(Lanka-e-News -30.Aug.2016, 11.30PM) Following the arrest of the teenaged student who hacked the official website of president Maithripala Sirisena , and deleted the data therein , it has come to light that another individual had helped him , and that individual too had been arrested. The suspect is 26 years old Janathi Madushanka from Moratuwa.
After the two suspects were produced before Colombo chief magistrate Gihan Pilapitiya , the judge ordered that the teenager be entrusted to the custody of Child probation home until the 2nd of September while the other suspect be remanded until the 2nd of September.
Under the new Cyber laws of SL , accessing another’s website on the sly , and changing the contents of a website (hacking) are grave offences ,and the suspect is liable to a fine of Rs. 300,000.00 or three years imprisonment or both.
It is a pertinent question why , similarly prompt action is not being taken even after the defeat of the despots ,against those who banned websites illegally to suit the needs of despots in contravention of justice and ethics ?
