it, the websites of Home and Law Ministry have also gone down.
The websites of Ministry of Home Affairs (mha.gov.in) and Law Ministry (http://lawmin.gov.in/) went down flashed: “The requested service is temporarily unavailable. Sorry for Inconvenience. It would be available soon” and “The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later” messages respectively.
The Defence Ministry tweeted to say, “Issue with the MoD website has been taken note of. Appropriate action has been initiated.” Defense Minister Nirmala Sitharaman assured the website will be restored shortly.
Earlier this year, the government informed the Lok Sabha that over 700 websites linked to the central and state governments were hacked in the past four years.
