The official YouTube channel of the President’s Office has been hacked and is currently unavailable, coinciding with a livestream of President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu’s tour of selected Maldivian islands.
The compromised YouTube channel serves as a key archive, containing numerous recordings of former Maldivian presidents and vice presidents. Despite the hack, the President’s Office’s other social media platforms remain fully operational.
This is not the first such incident; several social media accounts linked to Maldivian government offices have been targeted in the past, though most were eventually restored.
The cause of the hack and the measures being taken to restore the channel remain unclear.
