Director of Industries Nikhil Chakravarthy said in a statement that the portal had been recovered from the control of cyber criminals and that additional cyber security measures were being implemented before it was reopened to users. “We have taken back control of the portal from cyber criminals. The website is being equipped with stronger cyber security firewalls and will be made available again within two days,” he said.

The Industries Department is strengthening the portal’s security standards to prevent a recurrence of such incidents. The enhanced safeguards are being put in place before the online platform is restored to public access.
