We are deeply sorry for the disruption this incident has caused our customers and partners. We know the trust they place in our services and take that responsibility extremely seriously. We are seeing broad recovery and stability across our services.
This was a technical issue not related to cyber or AI / agents. The incident was introduced by an issue during an earlier network capacity upgrade that surfaced following a recent network change. We have addressed the underlying issue and continue to restore service to remaining customers and regions.
Given the scale of demand, we restored services gradually, validating stability at each stage. While this took longer, it helped ensure a stable restoration.
We will provide a full post-incident report once our review is complete.

For the engineers fixing Outlook today, bringing the servers back online is only half the battle.
The real pain is spending all of next week in meetings explaining the root cause to ten VPs who have never looked at a server in their lives.

තුඩුගල ඇල්ල පෙනි පෙනී
හලාගිය කුණු කන්ද...
දොඩංගොඩ, තුඩුගල ඇල්ලට ඉතා ආසන්න, එම ඇල්ලෙහි කුඩා කොටසක් කඩා වැටෙන සංවේදී පරිසර කලාපයක් වන තුඩුගල -කැන්දකඩුව මාර්ගයට විශාල කුණු ප්රමාණයක් ටිපර් රථයකින් පැමිණ පසුගියදා දමා ගොස් තිබුණි.
We've seen it with Cloudflare, we've seen it with GCP, we've seen it with AWS, we've seen it with 365, and we've seen it with others. More people getting on the cloud is inevitable. But, the entire world is leading towards (a) massive SPOF(s)!

A nationwide study has found that 49.1% of Sri Lankans surveyed would leave the country if given the opportunity (52.7% among Gen Z respondents). Financial stress, struggle to afford basic essentials, Limited job opportunities & economic uncertainty are among the main reasons. – at Sri Lanka

The viral video on possible assault on a young Srilankan by a group of foreigners still has no comment from law enforcement or SLTDA.
Silence hurts the image of the country.
Damage already done to our tourism, sadly.
No Touristy nation would welcome locals taken for granted.

Remember eMudhra with their Most Secure Private Key Of All Times?
So here's how they managed to do it:
1) They exported a private key from the hardware security module (HSM) into a regular PC (!).
2) They processed this private key with a Python script they wrote (!!).
3) The script had a bug that ruined the key by truncating it to a single byte (!!!).
4) They imported the ruined key back into the HSM and certified it with the root CA.
But that's not the end of it. After the initial "ceremony", the HSM held two keys: the good original and the ruined copy.
A month later, this is what happened:
1) The certificates contained the ruined copy's public key, but the revocation lists (CRLs) were signed with the good original, so their signatures failed to verify.
2) Instead of investigating the problem, eMudhra "fixed" it by signing the CRLs with the ruined key instead.
3) The weak keys went unnoticed until an outside researcher reported them in October 2026.
Good job!

8 days later. No reply from officials yet. Is fraud a norm in Sri lanka? We have already sent a court
Order to the said bank. Sadly no reply no response! 😊 @NewsWireLK
My 70-year-old father lost Rs. 4.6 million yesterday in a phone scam.
Someone called claiming to be handling a “tax calculation” (using the HNB name) and asked for his banking details and OTPs. He gave them, not realising what was happening.
Please share this so others don’t lose their savings:
• Banks, the Inland Revenue Department, or any government office will never ask for your OTPs, PINs, passwords, or full account/card details over the phone.
• If someone calls asking for these, hang up immediately.
• Call the official bank number printed on your card or listed on the bank’s website yourself to verify.
• Talk to your parents, grandparents, and elderly relatives about this. These scams specifically target older people. And its currently happening as we speak, HNB office bearer casually told me this was the 3rd one for this week. 😣
This can happen to anyone. Stay alert.
