Madhya Pradesh Shuts 22 Government Websites Amid Cyber Attack Alert

The Madhya Pradesh administration announced that 22 of its government websites have been taken offline as a precautionary measure following a cyber‑attack alert from the National Informatics Centre (NIC). The shutdown is part of a broader effort to safeguard state digital infrastructure.\n\nNIC warned that several of the state’s web servers were running obsolete PHP versions, making them vulnerable to exploitation. In response, the state IT department has begun upgrading these servers to newer, more secure software releases.\n\nOfficials said the websites will remain offline until the updates are completed and security checks are passed. The move is intended to prevent potential data breaches and service disruptions that could affect public services and citizen access to government information.
