The official website of Bangladesh Press Council, the body in charge of moderating journalism in the country, has been hacked.
The website www.presscouncil.gov.bd bore a message “Hacked by Dr.SHA6H” when reached on Monday morning.
The hacked message contains a youtube video of Syria’s misery and condemnation to other countries for not helping the war-torn country.
Bangladesh Press Council is a quasi-judicial body for the purpose of preserving the freedom of the press, the Ministry of Information says.
It also maintains and improves the standard for newspapers and news agencies of Bangladesh.
On February 18, the Government of Bangladesh declared the newspaper sector as an industry separating it from the service sector.
