The Ministry of Health (MOH) has temporarily closed its official website for the purpose of updating and improving cybersecurity features. This measure was taken following a cyber attack on 27 June 2026 when the website's homepage was hacked and replaced with threatening images and messages by a hacking group known as Mushr00w.
After the incident, MOH immediately removed the inappropriate display before announcing that the site was currently undergoing maintenance. MOH also advised the public to avoid accessing the website for the time being and warned against clicking on suspicious links or downloading any files from the portal.
MOH informed that investigations and remedial actions are underway with relevant agencies following the cyber threat incident and developments will be shared from time to time. So far, there is no indication that the incident affected critical systems or caused a leak of sensitive data.
The ministry's health service system will also continue to operate as usual as it is protected by a separate technology framework with strict cybersecurity controls.
